  • [QUOTE]Originally posted by DaveGee: [QB] Well the cost and effort (R&D) to do a major bump on a single line is costly enough but to do all the lines at the same time... Sheech it would be a nightmare. QUOTE] Maybe I'm being naive, but …
  • [quote]Originally posted by mrmister: 8500. Feh! I couldn't agree more. There is no way we're going to see an 8500 in an Apple. although I don't even believe a desktop capable 8xxx series CPU is being designed by MOT, why would apple bot…
  • What does a 64 bit chip mean for the OS and applications and for the product line-up? (I have no idea, but here are my questions) 1. Do we need a 64 bit aware OSX? 1a. What will run faster on it, what won't be affected? 1b. How long will it…
  • Can you really believe this document from Motorola. They've fallen flat on every promise on this roadmap since the G4 was introduced, and it's pretty clear that the company wants to sell this division. This is nothing but marketing bumf. There …
  • Why this is a great idea (some of my opinions and a summary of what others have said here): 1) after a blackout, when the power comes back on, the clock will reset to the correct time -eliminating the single most annoying feature of alarm clocks. …

  • I'm glad this idea is getting some stickiness. What applications like iMovie, iTunes and iPhoto and what devices like the iPod, VCRs and PVRs (TiVo) show is that people like to have convenient access to media whenever they want it. A home medi…
  • I think that if you added a tiny bit more to this iServe it might make a lot more sense (and be truly revolutionary). It should have a cable in and cable out jack, and a built-in tv tuner. This way, as you stated, you put it in the basement, …
  • [quote]Originally posted by Flounder: I want to own an MP3 player, I DO NOT want to own a cell phone. Sounds like a market to me (maybe i'm the only one though). Guess what, I want to own a cell phone/PDA and not an MP3 player. That sound…
  • [quote]Originally posted by OverToasty: ... geez, I was just critiquing the car analogy, that's all, I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition ... NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear…
  • [quote]Originally posted by ZoSo: I totally agree, isn't this one of the fundamental principles of capitalism? Let's say AI Inc. sells 1000 computers. We have our IPO, and the following year we sell 5000. Our stock skyrockets (like the 1999 …
  • biggest change will be dual processors on the portables combined with new battery technology. This will allow the iBook to go G4 and remain single processor creating a big distinction between the two lines.
  • [quote]Originally posted by warpd: Somebody slap me down if I am wrong, but from IBM's specs on this Power4 processor, it is purely intended for the server market. I'm a peaceful man so I won't do any slapping. I will however point out that …
  • I personally have my money with IBM's Power4 as the basis for the next brain of the PowerMac. Steve Jobs has always wanted to have the world's most powerful processor in his computers and the Power4 really fits this bill (
  • Regrettably, the new iMac faces the same risks that the cube did in that it's high price puts it out of consideration versus other alternatives. The big price driver here is the LCD screen as is evidenced by the much lower cost of the eMac. …
  • [quote]Originally posted by Scott F.: \\ I ended-up buying an internal and replaced my CD-RW drive... it all works fine now. In what machine did you do this? Where did you get the internal drive? How much did you pay for it? And where did …
  • This is what I emailed Steve Jobs and asked for, primarily because I think that my 2 year old would destroy one of the new iMacs, and also because I want a superdrive but I don't want to pay for an LCD display (the eMac has a larger, higher resoluti…
  • I'd just like to say that unless these "Apple" scooters are twice as fast as the existing scooters, feature technology that's only been rumoured about in Star Trek and are half the cost of the competition, I'm going to take my money elsewhere.
  • I want to chime in too. First on "Glove". Let's just understand this. It's actually pretty meaningless to most consumers as they only own one computer. It's also pretty low risk to Apple, because they just need to make sure that the software u…
  • I hate to be pessimistic, but bluetooth is basically dead already. The tradeoff behind bluetooth (adding $25-$45 in manufacturing costs - batteries and bluetooth chips - in exchange for getting rid of a short cable) are economically and functionall…
