Quote: Originally posted by MacCrazy yeah that's what i've found. Even if disk use is enabled you should get an orange light glowing continuously. That's how it should work, however it currently isn't working in this manner for some (all?) W…

Judging by the posts on the Apple support forums specific to the iPod Shuffle, I'm not the only one that has encountered difficulties with charging the Shuffle on a Windows 2000 system. It seems that the current workaround for this issue is to enabl…

This is yet another example of the inability of the various record labels to adapt. Two approaches to this - you think short-term or you think strategically with a long-term timeframe in mind. Using the former brand of thinking, a record label lo…

512MB RAM is a no-brainer with the next iMac update, I'm quite sure that all Mac models will migrate to this as a base config within 2005.

The new iPod Mini models make my forthcoming iPod purchase a bit more interesting. 512MB Shuffles are at the tip of becoming available, but the new price on the 4GB Mini model is pretty darn sweet (educational is $225 CND). $90 more to go from 51…

I agree with the statement made by others that OS X on x86 is unlikely, particularly due to the complexity involved with supporting such an enormous hardware base. That said, if Apple were to pursue licensing of OS X, I think it would be more of a h…

Quote: Originally posted by sorhed The point is, Apple cannot re-enter the 17" market and hope to compete - nor would I want to sell a higher priced Apple display to my Mac Mini customers, which would garner me less profit anyways. Wrong,…

Quote: Originally posted by MCQ There's just no compelling reason IMO, business-wise for Apple to compete in that market segment. The same could easily be said of the segment that the iPod Shuffle is targeted at. If the margins are there, App…

I wouldn't expect major things in April, particularly since Apple needs differentiate the iBooks from the Powerbooks. Additionally, the most recent quarterly conference call showed good sales figures for the iBook, why redo something right now that…

Quote: Originally posted by Neruda I second that. I was looking at my friend's laptop in class the other day. The bottom plastic on the base is a different color than the top part and I asked him, "Why do you have it hooked up to a dock?" He sai…

I think that Apple is quite likely to adopt PCI-Express with the next generation of Powermacs for a variety of reasons. One important factor is that the PC industry is moving to PCI-E, which means that ATI and Nvidia are designing their new GPUs for…

Quote: Originally posted by Adam_89 i think i've established that a mac would be for me, but i cannot decide which to get. i like the imac because of the widescreen display, the g5 processor, and the "all in one" appeal of it, but it doesnt have …

Quote: Originally posted by steve666 The purpose of the Mac mini was to get Windows users to buy a Mac. Here's a few problems with this design: 1. No keyboard and mouse? Just bizarre. People want to open the box and use it, now they have to …

I think that this is a very, very good move by Apple. Get set to watch their marketshare make significant gains now that they have a truly affordable entry level PC. This puppy is $629CND ($600 with educational discount)!!! Perfect for a web surfing…

One notable item is that the 20" Aluminum display was previously listed at roughly $1700 CND, and is now $1250 CND. Far, far more reasonable price in my opinion. The iBooks dropped about $50 CND, 12" Powerbook dropped $150 or so. Interesting to note…

Quote: Originally posted by sarkazma ok, thanks a lot for the replys guys. It's just that, I'm deffinately going to get an apple laptop soon, and it will be my first apple product ever, so I'm really excited. But, I heard that the current ibook d…

Quote: Originally posted by Amorph You know, flash memory prices have been continuing to drop for years. The problem is that hard drive prices have been dropping at least as fast, and the tricks that the drive makers are using to make smaller and…

I'm suprised that nobody has considered the possibility that Apple will eventually replace nearly every single HD-based model with a flash-based model. Flash memory prices are continuing to drop, making larger capacity flash-based devices more ec…
