Thank you mrtotes, that was extremely informative! I already have SuperDuper, and I'll pay attention to the Oxford chipset. One thing I did notice was that in general while SATA drives are getting cheaper than IDE drives, the SATA enclosures *wit…

Wot iz diz chit: "He noted that during the last calendar quarter, Apple's worldwide Mac market share rose to a historical high of 3.0 percent, up from 2.6 percent in March and 2.5 percent in December." I mean, historically hasn't Mac had much big…

Calm down, everybody. There won't be any ZFS by default in Leopard. It is not trivial to implement! None of the builds of Leopard so far had ZFS as default - think about it. It's the exact same argument I used to predict that Leopard would be lat…

This is silly. There's no way Apple can compete with Microsoft numbers. This is not exactly news. What's far more interesting, is to see what Leopard brings to the table. Apple needs a big, big leap right now over Tiger - since the distance betwe…

I for one will be bitterly disappointed if the "secret" features turn out to be something to do with iPhone. As I do not anticipate getting an iPhone, of what use would such "secret" features be to me? That wouldn't be fair to all OS purchasers to s…

Kasper, instead of being insulted, you should feel flattered... reason is that your readership holds this site to a high standard. I wouldn't bother writing or criticising just any old site - but AppleInsider is such a great site and community that …

Ha ha! As soon as I read the story and before I got to the comments, I was thinking: "WTF does this have to do with Apple????", then I come here and see that my sentiment is widely shared! In other news: ****coinciding with Macworld Expo 2007 in …

Sorry, but this does not look good. The options scandal was a relatively minor issue up until now. But at this point, it's involving Steve Jobs. That is bad... very bad. Hopefully he had nothing to do with it, and it was all the doing of overeager u…

So far, the best is going up to 80GB, and re-design of the earbud. But that's about it. And why did the screen stay the same size? I thought it was a given once they intro movies, it'll HAVE to get a bigger screen. Wow, this is lame. The rest is …

Here comes another point release and the hopes of the faithful are aroused yet again, only to be surely disappointed down the road. Will Apple fix my most hated bugs? Yeah, well I for one have given up any hope that Apple will actually fix their …

Really, is there a more useless iapp than iCal? I have tried very hard - for many months - to use this pft, but finally gave up. The tiny little squares where there's room for writing like... nothing... the total lack of flexibility... I mean is App…
