Quote: Most people grow out of it and buy computers based on what they want to do with them, not how big it makes their penis look. and none of those people will ever buy macs as for people buying what they need and not want. that's kind of …

i'm by no means a console gamer, but frankly, the WII is much more appealing to me than either of the other consoles. I like the fact that it's not too expensive. I like the new gameplay with the controller. So I think the wii is going to "win" …

aegis, apple would suggest that, and they have. The answer is "why should I spend any extra money on a monitor. All i want is a video card and an extra HD slot - neither of which you get in an imac. so instead of being able to buy what you want, …

i think the point he was making with ipod/itunes was that itunes doesn't sell mp3 formatted songs, which would let you play them DRM or no on other mp3 players. You can't possible argue that itunes/ipod isn't restrictive. There are plenty of good…

one thing about the OSX licenses which is really nice is they give you the family option for 199$ to get 5 licenses or you can buy one for 129 and install it on all your machines if you don't mind breaking the license agreement. If you buy the 5 …

apple just doesn't try hard to compete on price. They sell a very good cheap, consumer machine (mini, imac) and a great high level professional workstation. They don't have anything in between. We can go back and forth all we want about why they…

given that vista is a 200-300$ upgrade requiring pretty beefy hardware, i think a lot of people will just go out and buy a new machine. that's a great opportunity for apple and osx to pick up consumers. unless vista has something like time machin…

what i don't understand about this headline is this: it's 28% year over year growth. Sequencial quarter growth is meaningless. I think we'll all take 28% annual growth. What's that 65% in two years? doubling in less than 3? Any market that…

if you don't have to, don't spend anything, go online with whatever you'd spend and spend that money on a used mac or imac. you can probably get a g4 flatpanel for a few hundred that would blow away that g3.

i hope they took the battery out. breathing in powdered lithium is probably not a good idea.

the iphone was great, but where are the 8 core pros? What about an update to the rest of the machines? the onward trudge of hardware beckons to us! we want bigger HDs, more video memory and faster RAM! actually, i just want leopard. and in partic…

instead of a mac tablet, i'd rather see the keyboard and trackpad get replaced by an LCD touchscreen. think of all the coolness that you could do with that! i for one, hate monitor touchers. leavers of smudges and finger slime. DO YOU KNOW WHERE …

The tablet has its uses, but overall for normal consumers its just another thing they don't need. i've had friends tell me how mcuh they love their tablets, but then again they said the same thing about palms, none of them use palms anymore.

does anyone know how many macbooks are slated to be produced then? is it me, or is 4.5 million a lot? I'd think that 4.5 million macbooks is enough to start pushing software developers toward mac software.

actually, its the lack of the HD and memory upgrades that have opened up a huge gap between the macbook and macbook pro. Go and outfit a MB with what you get on the low end macbook pro and they almost cost the same. i take this as evidence that a…

yeah apple should sell a machine with basically the imac specs but in a box that has enough room for an extra HD and a video card. they'd sell a lot of these. AIOs suck because the monitor becomes disposable. i don't like to throw stuff out.

i just called apple and they told me they'd give me a MBP for free if i posted here. and then i called them back and they didn't know what i was talking about GRRRRHH!!! Apple, do you want to give me a free computer or NOT?! I HATE YOU! I LOVE…

uh.. video content: insert DVD, wake up. Video content ready. What's the problem?
