  • Has anyone tried this FM Transmitter: http://www.aerielle.com/ According to the reviews I've seen it doesn't sound bad. A bit better range maybe.

  • And this relates to future Apple hardware how? Shut this one down...

  • So is Star Wars Galaxy coming for the Mac?
    in Star Wars Galaxies Comment by macmike July 2003
  • According to MacRumors: "The G5 will make its way into PowerBook lines in Jan/Feb, Xserve's later this year, and iMacs in approximately one year." So the Powerbook G5 will most likely be announced at MWSF. I can't see Apple making no updates b…
    in how long before g5 Powerbooks? Comment by macmike July 2003
  • Realistically, when will we see the Powerbook G5s? Will it be MWSF in January (Then Apple would be bringing out major hardware updates about every 6 months... not bad to keep sales up and their name in the news)? Or will it be late 2004? Ma…

    in how long before g5 Powerbooks? Comment by macmike June 2003
  • Quote: Originally posted by PB Heat issue is one reason, but I believe Apple will not deliver 970 based powerbooks anytime soon for another reason too: a 970-powerbook will be a 64-bit portable computer; but who actually needs 64-bit portable pow…
    in how long before g5 Powerbooks? Comment by macmike June 2003
  • If the Ti is bumped to a 15" AL design in September (as I've heard is quite possible) would that mean no 970's even at MWSF? I'm surprised with the "year of the laptop" that Steve wouldn't be pushing to get a 970 in a Powerbook. He's got the fastest…

  • Losing IE isn't a big deal for Mac users (Safari is more than a replacement, it's a very large improvement). But the worry is if Microsoft is not just killing IE for Mac, but starting a trend of killing Mac software. No office for Mac would be terri…
    in Microsoft drops development of Internet Explorer for Mac Comment by macmike June 2003
  • I've heard this talk of dual processor Powerbooks before (I don't recall if it's only been MacOSRumors talking or not - but I don't think so). Sometimes I think that if I hear something once, it's just a rumor. But if you hear something several time…
    in Dual 970 17" Powerbook Comment by macmike May 2003
  • Let's say hypothetically that Apple can get a pretty good supply of 970 chips from IBM (they aren't Moto, why not?)... so from a business stand point would it make the most sense for Apple? I think it would make the most sense to put them in the …
    in Year of the powerbook indeed! Comment by macmike May 2003
  • I agree that the 970 will probably come this year. I don't think Steve could just start January with the "Year of the Laptops" statement and not do more than introduce the 12 and 17 that day (and mild updates after that). I hope the 970 Powerboo…
    in Year of the powerbook indeed! Comment by macmike May 2003
  • Apple's CFO said that profit and revenue would be flat for the next quarter. Makes me think that the 970 won't be coming out at WWDC... you would think with a new revolutionary chip with incredible speed and power that revenue and profit might be up…
    in PPC 970 date? Comment by macmike April 2003
  • Lessening the importance of MacWorld/CREATE seems to indicate that WWDC is even more important. And moving it back to June I think implies even more so that it was moved back so something (the new chip/G5/970, whatever) could be there. It seems m…
    in MWNY Renamed "Create" Comment by macmike March 2003
  • I was under the impression that the 970 chips were not only fairly cool running, but also low power usage. I might be mistaken, but I thought someone once said they would be ideal for laptops. With that, I suspect that Apple has something up thei…
    in nVidia Quadro for future PB's? Comment by macmike February 2003
  • I just think with all the comments Steve has made that he has something up his sleeve... First it's the year of the notebooks, then this quote from a paper yesterday: "We have a very strong new product pipeline for 2002," said Jobs, who is chie…
    in Year of the Notebook - 970 Powerbook? Comment by macmike February 2003
  • [quote]Originally posted by Fran441: I wouldn't bet on it and I'll tell you why. First of all, the Power Mac G4 was introduced in late August of 1999 at Seybold SF. The first PowerBook G4 was not announced until early January of 2001. People …
    in Year of the Notebook - 970 Powerbook? Comment by macmike February 2003
  • Could this be a screen for the color iPods people keep talking about? I'm not sure why color in a portable music device, but (like PDAs) people seem to want it.
