I think we need to wrap our brains around the idea that right now Apple does not want to be in the business/communications device market, and they're pretty happy with what others are doing in the area. Your Palm can sync with a mac fine; many othe…

[quote]Originally posted by Junkyard Dawg: There is no reason to think this would happen. In fact, if both Macs and PCs had the same CPUs, then it would be one less reason to buy a Mac. Currently the G4 is faster at SOME things. If Apple c…

[quote]Originally posted by Keda: Apple is committed to the PPC. They have marketed the Velocity Engine and The Megahertz Myth for a while now. Switching to aother architecture would be a logistical and marketing nightmare. I think it would kill…

[quote]Originally posted by Mac Sack Black: Um, forgive me for asking what is probably a dense question, but why are there these constant calls for Apple/some consortium including Apple to "make a bid" for Motorola's SPS? What, Apple should spend u…

Who knows? MOTO's semiconductor business may be up for grabs soon - the rights to PowerPC developent will be this year. Apple could simply be waiting for either of these opportunities to purchase either of these and bring development in-house (the…

Apple seems quite happy with its current line, so I wouldn't expect anything soon. The more surprising fact is that reviewers seem to be pretty satisfied with the Dual GHz machines as well, even in non-tech publications. Is it me, or is the press …

I think the current iMac is a good consumer package, and the PowerMac is a great value for someone who wants a 17" display. I'd also add that the most requested update to the CRT iMac was a 17" model, which is essentially what we now have in terms …

Cool, but probably last on my list of things that Apple needs to come out with right now. More of a novelty device than a truly useful/creative digital hub appliance. S

I think Apple should be using all its resources to accelerate work on the G5, not quad processors. A decent amount of processor R&D has gone in-house since Motorola's troubles have started (of course, they're still working with MOT to a huge de…

Well, if you can't beat 'em.... There are certain things I find to be constant in this forum, going years back... -Nothing is ever big enough -Nothing is ever fast enough -As soon as posters' "dream machines" of yesterday come out, it's time …

Before I see a new iPod, I'd like to see a dock that will hook to an A/V receiver to play MP3's and any iMovies that might be stored on the HD. S

So in other words, the next PowerMac might be a G5, unless it's not. In which case it would be a G4. And it's going to be released 2 days ago, or maybe in weeks to come. Thanks for the update S

What bullshit. And, so that my reply isn't a total waste, I would have to go with a "no" on this one considering that Apple demonstrated once that even if it supports a cone manufacturer, it can yank the license at any time and discontinue suppor…

This seems about right. Two (admittedly little) things that are below my expectations: 1. GHz - 1.2 would have been nice, probably a lot less whiners. 1.4 would have been enough to have an event rather than a quiet release. 2. There is NO …

Forget FireWire - it should pull them from AirPort when in range, and then store to be displayed "wherever." Just a simple "Send to iFrame" command from iPhoto. S
