  • Just going off on a "neat idea" tangent for Apple, audio language translation I can see being quite useful - especially for travellers. We already have voice recognition and language translation software - just take it one step further and have …
    in What will Apple come up with next??? Comment by concord May 2004
  • I think Apple needs to be more forward thinking than the suggestions I'm seeing here. Color iPod? Meet the Convergence Phone which does *everything* under the sun (Windows PDA which can take pictures, video, play games, play MP3s/WMA, Bluetooth, …

    in G5 Trinity @ WWDC Comment by concord May 2004
  • Go into International settings and see if you have more than one language checkmarked for your keyboard. You probably have something like Canadian and US english seleced and it's conflicting. Cheers, C.

  • *sigh* Sounds way too good... ...to be true. Codename Trinity? - been done. FireGL video cards? - unlikely, it'd push the price into the stratosphere. I'm hoping though that they *do* come out with a tower with an extra bay for remo…

    in Latest Mac games...? Comment by concord May 2004
  • IMO, (on the opic of G5s) it was foolish of Steve to make such claims in the first place. Heh, it's not as though he has any influence over fab yields. Everyone has been running into increasing problems as the processes get smaller and smaller. He j…

  • The most important quality - pure, unadulterated power. Getting it to behave the way you like comes a close second... C.

  • Quote: I'll be interested in seeing just how this works out. I'm hoping for the best. Some well heeled gamers will love it. Though really, my thoughts in posting this was more along the lines of, "Is this a direction Apple should consider adopti…

  • Not as yet. However, I think the most logical time to announce it would be with the PowerMac refresh at the WWDC. C.

  • Here is an interview with Alienware which has more details on this new system. It's water cooled, has a 700+ watt PSU and is dual processor t'boot. Cha-ching $$$$! C.
    in The Return of SLI ! Comment by concord May 2004
  • My advice would be to wait for the X800 Pro which should come in at around the price you're looking for. This next generation of video cards from Nvidia and ATI is a huge leap in performance over the current crop. Can't help with the ADC though, sor…

  • There's one other thing that annoys me to no end and again it has to do with servers. Even if I have the Finder set to default view as list, opening servers will come up in icon view. And because our company is very server oriented you often have to…

  • On the subject of copying files... my biggest gripe is when copying files to certain servers at work. You get a dialog saying a file is happily copying over to the server - but it doesn't. It appears on the server for a tenth of second, then vanishe…
