I know this idea's been bandied about before, but they could make the headless iMac latch onto the back of the new Apple displays. If you size and shape it right, then from most angles, you don't even notice anything on the back, especially on large…

Forget "desktop replacement laptops". I think it should be more of a cross between a laptop and the current iMac, but not marketed as a laptop at all. Market it like a desktop machine with some extra features. Like a desktop: - Full-size, full-p…

Aside from the obvious "Steve runs both companies" thing, there are other synergies here. Apple is increasingly getting into the media production and media distribution thing. On the distribution side, as Kickaha mentions, the Pixar connection…

Quote: Originally posted by Frank777 If they don't want to dilute the Apple brand with a low cost offering, revive the Power Computing name. Yeah, that'd be cool. Release Macs that have crappy ATX cases, sub-par internals, crazy-loud fans, yadd…

Quote: I doubt they could drop the price much by downgrading the grahics card and the CD and HD. You'd save maybe $100 perhaps $200. They don't have much memory to start with and if you downgrade the internals too much you lose the throughput and y…

Okay, I apologize for re-posting this from another thread, but this is what I think the set top box should be like: Quote: ... Imagine, if you will, an Airport-connecting, Rendezvous-enabled, iApp-integrated set top box. Just plug it in, and…

But that's my point. The rest of the industry goes around advertising these extremely low cost computers that no one in their right mind would actually buy. Consumers are suckered in by that low price and may be a little miffed at the final price ta…

Quote: Originally posted by snoopy Who knows, the Xbox and PowerMac may be using the same CPU? Well, I doubt they'll actually use the same CPU. They'll probably be based on the same technology, and will likely be mostly (completely?) compatible…

This from the ZDNet article:Quote: "A high volume system like [Windows] that has been thoroughly tested will be by far the most secure," Gates told the audience ... I'm sure that makes the Windows victims feel so-o-o-o-o much better.

I really don't get what's so complex about disk images. They work just like ZIP files. ZIP files:[list=1][*]Download the ZIP file[*]Double-click the ZIP file to open the archive[*]Drag the app (or other files) to your hard drive[*]Delete the ZIP …

I agree that Apple will (and definitely should) be sticking G5s into their entire product line as quickly as possible, but I don't expect to see it as quickly as some here are predicting. For one, it would be disastrous from a marketing perspecti…
