  • If there are supply problems of the G4 it must be news to Apple. They are using G4s in 5 separate product lines and now there are third-party upgrades with G4s up to 1 GHz. Apple is going to upgrade the G4s, there no doubt about it. If they do…
    in The "No Speed Bump" scenario... Comment by nitride June 2002
  • I think the Cube could have been damn near perfect *if* the ports were on the BACK side instead of underneath it. Having to turn it over to plug/unplug things is an interesting experience. The Cube is deceptively heavy for its size and its top he…
    in Cube revival or updates soon? Comment by nitride June 2002
  • Now you know why Steve showed off "InkWell" in Mac OS X 10.2 at the WWDC. MS was already working on a version (who knows, maybe they got some tech from Apple with the patent-swap/non-compete agreement that just expired) as we now see. Of cours…
    in Microsoft Tablets: Will Apple have one, too? Comment by nitride June 2002
  • There is a confluence of info about an iPad PDA-like device coming from Apple for a long time now. There are many independent mentions of an Apple PDA in Taiwanese trade mags, just like there were for a larger screen iBook and LCD iMac. Sudden…
    in Article Mentioning an Apple PDA? (Fran?) Comment by nitride June 2002
  • As usual you all missed the point. This is to protect content carried up from a device via 1394 and then transmitted over WiFi so it can't be captured and saved/watched by someone else (who probably didn't pay for the rights to the content). T…
    in 1394 Goes Wireless - Gigawire Comment by nitride June 2002
  • Apple had as near perfect a platform for a really powerful PDA that has never been matched (not even by Windoze CE/PocketPC which is just scaled down Windoze). It was called Newton, it had its own OS and it was 10 years ahead of everything else. …

  • Yes. Eventually. Next question? [ 06-18-2002: Message edited by: Nitride ]
    in Will There Be An Updated tiBook? Comment by nitride June 2002
  • Xserve claims 1 GB/s CPU to System Controller (new implementation according to Apple to support DDR RAM) so there is definately some different mobo mojo going on in there. Add some FireWire 2 and maybe true DDR RAM support and the new desktop sho…
    in MacWorld in New York - 2002 is Apple's year Comment by nitride June 2002
  • Inventory build up of PowerPC. We have just seen PowerLogix announce G4 upgrades of up to 1 GHz. Why would Moto suddenly have some extra inventory to sell to PowerLogix when Apple is using G4 in *four* totally separate product lines; G4 tower, Xs…
    in MacWorld in New York - 2002 is Apple's year Comment by nitride June 2002
  • All this would be fine and dandy except for one niggling detail. It would take up to two years to fully convert/port/adapt SGI products and then release something based on all that tech hardware-wise. If Apple were interested in the buy-the-su…
    in Could this be the future? Oh, I wish... Comment by nitride June 2002
  • For squeemish liberals, just replace "blow job" with "G5" or "G4/DDR" and you will be fine.
    in this is a sign !!! Comment by nitride June 2002
  • I will never understand that "if apple doesn't give me a blow job at MWNY, I will get a PC" attitude. Geeze if its so bad, go get a PC and leave us alone. I don't go to PC forums and say "Gee if DELL makes an iMac-like PeeCee, you know with built…
    in this is a sign !!! Comment by nitride June 2002
  • The G5 will prolly be MWSF 2003, which will probably be faster CPU and different case design. Apple seems to recycle the case design for YEARS and the QuickSilver was just a faceplate and color change from the previous design. Frankly its a good …
    in I am curious to see what you guys really think: MWNY Prediction Thread. Comment by nitride June 2002
  • New LCD displays and a Mac OS X 10.2 ship date. iMac speed bump to ~933 MHz. One more thing... Same QuickSilver style case w/new DDR mobo up to Dual 1.2 GHz "new" G4. Gigawire thingy finally explained.
    in I am curious to see what you guys really think: MWNY Prediction Thread. Comment by nitride June 2002
  • Believe it or not it can take a long time to get a new model into full scale production. First of all the (hopefully) new G4//G5 CPUs must be made in large quantities as this is the only component that cannot be purchased "off the shelf". Moto is…
    in CONFIRMED: G5 enters volume production! Comment by nitride June 2002
  • Ahahaha! Ryan Meader got home from his job at the movie theatre and must have read my comment about the trackpad area of the iBook and TiBook being large enough for use as a writing area, if Apple only included a stylus. That exact concept …
    in Inside info: the padless tablet. Comment by nitride June 2002
  • Apple will include a special stylus with the iBook and TiBook to allow you to "write" on the trackpad area. What, you haven't noticed how large the trackpad area is now? Unless you have giant man hands its quite large.

    in Sculley Anouncement? Comment by nitride June 2002
  • Apple is going to announce that despite 10 years of dedicated work on PowerPC by Apple, Motorola and IBM the whole thing is a dead end technologically speaking. Specifically mentioning Junkyard Dawg and matsu Steve Jobs will announce that Apple w…
    in Something BIG is coming at MWNY Comment by nitride June 2002
  • You are all wrong. Apple will just announce it is finally shipping those Bluetooth adaptors after getting shafted by the OEM. Jobs will apologize profusefuly for taking orders when the product was nearly vaporware to begin with. Apple's stock …
