however, for a corporate headquarters, compared to san francisco, new york, london, rome, paris, etc. cupertino has no taste! why the seemingly contrived loyalty to this backwater burb?

much agree with your observation that elgato makes good stuff -- i happily own the eyetv 500 and am surprised apple hasn't acquired them. it's unfortunate that the least cost HD-grade living room mac HTPC needs a dual G5, an elgato box, + som…

the mac mini, for 480p content, (from dvd, the ivideo store, or wherever) *already* serves as both the set top box and the airport AV express. it has the storage, the digital TV outputs, the QT decoders, the wireless. all it needs is a blueto…

Quote: Originally posted by ryanh I think something a lot of people are overlooking is that fact that whatever Apple has coming out, it has got to be big. Why? 1. The nano event was about a month ago and, for what I can surmise, the nano is …

sparing a full-quotation-reply-to-self, the easiest way for apple to satisfy all the constraints for: - apple video download store - ipod-as-video display/storage unit + remote_control - digital feed to (hd)tv is for any new…

the apple brand has given us high quality digital audio via the ipod. as for video, the ipod photo dock with S-video out has been a non-starter for those 2-8 megapixel digital photos everyone owns. for apple to debut MTV-like lowrez 480p vide…

for those who want specificity on apple/intel transition dates, see first paragraph of: http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2005/jun/06intel.html also, the terms of the apple/ibm "custom sales agreement" (i.e. contract, expiring october 27.…

factoids in determining mootness: - apple and microsoft cross-license each others patents. this can be verified by calling apple investor relations, who will recite material from previous 10Q and 10K reports. - u.s. is a first-to-inven…

from a marketing perspective, it might make more sense to turn it on for x86-only, both to make ye olde powerpc look bad, and to make up for inferior vector processing on intel. are most embarrassingly parallel ops in apple apps rewired for GPUs…

isn't the first "powerpc product" really the $999 3.6gHz mactel transition kit? in the keynote, jobs infers that the development hardware is just a board that fits inside the g5 chassis, using existing power and peripherals. no?

much better now.

when the metricom ricochet network was in fuller bloom, a similar capability was offered by the ricoh rdc-i700 camera with wireless modem. it was meant to be a boon for press photographers on the go:

thanx to the ghost of nikola tesla, gigawire should offer power transmission over the luminiferous 802.11b aether, as well.
