  • [quote]Originally posted by murk: Come on, people! We can't let the comments of an Apple executive break the tradition of AI hype and insanity before every expo. If we do that, Steve has truly won. Somebody better start pumping out the B.S. soon, a…
  • -New PowerBooks (Tokyo is historically the place for portable upgrades) -New iBooks (I don't consider a 14" screen a complete update) -Mac OS 10.2 - Signifies the completion of Apple's 12 hour clock transition that Jobs showed and MWNY. I'm b…
  • Let's clear up a few misconceptions here. It is possible for OS X, OS, programs, and all to be put on x86. However, I believe it would only be used as a last ditch effort if Motorola were no longer a viable option. I think Apple is going to be la…
  • This is a fake for two reasons: 1) For those of you who have DP machines, playing a QT movie doesn't chew up that much CPU time. The bars will stay low. And, unless Apple's redone their smp to allow someone to specify a certain task to a certai…

  • What about serial ATA?
  • Heh...Why do people have to ruin their 'confirmed' specs by saying that the G5's will sport USB 1.0 ports. Heh.
  • As I said, the sage person is just recycling widely discussed rumors while leaving them open enough to be mutated into something that will actually happen so Spymac can say they predicted something.
  • [quote]Originally posted by psantora: nah, SJ said its not slot-loading b/c of speed issues... or maybe that was in reference to putting the drives vertically... hmmm Vertical drives have speed issues. Also, in this case, where would the PC…
  • [quote]Originally posted by KidRed: It's not an Apple hotline server nor a secret, it's just a private server where I guess an Apple employee was at, according to the original poster. (private to protect the server admin from getting busted for…
  • Heh...the Spymac sage is nothing more than a cryptic recycling of well-known rumors. The thing is trying to be a Nostradamus of the Apple community, so, no matter what happens, Spymac can say their sage predicted it.
  • Yes, the bus is what is killing the performance now (aside from the ever growing difference in clock speeds.) I think a 266MHz FSB with DDR and faster I/O would do more justice to the CPU. The iMacs need to go to PC133 along with the iBooks. A 10…
  • [quote]Originally posted by lordsegan: I notice that all ZIF upgrades are currently stuck at 500mhz. Does anyone know why they arnt at least around the 700mhz range? How long do you think that the upgrade manufacturers can last? I think they will g…
  • Most of OS X's bootup time (the same goes for Windows 2000) is authenticating with the network. It will send pings out to the network to determine what's there, update ntp, etc, etc. I've also found out that OS X throws a fit when you put in IP ad…

  • The highest clock chip would most likely be single, judging from past experience. I would assume that the new low end model will be the 867MHz chip. Perhaps the 733MHz model would be kept at the educational store.
  • I think Apple will be seeing CPU updates more frequently now. They're playing catch up. A switch is not likely. It would require too much work. Apple would lose its key reason why it has its chip, Altivec. Also, developers would have to write m…
  • The thing you are neglecting is that most PC users need the extra PCI slots. They need one for a sound card and one for a network adapter. They'd also need one if they were going to have any firewire ports (barring them getting the Audigy which is…
