    Problem:

    with this new rendition the bottom of the device has no way of docking. Yeah, there could be a USB connector on top, but that would mean the screen would be upside down when docked.

He doesn't seem like his old self not that I know him personally or anything.





    That's because those people who did not evacuate New Orleans before the hurricane are too poor to buy his product. As Steve himself would say with his famous words "F***-em"

    we placed a large order for various equipment through the Apple Store and the rep told us the dual 2.7 we ordered was gonna take 2 weeks more (albeit, it was a customized model). The guy actually SUGGESTED to me to have it delivered within 10 days of the 20th (when there was supposed to be the Keynote in Paris) so that if there was a PowerMac update by the 20th, I would be eligible for a free upgrade. They would send a new PowerMac and they would take back the other.



    Either the guy was a rumor junkie like the rest of us, or he knew something.



    Anyway, I asked for the delivery of the PowerMac for the 15th just in case. Week more, week less, I'd rather be on the safe side

    Get some ridiculously high benchmarks, that's what (says he from his PIII 800mhz)



    EDIT: Figured I should say something about the topic.



    GUYS - stop stalking the dude, who cares if he went to the races to *maybe* bet on his own horse which he *probably* has never owned.



    I'm hoping we get the Motorolo/itunes phone. Am looking for a phone soon, and if it can replace my PDA as Mp3 playing device, so much the better. Just need some more pockets, that's all, I dont think cargo pants are int he school dress code. If only Apple would bring out a Motorolo/itunes/PDA phone, that would be uber cool. For me, the geek at least, i dont know how it would sit with the traditional ipoders.



    But the PDA is never going to happen, so i'll settle for the phone.



    I'm hoping (dismal at best) that we get some computer updates. The lacking of 2.7ghz powermacs seems to indicate this, but its been indicated wrongly before. I dont think we will see any x86 based machines at this is a conference for Apples big market - it's mp3 players.



    IF the mini goes flash - will apple keep the shuffle? Wouldn't it be simpler to simply give a low and high capacity version of the mini? I know the screen would would swallow up cash, but Apple can already command a price premium, take advantage of us so they can keep wasting money on the computer market.



    <educated guess><sidenote> WHen they update the mac mini to x86, it is probably going to be a celeron M, and the older centrino kind. It will probably be intel intergrated graphics </sidenote></educated guess>

    thou speakest blasphemy, heathen! celeron M with intel integrated graphics is the ultimate tool of the devil



    heh. nah, they'll keep the iPod chewing gum (Shuffle) because kids and teens are raving about it, dragging their parents into any and every Apple store.



    then the parents are like, wait a minute, they also have these Mac things some people are nuts about.... let me just jiggle this... whoa, mighty mouse? around.... hmm.. *click* click



    bah, probably wont solve my virus problems stupid windows piece of crap infection i have at home.... *click* click...



    sales guy walks up... "sir/madam, do you know that mac os 10.4 tiger is super stable and secure"



    yeah right... c'mon kids, get your iPod Shuffles and let's go...




    next day, hey, hmm, the wife/ husband/ boyfriend/ girlfriend is off looking at shoes/ shirts/ plasma tvs... i'll just wander over to... *click* click... *click *click...

    10 am Pacific, 1 pm Eastern. I guess you're somewhere in the middle.



    It should have started by now.



    Cross out the last line.

    Rumor has it that we will see the iTunes enabled mobile phone from Motorola. One question, could today be the day that we see the Video iPod?



    A couple of sites are already making references to the Video iPod:



    http://www.cinematology.com/ states "Feed your video iPod"



    http://www.consumers4choice.org/site/PageServer states "Find out if you won an Apple Video iPod November 9th"



    If we do see the Video iPod today or at some point in the near future, it will be a great move by Apple to have it out ahead of the 2005 holiday shopping season. I welcome any product that could provide Apple an avenue to sell products to a larger customer base as it should further fuel the "iPod Halo Effect", a term used to describe how iPods have led to sales of Macs.

    Actually, you're right! I was typing this and happened to look up at the time on the screen while I typed 10 am. It was after 10 am.



    I think I psyched myself out.
