oh well...so much for my burst of momentary excitement...i wouldn't have gotten so excited if there wasn't such an incredible lack of sound mac intel lately. who would know it's only 2 weeks till macworld? dammit.

we have the Xserve and the Xraid already. i wouldn't be surprised to see apple introduce a new product tier, the Xmac...a scalable multi-core workstation based around the 970 which will seamlessly integrate with other members of the X family to crea…

phil shiller will come out onstage at macworld dressed as a giant microchip with a large "g4" on the front. steve will direct phil to stand in a particularly well-lit spot on the stage as he waxes poetic for a minute or two about how great the g4 wa…

yeah, it's great...until you realize that the box is loaded with DRM software that makes it impossible to take recorded tv programs and move them off the computer. yeah, it's integrated...but it's hobbled, and who wants that?

when you look at where apple is right now, there are lots of things which either have been or are slated to be in the pipeline. there's faster 800mbit/sec firewire, faster airport, a new pioneer 4x superdrive, the persistent rumors of an updated pow…

here's my 2 cents rendezvous + imovie + itunes + iphoto = tivo-esque device that allows movies, images and audio to be wirelessly shared with your television and home stereo system. play itunes Mp3's through your stereo. play itunes visuals an…

something else to consider....the price of a mac has everything to do with unit cost and margin. margin will have to remain more or less stable for now, because apple makes the bulk of its money on hardware. where there is realy room for improvement…

here's a few more things you could do with a apple PVR: 1) use HD space as a vault for your mp3 collection. play out through your stereo system. use airport to wirelessly sync your mac to your vault (like the ipod) 2) pump itunes visuals t…

i'd love to believe the G5 is right around the corner, but unfortunately i don't think we're gonna see it anytime soon. instead, i think we'll see optimizations to the MOBO along with a wider system bus, DDR, ATA133 and a modest speed increase. …

i have nothing but respect for AMD and their accomplishments, but i wonder if such an alliance were forged, what could they really bring to the table besides the physical ability to fab the chip? RISC and CISC architectures are so very different tha…

one positive thing this week...the 1394 trade association decided to formally adopt the name "firewire". this means that there is one unified name now, not i-link, not 1394, but firewire. it's about time and i think it will really help solve much of…

why would apple want the palmOS? for one reason only...the number of palm apps. why use graffiti when the newton's handwriting recognition is far superior? why be hobbled by palmOS 4.0's lackluster multimedia support when multimedia is where apple n…

i doubt things will change much in the next year. the only change i can reasonably expect is the preloading of 10.2 for MWNY and perhaps a slight speed bump by the end of the year. of course, i'd love to be proven wrong...

check macnn's OSX general forum. there's a thread about this. apparently, geforce4 documentation states that it accelerates aqua.
