  • Yep, a whopping .03 GHz jump (at the high end of their frequency scale, nontheless) and a bit of a wattage reduction. Oh can't forget that massive 33MHz bus speed bump. Woo-fucking-hoo! Bye bye Moto. If Apple does bump the PowerBook one more…

  • Quote: Originally posted by slughead I'm just wondering if anyone knows whether or not marklar will run on standard x86 PCs out of the box, or will it require a special???? mobo. It seems unlikely, but I don't see why they wouldn't (aside from…
  • Quote: Originally posted by rickag This is a toe to toe, nose to nose knock down battle between Apple and Microsoft. Apple won't be able to "niche player it" this time. The hardware will pretty much be the same, the OS's and software will decid…
  • I bet we see 970MP in a PowerMac before they switch them to Intel though. Steve did say they have some pretty impressive PowerPC stuff still to come. We know it ain't a damn PowerBook G5....
  • There will be no fucking sticker, or any mention of Intel anywhere on the case. I am sure Steve demanded that (or will demand, if things haven't been discussed that far down the road). As for the name, I think PowerMac and PowerBook seem to fi…
  • Let's not forget the people hard at work at Darwin as well. I have been using it for several years and it is very stable and robust for what it is applicable. Shantonu, Kevin, Felix, et al. you have been wonderful. Felix, are you still out there?…
  • ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? There was a lot left to be answered, and the 60 minute keynote didn't do much to give me a warm fucking fuzzy. Of course, I didn't actually see it, so I just am reacting to what is known or was told throu…

  • Quote: Originally posted by Aurora If Apple has OSX running on Pcs for 5 years then the clowns should market it. Didnt they learn a thing from Windows take over of the world without building hardware? Stop holding onto hardware so much and start …
  • Apparently, it means, let's ignore the Administrator note on posting multiple threads, and post, headlong, the 25th thread on this whole Intel / WWDC mess.
  • Quote: Originally posted by Jamil I think we are all scared because of the unknown. We will know more as the intel SDKs start to arrive on developers doors. Wonder if they will be resticted by NDAs to divulge any details of the OS performance…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Yevgeny Although faster, AMD's cpus are more expensive and AMD doesn't seem to have the volume that Intel has. Also I bet that Intel cut Apple a sweet deal for them to use Intel over AMD. It is all about price. Th…

  • Quote: Originally posted by mdriftmeyer Steve did the same reasoning for NeXTSTEP Intel 3.1 and beyond. Intel bragged about how serious they were to work with NeXT and summarily tanked the project as time when on which with lackluster hardware p…
  • I think Apple were testing laptops with 970?x processors but could not get them down to acceptable levels of battery life/heat dissipation. They probably just left them in there. There are mysterious entries in there all wrapped in encrypted goodn…

  • You all know, you can get a numeric keypad for any USB-enabled laptop right? Adesso makes one for 30 clams. So does Macsense for under $10.00! Why not just plug in one???
  • Christ, you look away for a day or so and all of a sudden a useless thread is hijacked into an architectural bitch-slap contest. Yikes! FWIW, Mr. Wright was astute at creating parallel movements in his architecture, and some of it is beautiful. …
