  • Not only are the video cards not competitive, but frankly, I still find the whole package lacking. The video cards alone should be upgraded to something like an 8600 at the low end and an (admittedly unannounced) X800 for the 2.5. By dropping ADC, …
  • I have to say that this is one of the two flaws in the product. If they allowed even 2 streams, then I would be pretty satisfied, but I would like to have music in the bedroom and at my stereo both at a minimum. If I had children, I imagine they wou…
  • I think that you could pretty much get any nice set of active speakers and do this directly from an Airport Express. No need for Apple to do it, but they could certainly have HK or another company manufacture a nice set of floorstanders which can ta…
  • Yeah, but where is the room for innovation on a scanner or even a printer? PDAs you could argue are ripe for some new technologies, especially in the smartphone arena, but I don't think there is room for the sort of quantum leap that there is for…
  • Cell phones, scanners, PDAs, and printers are all losers for Apple. Scanners and printers have razor thin margins. Cell phones and PDAs have small margins and intense development cycles. Better to let someone else handle the development and j…
  • I do think the a dual+ PowerMac G5 lineup combined with a single G5 iMac lineup could happen. Much as I wish for a small headless eMac with one slot and 2 drive bays, it probably won't happen. Powerbook, not going to happen this round. xSta…
  • I would argue the opposite. Sony's exit marks the true success of the PDA as a commodity with razor-thin margins and the only way out is to find out how to shave money off the price or innovate to a higher price. Combined with Sony's too aggressive …
  • I would like to be able to consistently switch tabs while one page is loading without waiting. I also would like to see keywords for searches like Camino (I use Sogudi for this, but it sometimes misses).

  • I think I will just create drop box scripts to auto-email attachments to my email for storage anyway, but I think that if I am paying for email, it should match free offerings, but without ads. That seems pretty reasonable to me, especially since I …
  • I actually think the eMac would be a better choice to lose the monitor. It would then be a much better corporate/education machine. The iMac should move to single G5s and the PowerMacs all doubles (or more!)
  • There are a lot of people clamoring for something of this sort. For example iServe ( mock-up ). I think the mock-up, while cool, basically looks like a closed iBook, and would need to be larger for a SuperDrive and more HD space. A home server di…
  • Location profiles can be handled pretty well with Location X. Easy to set up and worked for me when I was carrying my computer around with me. http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/13855 I would like iCal to update its icon witho…
  • I would rather see Expose let you freeze the windows when they are spread out and even let you tile windows so that I don't have to move around a bunch of windows to clean up things myself.
  • Apple needs market share to remain viable. The eMac is a disaster of a computer that is aimed at a tiny market of children of Mac fanatics. Schools shouldn't buy them as they already have investments in monitors and businesses won't buy them for the…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Chris Cuilla And regarding Microsoft? Well, the jury is certainly still out on whether the "Media PC" is a hit or not. I get the impression that it is not. Just like when everyone was raving about the "Tablet PC"...A…
  • I would like to be able to recategorize the radio stations which have these ridiculous long names and genres in my playlist that annoy me
  • I really think they really just need to chop the monitor off the eMac and charge about $500 for it. Make it an enclosed system without expansion, keep it at a G4 or slow G5. A case that can be vertical or horizontal and you are set. Add televisio…
  • I think that Apple would also be killing the nascent word processor development on the Mac. While they have come under fire previously for this kinds of stuff, this might be considered to be crossing the line. It would be nice if Apple would just…
  • Quote: Originally posted by tacojohn Alright, I have an m505, a .mac account, and an iPod. I've been using iCal and keeping all of my contact in Address Book. Could someone please explain how this whole iSync thing works as far as using the…
  • I think that the argument if you don't want to pay then don't buy it applies now. It DID NOT apply to the crappy alpha software they called 10.0 and the beta 10.1. Only now in this era of true Mac OS X of 10.2 can they legitimately say they have a p…
