    in Briefly: Apple shaves cost of Cinema Display line Comment by b3ns0n April 2007
  • It's possible that they'll move some of the components back to the base (like the sunflower iMac, but not such a large base) in order to lose the chin. I'm not sure how they would do this exactly, but that would be one possibility they'll have looke…
    in Apple's next-generation iMacs to add a touch of grace Comment by b3ns0n March 2007
  • I'd rather see the vile cursing than such flagrant abuse of English as is displayed by your unnecessary apostrophe insertion. It confuses me that people think that Apple owes them products. I'd say don't plan seeing on a new MacBook Pro before WW…

    in Wide Screen IPOD NOW!! Comment by b3ns0n March 2007
  • Sometimes I think people expect the impossible of Apple, and dedicated GPUs in the MacBook and Mac Mini are a good example. Why don't they just give their computers away?

  • My suspicion is they'll be updated at WWDC/when Leopard is released, and the Leopard release is "spring". As is frequently said, buy it when you need it. Alternatively, buy a refurbished unit when you need it, sell it on eBay when the new model is r…

    in Another reason for Apple to make an iPhone junior! Comment by b3ns0n February 2007
  • When you buy something you're entering into a bargain that you believe to be beneficial to you - you're happy to purchase that computer, or whatever, for that price. If Apple then later upgrades the specification, you have no grounds for complaint -…
    in Special Event in the future??? Comment by b3ns0n February 2007
  • He's kinda right. From my POV it's looking like with weaker Mac sales in the run-up to leopard, seemingly no "true HDD video iPod" on the horizon and the iPhone waiting until June, that the next few months could be the time to buy in if you haven't …

  • Sorry, I posted a duplicate thread, duh. Anyway, I love Peep Show, it's one of the best things on telly IMO.
    in New UK Get a Mac Ads!! Comment by b3ns0n January 2007
  • Hey JP, I've had no problems with the Macbook Pro's keyboard. The flipside of the keys is that they're removable which is handy for cleaning. They feel great, type well, and seem pretty robust to me.

  • From what I gathered (health warning: this may be TOTALLY incorrect) you can flick your finger at the desired speed in order to keep it scrolling further down for a while. Depending on reviews of the new scrolling system, and user feedback, I can…

  • You're missing something. a) When Steve made the call, the phone wasn't being offered for sale or lease, sold, leased, as stated is prohibited. He was using it. It doesn't say "may not be used". Surely manufacturers have to be able to test protot…

  • I'd see them doing something limited and elegant like offering a gallery of the newest releases and maybe a gallery of classic films, similar to the way you browse theatre trailers, and you can buy it and watch it just by selecting it and confirming…
