  in Multi-Cores evidence that Moore's Law is already breaking down? Comment by dobby July 2011

  in any ideas or rumors about iPad 2? Comment by dobby February 2011
• Perhaps the stylus is a form of verbal/eye motion. Picks up eye movement and voice commands in a useful way.

  in Tablet, iPhone OS 4.0, iLife 2010 'confirmed' for Apple event - report Comment by dobby January 2010
• If the iphone/ipod touch apps are being designed to run at larger resoulution then it bodes well for a larger gaming device (still smacks of 7"-10" ipod touch). this would be great for video as the ipod is just a fraction too small to appreciate mov…

• I just hope that if there is a TV/Movie subscription service that its available overseas as well via itunes store. Stupid comment really as it has to be itunes.

  in Apple tablet could have 'imminent' Jan. 2010 debut - report Comment by dobby December 2009
• I also think Apples cases cost most as the bulk of the PC cases you can buy is cheap templated rubbish that is designed to fit a plethora of various motherboards, drives CD Bays. Saying that it means I can put together a low cost system for $500 an…

  in Apple ready and waiting with redesigned iMac line Comment by dobby October 2009
• An OLED 10" widescreeen for viewing movies horizontally and turn it vertically and the lower part turns into a touch keyboard to become a taptop. OLED would mean far less battery drain but more contrast. Downside is OLED is $$$$ and I couldn't aff…

  in Intel's X25-E SLC SSD performs like a champ Comment by dobby March 2009
• Lack of numeric keypad is ok, its yet another reason why Macs will never be a gaming vehicle (although the PC seems to be loosing to consoles despite the fact that most multi-platform games use the PC as its best port!) as it further limits possibil…

  in Apple debuts new Mac minis with five times better graphics Comment by dobby March 2009
• Sounds like reformat/reinstall will fix the problem. Add a question to the auction (if it is one) saying it sounds like expensive hardware replacement. I have a mac mini with a buggered internal drive and use a USB drive now. Am waiting for SSD'…

  in Mac Mini reboot problem? Comment by dobby February 2009
• I have a friend with one of the first Titanium mac book pros (single 1.5 Ghz I think). He also has a 20" mac LCD and the it runs sweet as. Check that the default resolution for the macbook is the same as the monitor. Most LCD monitors perform b…

  in Availability of Apple's high-end iMac starting to fade Comment by dobby February 2009
• If two internal HDD bays are on offer then one could be a 64MB SSD and the other a normal HDD for data storage. I suppose the cost of a decent SSD would probably make this option out of the mini price range. Dobby

  in More versatile Mac mini expected at Macworld Comment by dobby January 2009
• With the mini also using a notebook HDD it would be good to see an external SATA II port and perhaps even an option of an SSD instead of an HDD (every bit of performance helps). Dobby.

  in Mac mini makeover considered likely for Macworld Comment by dobby December 2008
• I think merge of the Mini and Apple TV would be ok. Losing the mac mini would be a silly thing as Apple now have a product range that can attract many new buyers. Not every wants (or can afford) a $2500 Mac Pro that is the begining of the pro range.…
