Assume that each of my CDs is 650 megs data. OK, but since the iPod is an MP3 player how about we also assume you rip this music to MP3 format? Human ears cannot tell the difference between a good 256kbps MP3 and CD audio, so I don't see why you …

Increasing at 20% intervals, it would take 4 such increases to double. Moore's law predicts doubling every 18 months(and its accurate for x86 at least), so for Apple to keep up they'd need to do those increases every 4.5 months - not just at the Mac…

If you're going to call someone a dumbass, you should at least have your facts straight. You've just corrected someone for saying that Macs have now broken the 200fps barrier in the toughest games. You then go on to site Quake3 as one of those gam…

In 1997 PowerComputing had 275MHz G3s. For most tasks, a G4 is no faster than a G3, especially taking into account the longer pipeline of the 7450. So in almost 5 years, Mac processor speeds have less than quadrupled. Within the same time fram…

Of course it should also be noted that the new G4s are already breaking the 200fps barrier on the toughest games when used with the high end graphics cards Are you joking? In Q3A a DP 1GHz w/ a Radeon 8500 or GF3 gets only 150FPS at 640x480. Q3A …

philbot you are starting to piss me off. at first I halfway believed you, but now it seems pretty clear you're incorrect exactly how do you know about the G5 test boxes? did you have one? a friend? friend of a friend? rumor from a cousin of a fri…

OK so if this is gonna need custom HW to get faster, how are we ever gonna get that HW? Do you really think nVidia is gonna specially make a GPU that can do PostScript just so Quartz can be fast? How would that be worth it to them? Seems Apple ei…

I think Quartz is the real reason OS X is so slow. Run IE in Classic vs. IE in OS X. Why is the Classic one so much faster at scrolling and opening new windows and everything? The only real difference between the two apps is Quartz. Quartz needs …

It was a joke. At least I got it wormboy

Very soon, Apple announces the new Powermac G5, which will be available in late March. Apple gets a ton of preorders, which will make it a lot of money. Because it doesn't ship until March, people don't find out that it's only an Apollo-based machin…

I don't believe it. It is a possibility that Apple could be shipping up to 1GHz now, and G5s in a month or two(which would explain why all the resellers say only 1GHz G4). But I still don't believe it. It's just too good to be true.

I'm starting to think more than half the people whining about this thing aren't even in the market for one, and if they are, it's so they can fire up Internet Explorer, come here, and post about HOW FAST their G5 is. Did you ever think peop…

Instead of worrying about comparing penis size... I mean Quake frame rates... with Pentium and Athlon users, think about the real world and just how well these things will run OS X, Final Cut Pro, and Photoshop when it finally appears. Uhh, yeah …

Look on the bright side: The iMac was in exactly the same place a few months ago. Look at the dark side: crap iMac sales for the past year+ dragged down Apple's market share, revenue, profit, and stock price.

Uhm, I know, I know, because faster G4s don't exist? This would be like if you've been poisonedÂ*, and you go into a hospital and they say "don't worry, it's not a problem - no antidote exists" It may not be Apple's fault that Mot can't make a…

Piss off, wanker. Go buy an HP. Hmm, would that be the "I know you're right, but I don't like it" response, or the "you might be wrong, but I'm not smart enough to point out why" response? How about this: you send me $1000 and I will buy an H…

Oh God you have got to be kidding me. 1GHz tops? That is shit. People keep saying, "wait, wait, it'll get better." I think if Apple intros new PowerMacs topping off at 1GHz next week, I will not be alone in screaming back: "WHEN?!?"

The only I would warn you of is that 90% of the time, the quality of one's work does not depend on the speed of the machine. 90% is from the wetware, 5% on software and 5% on hardware. Of course it'll make a difference if the machine was an order of…

We ALL know the difference between RISC and CISC CPU´s. A 1.6 GHz RISC CPU wouold be excellent...if the bus is at 133 MHz. Please. This is such a f*cking joke. I doubt you understand the first thing about RISC vs. CISC in the context of current p…
