  • [quote]Originally posted by psantora: actually if you use ADC as apple wants you to, the cord would go to the display, so you wouldnt even need to connect it to your computer, minimizing clutter even more... Good point...I was thinking in te…
  • [quote]Originally posted by satchmo: You guys don't get it. I'm not saying it's the determining factor of whether or not I buy one. It's a nice feature. Just like an LCD display. A CRT works just fine but it's more cumbersome. On another le…
  • [quote]Originally posted by satchmo: I was a little disappointed that a cordless keyboard was not part of the new iMac's features. But I wonder if on would be more appropriate for the pro line. Obviously, with the larger footprint, some sort o…
  • [quote]Originally posted by DaveGee: Come again?? Please show me the link to the patent. Cause I'd love to see how to interface Glass Fiber to Copper and still support 100 meters @ 3.2Gbps. And for those who think it's for audio systems... P…
  • [quote]Originally posted by bunge: That's probably what people said about a 14" iBook... Actually, the 14" iBook was a widely-predicted rumor for last year's MWNY.
  • [quote]Originally posted by bunge: According to this article, prices of 15" screens are set to rise, but 17" screens should still fall in price. If that's the case, wouldn't it make sense for Apple to offer a 17" model to alleviate some of the d…
  • It would probably be a press release if all we're getting is 1.0GHz...nothing to brag about...in fact, making a big deal about it would probably be more likely to make a laughing stock out of Apple than staying quiet. So...I'm thinking about 8 or 9…
  • "This won't be out until this comes out, which depends on this...." They're using a lot of words to tell you that we won't get Gigawire (which I still believe has little to do with Firewire as we know it), faster Firewire, USB 2, DDR, or updated …
  • [quote]Originally posted by BungHole: Oh thanks Spiffy!!!!! Please continue. Let me know in six months when your done babbling to yourself. Just post it here and I will check back on my new mac with optical sound port. LOL What, you're angry now…
  • [quote]Originally posted by BungHole: Whatever guys, what is this like something that you just have a special love for on your mac, old fashioned audio? Optical is going to be on every stereo and PC. Soundblaster doesn't make the Audigy for mac, ye…
  • [quote]Originally posted by applenut: show me a 5.1 USB solution optical is standard on everything. all dvd players have optical. coaxal is not standard all surround receivers on the market today have at least optical. minidisc has o…
  • Applenut, you do not need optical to do 5.1 - it can be done with USB, and there are options out there. "Optical" isn't necessarily standard on anything these days - bit Dolby 5.1 is, whether it be through optical, coax, or software/USB. I'm also …
  • [quote]Originally posted by JCG: Becouse my $1000+ sterio system is much better quality running through my $1000+ Bose speakers than any set of USB speakers on the market, and all I would need to buy is a cable. Then I could run iTunes as a MP3 p…
  • [quote]Originally posted by BungHole: The optical port would allow connection to a stereo with an optical port. This is the standard that stereo is using now. In case you have not heard a Sound Blaster Audigy system with 5.1, it is just incredible.…
  • [quote]Originally posted by tompage: I'm interested in the proposed optical port. Has this been mentioned before in this forum? If not, assuming this info is not genuine (which seems to be the majority view) I wonder where this came from? It sou…
  • I say this guy is a big faker.... I don't think Apple has any set release dates for this stuff - they know they're in a hole and need to get out of it ASAP. This guy is also over-extending himself. Anyone who's ever proven to be a true inside…
  • I'm pretty sure he would use a PowerBook...still the sleekest thing coming out of Cupertino. This thread is way off the topic of "future hardware."
  • It'd be great until it put some kids eye out.
  • [quote]Originally posted by Blizaine: I thought iDVD only worked with apples internal DVD-R drive and only DVD Studio Pro worked with external/"3rd party" drives... did they update iDVD? that would be cool. People have gotten it to work with ex…
  • 1. Steve said that the Superdrive in the iMac was a "Full Size Superdrive." 2. Notice that the iMac is not slot-load. It's a pretty good bet that one reason for this is because nobody has made a slot-loading Superdrive yet, and the TiBook is s…
