The spec whores are doing the Mac mini a huge disservice. I recently bought a 1.25Ghz mini, thinking that I would use it for light duty only; especially since I haven't gotten around to putting more RAM into it. As an experiment, I loaded a fe…

Obviously, this move represents one of the biggest shakeups in the creative industry in many years. I expect that the next year will see adherents to individual software packages upgrading to the most recent offerings; and then everyone waiting for…

Microsoft is certainly working on their Avalon compositing engine; which is supposed to be a little better than Quartz and a little worse than Quartz Extreme. But that's pretty much it when it comes to high-end compositing by Windows. And that's …

Nobody can keep the Mac mini in stock. That should tell you all you need to know about the possible imminence of any changes to the box. I expect to see no changes to the Mac mini this year. The only exception would be if Apple decided that all…

One consumer possibility that comes to mind from this discussion would be for Apple to develop a computer that will A) Boot up as a normal OS X computer OR Instantly boot up as an entertainment server box for the home. OS X would continue to hav…

A Wacom tablet works beautifully in Fireworks MX. I couldn't imagine life without either! About Photoshop CS... As long as you're getting Fireworks, I think that this is overkill. Get Photoshop Elements if you want, but I'm finding that I use …

The Mercury Elite is a great firewire drive & OWC is a wonderful company. Just a couple weeks ago, the on/off switch on one of my very old OWC drives started having trouble. Even though it is way out of warranty and OWC couldn't provide part…

If you decide to buy cheap memory, please make sure that the company you buy from has a liberal return policy; just in case OS X decides that it's too cheap. For myself, I always buy from Crucial. It's more expensive (but not by much), it is sen…

Quote: Originally posted by Maffrew Interesting that on the 'parts you can install yourself' part, they list this as one of them: "Mid-plane assembly (contains the main logic board, the G5 processor, fans, NVIDIA graphics processor, and so for…

Quote: Originally posted by BK0001 Given all this, I just can't believe that Apple doesn't say something like: "While the iMac G5 accepts any combination of DDR400 (PC3200) SDRAM in its two slots, a matched pair will modestly boost performance…

Another argument is that it was only a "sidenote" because the simple reality is that most people who purchase computers never upgrade them; so Apple has no particular reason to highlight the issue. It would certainly never appear in advertising. I…

Making the CPU, GPU & fans one unit makes a lot of sense for a consumer device. Apple is able to sell consumer devices cheaper because the main logic board is less robust than what one sees in the PowerMac. All the current one can handle is wh…

Quote: Originally posted by glen I agree. If anyone can bare to be patient, once the glut of left-over fx5200 chips run out Apple will have to replace them and it should be with something better. They might even add a 2ghz 20" model to the line a…

MOSR is now claiming that there will be an iMac in addition to the ones listed by TS. It will sport a 2Ghz G5 and a better video card. http://www.macosrumors.com/82504M.php [post edited to include a link to the MOSR article] If true, the the…

The design at MacKompass is one of the most elegant creations I've ever seen. It would be very difficult for me to not buy this beauty. It also solves a couple technical issues that the other designs don't address. The CD/DVD drive is horizonta…

Good job lucida! This mockup takes all the rumors and lumps them together. I wonder what the iMac is telling its user? "You've got mail" or "You really shouldn't have tried to play Doom 3 at its highest settings!"

Here's something to add to the mix: The Register has a story about a trademark filing in Europe that concerns a so-called tablet Mac. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/08...le_tablet_mac/ Merge the Register story with the one from ThinkSecr…

While I would love for the iMac3 to have upgradable graphics, I doubt that it will happen. Sigh... On the other hand, all these people who are slamming the 64Mb graphics card are a little over the top. It, in combination with the G5 and updated…
