  • Macworld, soundproofing for the inside of every powermac. IMHO the quicksilver's noise is a big oversight. Perhaps Apple will listen to complaints and avoid overly ambitious speed increases to keep temps down. So um yeah, get an iAnythi…
  • I clean entire rooms before I dare to bring my iBook in them. Crumbs scare the **** out of me. Pres
  • I've got a 600 iBook with a Rage... so I'm in the same boat. Unfortunately, I think that the video subsystem is built into the mainboard of the apple portables. As far as I know anyways Pres
  • [quote] Anyone know of any others he had? I think I saw a Powermac 6100 in an episode today. Pres
  • Seinfeld had a Powerbook Duo and a Twentieth Anniversary Mac (very cool). Anyone know of any others he had? Pres
  • As I mentioned in another thread, I saw an iMac in a Rogers High Speed Internet ad where some stupid veterenarian was saying how she downloaded x-rays or something. Their DSL competitor featured Indigo G3 iMacs really prominently by doing a head-to…
  • why is it harder to swap a drive on the i than the Ti?
  • I'm a design major on a 12" iBook 600. I do have a PC desktop as well, but I would love an excuse to go full-time on the 'Book. Only thing that is a tad annoying is the 1024x768 res ceiling. Other than that it rocks.... Besides, the design …
  • The new iBooks address the only problem with the my 600mhz model, the video card. And a speedbump i suppose is due, so thus we have the Radeon 700mhz so shut up
  • My opinion on the subject is that there is no serious difference in the "power" between the consumer and pro models in terms of basic "creativity" work. Essentially, the pro line adds features like expandability, versatility, etc. Any, and I mean …
  • Yeah while the Xserve is 1.75" high, its also 19"x28" and weighs a whopping 28 pounds. Also say g'bye to the 5 hour battery. Still, an interesting idea. Would be neat if they somehow made two processors that shared some cache or something(?)
  • [quote] These "Protected" CD's should not bear the CD logo as the Copy Protection on the Discs is a violation of the Red Book standard. Look and you will see that this Logo does not exist on CP discs. This, I understand, but in my opinion, it'…
  • I like that response, FLOOR. I believe that many important rights are being violated by these measures, and the record industry needs to be more upfront with the fact that they are putting out discs that are dangerous to people's hardware. I am …
  • I think this is going to quickly become a very important issue as the portable music players become increasingly diverse. What these copy-protections do is limit our ability to play purchased music on our own, personalized hardware. Then, the reco…
  • They could call them Good, Better, and BLING rotfl to the jackass [quote] Color? Forget color! What Apple needs to do is come out with a machine with more up to date innards!! $1800 for a computer that runs on a 100mhz bus? Incase you…
    in New iMac Comment by preston May 2002
  • there are lots of posts about this. I also advocate this feature as something that would make me buy an iPod right away. The contenders Archos The Creative offering is the best because it is Firewire... dont know if it works with Macs thou…
  • eMachines: Apple:
  • i will hold off. I absolutely love using my iBook's LCD. Apple's are truly the best implimentations of LCD technology. The 17" studio displays are also a joy, as well as the iMac displays. If I only wanted 1024x768, then I would use my ibook. …
  • [quote] the eMac and Mac use the same amount of desk space, even though the iMac's LCD should have given it a CLEAR footprint advantage. eMac uses same desk space as G3 iMac, not G4 iMac stupid.
  • A good compromise would be to issue these features in little "backpacks" that you could clip onto the top of your 'pod that used the firewire port (what else is there?) But now this is sorta going into future hardware territory. Pres
