Quote: I'm in favor of Apple keeping two CPUs in their pro machines because if you're running any mission critical services and one CPU dies, the whole machine doesn't necessarily die. A little redundancy is good. I don't think Powermacs ar…

Quote: does anybody here believe that Apple would even look at a chip with RapidIO? Apple has invested alot of time and money into e-bus and hypertransport, I can't see this being thrown away for nothing. Since e600 implies a configurable proces…

Quote: Now next year, maybe just maybe, Freescale will have the alleged Rapid I/O interconnect e600/e700 core to go with the 0.09µm process, but will this be too late? Isn't the e600 supposed to be out by the end of the summer (or thereabouts)? …

Quote: But wouldn't IBM be losing money by selling 2 dual cores for the same price as 2 single cores? "How can we afford to sell two processors for the price of one? VOLUME, VOLUME, VOLUME."

Quote: Yes it's feed the GPU and others things, but for the moment a one ghz bus will be enough for this purpose. AGP 8 X only move 2 GB/sec. PCI express, will move twice in his first implementation, but Intel seems to face some problems with it : …

Quote: NOW WHAT IS IT? WON'T ANYONE TELL ME ? ? It looks a bit like a mixer for audio recording, but I'm not really sure-- I've never seen one that has a touch sensitive interface like that would have... On the other hand, I haven't seriously lo…

Quote: 80" OLED display Why on earth would you want such a beast? a 20" Cinema Display would be much better... at 600dpi.

Quote: 2. Increase the buffer to 64MB for better playback of audio books I don't think that's necessary... 32MB should be plenty, but I agree they definitely need to change the way they cache audio books... they skip way too much with even the s…

Quote: You're not touching a 15" LCD from a well known vendor for $200 for even analog. Apple wouldn't use analog so now you must price 15" DVI models and you're looking at about an average of $349 for companies like Viewsonic, Samsung and other Ti…

Quote: I just wish Apple would come to their senses and have a headless consumer desktop and an all-in-one. $ 999 15" 3:2 iMac LCD AIO 1.6GHz G5 $1499 17" 16:10 iMac LCD AIO 1.8GHz G5 $1999 20" 16:10 iMac LCD AIO 1.8GHz G5 $ 999 1.8 GHz G5 …

Quote: I don't think we'll see the iMac unveiled at Paris. Any particular reason why? I think it's perfect timing for an iMac that is to make it's debut in September, and it's the next opportunity for his Steveness to address a large gathering …

Quote: The option to buy a bare machine is buried because there isn't a lot of demand for them. Uh, I never denied that. I realize most people are going to want an entire system, but is that a reason to ignore everybody else? Besides, the opti…

Quote: That's not what I said. I said if you look at what they're offering, they're offering bundles. Of course it's possible to configure something else, but the last huge display in the nearby Staples was an entire PC system in a single (large) c…

Quote: Look at the low end offerings on any other major PC manufacturer: They're bundling monitors, not selling separately. Nonsense. It's still entirely possible to by a low end PC without a monitor, even from the likes of Dell, Gateway, &…

Quote: Maybe the nifty detachable swivel mounts on the new displays offer a clue? You mean the new iMacs are going to have 30" screens? . . .

Who says that a headless iMac would be so large as to have to sit under your desk? Jebus, folks, it's not like Macs can only come in two sizes-- current iMacs & Powermacs. How about something roughly the size of an old LC? Perhaps a bit bigge…

Quote: Would you today buy a 1.25-1.5Ghz G4 with 256-512MB, DVD-combo/super, wireless, and a neat connection system, for 799? No. Designing a new machine around the G4 would be foolhardy. 1.8GHz 970FX, yes; 1.5 or 1.6GHz e600 w/ RapidIO & …

Quote: [...] average PC user [...] most PC users [...] This is a red herring. Apple hasn't appealed to "average PC users" since before the IBM PC was introduced and they had a 70% share of the personal computer market. Macintosh buyers have …

Quote: It's just a cube, and I doubt Apple is ready to fail with another cube again. People asked for this smaller form factor once before. Apple gave them an awesome cube, but it cost them. I don't think they'll do it again for a while. If Appl…

Quote: The "PDA" like Palm is DEAD and buried since years. Anyone with just about any portable phone from the last couple years has the same basic functionalities as a PDA. ...except for a resonable text input method-- not to mention a resonably…
