It's annoying to me that the American auto makers are still giving out massive paychecks to their CEOs when they just went to Congress two years ago asking for federal aid. It's amazing that Ford and GM could be run so poorly. Personally, I've ne…

There were some news stories posted about Apple 'quietly' introducing the new 8 core Mac Pro. But I wouldn't be too hard on the Mac news sites, Apple didn't even put out a press release about it! http://www.apple.com/pr/ I'm hoping to see some go…

While Dell, HP/Compaq, etc. have to pay for licensed copies of Windows from Microsoft, Apple could technically say that the cost of Mac OS X on new machines is $0 since it is their OS. So no, I don't think Apple is going to be forced to 'refund'…

onlooker, we saw the Mac Pro 'speed bump' today, even if it was only the addition of the top end 8 core Mac Pro. Like I said in my post, it's not out of the question that Apple will add graphics card options to the Mac Pros but if they had something…

I think people are in denial about new Mac Pros coming out at NAB. Apple just released their most expensive Mac since Steve Jobs came back to Apple in February of 1997 (just after Apple released the $4700 Power Macintosh 9600) and if there was more …

With CompUSA closing over half of their retail stores, it's not that surprising to see Apple trying to work something out with Best Buy yet again. The problem I have with Best Buy selling Macs dates back to when they started selling Bondi Blue iMacs…

I wasn't talking about the current processors being any cheaper, more that the options should be cheaper by now. The only thing that Apple did, as far as I can tell, was add the quad core 3.0 GHz dual processor option. The prices on RAM, Hard Drives…

Now that the 'new' Mac Pro is out, we should discuss this in Current Hardware instead of Future Hardware, especially since people will probably want to start talking about the *next* Mac Pro upgrade right away.

You are correct! New Mac Pros are out. Edit: There's only one new Mac Pro configuration with the quad core 3.0 GHz processor and it's expensive. As much as I'd love to have one of these Macs, just adding an ATi Radeon X1900 XT 512 MB graphics car…

Maybe it will be possible to get your wireless carrier to forward your calls to the iPhone?

If I remember correctly, the MacBook Pros have 1 FireWire 400 port and 1 FireWire 800 port.

I think it's much more likely that they are talking about the existing Mac Pros (and other Intel Macs) since they were still selling the Power Mac G5 at last year's NAB. It doesn't mean that there won't be any new hardware at NAB but this email isn'…

I hurt my back a few years ago while moving some 27" CRTs up 3 flights of stairs at my old job. The next day I woke up and could barely move without significant pain. I made an appointment with a chiropractor in town and had to do what SDW described…

Typically, we see at least one Mac line updated at MWSF in January, and this year, we saw no updates on the Macs at all, not even a preview of Mac OS X 10.5. That's why nearly all of the Mac models are ready for at least a speed bump. Mac OS X 10.5 …

Quote: There is a huge market for a midrange Mac like the Cube but the product still has to meet their demands. The 'demands' of the market back then were to cut the Cube's prices by $500-1000. Apple didn't and people ended up buying the low end…

For the record, I'm not trying to defend everything Apple does or doesn't do. Like I said earlier in the thread, I'm playing Devil's Advocate. It makes things more interesting. Quote: DVDs will dye faster IMO. When DVDs first came into the mar…
