Quote: To put it plainly Apples whole desktop line up is hosed. This is a extremely bad example of management and if it goes on to long I would imagine the board would want to know what the hell is up. Let's face it they can't even meet i…

The discussion of Blu-Ray after all of this time is amusing. I remember similar discussions when the Mac Pro was first introduced in 2006 when Blu Ray players were first showing up. Apple has held off this long, don't be surprised when you see the…

Very sad news.

I think you can put the final nail in the coffin for Blu-Ray drives in Macs after that media event speech. Not only did they not mention any type of physical media format like Blu-Ray, they went so far as to remove the CD/DVD from the iTunes 10 logo…

The original point I was responding to was that customers are buying less and less physical media, and I believe it is because the cost of the media is so high. I remember how my folks balked at DVDs initially because of the cost over VHS tapes of t…

Quote: A couple of small points, if the price is prohibitive to you, why don't you purchase the items when they are on special, they are priced at under $24.99 quite often. Yes, when new release movies are on *sale* they can be around $25 a pop.…

Quote: Further you really can't compare current hardware with future non shipping hardware. The is the Future Hardware forum on AppleInsider, that's what we do here!

Quote: I guarantee you it won't have anything to do with physical media. That's my guess as well, and I'm guessing it will justify Apple's position on Blu Ray (aka, supporting Blu Ray would cost them content on iTunes, etc).

If this goes on much longer, we're all going to need a "I survived the HD format wars and all I got were these lousy coasters" T-shirt. Owning gaming consoles meant that I was invested in Blu Ray just because I purchased a PS3 and it didn't take muc…

Quote: Big gains in the integrated graphics, though that is one area I honestly don't care about. It may not be something that people in the market for a Pro machine care about but this is something that is going to be huge when the technology '…

I just got back from buying my iPhone and here was my experience. I started out at a local AT&T store in Nashua around 6 AM. They were claiming they had 250 iPhones in stock. When the doors opened at 8 AM, they revealed they had 25. Being fur…

I haven't had a cell phone in years but I'm finally biting the bullet tomorrow and getting an iPhone. I got pre-approved after doing a credit check at an AT&T store and I'm very excited about having a phone that is a handheld computer. Final…

I just bought a Mac Pro myself and I ordered some RAM from transintl.com. They had a sale this past weekend where I got a 4 GB kit (2x 2GB) for my Mac Pro for $328. I've heard good things about them but I don't have the RAM yet, I should get it some…

The problem is, I'm already using someone else's computer to post this. My PowerBook couldn't hold out another 3 days, never mind another 3 weeks.

I've been in the market for a new Mac and wanted to try out a Mac Pro as well as compare the 15" and 17" MacBook Pros. If I get a MacBook Pro, I'll wait for the next revision but I wanted to see how much bulkier the 17" was on the current model to g…

Check Apple.com guys. The store may still be down but the MacBook updates are true. Continue the discussion in Current Hardware.
