How does Photoshop fit into the Resolution Independence puzzle? Assuming most Mac Pro users have a need to use Photoshop one way or another this should be an important question. Does Photoshop make sense with Resolution Independence? Is Photosh…

Well, what you need is a super-capacity iPod with wireless syncing. If the iPod instead of 160GB had 1TB of storage and wireless syncing capability then you had your product! You could sync every song in lossless quality and hook it up to your…

I was hoping the MacBook Air would be smaller. Am currently using a 12" PowerBook and apart from thickness the MacBook Air is whoppingly bigger! Almost 1 1/2 inches wider and even a bit deeper. So what's the big deal about the MacBook Air? A…

How long until the Wireless Disk feature becomes available for AppleTV so I can actually watch my DVDs wirelessly via AppleTV? That would be such a great feature: not only can you rent new movies, but you can also watch any DVD you already own or…

Typical Apple Pro laptop upgrade months are September - November (smaller updates) and April - June (bigger updates). Although there have been January releases too. http://www.macrumors.com/buyersguide/#MacBook_Pro The estimated guess would be …

In principle I fully agree with the notion that physical media is on its way out. But it won't be as soon as people think it's going to happen. The technology is here. But it is still way to expensive and cumbersome to use in comparison. Stora…

720p is the 'poor man's HD' and no one really wants it. That's a lame duck. Not much of a selling point. Yet 1080p is too much data to squeeze through most people's Internet connection. Unless Apple comes up with a new H264 codec which squeeze…

I really think AppleTV needs a built-in DVD player. Ideally an HD or Bluray combo but mostly a plain old DVD. For the simple reason of backwards compatibility. Many have a huge DVD collection, how are they viewed? Yet another box. It would be…

This is not crazy, this is desperate! Sony is in pretty bad shape financially, posting zero earnings or even losses for too many seasons in a row, with no change in sight. They're not going bust just yet, but the immediate outlook is not good. …

The point was if the ultra-portable has Bluetooth it will have Wifi too. So an iPhone would not be needed for Wifi connections. At that point the only use for an iPhone would be to provide 3G connectivity via Bluetooth. The original poster sugg…

It's an interesting idea, but not sure economics work. How would the ultra-portable talk to the iPhone? USB cable? Surely not. It'll use Bluetooth at least. Yet nowadays Bluetooth and Wifi are both provided by the very same chip, so with one …
