    in What are the next big steps for Apple's hardware line-up? Comment by concord November 2004
  • I've heard a lot of good reviews on the Dell monitors as well - from a price/performance POV, they are definitely worth considering. Personally though, I'm still a big CRT fan. You still can't beat a good CRT for color fidelity, superior refresh…
    in PowerMac G5 & Apple Widescreen Comment by concord November 2004
  • While all the positive news about the iPod is all well and good, why can't we see a little more excitement on the PowerMac side of things! Let's see a little more innovation on Pro side of things Apple! Hell, as a graphics pro, that's about the o…

  • Well, I guess I'm overdue for a few new walls... Cheers! C.

  • Indeed. Even the 6800GT outpaces the XT in D3 in most cases. It'll be interesting to see how these two perform in a non-OpenGL game like Half-Life 2. Cheers, C.

    in $2600, Apple vs. Dell Comment by concord July 2004
  • Here's how I look at it... Whether you start off smart or not, a PC will force you to become smarter through trials of complexity and adversity. Y'know... "that which does not kill you" and all... The Mac on the other hand being so fri…
    in Are Mac users smarter than PC users? Comment by concord July 2004
  • On the Mac release of D3 from Todd Hollenshead... "Mac and Linux: Unfortunately I don't have dates for either of these. However, Linux binaries will be available very soon after the PC game hits store shelves. There are no plans for boxed Linux …
    in Doom III has gone Gold Comment by concord July 2004
  • I think hmurchison pretty much summed my feelings on this quarter as well. Still room for improvement though (PM sales fell short of expectations) but this quarter should have a decent shot in the arm with the new iMac coming out and the speedbumped…
    in Apple's 2nd Qtr. Results At The High End Of Expectations Comment by concord July 2004
  • I just wanted to touch on this a little bit too coming from a guy who works in both camps. Remember too that software investment, availability and familiarity are going to play rather large rolls in your purchasing decision. If you have thousands…
    in $2600, Apple vs. Dell Comment by concord July 2004
  • Don't forget that there are Pocket PC phones like the O2 which already can play MP3s, watch videos, etc. Price is the sticking point right now - wait a couple more years... I fully expect that the "convergence phones" will take over standalone MP…
    in What would Apple do if... Comment by concord July 2004
  • Quote: Originally posted by hmurchison: I'd expect the iMac at $1499 to have at least a 1.6Ghz G5. Preferrably 1.8Ghz. For consumers that would be competitive enough versus a P4 3ghz IMO. Y'know, from the reviews I've read you need at least a d…
    in New iMac's in Sept - **CONFIRMED** Comment by concord July 2004
  • hmurchison, I agree that people tend to make things out worse than they are but in this instance I think your comparison is a little unfair - the 8400 is a pretty high end machine to be comparing to an iMac. We're talking a 3 Ghz P4, PCI-E Graph…
