  • I've seen many people comment that they're going to spend a few days learning Cocoa (from scratch!) and be able to come up with an application that will make them oodles of money. In my experience, people will quickly discover that learning Cocoa…
  • My 2 cents... I think that this is simply a channel-clearing action by Apple; in preparation for new Cinema displays, which will debut later this year. Why? No integrated iSight. Given the existence of the Leopard iChat and iChat Server,…
  • A different viewpoint... Apple executed the switch to Intel processors almost flawlessly, so we've all begun to think that miracles will happen every few months; but I'm wondering if all the efforts of the past two years might have been a little …

  • Quote: Originally posted by kim kap sol What's sad, and most people don't really see it that way, is that MS is trying to find every reason to abandon the Mac. They've abandoned IE for Mac...the excuse was Safari. They've abandoned Media Play…
  • dh87, you're making the mistake of treating Intel and Freescale as if they had equally-robust roadmaps for future chip development; which simply isn't the case. You might be confident that Freescale could have developed (and could keep developing) …
  • Quote: Originally posted by melgross This WAS available for the Mac. They seem to have discontinued it. I have the older betas they were giving out. I suppose that this is really off topic, but Expression 3 (in that odd period when it was fre…
  • The problem I have with AppleInsider's "data" is that they've pulled this stunt before. Tell us how comprehensive your data is and then I might believe the story. Anecdotal evidence should not be relied on. I highly doubt that sales of PowerMac…

  • Quote: Originally posted by Rolo I'll tell you a little secret. With Apple, Viiv will thrive. I'm not sure where you're coming from. Viiv is designed to work with Windows Media Center PCs. It doesn't appear to have anything to do with Apple.
  • Quote: Originally posted by david_oc Think Secret have more chat about it. Interestingly, they suggest that it purchased media will go to your iDisk rather than your harddrive. Here's the link for the most recent ThinkSecret article. I …
  • The more I look at how much technology Apple would have to cram into a Mac mini to make it able to record every analog and digital TV signal in the world, the more I think that a DVR solution isn't going to happen. I hope I'm wrong, but do people h…
  • Here's an interesting tidbit that might have an impact on the Mac mini reborn story... The AP is reporting that Intel and TiVo are forming a partnership that would have TiVo work with Intel's Viiv (stuff on your TiVo box could easily be transferr…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Gene Clean Caeser of ArsTechnica doesn't seem to think so. I think Caesar is right. Forget DVR. Forget TV tuner cards. Forget grandiose plans of any kind! The original Mac mini started the Mac world looking i…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Kickaha No one's mentioned WINE? I'm surprised. It would let you run many (most) Windows apps, excluding high-end games, without ever having to even boot Windows inside a VirtualPC-esque space. It's an idea. T…
  • While a dual-boot Mac (OS X & Windows) will certainly appeal to a certain group of people, the concept that really excites me is being able to run two operating systems at the same time. Intel's new processors theoretically will allow this; and…
  • I'm really impressed with Apple over the iMac upgrade. Without having to commit all its fortune into a media center PC gamble (that Microsoft is losing so badly at), Apple has added essential multi-media functionality; with an ease of use that wi…
  • I'm not sure why anyone would want a dual-boot situation when Microsoft will undoubtedly create a new version of VirtualPC which will integrate very nicely into the OS X workflow (like it does now) but doesn't suck! Microsoft will jump at the chanc…
  • Quote: Originally posted by steve666 I agree. The Mini needs to be upgraded, period. All the posturing done on this board to cover Apple's ass is silly. I never see a PC maker fail to upgrade its computer when it needs it, not on some silly 3 …
