  • [quote]Originally posted by Animaniac: Moore's law says that transitors will grow exponentially at a base of 10 (10x) every year, I believe. We're no where near that with the G4. Actually no. I took the effort and went to the source of all knowl…

  • [quote]Originally posted by Bioflavonoid: Ya, but doesn't moore's law also say that processor speed would double every 18 months? I could be wrong, I don't really know much about the law, I just heard that. Yup, that's one way to look at it (s…

  • Wow, six pages of comments and nobody's looked at this upgrade in terms of Moore's Law yet. If you shrink Moore's Law down to the 6 month scale the increase is, well, 25%. 1.0GHz -> 1.25GHz = about 15-20% improvement (ish) 133 FSB -&g…

  • I can understand the requirement that all unsubstantiated rumours be put up by newbies with 1 post. That's fair. But do we really have to require them to be barely literate? Sure, functionally illiterate is fine (like starting a sentence with But…
    in G5 Comment by justaguy July 2002
  • Or maybe, just maybe, the PowerMac is the Power version of the iMac. (or rather that the iMac is the consumer version of the PowerMac). The name will stick around for a while. The G4 was added to differentiate it from the Power Macintosh G3, alth…

  • Of course, we all seem to be missing the fact that marketing writes these kinds of PRs with little or no input from the person actually quoted...
    in Amazing New Products - Steve Jobs says..... Comment by justaguy June 2002
  • Well, considering that the warning was for the quarter that ends in June, I'd have to say that this really has no insight what-so-ever to MWNY releases. Even the "we've got great stuff in the pipeline" quote was standard marketing PR and contains…

    in uh oh... moto needs to get in gear NOW. Comment by justaguy June 2002
  • I seem to remember seeing a bit on this sort of technology not too long ago. The idea was for computers in pen form, so you could pick up a napkin, draw a calculator and use it for real. Or write a memo on the other side of the napkin, draw a little…

  • <sigh> good ole incredibly blurry picture with little or no descernable details. How I love the months leading up to MacWorlds... Edit -- my ISP started denying port 80 access... bastards Edit3 -- a bit of a workaround [ 06-…
    in Project "Glove" and "Lucida" in July Comment by justaguy June 2002
  • $3K for a high-end box, even one as great as the PM, is just plain silly. Especially when you do the math and it works out to almost $5K for us Canadians. As much as I'd love to get a new box, at $5K it is NOT happening any time soon. I mean, I coul…
    in G4 discounts = new Macs? Comment by justaguy March 2002
  • The RS6K case has gone through several revs over the past few years. Where IBMs boxes are now almost all black, they used to be all beige. In fact, an old RS6K was my first thought on seeing this picture. Maybe someone who has IBM equipment in th…
    in Any Idea what this could be? Quad G4? (video proof?) Comment by justaguy February 2002
  • I also wonder why there are so many cords running down from the desk. I count no less than 7 when I can only think of need for three (VGA, Monitor Power and 1x USB). The power and network drops could be in the wall just behind the desk, I suppose…

  • Don't blame you for not registering over at spymac Well, if you were going to fake these, it would be a LOT easier than the iWalk, and also easier to get better results. From a fake POV, there's no way to prove this stuff either way. There'…

  • The site this is hosted on is all in the UK (Hampshire to be exact). But that *still* doesn't mean that the actual computer is in the UK. ssmurphy, where'd you get these pictures or this link to the pictures from?

  • Oh my god. I just hate it when people let morons speak in public. You are allowed to not like Apples. That's an opinion and you're allowed to have it. But at least do the most basic of basic homework before you spout off about it in public. My…
