  • Quote: Originally posted by melgross Yes, that's what I've said. I'm just talking about the political fallout from coming out with a 64 bit machine using a 32 bit OS. If you've seen some of the recent threads when this topic comes up, you have…
  • Quote: Originally posted by melgross I remember using PS with it. It worker VERY well on the filters that were available for it. I often got a 180% advantage. The four chip 604 from Daystar often gave over 325%. Some rendering tasks were sped up …
  • Quote: Originally posted by melgross Apple had a multiprocessing plug-in for the OS, so it did work. PS did as well. People today are more sophisticated than they were then. The publicity might bot be good if they did that. It's always possibl…
  • Quote: Originally posted by melgross But, the 64 bitness may depend upon Leopard, which will likely bring the OS to 64 bits. would Apple intro a 64 bit machine before the OS that would drive it? They released dual processor computers before t…
  • The bigger test for OS X x86 will not be the "bitness" of the OS but rather how many 3rd party applications are ready for the launch and what word about the conversion of Adobe's and Microsofts applications are going, hopefully with an expected time…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Cory Bauer ...I think the big picture here is that Apple would use the internet as a means of television and film distribution, essentially eliminating Comcast, TIme Warner, Dish, Direct TV, and the other cable and dis…
  • Quote: Originally posted by hmurchison ...Apple's not going to convince anyone with a brain that their downloadable content for video is going to be even a tenth of what's available through their local Cable Op. In fact what was it CBS and NBC ha…
  • I would agree that we will not see an Apple branded DVR, whether it is based on a MacMini or not. I think that Apple will enter the market with a solution to stream content to the TV, and have Disney on hand with movies and TV shows to provide conte…
  • Quote: Originally posted by franksargent ...But, by the time Apple releases production MacTels, my gut tells me that the hackerz will need to take a soldering gun to a generic PC motherboard to get their OS'z, appz, and warez to work. Yeah, they…
  • When Steve came back to Apple there was a refocusign of the direction of Apple's product line. At first it brought Apple back to their core product line, gettting ride of products that were extranious and that did not "set themselves apart from the …
  • Quote: Originally posted by ecking I'm still against the camera thing but a media box + huge cinema display sounds damn cool. But like @homenow said I don't know if their tvs would beat others. The problem there is that Apple does not make TV…
  • Quote: Originally posted by icfireball Maybe. I am not sure that the mac mini is the solution. Again, it is foremost a computer. An independant media box/center I would think could be both cheaper but also more effective. Not to mention a…
  • For vido to TV I see the following: "Set top box" or AirPort Express+ which would be PC/Mac compatible. It links into the "movies" folder on a Mac or a Movies folder set up in iTunes for a PC. Interface similar to Front Row for video or iTunes fo…
  • Quote: Originally posted by murk My prediction/speculation for Mwsf or a special event soon after... iTunes will add iTunes Radio. This will be custom streamed radio stations and podcasts based on Pandora (which I'm also predicting Apple will …
  • The number one thing for Apple to do in San Francisco is to demo a pre-release version of OS X along with an Intel Mac that will be ready for the market soon, and hopefully give a few more details on the transition so that developers, customers, and…
  • They probably didnt do this due to availability of the chips. What suprises me is that they don't have "Low-end" single core optioins given the price points of the new models.
  • Quote: Originally posted by s_sarinana I think this is the whole point of having Rosetta. If Apple was going to wait until all the apps were native...why would they include Rosetta? The way I see it Rosetta is a stop-gap to maintain compatibi…
  • Quote: Originally posted by THT Yup. With the recent updates to the Power Mac and iMac (G5 machines), it looks like the Powerbook, iBook and mini will get Yonah in Q2 06, while the Power Mac and iMac will get Conroe/Woodcrest in 2H 06. I a…
  • I haven't heard anything in a while either, and I'm not suprised. As I recall the companies were just getting low res prototype (B/W) sheets produced in the lab, with a projected date for a product in the 5-10 year period. The first applications th…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Anders It seems like such a good idea but each time it has been tried it fails miserably. People just wants to carry a lot of paper around it seems. And then there is the infrastructure problem: There is a whole pap…
