  • [quote]from Spymac A revised laptop line is expected to make an appearance at the coming Macworld, sources tell Spymac. I'm convinced that, where Spymac is concerned, "sources tell" = "some random person emailed".

    in MWSF predictions... Comment by spotbug July 2002

    in Is the 17" iMac Rumor confirmed Comment by spotbug July 2002
  • c/net says "yes" as well (and no new PowerMacs at MWNY). The small size of the screen on the iMac (15") is all that's keeping me from considering it. At 17", I think maybe, yes.

  • The two weeks before a MacWorld keynote sure are fun!
    in nvidia, amd, and the G5 Comment by spotbug July 2002
  • I won't be disappointed with MWNY as long as the prices don't go up and the specs don't go down (right now I'm easy to please ). However, my minimum to purchase a new PowerMac would be a new, somewhat smaller case and what I would consider at l…

  • We'll get no more than scenario 3. Probably a tad less.

  • [quote]Originally posted by thuh Freak: at a shareholder meeting earlier this year some1 asked the jobs himself. he laughed at the idea. Was it like, "Ha, ha, ha! You crazy Mac users! No sense of reality." Or was it more maniacal like, "Mwah…

    in Set top box not a set top box? Comment by spotbug June 2002
  • [quote]Originally posted by Scott F.: The point is... the commercials are what keeps it free... remove that aspect... and the house-of-cards will come falling down. That's (most-likely) his point. Anyone disagree...? I don't disagree with you…
    in Set top box not a set top box? Comment by spotbug June 2002
  • Not saying your idea isn't good (I'll take one!), but people generally watch TV on their TV's. Mostly, only younger folks (college students and under) even have their computer in the same room as their TV set. Your device would better fit into th…

  • Now, just one little question before I decide whether or not to believe: Is this information ***CONFIRMED!!!***?

    in Reason for APPL Exec. Stock Sell-off... Comment by spotbug June 2002
  • [quote]Originally posted by naepstn: The only problem with this is that these execs. know that if they are all applying to sell large amounts of shares, then stock price will drop before they are allowed to sell. It's not a problem for the reaso…
    in Reason for APPL Exec. Stock Sell-off... Comment by spotbug June 2002
  • They're selling now, because now is when they can do it without appearing to be jumping ship. If you do it when the company is doing poorly, it doesn't look too good. If you do it because you think the company will be doing poorly soon, you could ge…
    in Reason for APPL Exec. Stock Sell-off... Comment by spotbug June 2002
  • Well, since we're all chiming in with our obsolete prognostications: When SJ said the CRT was dead, I believed him. I mean, I believed Apple wouldn't be introducing a new CRT-based anything. When the eMac was introduced (DOH!) for education only,…

  • Can we all start titling threads a little better? It doesn't take much. All this one needs is a nice '?' on the end of it, for example.

  • [quote]Originally posted by Junkyard Dawg: do we get real DDR, or a hack solution? I think it'll be real. My gut says the Xserve was meant to be real too, but Moto couldn't deliver in time. Having "fake" DDR support in the Xserve (just so the…
