  • Quote: No one can stand there and say that it's fair that in this day and age when dvds are starting to be on their way out that it makes sense that apple doesn't offer dvd burning across the board. Anyone that says this is fair is either lying or …

  • The integrated graphics in the MacBook are passable, but not terrific by any means. You should be able to run Google Earth without issue, and I'm sure that Quake 3 would run alright because it's a Universal Binary. Other older games that don't have …
  • Quote: No, what people want is a mid-range headless Mac that is reasonably well priced and can have the necessary parts upgraded. You already said that the G4 cube did not meet those requirements. You can't say that if a product fails because it do…
  • Quote: apple needs to have more choice like a mid-range head less mac and they need to stop force you to get bigger screen i-mac if you what a faster cpu , better video, or a bigger hd. People begged for a machine like this for a long time and A…
  • I'm trying to play devil's advocate here. Let's say that Apple's lineup did not include the lower end Mac Mini, the lower end iMac, and the lower end MacBook. That would mean that the cheapest Mac you could buy would be the $799, 1.83 GHz Intel C…
  • You guys are making a mountain out of a mole hill. Looking at Apple's lineup, the following computers don't have SuperDrives: Low End Mac Mini ($599) Low End iMac ($999) Low End MacBook ($1099) In each instance, you're talking about spending…
  • Quote: Good Morning America and Today are both in HD I didn't check Good Morning America but the Today show was not broadcast in HD today, at least in my area. Maybe the Boston NBC affiliate doesn't broadcast the HD feed? Good to hear that th…
  • Quote: They have taken over the living room Apple has definitely not 'taken over the living room'. Honestly, the Apple TV started shipping yesterday and it is very unproven. Very few people have HDTVs and fewer of them are going to be interested…
  • I own a HDTV because I won one a few years ago and my parents also have a HDTV because my Dad got it as a bonus from his work. I don't have a cable box but I'm able to get ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, NESN (which broadcasts Red Sox games), FSN (which broadca…
  • I doubt we will see this any time soon. First, you have to consider that Blu-Ray discs hold up to 50GB of data or 25GB per layer, while HD-DVDs can hold up to 30GB of data or 15GB per layer. These movies take up an incredible amount of disk spac…
  • To ban, or not to ban, that is the question....... Seriously though, please keep Future Hardware clear for speculation of future Apple stuff and not Apple ][s from 20+ years ago. While somewhat amusing, it does annoy people to click the link and…
  • Taking a look back, there's no wonder why the rumor mill isn't the same as it used to be. Heck, Apple's not what it used to be either. The Classic Mac OS is dead, no longer supported by any currently shipping Mac. There's no such thing as a Power Ma…
  • Quote: I think you went too far in the other direction -- why would Apple go from hovering around 160-200MHz between the mainstream and pro lines and suddenly jump to a massive 600MHz gap? With optical drives that cost several hundred dollars all b…
  • Still having this problem if anyone has any ideas.
  • I don't have time to make a full post now, but I can tell you that I don't expect Apple to ever include anything more than integrated graphics in the MacBook line. Also, I think your specs are very optomistic, for example: Quote: 15-inch: Superd…
