A word of advice, in the Mac world - never say never... I think you'd find enough feedback that goes both ways on stability. Adobe CS is a lot more stable on my newer Core i7 laptop with Windows 7 than it is on my Macbook. I would say they were p…

I think you over estimate the percentage of Adobe software sales to Mac users. Your almost always going to have at least a 3-to-1 margin of sales to Windows-based PCs just because of market share. And if Apple were to switch processors again, it wou…

My guess would be no on the A4 or a variation of it for new Macs, unless Steve decides to expand their offerings to netboxes or does a notebook variation on the iPad. No software vendor is going to make another chip platform change with Apple, espec…

It's kind of funny, when I saw the screenshots of iBooks I thought of the old Packard-Bell type virtual home applications that came on their early 90s era Windows 95 machines. Why on earth would you give up screen real estate to show the faux edg…

MS Office is going web-based for Office 2010 and its supposed to work with any web browser: http://www.winsupersite.com/office/o...eb_preview.asp Functionality wise it should be on par with iWork for iPad with the bonus of MS Office document c…

Well if you are really having a hard time dealing with the lack of un-dying support for anything that is Apple branded, maybe you should try starting your own website. Then you could apply your fascist ideals all you want. Quote: Originally Post…

That is perhaps the best new feature of the iPad and has been given little notice in these threads. However, it really isn't a new service for the industry, T-Mobile has had a month-to-month unlimited data-only plan for $39. This will just create mo…

An Apple tablet would be preferred, but at over three times the cost, no thanks. I like Apple products (my original black MacBook is by far my most used system), but I am a practical person who can do a simple cost-to-benefit analysis - i.e. I get a…

Agreed. I really wanted a fully functional (read Mac OS X) Apple-made tablet, but I think I'll have to settle on a 8.9" Asus Eee PC T91MT convertible netbook. It has multi-touch and you can write on it. And at $484 (Amazon) it's cheaper and I can ge…

Hmm, and yet there it is, an underpowered 1 GHz Apple A4 processor courtesy of PA Semi... Quote: Originally Posted by solipsism Um, nothing screams apologist than thinking that the well established and commercially viable chips are going to …

You Apple apologists are hilarious. This device will most likely be running a PA Semi processor so, no, it won't be running any of the current Mac OS X desktop applications. It would require, at a minimum, an Intel Atom processor to do so. If this d…

Verizon has some decent multi-band phones, my HTC Ozone is one of them with CDMA and GSM. And it was a free phone. Would I rather an iPhone, of course. But I mostly use a phone to, you know, talk - so all the fancy apps that you use for two minutes …
