Interesting idea. But Apple won't. For the same reasons they didn't buy Alias (makers of Maya) when they had a chance. There are many assets inside Nvidia that Apple definitely will want. But there are also a lot of assets Apple won't want. …

- Not to forget that fabled 14" or 15" OLED display which IMHO might still show up in a high-end MacBook Air variant. - And I would like to see a BluRay drive option in conjunction with Pro app updates (so you can actually write a BluRay you author…

Wow. That's 1 1/2 months in advance! It's not even May yet... Shouldn't they just get a bigger venue?!? Seems like Apple is missing out on a lot of developers interested in the platform which now will not be able to attend. A lost business …

Could we have our cake and eat it? I like the idea of a clam-shell device with a double sided screen. But as has been pointed out this typically amounts to two screens, one mounted on the inside and one on the outside = expensive. But I remem…

The cube's main attraction to Steve - apart from its shape - was that it operated fan-less. It was all convection cooled, a really nifty feature. With today's quite hot CPUs, I think it woud be impossible to just have convection cooling. You'd …
