It is rare that a Mac requires a resatart but if you want a perfectly reliable computer and operating system all the time under all conditions your on the wrong planet. Beam up and find another one or an alternate universe cause it aint happnin here.

Oh don't get me wrong I realize Apple customer service could use some help. I'm talking about the big picture as a matter of statistics. When I was working as a musician and sound engineer I did a little construction of electronic equipment incl…

[quote] I can gaurantee that there will be plenty of Pentium based systems with a GeForce 4 that can be had for a lot cheaper than any Mac you get with a GF4 MX. Cheaper! When? When you first buy it or after a few times in the shopn (paying for ph…

I already posted a comment about this based on a story on MOSR. I realize the rep MOSR has on this board but it does seem very reasonable. Remember this would be BASED on the Racer tech it would not have to be a video card. It would likely be a DSP …

[quote] I don't know about you, but the more desktop I have with Flash, Dreamweaver, Interdev, Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, Outlook, Trillian, and half a dozen browsers, the better. Absolutely. I have a dual monitor setup but I would prefer…

The only CRT iMac left is under $1000 and it's not as popular as the new ones.

[quote] For the prices they're charging I would expect built in 3D apple branded acceleration graphic chips to boost OS, bandwidth, their i-apps strategy. For many a year the old Amiga had tech that blew away PCs for comparable or less prices. A…

Sheesh!! How many times does someone have to bring up the issue of total cast of ownership to some people!! Especially for a small business that would not have the kind of budget to have three or four people constantly fixing computers 40 hours a we…

It is frustrating but it's also true that unlike in the past, the amount of reliable coverage of what is coming next for the Apple desktop machines has been really sparse. It could be that Apple is just doing a better job these days of protecting fu…

Exactly. It is a combination of things that will make performance better including the OS. We can't just talk processor manufacturers. There are no apps or capabilities that cannot be handled by recent Macs. In terms of applications that push ma…

[quote] I don't have a lot of experience, actually non at all, with dual processor x86 systems but I would think that Windows XP professional has good MP support. The money you could save by getting an dual Athlon system instead of a PowerMac would …

ipod revision iCam (maybe) decision on Quicktime 6 or just more info on talks with MPEGLA. Peek at X 10.2

1. 4 mega pixel multilayered CCD 2. Firewire 3. MPEG movie mode 4. some kind of unique linking features with the iapps, other hub devices and pro creative apps (FCP, DVD studio). 5. audio only (MP3, MPEG 4 or something else) recording mode Ba…

[quote] I just don't see how Apple is going to make the best digital camera or camcorder. What is Apple going to bring to the table that will make PC users want to buy an iCam and a Mac? As I posted in another thread; 1. 4 mega pixel multilay…

Actually the only point I addressed was the question of why you would want the capability in a palm top device. I know this thread is about the 8450 and it is an interesting question even if it is technically unable to be used for such use. Searc…

? [quote] OMFG!!!!!!! The stupidity of the first post boggles the imagination? Why? Why would you want that much processing power in a fscking portable device? WHY? Just so you could say that you have a G5 in your Apple PDA? Gawd! Get your head out …

The Blue Ray tech can put our 30Mb per second. This is in line with it's HDTV capabilities. Likely a separate red laser assembly could be employed for backwards compatability. This standard seems to be geared toward HDTV which is getting more popula…

He's right iPhoto itself might be able to be turned into a plugin. I would use it. FCP has done something interesting. A lot of video production operations that would have gone with AVID or with a PC solution have gone with FCP and Macs because o…

[quote] Yes, but I don't see why people would port to a hypothetical 64 bit Mac at all - those who can't live without 64 bits already use SPARCs, Alphas or Itaniums right now, and I see little incentive for them to abandon those in favor of the Mac…

Points well taken. I suppose if the next chip is 64bit and it doesn't raise the cost and provides at least some benifit then fine. I am really only interested in performance so if a knowledgable person can set me straight on this I'm grateful. Regar…
