I don't think Apple's software is great right now either. MacOS X is probably the most RAM hungry operating system on the planet. Most people recommend a system with at least 384-512MB RAM for general uses such as checking email and internet browsin…

Well, he didn't get memorized by Apple's RDF and is going to purchase a 1.7GHz Pentium 4, a PC faster than the fastest PowerMac.

There's no convincing them. How can one convince somone who is concerned about performance to buy a Mac, even if it is Photoshop. We all know Apple makes subpar hardware that is overpriced. Dual Athlon, and Pentium 4's are cheaper and murder the dua…

Steve Jobs is lieing about Apple's market share being at 5%. It is not. Worldwide, it is around 2.7% and in the US, it is less than 3.5%. And he failed to mention that Apple's market share is falling, and has been falling for the past three yea…

Theoritical maximum throughput comparison. New P4 533MHz bus - 533.333 million cycles per sec * 16 bits per cycle / 8 bits per byte = 1066.67MB/sec Current G4 bus - 133.333 million cycles per sec * 64 bits per cycle / 8 bits per byte = 1066.6…

I think the new(relatively old) iBooks fit well for the circa-5lbs market. They should make another Wallstreet with the PowerBooks. Here's what I propose: 1.400GHz G4 w/512KB L2 cache (PPC7460) 133MHz bus 512MB RAM 60GB 5400 IBM Travelstar…

Before one disparages Alienware for using a desktop processor in a laptop, consider the revision A Wallstreet PowerBooks Apple introduced in May of 1998. The Wallstreet series portables were the largest laptops Apple ever released. They weighed in a…
