Submission + - Apple's failed Mac Clones

Gammu writes: Apple's most recent attempt to enter the cut-throat low-cost PC market, the Mac mini, was not its first. In the early-nineties, Apple was looking to license the Mac OS to a major PC manufacturer like Gateway 2000 or Dell. The big PC manufacturers declined, so Apple turned to Power Computing, which ultimately released computers faster and cheaper than Apple's own lineup. Instead of winning new customers, Power merely siphoned off some of Apple's.

Jacob writes: "A rocket which malfunctioned during launch a year ago recently exploded in orbit over Australia, and a number of amateur astronomers, including Rob McNaught (discoverer of Comet McNaught) were able to photograph the explosion and the resulting debris. NASA are now tracking over 1000 fragments, meaning that this has produced more space junk than China's recent ASAT test, it's possible that the fire and explosion were triggered by an encounter with space junk in orbit, and it's also possible the new junk cloud could impact other satellites in the future."
