BTO Matrox Parhelia... *mhmmm* Must be expensive stuff they smoke... it's even better than RDF! btw. PCI-X is 533MB/s if I'm not completely mistaken... Rather over-optimistic. We'll see...

I guess it's quite good to also post your ideas on portable improvement here! That way you have more insight on what might be a good hardware addition or feature for future portables. Please skip the more MHz/bigger HDs suggestions. Apple know th…

Having to enter a single Name & Number is ususally a not too complex task on most mobiles today. I started with a Nokia and have recently moved to an EricsSony T68i. The Nokia UI is more intuitive than the Ericsson one. Not because I was used to…

No new PDA from Apple now Newton successor. I personally regret, but it's economically better. No doubt Apple could do a much better PDA than any other manufacturer, but there wouldn't be enough buyers for such a product. I expect a major update …

At a recent "Apple Solutions Tour" event an Apple Tech gave me a hint on upcoming wireless hardware. I asked him why there was no onboard Bluetooth on the new mobile Macs as well as there are combined 802.11b (AirPort/WiFi) and Bluetooth (802.15) ca…

The Cube had slot loaders for looks only not for space considerations or anything else. The TiBook has them because it's a little tight in there. The iMacs/eMacs are better off with trays, because there's enough space inside and they're cheaper as …

I talked to an Apple Hardware Development Tech yesterday at an Apple Solutions Tour event. I asked if he knew why the new mobile macs didn't include Bluetooth capability onboard. I also told him that an external USB adapter is crappy nonsense on …

As I said... creative speculation about gigawire. We don't even know what it really is yet. :-) Gbit Ethernet would be an obvious feature of course. I can imagine a 1U Rack Backplane unit where you slide in blades. 3.5" wide and very deep. On …

Rumours about clustering capeabilities for future Mac OS X versions have been floating around for quite some time. Pooch offers a great insight on what X can offer in this field. Biomedicine is a definitive target for Apple at the moment and those c…

SONY and Apple (or vice versa) have invented FireWire (ka IEEE1394) together. So I guess it's extremely unlikely that SONY will include USB2 into DV-Cams. Also consider that USB2 has significant disadvantages compared to FW(1|2). Real world throughp…

That "secret prototype" looks a lot like the Apple QuickTake series of digital Cameras. Get the legacy documentation about them in this Knowledge Base Document. :-)

the competition against SCSI 320 is performance, price and capacity/space ratio. The XserveRAID delivers 200MB/s sustained at any RAID level. This is quite a good throughput for a RAID that I doubt can be topped by SCSI320. (Though it's nominally fa…

This is basically a user accounting technology. In your LAN (because of speeds) you could do this for years now. Can somebody say "Macintosh Manager"? Netinfo (since the NeXT days...), LDAP? Macs can do this... even for Mac OS 9 and X and Windows..…

I doubt that AppleStores will come to Europe within the next year. Apple has a very different relationship to it's resellers in Europe than it has in the US. IMHO that's a thing Apple still has to learn that the european market is a lot different. …

Ebby, could you please post a link where to get info on that Bluetooth/AirPort combo? I'd be very interested in that. I do fancy an experiment!

I don't think we're too far away from an AirPort 802.11g update anymore. As far as I know the standard is set already. (I'm looking to find a link to proove this.) The main advantage is that 802.11a and g use the same 2.4 GHz frequency range. Wherea…

Commercial Software upgrades often take place on saturdays. Mac OS X 10.0 was released on saturday, march 24th. So 08/24 is quite ok to me. Hardware is mostly announced tuesdays or wednesdays. Special events usually get published a week and a …

phishy, Yes that would be possible, see my RAID roundup below. Nevyn, Mirroring 7 drives to 7 other drives would not necessarily be L1 see below. Raid Levels: 0: often called striping. Writes alternating chunks of data to alternating drives…

Many small hardware RAID setup use cheaper ATA drives and a SCSI converter. So internally ATA drives are used and externally a SCSI connection is made. Some PCI ATA controllers work that way as well. Fiber Channel mainly is a means of transportin…
