If AMD can deliver 75% or 70% of the performance for 50% of the price, and can miniturize that, increase the number of cores, or provide adequate cooling systems and technological justification for using double the normal space for the same price, w…

Apple customers would tear that little machine to pieces, and then wonder if it's covered under AppleCare. It looks like a toy, and would likely be treated as such. If Apple did make a 9/10" sub-ibook, it would have cd-rom drive only, no firewire…

I'm a whiner? Please, let's not throw personal slurs just because you disagree. I may be whining at the moment, but I feel justified in doing so, I worked for Apple for 3 years, and have become very frustrated with a seeming attitude of "desk…

My grim assessment is based on the fact that Apple has to work three times as hard to be half as profitable. Apple as a company isn't dying, but Apple *is* getting further and further behind in almost every area. And for some reason Apple thinks the…

It seems like to me that Apple is *trying* very hard to make it look like they won't be announcing any products. I'd say we'll get a minor update on Wednesday. If not then, then we won't see it in Paris, but January. Even if there is a minor…

I use the term pro gamer loosely. Ever heard the word Prosumer? Also known as powerusers. People who play games on PCs and buy video cards with as much video ram as most macs have. That is the market that Apple needs to try harder at, and that is th…

Yes, I was missing a 1 in there somewhere on the price tag. Sleep actually helps sometimes. And that was supposed to be GB, not MB. See previous statement. My point was a machine whose target consumer base are professional gamers. Let me clarify …

If Apple makes too many computer models, one computer design will just take sales from another. That's what happened with the Cube. What Apple really needs to do is to create a computer design that would be purchased primarily by converts. Unfortuna…

Rmh1572, Why do you think Apple is trying to switch to IBM exclusively? Sure, they can't do it as quickly as they like, but Apple *wants* to drop Motorola like a bad habit. Motorola doesn't *care* about Apple or its customers. IBM does. Delphik…

As for the fans issue, there are 9 fans, there are 4 thermal zones. Some of those fans are attached to specific devices. If you're looking at the side view on apple.com/powermac/design.html, the bottom thermal zone is for the power supply. That'…

Correct me if I'm wrong, but with only three points, one cannot plot a curve, but one can plot a plane. And by looking at the three points chosen, it looks askew... 73% of all statistics are fabricated. There are three types of lies. Lies, Dam…

If Apple is going to do anything smaller and more portable than an iBook 12", it will be much like the mockup that Escher posted, but with some notable differences: 1) The keyboard literally plugs in like a huge airport card, for the obvious nece…

But keep in mind the driving force behind the Apple Machine: Marketing. Yes, I said the most evil word in existence. Despite the fact that it would be in Apple's best interest in terms of competition to move the highest technology to all the prod…

Mac OS 9 will not be in the casket until Apple's EDU customers says they're happy with OS X. Bring out your dead!

Wait for January to see anything on this. Wait til March til you can get your hands on one, because even if they try to ship in January or February, Apple is going to seriously underestimate demand because the demand will be intense. Jaedreth

First of all, whoever complained about the purple in the pic, it is a purple light. The computer and display are the same color. Second, that mockup is totally unfeasable. A fixed base, of that thin a width? It could be knocked over too easily. Sure…

Apple since the return of the Steved One, has learned from the mistakes of earlier CEOS, especially in the area of overdiversification. If the rumor is true about iBooks going to G4, then they would be going to the G4 processors that the PowerBo…

The main reason for this use of a 64-bit bridge and 32-bit access to 64 bit archetecture by means of a 42 bit conversion is simple: Apple has a One OS strategy. A True 64 bit operating system cannot be run on a 32 bit machine. A True 32 bit opera…

How often does Apple introduce a new PowerBook? Not any portable. Not any product, but PowerBook specifically? Once a year. We've had ours this year, and the 15" was sod out... (I can say that here, can't I?) When will the next PowerBoo…
