TO MY EVERLASTING SHAME, i went to compUSA last night and bought a logitech optical 2 button mouse w/scrollwheel. it's the first time in my lengthy mac history that i haven't used an apple mouse.after 24 hours of driving this thing around, i've come…

fear of spontaneous combustion??

there was a rumor (i think on the register) recently about SGI's interest in the G5 as a MIPS replacement. according to the article, development costs for MIPS was killing SGI...and i suppose that makes sense. wouldn't it be interesting to see …

i would think MW tokyo would be the perfect time, not for the introduction of a new powermac, but for the introduction of a new consumer electronics product. given the japanese love of portable new technology, i could see something interesting being…

zooming out for a second, it seems highly unlikely that apple would feel confident in motorola's ability to continue development of the PPC. remember when the 867's came out? much of the work was done by apple in-house because even then motorola sim…

a while ago, i emailed the head of dauger research, the guy who wrote pooch. i was interested in a G4 cluster running after effects. he said he was trying to get adobe and discreet interested in providing clustering support. imagine idle macs from t…

right now i'd say it's a very dangerous proposition. you don't want to introduce anything that would cannibalize imac sales which are already busy cannibalizing low-end powermac sales. there really isn't enough gap between the performance of the hig…

one thing to consider too...apple may be waiting for motorola to really start hurting before they try to be PPC assets. would you rather buy when a company is doing well or when they're bleeding out the ears?

steve said it best...apple competes through innovation. dell competes by being wal-mart. dell may have marketshare, but they'll never have style. as long as mike is CEO, they'll never have class either.

i think everyone has to keep the big picture in mind. apple has known for a long time that there is a performance gap, and they've been working for the last year or two to correct it. we hope/assume/believe that the G5 is that correction. until it's…

i wasn't suggesting a "snap on" camera for the ipod..i was suggesting using the ipod hardware as the basis for a digital camera. same hardware, different purpose.

further doubt cast...that doesn't look like a quicksilver case...it that a CDROM eject button i see on the face???

so perhaps the 15'' goes to imacland, the 17'' drops to the old 15'' pricepoint, a new 19'' slides in and the price of the studio drops just a tad bit more. that would make a nice announcement for seybold or tokyo 17, 19, 22 would be a nice lineu…

one potential positive side-effect to motorola's recent problems...if they can't produce apollo in mass, it may give apple the leverage to push for motorola to sell altivec and let IBM start fabrication. i have no idea how long it would take to sta…

imagine a quicktime camera / ipod hybrid.... you take digital pictures which are stored on the units internal 5 gig hard drive. to review your images, use the ipod's thumb wheel and simply scroll through them on a color LCD screen complete with…
