Quote: Originally posted by ghiangelo is there a chance that Intel (having initiated the manufacturing of the Mac Mini design knock off) was using this as one of it's 'bullying' tactics to garner support ? I doubt intel would be so ruthless (…

I don't know where your problem results from, but I had none excluding my USB-stick from indexing.

Quote: Originally posted by Louzer BTW, does anyone know if there's a way to turn off Rosetta in these things? Just wondering from a programmer's standpoint, to see if developers can turn it off so they can verify their code is completely running…

Personally, I believe the HD display on the 17" will be introduced with the next round of PowerBook updates. I further believe that Apple is waiting for the 7448 which should be ready by this fall if Freescale finally got their act together. I do…

It seems to me that the "bottom up" switchover makes no sense from a marketing point. Unless Apple is able to deliver a quad-core PowerMac until next summer, PowerBooks running a dual-core Pentium M might slap the towers around in some benchmarks (n…

The Apple transition document mentions that the inMacs will use a different partitioning scheme than the one traditionally used by Macs. This is going to be the same braindead scheme used by all OSses on x86, which is enforced by the limitations …

"Great PowerPC products" is so typical Steve Jobs. There are no exciting products with this CPU coming out of Apple anymore and he knows it. Maybe some 1.8Ghz Powerbook and a 3Ghz water-cooled overclocked 970, yes, but that's it. Jobs kicked IBM …

Quote: Originally posted by octane On a side note, did anyone else notice in the conference Steve's somewhat somber tone at saying they were switching to Intel? Somber? I have never seen him that nervous, tense and somewhat frightened as in…

Apple has survived a lot of really bad company decisions not least due to their rabidly loyal followers and their image of "doing things different". All this is in extreme jeopardy right now. Jobs may believe he can sell people the same box like …

I believe it when I see it. Currently, I very much suspect bovine manure, because: - Apple depends of 3rd party developers to develop for the platform (this is especially true for Adobe and other heavyweights). After a painful transition from 68…

Some of you spec-whores are way over the top on the Mini. I bought mine in Feb, full knowing that it would not support the wobble effects in dashboard. Do I regret it? Nope. I need the machine for surfing, word processing and light Photoshop for …

Quote: Originally posted by Chikara Since apple has released tiger this month, rather then attending macworld in july. Do you think they wanted to give some space, to introduce new powermacs/powerbooks in July's macworld. Sorry, but I have…

Quote: Originally posted by fulmer Ok, I've seen lots of Powermac threads but no Mac mini threads... What's your guess on when it will arrive and what it will have in it? I doubt we'll see it before fall (Oct/Nov), unless it is a simple sp…

Quote: Originally posted by pyriX Dont get me wrong, I like apple's stuff. After using the iMac G5's I was, in a word, impressed. BUT is still just evoloution. So, what's wrong with evolving proven products to make them better? Apple has ha…
