Does anyone have any information about volume of recorders sold? Steve said during the keynote that 50% of all Macs bought (I guess since Jan) have had a superdrive. I reckon this still licks the number of PCs sold with DVD-R/+R? I think it is…

This would make an ideal science project at school. Any takers?

I quite like the tower design

Anyone see Thinksecret's story on the Apple layoffs: [quote] "They said that based on current demand and customer interest, they see a continuing slump in sales until at least the middle of next year." Maybe this converges with the new chip …

This interests me most [quote] IBM plans to make the PowerPC 970 chip available next year. Now I understand that this doesn't mean that we will get it in January, but I think that (as per G4 introduction) it may be a little earlier than many…

[quote]Origiannly posted by MicrosoftOsXp: If this chip is supposed to be announced at the microprocessor forum in october would they release the chip in powermacs, before its officially announced? I doubt IBM will officially announce the…

That would be nice. '2GHz IBM Power4l-PC' [ 08-09-2002: Message edited by: DaveLee ]

Perhaps but... [quote] The new chip, which Big Blue will unveil at this fall's Microprocessor Forum, is designed to deliver higher clock speeds and 64-bit processing to desktop computers and also to entry-level servers. [quote] "It's a rea…

This article is written as if the chip is ready to go!

[quote] Originally posted by apple.otaku: If this chip is being made for Apple and seeing as how its not an embedded processor, wouldn't Apple get to announce models using it before IBM spews out technical details? I had a look at this last nig…

[quote] I'm happy. Me too [quote] Once this chip is confirmed as a part apple could use, Apple's high end sales will go stagnant until it's release. I think Apple will have to realise soon that they HAVE to make an announcement of …

[quote] Originally posted by Matsu: They ***NEVER*** had any G3 running faster than equivalent G4's over the past 2 and a half years. I had assumed that the reason for this was due to the Apple marketing perspective (i.e. there is no way tha…

Curiouser and curiouser... Very strangely written though. [edit: Spelling, Bah!] [ 08-02-2002: Message edited by: DaveLee ]

[quote] Originally posted by Animaniac: That road map also says that theirs a shipping Book E, PPC chip running at 500MHz + with DDR and PCI-X? ... I don't see such a chip... Whilst not exactly what Apple could use, IBM does have a product wit…

I don't buy it. I think if Apple and Motorola's relationship was really in such a precarious predicament, Mot would have given us some backhanded clues. The fact that they remain so tight-lipped about their future products means that they still a…

How long would it take to cobble together a special event? How far in advance would invitations have to be sent out to the press? Surely Aug 5 is too soon to have this kind of release? If there is a special event, then upgrades would be good, bu…

Also, if anyone has noticed, Mot has changed their MPC8540 info page (now has specific speeds of bus interfaces e.g DDR 166Mhz - which I assume is dbl pumped to get 333Mhz). Sorry too lazy/busy to find a link.

[quote] I do not entirely disagree with you, however when Jobs said "it was a humble entry", I do not think he was reffering to the technology inside the server as being "humble" That would have been a side of Steve that not many people have se…

But SJ said that the release of the Xserve was a 'humble' one. What do you think will attract potential server purchasers more - a) tried and tested and very reliable technology (as is) or b) brand spanking new tech that may come with a whole host o…

But don't forget as well that Apple's hardware engineers have squeezed an enormous amount of throughput (I think we would all agree) from the apparently modest capabilities of the MPX bus. What I would like to see is that gusto applied to a real …
