  • I do not think that you will download the movie, rather you will stream the movie over the internet. When you look closely at the new cell processor, take note of the hardware dedicated to DRM. It's not there by accident. This service would compe…
  • Quote: Originally posted by onlooker Regardless, of the opinion on how cheap projectors can be comprised of fairly standard parts I still think existing projector companies would have no problem making higher quality, and underpricing Apple whil…
  • It'll be interesting to see whether Apple uses the new dual-core G5s (PPC 970MP) in iMacs or saves them for Powermacs only. I'd guess Powermacs only but you never know. The single-core PPC 970GX would probably go into the updated iMacs.
  • Quote: Originally posted by onlooker I think nobody asks that question because it draws from no evidence, and is only speculation at best. Also Apple couldn't hide something like that from the beginning. There is no way. To many non apple trusted…
  • I don't know why people are not asking the obvious question... has Apple been part of cell development team from the very beginning? We all know that Apple does not want to let others know what they are doing so they would not have participated in t…
  • A 40"+ monitor at "surprisingly low price"? It would not be for graphic artists. It would be a 40"+ HDTV. Remember the rumors of an Apple projector and then Steve's comment "and you can wonder why" when he talked about the HD projection system at th…

  • From a recent posting on The Register "Faultline has speculated for the past two years about whether or not the Cell could ever be big enough for servers and at the same time small enough for mobile phones. IBM?s patent says that not only that th…
  • Quote: Originally posted by ipodandimac 1st of all, apple's laptop numbers are pretty good. Actually Powerbook sales are down 29% year-to-year at a time when Apple's sales are expanding. Unless I am mistaken, Steve Jobs created the Powerbo…
  • Home theater on a mini? "While H.264 is a computationally advanced codec, it runs on today?s shipping computers with no additional hardware required. For example, a full HD movie (1920x1080, 8 Mbps, 24 fps) encoded with H.264 plays back beautiful…
  • Anyone hear anything recent about dual core 970MPs? Supposedly they were sampling in the fall and could be in production as we speak. Or so we hope!
  • They did lower the price on keyboards and mice the week before MacWorld. That was a solid indicator that the headless Mac rumor was true.
  • Yes, I was very surpised that they did not announce a low-cost 17" monitor to go with the Mac Mini. Maybe it's in the pipeline.
  • Apple is very focused on doing certain things extremely well and digital media (e.g., music, video and photography) are their areas of focus. With Quicktime 7 and 802.11n, Apple will have the tools to go after the living room and mobile video. Long …
  • Consider the choice: 1. Power Mac G5, single 1.8 GHz G5, 80 GB SATA, Superdrive, GeForce FX 5200 Ultra for $1,499. 2. iMac G5, single 1.8 Ghz G5, 80 GB SATA, Superdrive, GeForce FX 5200 Ultra for $1,499. Oh yeah, includes a 17" monitor. I r…
