  • At the risk of stating the extremely obvious: Here's the thing, everything I record, create (on the mac), watch, listen to, play, etc. is pretty much digital right now. And if it's not...it can be. What a digital hub needs to do is provide a se…
    in Set Top Box Comment by ricrocket May 2002
  • Actually, this makes me think of a bluetooth question (I really know virtually nothing): How many devices can be on it at once? If I've bluetooth mouse and/or keyboard...can I sync up my palm over bluetooth and have a bluetooth printer or wh…

  • [quote] It is just a matter of time till all perceived limits of technology recede to the horizon. Undoubtedly true....however - market forces will still be in place. If apple were to make a 60gig iPod with no additional functionality, how woul…
    in 60Gig iPod ?! Comment by ricrocket April 2002
  • [quote] Even more amazing than a 60 GB iPod, would be a 5 GB iPod that costs $200. I would actually buy such a product. For now the iPod remains a toy for the rich. Damned bourgeoisie getting JYD down Actually, there's a pretty good poi…
    in 60Gig iPod ?! Comment by ricrocket April 2002
  • [quote] They are in your pocket, just reach in there?! A remote is not so much a necessity as a convenience - If you take good care of your iPod, perhaps you've got it in a case or something before putting it in your pocket. If you need to …
    in ipod and perhaps a remote? Comment by ricrocket April 2002
  • [quote] the hell is an "intensive purpose"? I try to be "intensively purposeful" at times...does that count? I strongly agree with the BT headphones also, along with the BT car adaptor. This is 2002 for pete's sake, let's get wireless al…
    in Cool idea for iPod v2 Comment by ricrocket April 2002
  • Beginning to understand the real question here... I think "the whole widget" philosophy is best demonstrated by something like the iPod. IMHO, the iPod could only have come from a company like Apple because they DO have the hardware and the soft…
    in Hardware/Software integration myth Comment by ricrocket April 2002
  • [quote] The iApps? Microsoft also makes consumer software solutions that are more tightly integrated with the OS than Apple. Apple's iApps are consistently reviewed to be superior to Microsoft's... and as far as integrating them into the OS - …
    in Hardware/Software integration myth Comment by ricrocket April 2002
  • My vote is still out on whether or not I'd buy one of these...but I do like the concept (once you add firewire - not worth considering without). [quote] why would you pay $600 for a computer jr experience when you can buy a used iMac for less, a…
    in From The future with love Comment by ricrocket March 2002
  • Guys, cut Proto some slack. I've no objection at all to a little bit of creativity being posted here - it can start discussions and speculations. It's also a helluva lot less depressing than everyone and their sister bickering about the bloody G5 …

  • [quote] When Apple makes a minor upgrade on products they usually faze out the original model Maybe true of computers, but this is a bit of a different beast - the 5gig iPod still has tremendous functionality. A whole lot of potential buyers out…
    in Real Tokyo Predictions?? Comment by ricrocket March 2002
  • [quote] Color on a device that's supposed to go in your pocket is a dumb idea. Huh? what a ridiculous statement! Maybe it's an expensive idea, but it's hardly ridiculous. Go out and poll people - if they could afford it I bet 10-1 would buy th…
    in New Ipod with Color Monitor. Comment by ricrocket March 2002
  • [quote] There hasn't been a 'hash' to 're-hash'. The Power Macs were announced through the Internet, they have never been demoed by Jobs. Excellent point - add to my list:Steve Jobs does Hash on stage (of new Dual-GHz G4s) rr.
    in non-CPU MW Tokyo Predictions Comment by ricrocket March 2002
  • Actually, Satchmo doesn't specify lcd or crt - my point is just that as I understood his question, it was the box that mattered and the difference in screen sizes would have distracted people from his key point. Screen size is a completely differen…
    in Too much made about hardware? Comment by ricrocket March 2002
  • Satchmo - I'd amend #2 to include a 17", or #1 to include a 15" monitor - just to better emphasize your point (screen size is a whole other ball game from processer speed...) rr.
    in Too much made about hardware? Comment by ricrocket March 2002
  • Okay, let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater (sorry... always wanted to say that...) Actually, my CONFIRMED sources say that NO FEAR is out and that the G5 will come with 11 inch decals of Calvin (of funny page fame) urinating on one of …
    in More info on next case/stuffs Comment by ricrocket March 2002
  • cdhostage - I appreciate your desire for a high quality product, but I've a feeling those "needs" would push an Apple branded camera into the realm of "not-gonna-happen". [quote] 1) Firewire connectivity Yes, fair one - anything less would be …
