  • Next time anyone posts these unsubstantiated threads please do us all a favor and add a question mark to the end of the thread title so that we can steer clear of it without feeling like we're missing out. Mmmkay? Like so: G5 Powerbooks to be re…

  • So Motorola stating that they were working on next-generations PowerPC-processors less than six months ago and of which we have seen no result yet, makes them vaporware? Gimme a break!

  • What Merovingian said plus the long overdue return of the Put Away-command. Thanks!
  • Quote: Originally posted by quagmire Have the e600 and the 7448 been announced? No. The only thing we know about the e600 is that it is on a roadmap. Which is exactly why they *aren't* vapourware. Quote: Originally posted by Rhumgod vap…

  • In order for something to be vaporware it has to take a long time getting released after it is announced, or never show up at all. Which we don't know for sure Freescale's 7448- and e600-processors will or won't. Ergo, they are not vaporware *yet*.
  • Note that I'm not claiming that Freescale *will* deliver never processors to Apple. What I'm saying is that neither Quagmire nor Rhumgod knows for sure they won't. So saying that Freescale is vaporware is speculation presented as fact.
  • Quote: Originally posted by Rhumgod Have they been announced? Are they shipping? No, thus vaporware So anything that *could* be in development but hasn't been announced and therefore isn't shipping is vaporware?
  • Quote: Originally posted by quagmire The 7448 and the e600 are both vaporware. You speak with certainty on a topic that I believe you know very little of. Either put up evidence to what you claim or have the decency to admit that your statemen…
  • Quote: Originally posted by kim kap sol Nothing could be bigger. Apple always uses an incremental build number right up to the last minute. This will definitely be renamed to at least 7.0. But to show how much has changed Apple should call it …
  • Quote: Originally posted by webmail It's still a stupid looking interface. Why not redesign the entire player. It's so '90s My guess is that the intent of this interface originally was that of branding. It had to stand out from the plethora o…
  • So if Apple has taken the time and effort to make such a significant overhaul to QuickTime/Player in Tiger, why is it still referring to it as 6.x? Are they are just hiding the fact that the rewritten QuickTime will debut as version 7.0 come Tig…
