  • I hate when people try to sound like they know what they are talking about, but still can't remember that processor speeds are measured in hertz, not bytes. (2.4 GB? by today's standards, that's a pretty lame hard drive size.)
  • It would be really cool if there was just a "games" folder that appeared on your ipod's desktop folder when plugged into your mac. You could just download as many games as you want, and easily remove or add more. There are lots of cool games that I …
  • Funny, I was wondering the exact same thing. If anybody has pictures of the front of this thing, post 'em here!
  • It's very possible that this is an old case that apple was using back in 2001, when working out the layout for the new MOBO. I think that this looks a bit unrefined to be a final release. The new case could have the same internal layout, but differe…
  • [quote]Originally posted by eddively: care to break out anything else for us there Gizwald? Sorry, I just find it kind of funny when someone feels so sure about something, but then they are proven an idiot. It's less funny when it happens to…
  • [quote]Originally posted by canyon24: Ok boys, I know that the thought of new PowerMacs is exciting, but the reason that the rumors are so contradictory, and diverse is because that is what Steve wants. There WILL be new powermacs, at the show…
  • I would like to see a revivial of the cube. But, not exactly in the same form that it existed before. I think that it might be a good idea for Apple to introduce a small tower, with an expandable AGP slot, (with enough room for as standard card)…

  • Here's my solution. And I think this could make everyone happy. Include the commerials in the broadcast of the program, but the program would contain some sort of metadata to tell the PVR which is the commercial and which is the show. Then you could…
  • USB 2 WILL NOT REPLACE FIREWIRE. If you think that it will, read the previous sentence. USB 2 does not work well for video. Yet. But, if future versions of USB do resolve the throughput and power supply issues, and USB 3 replaces FW2 in digital v…
  • [quote]Originally posted by the_unknown_source: Though do you guys remember when some Sawtooth models initially did not come with modems? Not just sawtootstshs... My B&W 400 has no modem. And I don't miss it.
  • [quote]Originally posted by Ebby: Nah, Bluetooth is close to 802.11. I've read about a 802.11b/bluetooth PCMCIA card that should be released sometime soon. If Apple does build their own bluetooth thingys, it will probably be integra…
  • Yeah, long live the modem. I think that the modem may be replaced, though, when bluetooth geets a good solid foothold. Modems take up a very small ammount of space, maybe Apple could remove the internal modem, and have an external, tiny modem that c…
  • Here's what I think. Apple wil use multicore G3s for low end machines, after the G5 comes out. If I remember right, Multicore chips are in IBMs future, and the G5 is in Moto's future. Apple won't abandon altivec anytime soon, they've invested a lot …
  • [quote]Originally posted by Spart: Apple will also use Tuesday to announce news of its own. Christ, did you even read the article? Yes, I did, but I read it a few days ago. I was just going of memory, and the headline. I guess I should ha…
  • Just a thought... Seems everything that I've read says that it will be an announcement from SJ, not Apple. Don't forget that Steve also is CEO of Pixar. Maybe the announcement involves both? A new rendering solution involving all of the recent sofwa…
  • Yes, stop saying it's a fake, it's obvious, everbdy knows. This is more like what I had in mind, though. More USB on the front, less FW, Two drive bays (maybe even an option for two optical drives), some sort of a grate over the speaker... And th…
  • [quote]Originally posted by Paul: wow, beating yourself is pretty tough... Not really, I do it all the time.
  • I'm sorry, MrBillData, what exaclty are you talking about? When you say sample rate, do you mean bitrate? Why would you rip from a CD a 92 Khz, when they are only sampled at 44.1? Bitrate vs sample rate... Big difference.
  • Personally, I'm a minimalist, I'd rather see audio files get smaller and better, than the hard drives get vast ammounts bigger. Sure, more capacity is good for holding more files, but I'd way rather make the most of the space that I have. I wonder i…
