i think one could get even more bang for the buck by simply including an OEM version of virtual PC with each powermac. that would run exe. files and also allow you to run the odd bit of windoze software. make it less featured and give people an attr…

the problem with those beautiful flatscreens is color reproduction. they're lovely to look at but CRT is still more accurate...especially for print. i work in video animation. our machines need to drive 2 monitors, one of which will be at least …

it never hurts to underestimate motorola, but i don't think your configs offer enough performance differentiation from the new imac...and i doubt apple would be stupid enough to release machines that make its pro line look feeble in comparison to th…

here's something else...innovation is as much perception as it is inspiration. innovation only "works" if everyone around you agrees your way is better. this is something apple has become very good at...taking an idea with "innovative potential" and…

well, i read a while back that apple is interested in LEP...light emitting plastics as a potential replacement for LED screens. LEP is cheap, bright and best of all...flexible. imagine a PDA with a large screen that can unroll or expand. that would …

here's something nice to think about.... the hurt, puzzled, dejected look on the face of your typical windoze user when he/she finds out ipod is macintosh only. what do you MEAN it isn't for windoze. EVERYTHING is supposed to work with windoze! …

the kind, rational, forgiving part of me wants apple to release ipod for windows to show the rest of the world how high quality hardware and software can work together in an elegant little package. the enlightened side of me hopes this leads wintel …

while we're at it...the little start up happy mac icon s a cute bit of retro holdover...but it's really looking a bit dated. at the risk of offending long-time users, i'd love to see something aqua-ish for OSX...like the water patterns you see durin…

if apple were going to pick a new geometric for their next wave of machines, i'd expect it would be a pyramid. the power of the pyramid has been keeping fruit from spoiling, razors from dulling and mummys from decomposing for thousands of years...no…

apple needs to be VERY VERY careful here. the powermac needs a brain transplant as well as a facelift, WITHOUT sacrificing one for the other. the el capitan casing made a great deal of sense. easy side panel access. handles. highly rugged casi…

one thing i loved about alias running on irix was the way it handled contextual menus. summoning the menu didn't simply give you a list of options...it gave you commands spread out in 360 degrees around a central radius point in the center of the sc…

there are all kinds of interesting options here...but only if apple can get control of powerPC and altivec technologies. 1) they could partner with IBM. IBM has SOI insulation technology that yeilds a nice 20-30% speed boost, plus they have a .13…

in terms of the basic design...i think a flat screen on a swing arm is absolutely the best ergonomic way to go. what remains are some nit-picky things: 1) i'd like to be able to see the power button 2) ports should be placed in view but not in…

yeah, but remember too that the new imac doesn't have a CRT..and that's a huge thermal savings...enough to crowd in a G4 and an upgraded graphics chipset.

1) TIME was NOT on our side! (doh!) 2) heard any good rumors lately? 3) welcome back my friends to the show that never ends...

just to keep things interesting...one word. gigawire. from patent info, it seems to be a telecommunication standard...not a hardware spec. could this be the missing piece of the tablet puzzle?

[quote]Originally posted by sizzle chest: Why would they omit the best part, for this FRONT FREAKIN' PAGE article in Time Magazine? How often does Apple get that kind of publicity? And they're going to just skip over an absolutely amazing, jaw-dr…

[quote]Originally posted by sizzle chest: If Time Magazine did a front-page story featuring the amazing design that is the new iMac, don't you think they MIGHT have mentioned if the screen could be detached and function as a remote tablet? Please,…

so then the real technological hurdle is basically sending data fast enough to redraw the screen remotely...how much bandwidth are we talking about here? if 11mbps airport is too slow, what about, er, gigawire? we know it's a telecommunications stan…

[quote]Originally posted by BuonRotto: It simply requires too much power for the monitor. It's DVI and need a cord. If this thing does have 2 monitor sizes, then we know what happened to the 17" iMac rumors of days past. But I doubt that. …
