Although I do think you make some very valid points, in general I feel that your review comes over as a bit mean-minded. Throughout the piece your comments are couched in a critical style, which I don't feel is entirely justified by the reality of w…

How can they so fundamentally misunderstand the requirements of the UI? A few points: 1. The reason that most people don't use many of the vast number of features that Word offers is that they DON'T NEED TO. There's no need to make it easier to f…

Quote: Originally posted by Gamblor IME, that's not typically how people use memory cards, and it assumes a level of interoperability between devices that doesn't exist (yet). Typically, you'll buy cards for a specific device, and they'll only b…

Quote: Originally posted by Gamblor I think there's a reason why they're called XD Picture cards. In essence, that was the point I was making. xD cards have such limited application compared to the other formats out there, but they don't actu…

You can get external USB flash card readers almost for free nowadays ($30 or so), and they support all the different standards out there (although the horrible Fuji/Olympus xD cards - which won't ever be supported in PDAs/phones etc unless Fuji/Olym…

It's certainly there in the Dabs flyer - I've scanned it in but I don't think I can upload it to the board here (just refer to an alternative location on the web which I can't provide at present). The reference number doesn't bring up a record at th…

Yup - forgot that!!

I want Bluetooth in an iPod together with a car hifi that supports it. Just imagine if you could use your iPod and your cellphone with your car radio, just by getting into the car...

WEll I can see one thing the iPod should have - Bluetooth. Then you could have wireless headsets (maybe the same one you use for your cellphone), wireless connections to car hifis, home hifis etc etc. That would be worth a change in a shorter timefr…

I'm not sure if I'm right here, but I believe this is the first instance of a rumor board coming back and justifying their rumor when it's been attacked. Normally rumors just die in this sort of situation. The following is my take on this: 1. Mac…

How about this: The 970 PowerMacs get released at the end of May, beginning of June in some very big PR event. That way they can totally talk about them at WWDC, because they're already shipping. In addition: 1. They can focus on Panther at…

Personally I would like to see two new devices: 1. An Airport Extreme portable "radio" device that would hook into a wireless network and enable the streaming of MP3s/AACs (via Rendezvous from iTunes 4) and internet radio. This device would have …

As I've said before, I think GPS is a key to a device like this. A tablet with GPS becomes an interactive atlas, and just think of the possibilities for a device like that. Quite apart from travelling around, say you're at home (or in a coffee s…

Assuming the image is not flipped, this board cannot fit into an ATX style case. The slots are at the left of the board (when looking at it as it is in the image) and the connectors are on the right. This is the opposite of the way that ATX format b…

With reference to the otherwise excellently annotated logic board, I think you'll find that the connector labelled as a CD Audio input socket is actually the connector for the front panel switches and indicators etc. It's certainly the same form fac…
