Quote: Originally posted by skatman I also think that this will happen. If it were G5 Powerbooks that were coming out, I would agree, but that's not what's happening; the analogy doesn't work. With Powermacs you had one PPC supplanting a pr…

Quote: Originally posted by skatman In principle, you can make a composite be strong in all directions, but then you don't gain anything over an isotropic material such as metal. Take a structural beam of the ferrari and squeeze it with metal p…

Quote: Originally posted by skatman I don't want any composite materials in the case at all. Composite is strong when the stress is applied in one direction, but very weak when it is stressed in another. I want a magnesium body and magnesium ske…

I'd like to believe that flash drives are actually faster than rotational ones. My shuffle also takes a long time to read music files. My iPod mini on the other hand reads briskly. Maybe shuffles have crappy flash drives and Samsung has some good…

Quote: Originally posted by Apoder It's funny how, and correct me if I'm wrong, that most Apple products are manufactured in China and yet they can't release new products at the same time in Asia as they do in the States. That's Globalism, f…

An iBook might be obsolete for you. The obsoleteness of a machine is largely dependent on what one uses it for. I'm a writer. I do a little video editing. I surf the next, listen to music. I just bought a used 1GHz iBook. It's great. Am I mis…

Quote: Originally posted by Apoder I'd pick one up today if they just updated the video card. Seriously, at this point any update is a good update. I wish they'd come out with the update just to put the two of you (sunilraman) out of your m…

An update is sure to be here within six weeks. I would be surprised to see 1.5Ghz in the top end. I think 1.42 is more realistic, that way Apple can bump one more time before iBooks go intel. The certain update is a GPU that is %100 Core compatib…

I got sick of waiting for a new PB or iBook to come out so I bought a used 1GHz iBook 60GB in beautiful shape 2 days ago. I figure I saved a bundle and though it seems I won't be getting a new PB or iBook in the next year or two, I'll be poised to…

I just purchased a used iBook and I'm finding I can't customize the desktop the way I could with my old iBook (which also ran on 10.3). On my old iBook when I opened the System Preferences - Desktop & Screensaver there was a drop down menu in…

I think the MP is coming. IBM is still contracted to produce for Apple. Who knows what the consequences are for defaulting on the contract? Presumably IBM is/has been working on the PPC for Apple, just not fast enough. So I think there's more th…

Who says we're gonna be stuck with basically the same hardware as Dell? The chip is changing. That's all. It's still going to be a Mac. For many years, Apple has IMHO led the way in function and design and usability of its hardware. There's not…
