The Mac Observer Spin: What a week! Apple's stock skyrocketed to a new all time high while Apple rolled out the fastest personal computers on the planet! In fact, they are technically classified as Supercomputers because they are capable of achieving 1 billion operations per second (also known as a Gigaflop).

The only thing to sully the mood was confirmation that Apple had included code in their latest G3 firmware update that disables a Blue & White G3 that has been upgraded to a G4.

We also saw Apple hit with a lawsuit over using the name OS 9 which has been trademarked by a company in Iowa called Microware.
