Trip down memory lane
While taking a break from studying for finals, I stumbled upon the <a href="http://www.appleinsider.com/archives.phtml" target="_blank">AppleInsider archives</a>. Unlike the archive of our beloved AI boards, this collection of articles is so complete that it includes the early articles from MacNN Reality from 1997. Wow... what a trip down memory lane! It's scary to think how long my addiction to Mac rumors has lasted.
An other intersting tidbit I found was that AppleInsider actually got one of its <a href="http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/9811/about-appleinsider.shtml" target="_blank">staff from Mac OS Rumors</a>. Who would have thought that?
Don't you love AppleInsider?

Off-topic: I noticed "OmniWeb is included, btw" on one of those old pages... I sure hope Apple does that with 10.2...

[quote]The icon dimensions are 48x48, which will be a necessity as resolutions higher than 1024x768 become more and more common on larger monitors. This will likely be the same default icon size of Mac OS X (consumer). Additionally, Mac OS X Server allows you to select how things should be minimize -- collapsable title bars (Mac OS 8.x) or icons along the bottom of the screen (OpenStep). <hr></blockquote>
[quote]Below is an outline of PowerBookXXX story
-The Thin Line Power Book model (Shown Below) will be razor thin while still delivering a full complement of ports and even an expansion bay for a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive.
-The Second Model is beyond awesome, the keyboard, which is mounted where the screen normally goes in a portable, comes with "snap-lock" hinges
allowing the user to remove it. The computer and its components are actually mounted behind the screen, not underneath the keyboard.
-When the keyboard is separated from the screen module(which also contains the HD, Processor and so on), it doesn't require wires to communicate, instead it relies on a wireless radio transceiver to communicate with the Screen Module (The Computer).
-The user will be able to operate the computer via "remote control" from any angle and any position.
-The members of the Industrial Design Group at Apple are amazing. Not being able to overcome the inherent inability of LCD screens to switch resolutions, they "thought differently" and instead developed a huge, 14-inch active-matrix color screen that will automatically switch orientation from landscape mode to portrait mode when the user pivots the portable. The Apple TM Logo has been thoughtfully placed at the bottom and on the right hand side of the screen model for perfect appearance during any situation.
-There was a time way back when MacWorld did a markup of the future powerbook (which they envisioned, not Apple) and in the markup were detachable fuzzy speakers. Well, it looks like Apple took their advice and produced form-fitting speakers that plug into special sockets on either side of PowerBook's chassis.
-Upon removal of the speakers, the user will be able to snap the two together in order to prevent damage when transporting the PowerBook. <hr></blockquote>
