  • [quote]Originally posted by spotbug: It's not a problem for the reason why they're selling now, if that's what you mean. It is a problem for them, though, yeah. This is just the way it is when you're an executive with stock (options). You don't…
  • [quote]Originally posted by Crusader: Well Apple isn't getting sold, and this indicates bad news in the short term (oh f***). So many execs selling short term really means somthing bad (or steve's misinformation department has had all of the execs …
  • [quote]Originally posted by cinder: Maybe they're all chipping in on a floating space castle. That's just about as probable. Yeah, just as probable!
  • [quote]Originally posted by spotbug: They're selling now, because now is when they can do it without appearing to be jumping ship. If you do it when the company is doing poorly, it doesn't look too good. If you do it because you think the company w…
  • You MIGHT be able to get a really good deal and find an Olympus C-700 UltraZoom for $350. That's what I've got and am extremely happy with it. The only camera anywhere near that size with a 10X Optical zoom or even close as far as I can tell. T…

  • To get this thread back on topic (how discussion of the M$ comments fit in with this thread, I have no idea)... DV cameras and digital still cameras are still largely a pro-sumer item, where people are pretty concerned with the reputation of the …
  • I posted this in another thread, but thought it was appropriate for this one too. DV cameras and digital still cameras are still largely a pro-sumer item (at least in the price-ranges Apple always plays in), where people are pretty concerned with…
  • I'd love to see Apple's next line of LCDs be quite modular, with a few bases and mounting options. One one be no real base or arm at all, but just a mounting bracket on the back (to which the other arms and bases would attach). This could be wall-…
  • Masker, I like the last iteration, and actually don't mind the height at all. Just shrink the handles (at least the top ones)! For a design that linear and statuesque, to have those big bulbous handles just really throws the whole thing off. I th…
  • What about the merits of a Java-specialized daughter-card for the Xserve? Again, barring major technical hurdles, it would seem that this is the type of thing that people might go for on their servers if they run a lot of Java ASP-model type stuff.…
  • What would happen to this Java chip once the JVM gets reved to 1.5, or an updated 1.4? Wouldn't this specialized processor be useless for future versions of Java, or would the byte-code all remain forward-compatible? That seems highly unlikely to …
  • Since FW2 is compatible with existing FW1 devices through the use of a converter cable, wouldn't you expect Apple to simplify the motherboard with all FW2 ports and supply one (or two) converter cables with the machines? Also, I'd think that if a…
  • [quote]Originally posted by Nitride: Rumormongering on specs is silly, they will prolly be lower than anyone expected as is Apple's way of doing things. I think you mean, "as are people on the AI Boards' way of doing things." Somehow I don'…
  • A 10x zoom (assuming you meant optical) at 3 megapixel would require a significantly longer focal length, thereby requiring the thickness of the whole camera (at least where the lens part is) to be quite a bit thicker than in your mock-up. Basicall…
  • [quote]Originally posted by Programmer: You should be so lucky. I don't work on Macs actually, but I want a new one at home to do cool stuff with. What platform do you work on, out of curiosity? What kind of programming do you do?
  • [quote]Originally posted by Programmer: For those saying that such a technology would harm Apple's hardware sales: nonsense. This kind of clustering is useful only for accelerating certain kinds of computations, otherwise the overhead of chopping…
  • [quote]Originally posted by myahmac: ok I have had enough of this. Scott, john, you guys are so full of crap you don't even realize it. The reason i am so upset is because IF we had something like that at my school, we could have had an awesome v…
