Yes, I know the "xMac" has been beaten to death but hear me out. The last update we saw the processor(s) and memory get moved to a processor tray (i.e. daughter card) making it easy for Apple to have different CPU/memory configurations. The low-end …

I suggest waiting until the next update before buying a new Mac mini. While the updated model will not blow the current model away, performance wise, it will most likely be a very nice improvement. An SD slot and Blu-ray, at least as a CTO option, a…

Any chance Adobe will "step back" and look hard at the Flash Player and rewrite it? It seems to me that now would be a great time to do it because things have reached a plateau.OS X - 64-bit, Cocoa, OpenCL, Grand Central Dispatch Windows 7 - 64-bit,…

If Apple is releasing a netbook, what are the chances that it will use an ARM processor? This would be a perfect opportunity for Apple to provide something similar to competitors, while also making it hard for them to copy since Apple would be using…

Once the contracts the artists have expire, the artists need to not re-sign, but form their own "label" so they have more control over their music and money. I highly doubt Apple cares which label music is released by since their model for distribut…

If there is a special event then I think it will be to show off the new Mac mini and cinema displays. The iMac will make an appearance so we can see how "nice" it pairs up with the displays. I do not expect the Mac Pro to be there, but it would be n…

The updated iMac and Mac mini will probably get released later this month after iLife '09 is released. Apple does not want to release updated Mac models that would come with iLife '08 installed when iLife '09 has been announced because it would be t…
