I doubt the pending update will be anything significant. Probably just a speedbump and a few small new features. I would however wait 2 more weeks because an iBook update seems to be looming. As for the iBook vs. Powerbook. Personally, I would ge…

As 00100011 pointed out. The looks more like the Microsoft phone than the Apple phone. xBox glowing green. A good fake/mockup, but no way the real iPhone. Side note: Apple has done a pretty good job of keeping its secrets secret this time around.

Has it occured to anyone that July 7th is a Thursday. Apple have never release any new product on a Thursday! (there is an old superstition that anything begun on a Thursday is destined for failure)

I found this blog posting: http://www.luisdelarosa.com/blog/200..._jvm_here.html He seems to imply that a 64-bit JVM exists. Has anyone gone to WWDC and can confirm?

This doesn't sound very impressive. IBM and AMD already have 64-bit. Virtualizing another operating system might be useful, but, in practice, most people won't use such a feature. Fast I/O is good, but hardly revolutionary (unless I'm misu…

You could try the Logitech QuickCam for Notebooks. I think it's about half the price of the iSight, with less image resolution and none of the nice aluminum. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...&s=pc&n=507846 http://www.logitech.com/i…
