I vingled my pants when I read this story. It's definitely weird, even for Apple.

All these moves are baby-steps toward some greater plan; hopefully a set-top box with PVR, wireless, hardware-accelerated encoding/decoding of H.264, and a large enough spectrum of I/O ports to satisfy average Joes and the Slashdot crowd alike (mayb…

I always thought an eServer + low-cost thin clients would be good for education customers... Imagine a 17" iMac design with optional CD/DVD drive and flash memory instead of a hard drive.

No need for the Powermac, IMO. Not only is it too much for your use, but you also have to invest in a monitor if you don't have one already. Better to get the all-in-one and use the extra cash for other supplies. Have you considered getting the i…

HAHA!

BTW, if Apple plans to SELL music videos through the iTMS (which could happen as soon as this week), the music industry should be happy just to be making money off something that was previously distributed for free. But most big labels are greedy…

Since this thread will likely be deleted, locked, or at the very least moved to another forum, I'd just like to ask everyone to please signup under me for a free iPod.

I don't think a projector is a good idea anyway, it doesn't have the same mass appeal as a set-top box. People don't want to have to buy a new TV/monitor/projector screen, they want to use their existing equipment in a new way. Just give me a small,…

Well, the last media event was iPod/iTunes-centric, so the "one more thing..." could (and I think will) be a new iPod with video capabilities. A lot of people are quite happy to watch videos on a PSP screen, so I don't see size as a problem. And …

I was thinking about this just the other day... My prediction is that Apple is secretly buying up office space for customer support call centers. They have billions in the bank and everyone expects them to buy out smaller hardware/software compan…

Did you click Add from the Printer Setup Utility? Or is that what you're trying to do and it doesn't show up there? I just installed a Canon printer last night, but I had to do the following: 1.) Plug it into the Mac via USB. 2.) Install drivers…

There are 3 issues that need to be addressed before this could really take off: 1.) Content. HBO, Showtime, FX, etc., have great original programs that people watch fanatically, so getting those types of shows on the Video Store first would be a …

It's for music videos, no doubt.
