  • Quote: Originally posted by Barto That's correct, and also COMPLETELY irrelevent to Apple's various G4 architectures. Believe me, that's totally obvious reading your post No CPU other than those with onboard memory controllers (eg POWE…
  • It is pretty neat to see retailers discounting Apple products like they do every other device. For the longest time, Apples prices have always been list at retailers. It must mean that Apple is giving retailers more margin to play with. In any ca…
  • It's always been my opinion that iChat AV for Windows will be next and it will be tightly integrated with iSight. In addition, I hope Apple will release an iChat AV Enterprise edition, hosted on OS X Server for Intranet/Extranet corporate conferenc…
  • Quote: Originally posted by whoami i guess new displays at macworld are a shoe-in now! if they would only have component inputs on them i'd be so happy! my new place is too small for a computer and tv setup... i'd like to kill 2 birds on my ne…
  • Quote: Originally posted by wizard69 I really like a new case idea. I think this would be a very good complement to the G5. Something literaly toaster size would be very nice. The only thing I'd be concerned about is that Apple seems to un …
  • Quote: Originally posted by Mr. Bob As most know Apple likes to shock the loyal following and jump start sales. I look for a 19"/20" Powerbook for the professional/video market with duel 7457 processors at 1.4 GHz announced at San Francisco. 8…
  • Quote: Originally posted by spaz interesting idea, but i'm pretty sure that the iMac displays ARE just the cinema displays, stuck on a pole. i think any new display models will definitley be based on the G5, brushed aluminum look. Apple's co…
  • GM could always put an iPod connector in their Cars, other companies are starting to do this.
  • Quote: Originally posted by FormatC2 So you want a tower? The entry level PowerMac is $1,799. Buy it and shut up already. The entry level PowerMac is 1299 and it is a G4 like your eMac. It is more powerful for a number of reasons than the…
  • Apple still has a lower tier PowerMac in the line-up if you want a headless Mac, it's the PowerMac G4. The G4 has been lost in the attention we are giving to the G5 but it is still in the lineup and you can even upgrade it to a dual. Since more th…
  • Dual core G4 doesn't make any sense, since a single G5 would be easier to put into a PB even at 130NM, but we do expect the 90NM sometime in 2004. When, well who knows? Apple isn't saying till the day they release it. A single G5 has a higher …
  • Quote: Originally posted by gar third: why do you think that the last mac apple ever introduced with a tv tuner kind of thing dates back to 1997? (pm 5500) they easily could have add it to the imac. (nice big 20" screen to watch tv on, funny li…
  • XM and Sirius has already standardized around the mPeg4 standard and AAC.
  • Quote: Originally posted by Agent Macintosh Wouldn't a putting a G5 into a eMac be very easy? I mean, the current eMac is huge! It will probably be the last to go to the G5, 15 & 17" Powerbooks and 17 and 20" iMacs first. By then the 15"…
  • I think the 20th anniversary of the Mac will be punctuated by new advanced Software and not a new Mac. What will drive the Mac is killer software now that the OS is so mature and the hardware is on fire ( 970's and all.)
  • I don't think cell means cluster. I believe it is referring to a non-von Neuman architecture processor where Software is compiled into "circuits" that allows for significantly greater parallelism than current instruction level parallelism allows. …
  • A video Pod will put the iPod pricing near the iBook, for what? So you can view a DVD while walking? If you want to view a movie, it is usually on a long trip or flight. So a notebook is still a better deal. However the iPod can still be used to…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Amorph Very few. It dropped in price rather quickly, although even at $3500 there weren't all that many takers. I don't think Steve is much for anniversaries, but if he does release a 20th anniversary Mac he'll h…
  • I can see a 12 and 15" with drawer like lcd screens that slide out of the left and right sides, these side panels would butterfly out and would be a perfect fit for the Dock and the buddy lists as well as some other Panel type sidebar displays. The…
  • Quote: Originally posted by wizard69 The only issue I have is that the problem with the 1.6 and 1.8 GHz machines is that they were grossly over priced to begin with. I do not believe the reconfiguration has anything to do with the production ou…
