Slightly off-topic, but can you hook a hard drive up to an airport base station and have it available to computers on the network? In other words, could you just tuck a hard drive away in the closet, but still have your MacBook hooked up to a TimeMa…

The whole idea that finding a song is hard on a small player is a no go. Is it currently that hard to find a song on your iPod through the Browse feature? No, it's pretty darn easy. As long as the store allows you to scan through any number of layer…

If this phone is done well, and doesn't cost a fortune, I'm all for it. I don't want a super-duper-does-everything smartphone, just a plain old regular phone and iPod combined. Those are the only gadgets I carry around with me everywhere, and if the…

You know, even if HP were to lose all of its hardware sales, it wouldn't go out of business. Some people have suggested that IBM could afford to lose its PC business because it still had its chips and big iron. Two things: 1) The PC business, whi…

Quote: What if verizon came out with their own product and offered songs for a buck. How is the itunes phone offering more flexibility. There would be only one way to get music to the phone and that's through itunes. How exactly is that flexible?. …

Quote: Which makes me wonder, who is running T-Mobile? Yeah, lets see... hmmm. provide a phone where customers no longer need to buy your ringtones, they would buy their music from itunes store, use itunes software to load to phone thereby signific…

The iLife integration with Tivo could be really cool. Just like iMovie now has a quick edit option to automatically create a movie from the clips on your camera, an update to iDVD could automatically burn tv shows to DVD: Select the TV show(s), sele…

Exactly! So-called "typical consumers" will start using iLife (and other similar apps) more and more, and they will become the mainstream apps, moreso than things like MS Office. And all those media apps could REALLY take advantage of the Cell. Espe…

I don't think they'd base a phone on the Shuffle. The mini or the full-size? Sure, why not? If they decided to make an iPod phone (and that's a big IF), it could basically look like a typical iPod or iPod mini. However, when you either receive a …

While I don't personally think Apple's gonna release a miniBook anytime soon, it does tie in fairly well with their scalable interface, where everything is vector-based. This is coming in Tiger, isn't it? OS X would normally suck at the resolutio…

Quote: It is far better to have a good library that makes things like network access and database access truly event-based (as in you don't get a "data available" event unless the data is available now). That library may use threads, but still only…

Umm... synp... I don't think you have a good understanding of how threading should be done, and I think you're confusing "Threaded" with "No Events". Threaded apps will most likely be very event-driven, but not in the sense of having a single thread…

Quote: MS Word benefits too but for different reasons than Photoshop/Max/Lightwave do. Once you understand why this is so then you're on your way to competently designing MT apps. Thank you! I was starting to think people didn't realize that thr…

Quote: there is no good reason to have multiple executing thread in a mail application. I think many people underestimate how much you can really benefit from threading. A mail application can use threads in tons of places. Everytime it goes …

By the way, the expanding pile thing I just suggested would also work for documents. Plus, there should be a contextual menu item to open all items in the pile, just like Safari lets you open all bookmarks in a group. You probably wouldn't use th…
-
I think it could be done much more slickly than a popup window, or a Dashboard panel. A pile would show up with a generic pile icon, with one of the app icons placed on top of it... this app icon is the top-level app... the one you want quickest …

One thing Tivo and DVD burners don't have is video iPod integration. If the vPod actually comes to pass (whether it involves viewing on a the vPod itself, or simply as a handy way to carry show to a different tv), that's something Apple can throw in…

Quote: The eMac already fills that price range, so that would have to be significantly reduced in price so as it wouldnt compete with the cube - if Apple did release another cube. You would be able to charge $999 I think, but not $799, not with the…
