Garageband. No, seriously. Lo-fi audio recording and corny midi multitracking. Someone make it happen so I don't have to.

Is this when Apple will FINALLY sell me a 16 core Mac Pro? Eh? I'll start saving now..

in Nehalem due in Q4 2008 Comment by pippin October 2007

He's probably just selling his G5 in a few days.

in Someone Knows Something...And He's Not Telling! Comment by pippin May 2007

How much of a hardship would it really be for Apple to just start offering this sort of thing at $1600-1800 as a BTO option for the Mac Pro? The case can obviously accomodate the hardware, the MOBOs are cheaper than their Woodcrest/Clovertown compat…

in Will Apple ever make this machine? Comment by pippin April 2007

A 16-core Nehalem Mac Pro sometime in 2008/9 would probably be pretty darn good at chewing through 4k video footage. Well, as long as software developers really get the point by then.

in An 8-core future Comment by pippin April 2007

Apple had better hurry up and put out a 4k display...I mean I don't know how I'm going to do online edits of RAW Red One footage otherwise...

in Resolution Independence ? what are the implications? Comment by pippin April 2007

Supplemental is the word, and it all hinges on what kind of cool applications they come up with for it. Placement is also key. Putting the multitouch device near the monitor means you have to adjust your field of vision less, but you have to stretch…

I say 4k is coming. Lots of things point to Red and Apple being in bed together.

I think that when this comes to the desktop it won't be to replace the mouse or the keyboard, it will exist to suppelement them. For some things, mouse control is very efficent. For some things, keyboard control is very efficient. For some things, m…

in Speculation: iWork/iLife waiting for new multi-touch hardware Comment by pippin February 2007

Am I crazy or wouldn't most of these problems just be solved if Apple added more BTO options to the Mac Pro? If they added support for Conroe/Kentsfield based architectures and left a most other things the same, I think a lot of customers would be s…

in Isn't it time for a plain old Macintosh again? Comment by pippin January 2007

That is totally reasonable and it does offer a good explanation for why it might not be 100% desirable. However, think of all of the guitarists out there that use radio transmitters for their electric guitars and vocalists that sing into wireless mi…

in Why has no one combined Bluetooth and Midi? Comment by pippin December 2006

Lots and lots of intricate video and audio editing and recording. I'll start looking into Xgrid, thanks.

haha just screwing around I definitely think Macworld will offer something significantly more interesting than processor bumps
