  • I'm gonna say MWSF will see speedbumped towers. Lots of SW talk. One more thing... displays? seems that displays would only be "one more thing" worthy if they do release a 30" HD display. I hope apple does bump the PMs at MWSF (or around that…

  • If you really wanted to, why not buy VPC (you'd have to find an older version, i think version 5 will run in OS) with Windows 2000. Then install the windows version of iTunes and buy all the music you want. Seems like a rather complicated solution,…
