  • Ask yourself this: what would need to be true for Apple to license OS X on Intel? You need at least the following: 1) OS X (and its applications) would work within the Intel architecture (not just Intel chips, but the whole of the ecosystem of m…
  • Quote: Originally posted by wmf So the other question is antennas; you could probably use MIMO with only 2 antennas, but you might only get insanely great speed instead of ludicrous speed. I'm really looking forward to Apple creating a propri…
  • Quote: Originally posted by G_Warren Maybe we are missing something - maybe we aren't actually getting an iPod Micro, but an iPod Mini Rev B, with longer battery life made possible through less power hungry drive, since the current battery life s…
  • Cute design, but I think you are not focussing on the real advantage of a flash memory based player. A flash based iPod will come someday. The advantage won't be based on making it even smaller, but instead making it more durable with longer batter…
  • There's a little company called RIM, that has a product called a BlackBerry that is kind of the industry standard in pocket-sized devices. It does what you want it to do - communications (email, attachments, phone, calendar, contacts). If you comb…

  • Thanks, Please lock and delete this thread.

  • Quote: Originally posted by dfiler So you're not going to tell us about her battery life? Oh yeah... no worries, just put her to sleep after use. I'm surprised that's the best you could come up with, but hopefully that'll be the end of i…
  • Quote: Originally posted by The Angel of the Abyss Yes it's WHAT IT DOES NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE ! Well, I somewhat disagree. My wife looks very good, but she doesn't do too much. Still I'm happy. Sure I'd love it if in addition to look…
  • Quote: Originally posted by synp I agree that chip supplies are too low, but I think that if they could put a G5 in a laptop today, they would be in the PowerBook, rather than in the iMac. Maybe, but iMac needed badly to differentiate itself…
  • Cynical on whether they're telling the truth about not being able to do it, naive about the complexity of doing. I'm by no means saying that for sure it can be done, just that it's in their interest, based on chip supply, to say that it can't be …
  • Call me cynical and naive, but I think Apple can already build a 1.2" thick G5 Powerbook. The reason they don't release one is is chip supply - they could not come close to meeting the demand. G4 Powerbooks are still selling extremely well at …
  • Quote: Originally posted by AppleInsider While the job listing does not explicitly imply that the next-generation iPod will be capable of displaying video and connecting to WiFi networks, it does indicate that the company is at least experime…

  • Quote: Originally posted by Arty50 I wonder why Palm announced that future versions of Palm Desktop would not support Mac OS X... Because iSync/iCal/Address Book already do everything Palm Desktop did and they are built into OS X.
  • Quote: Originally posted by lucida Quadra How about a Quadra G5? Let's see, 4 times 2.5GHz = 10 GHz != 1 THz. You actually need a 400 processor system to get you there. But a nice graphic.
  • This is getting off topic further, but I am hearing that the Xserve product line is actually taking off dramatically. The back orders are apparently based on a significant order volume, not just virginia tech. The fact that it provides Windows…
  • Two things: Priority 1: Really good car integration for factory installed equipment. This means an interface to the amplifier, ability to be controlled using steering wheel controls, and a nice mount for the car. Also, some matching "snap-on" c…
  • I predict the eMac will get USB 2.0 ports and a faster processor.
