  • We should see G5 updates to 2.4 Ghz, perhaps as high as 2.6, but no 3.0 Ghz until at least December. Tiger will, of course, be in the spotlight for this conference. Even if it's just faster overall and improved networking I'll be happy. Although it …

  • Of those two I prefer the black key KB (slightly better tactile feel and a lilly *white* keyboard is just a bad idea) but I find that neither of them are anywhere near as good as the old beige Apple Pro keyboards (pre-USB). Remember them? Persona…

  • Again I feel I should caution people not to be too optimistic about the next G5 updates. Though I would love to be proven wrong I can't see Apple refreshing their line to more than 2.4 Ghz. Strictly from a business perspective it makes more sense to…

  • My first car was this decrepid old orange Beemer which burned about as much oil as gas. I think I owned it for all of two months before I sold it for a '87 Burgandy Scirocco. To be honest I think I had my pilot's licence before I actually owned my f…

  • I caught bits of the Calgary game and most of the third period on... Some dynamite goaltending on Calgary's end of the rink - they'd have gone down for sure if it wasn't for Kippy. I think he took something like 50 shots that game. It was some ridic…

  • As a cross-platform user I want Adobe and Macromedia in Apple's hands as much as I want them in Microsoft's. That is, to say the least, not a lot. Leave 'em be!!! I think it's better for everyone in the long run that they are left alone - …
    in Future Apple third party acquisitions (Adobe, Lightwave) Comment by concord May 2004
  • I also believe WWDC will be geared more towards showcasing Tiger. The only thing I'm fairly sure we'll see is updated PowerMac G5s (~2.5 Ghz). The iMac is due for an update but whether it will show up at the WWDC is anyone's guess. I'm hoping before…

  • Kickaha, again you're arguing outside the context of this discussion. Although I haven't been able to find the SA article on the net, I have found some that reference it and I don't see where it has any bearing on *this* discussion. To put it in…
