The current 12" MacBook at 0.917 kg weighs substantially less than 1 kilogram. The MacBook Air is friggin' heavy! Apple's official figure was 0.92 kg. So even if the new ARM MacBook weighs less than 1 kg, it might actually still weigh more tha…

Still yet another alternative is to not use Chrome.At least for this case. The Google Updater that comes with it, seems to me to be a pretty invasive piece of software. It "phones home" to some Google server every 10-15 minutes and is quite hard to…

Xed said: Apple has prepared for this for a long time—much longer than I would've preferred. Just like with the more recent moves from 32-bit to 64-bit or even the HIG for the iPhone aspect ratio and pixel density, if a developer isn't updating …

I think this would apply more to a Mac with two displays or a Mac with a single foldable display. Something like the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold or the Dell Ori Concept. Sure, lifting your hands to touch a vertical screen is too cumbersome, but if it's…

The real question is, how could this have gotten past Apple QC?if simple tests as the ones done by Lee, AI and others reveal a potential throttling issue where the i9 is unable to maintain the advertised base frequency, even ending up slower in some…

Sad about this recent Apple, Inc. They have so much money. Insane profit margins. They even sink millions into a poorly managed car division. And yet they cannot even maintain their Apple eco system? How so? Once users start to buy LG monittors…

One of the 12" MacBook innovations is that the speakers -are- the WiFi antennas. Maybe they managed the same with the phone's LTE antennas? That would be pretty smart. Having two speaker/antennas, one on each end. That would also explain why the …

If you want to wait the only date that might make sense is WWDC, last week of June. So that's 2 months from today. There's no point in waiting until September since as you said, you'd like to get used to your new Mac before the new semester star…

Wacoms come in sizes up to A3 (12" x 18"). Considering that the 23" Cinema Display is already one of the biggest displays out there, its resolution would seem to require at least a tablet half of the biggest Wacom size, which would be A4 (8" x 11.5…

mmmpie, great post! Good idea! And one puzzling question: how big would the tablet be? How big does it need to be, to be able to provide your envisioned functionality? A peripheral companion tablet would make most sense if your primary compu…

Quote: Originally posted by Programmer What roadmap? IBM and Apple have not issued a processor roadmap, all you are remembering is the speculation generated by MOSR and other rumour sites. Yes, of course it's all rumors since neither Apple no…

Programmer, If I remember the original roadmap for the G5 correctly then a Power5 derived desktop chip was always slated for around September 2004, which could very well be the 975 chip. And there were always rumors from the beginning, that Appl…

Yes, you're right I picked the Q1 2003 Xserve figure. My mistake. Sorry. But unfortunately Apple didn't give any Xserve figures in their Q1 2004 figures. They only gave totals, which was 829,000 Macs sold. And I don't even know whether the X…

According to this news report Apple shipped 6,000 Xserves in Q1 2004 and "very, very few" in Q2 2004. There really aren't many Xserves sold. Probably not even 10,000 in half a year! Let's do a thinking experiment: Even if all of their 190,00…

...back since 10.2, since 1 1/2 years. So where's the Tablet? The re-release of Ink (aka Rosetta on the Newton) is a bit of a conundrum, I have to admit. Why release it? For those few Wacom users? Not worth it IMHO. So why? And why 1 1/2 y…

As much as I would love a Tablet Mac (though I'm still not convinced it would be very useful after an initial 'wow' factor), I'm inclined to say you're jumping to conclusions here. Patent offices are notoriously slow in processing stuff. I can't…

Hey oldmacfan, just registered so you get at least one comment... (hopefully useful) If IBM really invested a lot of time and effort to fix the PPC970fx problem, do you think they'd throw this out the window and start producing the 975 instead?…
