It's amazing that nobody considers (a) Apple would need to charge for the Siri app...remember FaceTime??? It's a pretty serious accounting issue since they've already booked the revenue for the 3gs and 4 models. (b) Nobody, not even Microsoft…

A few things: Siri works best with a headset. The fact that it works at all with an "open-air" mike is a minor miracle. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to filter out background noise? The audio processing and compression are done on…

Apple's OpenCL implementation fully allows use of multiple OpenCL-capable GPU's simultaneously. If you have a Mac Pro, you can add additional GPUs to increase your OpenCL capabilities. On machines with an integrated GPU and a discrete GPU, you h…

1. The only thing at risk is the Mac Pro, since its form of PCI-E is somewhat architecture dependent. Thunderbolt is not. 2. Apple is NOT dropping x86 architecture. 3. When the hardware is known, x86 can be emulated faster than an actual x86 p…

Has anyone considered that Apple is going to bankrupt the "old line" technology companies? This is pretty much like the cold war. Everyone is killing themselves to make an "iPad killer" and/or an "iPhone killer" and/or a "MacBook Air killer" and…

No pornography in the app store. Restrict it to HTML5, but don't make me deal with it unless I'm looking for it. The iPhone/iPad have done extremely well without X-rated content. I doubt Apple wants to sully its image with such things.

Two points: 1. A Mac Mini, strapped to one of these boxes ***is*** your Mac Pro. 2. Thunderbolt is effectively 4 10Gbps channels. The DisplayPort data is not treated specially compared to non-DisplayPort data, and it is not mandatory that you…
