  • An 800 MHz G4 mini-tower for 800 dollars. A 1GHz G4 mini-tower for 1000 dollars. One PCI slot one AGP slot. The case design should be compact, but not cramped. RAM slots and hard drive should be easily reachable. I don't care if the average con…
  • I can believe it. All the other rumors have Apple choosing to leave an incompetent Moto, but I've always found that suspicious. Apple is just irrelevant these days. To Moto, to IBM, to AMD, I just don't think Apple has anything compelling to off…
  • Someone needs to say it, but most are too afraid. The flat panel iMac is a mistake. It needs to be removed. It is screwing up the whole lineup. The lineup should be: eMac-- priced to move. reborn Cube-- for consumers who want limited exp…
  • At the beginning of the year I was seriously looking into buying an Athlon based computer. I was not happy with Apple's hardware offerings at the time. I didn't want to abandon the platform, but I didn't want to shell out huge bucks to stay in e…
  • If the bottom computer is really dual processor, then that price seems low (i.e. wrong) to me. So I can't really get too enraged over a rumor that doesn't quite seem right to me. Since I don't post here very often, I will say that if these rumors …
  • It will be a cold day... when I enter text with a stylus instead of a keyboard. But maybe Apple is thinking of this as a part of their education plan. Input for kids who haven't learned how to type. Or a way to help kids learn how to write even. …
  • The sad truth is that the long delays help Apple catch up hardware wise. What's the point of releasing a game if nobody can play it? I think Aspyr is doing a fine job of getting games over to us. ps OpenGL seems to be dying, at least from a g…
  • As far as I can tell, in certain other platforms, functions are assigned more or less randomly to the different buttons. To avoid this kind of mess, I think Apple should wait until most of the applications are ported to OS X before they start intro…
  • I thought I would put together a graph of mathematica benchmarks, but I couldn't really gather enough info. But check out this web site:
  • Oh, I wasn't really complaining about render times. With os X, rendering in the background is a pretty good option for me. I was talking about modelling. I want changes to happen instantly, and instead there is a little wait. But I thought about…
  • I've been lurking on these boards ever since the days of workerbee, but I'm in a bad mood, have had too much to drink, and am tired of fighting the slow performance on my computer this evening. What better time to register at AI right! I'm not a…
