  • [quote]Originally posted by WeEeEeEdAsH: I agree that a scroll wheel would be nice. It's like once you've used one you can't go back. Having the mouse click by tilting it in one of 8 directions all having different functions of course would be …
  • [quote]Originally posted by WeEeEeEdAsH: To allow you to take the keyboard and mouse further from your computer... lol, I guess I just don't get it. When I get more than 6 or 7 feet from the screen I can't read it anyway. But then, I have …
  • [quote]Originally posted by WeEeEeEdAsH: so you guys don't think it charging through the USB is the right solution? I think of that like "docking" your keyboard and mouse. I'm sure it could last at least 5 hours with those rechargable battery's..…
  • Yeah...I really think the iMac is fine as-is. I mean, one wire to the back of the computer isn't making anyone's desk look like a weed garden. I really wish they had a single USB port on the front though, for the keyboard. -S
  • I like the above idea. I also think some Flat TV's have a way to get their power wirelessly, but I haven't really looked into it that much because the things are so damn expensive! But yes, I think the reason that Apple hasn't gone wireless with…
  • I don't think it will be very long before we get some kind of update, but I think Apple is trying to make the jump as large as possible - perhaps straight to 1.4/1.6 GHz. I suppose they likely have a date set where new G*'s will be announced, and t…
  • Mirroring only on the video out. I'm *pretty* sure that the drives are full-size. However, the video card is pretty much on the board itself - non-upgradeable, which is a pain in the ass! -S
  • [quote]Originally posted by Junkyard Dawg: LOL, what's that bus's speed? BTW, I don't see the Apollo ever being used in powermacs. It's a low power chip. What the hell does a Powermac need a low power chip for?? These Powermacs have enough fa…
  • My *guess* is that the PowerMacs will get the Apollo chip as a step between the G4 and the G5, running anywhere between 1.0 and 1.4-1.6 GHz (I have no clue where it'll land when released). As long as the PM's are dependent on the current bus speed,…
  • I'm fairly sure things have changed since that post. In any rate, the new iMac should be safe because it shares the same audio technology as the G4 towers now that it outputs to the pro speakers. -S
  • The iSub will work with any USB mac out now, including the new iMac. This thread belongs in "Current Hardware." -S
  • Complaints go in general discussion. I know I'm an ass Having a bad day.
  • I just think the whole situation is summed up by "there's no pleasing some people." The *only* thing that upsets me about this is that Apple gave people what they asked for in the iMac, and now it's not adequate. People asked for an LCD, and ask…
  • [quote]Originally posted by JW Pepper: Oh I forgot to mention the dock and iTunes. My guess is that you have your dock too big or should have it hidden or something. It's really not that bad, and things can be minimized. You might have to have…
  • I believe that I did say "for the moment" and it is not wrong that consumers do not need 17". Unless you've got a bunch of editing tools all over your screen there's very little reason to have more than 15" viewable. The only thing I use the extra…
  • [quote]Originally posted by suckfuldotcom: Hear, hear, brother! I don't see what the crime would be to put out a 17" version, and not a squarish 4:3 or 3:2 but a bitching wide 16:9-ish 1400x768! I'd gladly kick in a couple extra hundred for t…
  • If it were translucent, or even had a Graphite look to it, I'd go for it much more easily. S
  • I don't have a problem with letting "each element be true to itself," but there has got to be a way to have more agreement amongst the elements.
  • Didn't I just say that I would like a cube-like base? You must not have been paying attention...
  • I think the whole thing would look better with a rectangular base (like the cube but shorter). Squish the cube down until it's about 4-5 inches high, inclue the fan of course, move ports to the back...more or less what everyone wanted. For me th…
