  • I'm not getting my hopes up at all. In fact I'd rather have a G4 'cause I figure it would be shipping sooner. But "soon" is a very big ball park and if they did release a G5, then Joswiak could explain the comment away almost any way he wants. "S…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Leonard I couldn't agree more, but as Amorph stated, Apple reps have recently stated that there will be no G5 Powerbook anytime soon. Apple has squashed that rumor for a reason - you don't want the expectation out the…
  • Quote: Originally posted by BIgFella I'll believe it when i see it, however, just saw this on macrumors about developer lingo: Lord of the Rings characters (Smeagol/Deagol/etc) = G5-enabling system updates. wasn't the powerbook 10.2.7 calle…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Amorph ...Maybe they can recruit some of the senior engineers abandoning Fiorina's HP in numbers... Unfortunately, Motorola is too busy laying off people to recruit anyone. They are now laying off extremely core pe…
  • That interpretation seems to be correct. The only other interpretation I could see for sentence #1 is that Apple does not want to take any action against Motorola while they are dependant on 7457. But that would be a long shot interpretation - the o…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Amorph ...But most of Mot's current woes can be laid at the feet of their CEO. Who has told analyst ( when asked ) that he will never leave the company. I get a visual of Ahab stabbing a white whale and going down …
  • pscates, I suspect that your right about the PowerBook specs ( although I'd lean toward the 15.2 screen ) AND the accuracy of rumor sites. Although, ( and damn he beat me to it! ) Joek brings up the example of TS and the iPod announcement. Th…
  • Yevgeny has the most convincing explanation although I think MacMall was foolish to do this and risk pissing off it's customers AND Apple all at the same time. I could see that is could be intentional. The most obvious difference to me is that th…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Bill M Earlier this week, while visiting an Apple Store, a young woman there mentioned something that left me in shock... I really do not understand why you give this girl so much credit. Why would she have any kno…
  • Yep, compare it to the stock situation of the iMac. I've been following stock issues for a few weeks and retailers out of stock of the 12 and 15 inch continue to grow. The thing I don't get is that retailers typically do not get any info before a…
  • Quote: Originally posted by neutrino23 Not picking on you in particular but I think a lot of people expect Apple to act in a very linear fashion. If Apple were a 25M$ company with five engineers I could see them behaving as the forums suggest. Ap…
  • Quote: Originally posted by DHagan4755 Could it be that you are right? Could it be that Jack Campbell and MacWhispers is right too? Well, I can see how your chain of events could happen... and it does sound logical. I find myself doing this …
  • Back to the iPod comments... I bought ( actually a gift ) a Creative Jukebox MP3 player a few years ago. I forget the model now but it had a 6 Gig HD and shaped like a large CD player. It was $250 at the time and $150 cheaper than the iPod; howev…
  • I don't think so... if you look at the specs the top iBook is faster and cheaper than the bottom of the line PowerBook. I think this would muddle the product lines even more. Commodus at MacNN posted these specs and prices... I think these make m…
  • Quote: We cuold go another 6 months with no powerbook updates... Arrggghh!!!! Don't say that!!!! ( Clutches chest like Fred Sanford and dies...)
  • Quote: The 15.4" is from various sources, including El Reg and others. Note that all that's been confirmed is that there's a contract to build the things, that they include the magical 15.4" figure, and that it'll be the "second half of this year"…
  • This is interesting... I've been tracking "out-of-stock" bullets on PowerBook Central. The combined total for last Monday ( 7/14/03 ) was 9 "out-of stocks" and the Apple store was at 5-7 days for both 12 inch models and 1-3 days on the superdrive…
  • Not to split hairs but the longest recent pro laptop intro was between the Pismo and the current Titanium at just under 11 months. Pismo ( Firewire version ) - Feb 16, 2000 Titanium G4 - Jan 9, 2001. This is has got to be the thread that wo…
  • And my favorite quote from MacWhispers is... Quote: As posted on MacWhispers by Jack Campbell ?There are really only three methods for creating Apple rumors. Well, there are actually four, if you include "bald face lying" as a method.? How i…
