  • I'll have to agree with EmAn about mostly everything except Photoshop. Photoshop will be greatly benefited by a G4 over a G3, but perhaps hindered by the (relatively) low resolution of the LCD iMac. It depends on how seriously you're into that -- th…
  • I'm still not quite sure about the speakers. Most of the images on Apple's site show the eMac without any kind of speaker protection, but the image on the data sheet PDF shows that they have grilles. I'd assume that they're pretty durable speaker…
  • Usually there's a trace length reduction when chips are mounted diagonally, which can lead to greater performance, less power usage, etc. There's actually a
  • Is there room for another laptop line? We have iBooks for education and general tasks, and the PowerBook for the professional level (and whoever isn't really a pro but wants the higher end). What about a laptop designed to support just about anythin…

  • I wouldn't expect 2GHz Pentium 4's to remain the competition for long, either.
  • Perhaps, but brand name is paramount for some people (look at the Guillemot/Hercules thing). I can see Apple-designed PDAs with the Palm logo on them being somewhat successful, assuming they're not overly expensive. Even a modified BeIA would proba…
  • I wish I could get all the movies working, but by the thumbnail shots of them I noticed something interesting: the screen can be used either vertically or horizontally. Nifty.

  • [quote]Originally posted by EmAn: I wish they went by eastern time. I can't stay up much longer since I have to get up at 6. Damn Apple! Simple solution: don't sleep. Find something to do until 6. Make sure there's no blood in your caffiene stre…
