PowerBook G5 and iTunes 5.0 (Video based on Delicious Collection) Since the following are true: -It's been a long time since the PowerBook got a MAJOR upgrade -It's gonna be a while until there's an Intel PowerBook -IBM has unvieled a 970FX …

I could see GPS possitioning and cellular connectivity being added to the iPod. By the way there's been rumors of Apple including GPRS/EDGE wireless technologies in it's next PowerBook right? They're hiring a bunch of Sony Viao engineers that rece…

Intel won't use Petium M's in desktops and servers. What people don't understand is that the Pentium M is LESS powerfull than Pentium 4 HT's, Pentium 4 HT Extreme Editions, Pentium Extreme Editions, Pentium D's, Pentium Xeons and Itanium II's. …

Yonah's fine for an iBook or MacMini, however the 667Mhz bus of Intels upcomming Yonah is half as wide as AMD's EXISTING mobile cpu architecture. Remember when the PowerBook used to be the most powerfull laptop on the market? Now it's simply going…

It would make sense for the PowerBook to have an iPod dock because to be portable you don't want extra perhiperals to carry. So an internal iPod holster makes sense on a portable. An internal iPod holder is less important in a desktop because you …

OS X running on Intel isn't the issue, that's pretty much a flip of the switch as OpenDarwin already runs on both. It's the 3rd party apps. that are taking the time in terms of software. The biggest problem developers are voicing in that their cod…

Danosaur I sent Apple a similar idea almost a year ago. Apple then patented it, so expect to see it if Apple ever updates the PowerBook (they better not use Yonah as a cpu, why put a 32-bit cpu that's slow by todays standards in tommorow's machine?…

I certainly hope Apple does not DOWNGRADE the PB from a G4 to a Yonah. Should we really have to wait until Q2 '06 just to be stuck with a 32-bit, slow bus, AltiVec lacking chip after all this waiting time? I have an x86_64-bit laptop already (AM…

What if the iPod had a tiny lens to project video on any availible surface? Maybe not, as a surface may not always be availible so I think a stylish eye piece or pair of shades (I could see Apple parterning with an eyewear maker on this design) wit…

I'm not exited about a Yonah based Powerbook. I've been patiently waiting about 3 years for 64-bit G5 book, in fact I was hoping by the time it arrived it would be a dual-core 64-bit G5 book. In any case I don't like the idea of having to wait ano…

OLED (Organic LED display), lower power (longer battery life) than LCD, much better picture (no washed out backlight effect or backlight flickering, heck no backlight!), for instance you can achieve very high contrast (black looks black not gray). …

You both make valid points and the truth is the nature of each app. really varies from application to application. Some apps. are nicely self contained and little harm is done by dragging the app. to the trash. On the other hand, there's those app…
