I think that machine was made before Apple started using autosensing ethernet ports, and assuming your windows PC doesn't have one either (very possible), you may be using the wrong type of cable. If you are connecting the cable directly from the PC…

I am able to order through the ATT site, but they are saying availability in 14-21 days... guess I'll wait for Apple.

Oddly enough, I am having the exact same problem. The difference is that I am using an external USB DAC (Fiio E07k) on a Mac Mini. I thought the DAC was the issue, but it is flawless on other computers. The Mini has a 180GB Intel SSD and the origi…

Here's another scenario that I haven't seen mentioned. Sharp has a 32" 4k monitor coming to market soon (http://uk.hardware.info/news/33070/sharp-32-inch-monitor-with-4k-resolution-costs-4500-euro). LG has a 30" 4k monitor coming soon too. 3840x2…

I find it absolutely shocking that Apple removed the optical drive and STILL doesn't have discrete graphics. Sure the battery is bigger, but the machine doesn't get better battery life.

I was bitterly disappointed to see that Apple is using the Intel Graphics in lieu of a discrete card. I was all prepared to order a new Mini on the spot, but given that I don't use USB 3 at all, and I would rather have a discrete card I didn't. I…

I think it's safe to say that every major move that Apple makes for the next three to five years was carefully planned by Jobs before he died. Apple purchased all of the mapping companies long before he left the company, and we all know how he hat…

Here's something no one has mentioned... virtually every HDTV sold today is already a "retina" screen. All retina means is that at typical viewing distances the pixels become indistinguishable. That's long been the case with 1080p, and in many cas…

Given that I can't even find a store with a decent case for my new Classic in stock, it's become pretty clear that it is dead. When I purchased it a couple of weeks ago the local Apple Store couldn't even find them in stock because they are so rar…

I have to say that since now we know that Apple will never implement BD playback in the OS AND it's possible to implement playback without their help, I'm more than a little surprised that another third party hasn't stepped up and delivered a soluti…

Apple updates consumer electronics once a year. The only exceptions to that rule I can think of are the 2nd generation iPod and the iPod Photo. As such, there is no reason to believe there will be any updates until 2011.

I don't so much care about Sandy Bridge, but I do care bout thunderbolt. I really hope they integrate that into the next generation.
