  • Quote: The iMac looks like it dwarfs the PowerBook in overall volume. There are definitely some cues that the PowerBook G5 will take from the iMac, but I'd say that the Apple exec (Greg Jozwiak?) who said they were a ways away from putting a G5 in …
  • Quote: But, I'd bet that if Apple had released a headless unit and priced it somewhere around $999 without monitor and somewhere around the current price of the new iMac when bundled with a monitor, that Apple would be selling a ton more units. …

  • Quote: I just ... saw that ... photo at the top of the thread ... Pretty hot, ain't it? BTW, why isn't there a fighting-back-your-puke smily? I think it suits this thread really well.
  • Cover your eyes!!! It'll be gone soon! That is one of the most hideous things I've ever seen. And this is supposed to beat out the miniPod? Puh-leaze! Let's see... UGLY AS SIN... no wheel, or even a scroller like on the Dell DJ... UGLY AS SI…
  • Quote: I don't care about speed. I take my time browsing porn Yeah, but who wants to spend hours transferring 2 TB of porn from one device to an other, when you can now do it in seconds? Porn-on-the-go has never been so convenient!
  • Quote: The chart on that link shows Memory stick Pro and Duo also going as high as 2TB so the tech is still a ways off indeed. True, although did you notice the bandwidth? More than double the speed of the next fastest card, 6 times faster than …
  • Yowch! If that's for real, it's pretty amazing. I mean, to get into that range or storage capacity, companies like LaCie are tying two HDs together and faking it. And these guys are claiming to get 2 TB into s card? And a small one at that! If th…
  • Apple should have no need to license anything. But when MS joins the party, Apple could always open the iTMS library as a kind of service. So you'd still have the iPod/iTunes/iTMS as the preferred way of interacting, but you can go to other iTMS-…
  • Quote: I don't know about your sales experience, but people are not on expendable budgets and most of the time will not be upsold, actually only about 5% are upsold, so that argument as well is mute. ... and since Apple doesn't provide a low-pri…
  • Quote: In a sense, you're saying that Apple should forget its design roots ? because brilliant design is rooted absolutely in utility ? and come up with some conventional crap that reinforces irrelevant and incorrect assumptions in the service of n…
  • Even though the AIO is probably the best solution for most people, the problem is that most people don't think it is. People always think they'll want to upgrade their monitor later, or keep it around for the next computer, or worry that it might go…
  • Here's something slightly thicker... not quite as nice looking, but it's just a quickie mockup.
  • Quote: Yeah, that picture looks pretty thin. It's more like a powerbook with out a flip up screen. Neat concept, space saving, but not very upgradable. Well, doubling the width wouldn't make it look horrible or anything. And it's not meant to be…
  • I don't think the next iMac will be headless... I think it will always be an AIO. However, I think that eventually Apple will get it through their head that we need a headless low- and mid-range computer. There have been a few mockups of how that…
  • Quote: Isn't that what we really want though. Umm... I'd say "no". Sure, we'd like something that doesn't cost twice as much as a comparably-speced computer, and one that isn't entirely form over function. But I think we still want something …
  • Quote: One other quote from your link that you may have missed: ... Most interesting if we are to see Apple use this dual core chip in an Xstation. And especially interesting if we are trying to figure out if the author knew what he was talking …
  • Quote: You get your pizza box and open it so the lid part is nearly 90 degrees to the base. The guts of the machine are the pizza. The screen is on the lid, facing outwards. Of course, then you lose the small footprint thing... One good thing…
  • Quote: I have read several things over the last year about a technology that projects the immage of a keyboard on a desk and then can sense where you type. I think this would be neat as an add-on, but not as a built-in feature. Why? No tactile f…
  • Quote: I still think the killer feature is an iPod slot. Get rid of the hard disk (makes the unit cheaper) and use the iPod as the hard disk. What else are you going to use 40GB for? ...and think of the value of this in an educational environment. …
  • I have to agree that the calculator is the #1 reason I want dashboard, because it currently takes up space in my dock that I really don't want to bother with, because I hardly ever use it. But when I do want it, even the click in the dock and waitin…
