  • [quote] Originally posted by TJM: Based on miscellaneous comments from a variety of sources (nothing explicit, just trying to put 1 and 1 together), it appears to me that Apple has indeed taken over the chip design, possibly with lots of help from …
  • [quote]Originally posted by Matsu: By next year, budget PCs will do the trick. It isn't even, really, 'emulation' more like an extensive 'patching', some kinda directX with a shell around it. Anyway, unless x-box has moved over 10 million units by …

  • I find it interesting that Apple even cited these rumour sites. Certainly if people weren't looking at them before MW SF, then they are now. I don't understand what Apple thought to gain by giving these sites as much credence as they have (when t…

  • This technology has been around for a while I think, but it is only apparently now that it is being standardised (by the bigwigs on the DVD forum etc). It is not backwards compatible (I don't think) with current DVD standards, and blue lasers are…
  • What is it that you do powerdoc?
  • Then Mot will commit Seppuku, and IBM will volunteer to be the honourable friend to take it's head off! Hehehe... [ 03-05-2002: Message edited by: DaveLee ]
  • What makes you think so? Are you guessing? And anyway, all this arguing about semantics is a waste of time. Basically Apple CAN release new hardware products as they have not issued a press release to this effect (investors have problems with c…
  • I also think that a top-out of 1.4 Ghz would leave headroom. If we get 1.2, 1.4 and dual 1.2/1.4 G5s, this will be a nice increase from the current G4s, allow Apple and Moto room to scale the G5s (and fab more) and also (hopefully) keep the pri…
  • People, let us not forget that Macworld spoke to one of Motorola's employees back in November. Paul Clark confirmed that the G4 would top out at around 1 Ghz and that the G5 was progressing 'well'. I don't know where all the rumours of 1.4 Ghz G…
  • This is one of the best threads yet. Anyway, ATI are set to release 8500 and 7500 Mac AGP cards at the expo. (Register) Also, there is an item on yourdailymac (which I am very cautious of) which states that G4 LCD iMacs and an unbelievable 'towe…
  • I agree with you JD, Apple needs to focus more on the education side. I have been a loyal Apple user since I was 11, my last computer being a IIvx which I have just donated to my younger sister. I am now a PhD student and can afford something a l…
  • Just a thought - What about the nomenclature? Motorola hasn't denied the existence of the 8540. Is it unreasonable to assume that the initial G5 type 8500 (or whatever) is actually out there sampling? (I know that the difference is large - 854…
