  • Quote: Thus you avoid having to get multiple different types of cards and can use the ones you have flexibly as the need determines. You can also easily do things like view and edit your images on your PDA, send images using your cellphone, and pla…
  • Quote: (although the horrible Fuji/Olympus xD cards - which won't ever be supported in PDAs/phones etc unless Fuji/Olympus do their own - are not so widely supported). I think there's a reason why they're called XD Picture cards. I've got an O…
  • Quote: Besides we don't need a USB hub in the monitor. The original idea was to save cabling when the computer was under the desk - and to reduce the wiring clutter which always surrounded the Cube. But Apple has just introduced a wireless keyboard…
  • Hey, look at that! With his third post to this thread, Existence is still ignoring the overwelming majority of arguments being made against his asinine position! Congratulations, your troll rating has just slid down a notch to one. Better watch o…

  • Quote: i dont care how "cool" an apple tablet would be there needs to be a compelling reason for apple to build one. How's this for compelling: Everything else on the market right now sucks. Quote: in case you havent noticed apple isnt into…
  • Quote: Handwriting recongition isnt there to make it more efficient than a keyboard. Spoken like someone who's never used a Newton. The MP2000 had a fast enough processor to make recognized handwriting a viable input method, and that was in *1…
  • Quote: The initial plan will involve Apple offering both existing RISC processor systems and an Intel based system with the RISC processor from IBM system being phased out as new software is developed. So let me get this straight-- the 970 is an…
  • Quote: why is it that mac users seem to be the only people who think that lower res is better? Uh, we're not, considering that Dell's Latitude laptops have optional screens with lower resolutions. Seems that enough people demand them from PC ma…
  • Quote: At that speed, according to Apple, a fan is not even needed. Correction: A fan is not needed, with the massive heat sinks of the desktop G5s. Think you could shoehorn a couple of pounds of aluminum and/or copper into a laptop and still …
  • Quote: Opt aud in/out is a pro function so it is more likley that it will remain on pro hardware. BS. $79 DVD players have optical digital outs, the iMac should too.
  • Quote: Soulcrusher sez: I was not wrong, they may still be released tomorrow. oops.
  • Don't worry about it, soulcrusher, after all, new PBs are going to be released tomorrow, right?
  • My, aren't we impatient
  • I think you've got to be carefull about what you ask for, because you just may get it. Really, TNG was great around seasons 3-6, but do you really want to see more crap like "transporter psychosis"? I think that's a problem with more than a fe…
  • People thought the Pentium, then the Pentium Pro would be the end of the line for x86, too. Those chips were what, three and four generations ago? Don't underestimate Intel's ability to squeeze even more blood out of the turnip that is x86...

  • Quote: The G4 speed bump has the advantage that it can be made with very small changes on the motherboard. ... Quote: I think this would be the easiest way to increase the iMac's value proposition for the next 6-12 months while it's stuck wi…
  • Quote: I hope not. Which would you rather have? A 1.3 GHz 7457 or a 1.3 GHz 970? The power consumption for a 1.3 GHz 970 would be 34 Watts given the 47 Watts at 1.8 GHz. Or maybe the better question should be which would you rather have a 1.3 GHz 7…
  • I recall hearing the 7457 consumes 10 watts at 1GHz, do we know what the power consumption is at 1.3GHz? I wonder if it's comparable to the 14 watts the 7455 gets at 1GHz... If it is, then I'd imagine we'll be seeing 1.3GHz iMacs sometime soon. Wo…
  • Quote: Gamblor, you assume that the EETimes article was wrong and that the IBM marketing docs were correct. I assume otherwise. THAT is as simple as it gets. Uh, no. I concluded that the eeTimes article was wrong, and provided the reasoning beh…
