  • If anyone is that picky about music, ie. 320 KB/s mp3 is not good enough, even for a portable pocket device, then what the heck are you doing listening to crappy old CDs, anyway? Compared to Vinyl, or SACD, Regular old cds sound like a tin can. If y…
    in How long til the 20GB iPod? Comment by gizwald May 2002
  • [quote]Originally posted by Steve's Job: it would be very Apple-like to include not one, but three (3) Foveon chips in lucida, one to replace each CCD sensor that is normally used. Ok, seriously, what would be the point of that? The whole idea o…

  • Here's my anal analysis. If you think that the ramblings of a moron are worth anything, read on. On the "lens" area, I see a dark line in the surrounding grey plastic. Like the kind you would see in cheap, soft plastics. Not very appley. But, thi…
    in Project "Glove" and "Lucida" in July Comment by gizwald June 2002
  • FYI, Lucida means "light". Interesting, too, that "Lucid" means "translucent", and can refer to water. Lucid was also a word Apple used to describe aqua at one point. Coincidence? Probably.

  • Can you say "superdrive"? This is the only thing missing from the TiBook that will make the ultimate "desktop-replacement" notebook. With an 800 mhz G4, your pick of Hard Drive sizes, A great video card, Nutty ammounts of Ram expansion, the ability …
    in What's your ideal portable? Comment by gizwald May 2002
  • Why is is that everyone wants colour on the iPod? What is the point? Do you really need to see the filenames in colour? Colour screens are much more expensive, and probably use more power. (not sure about that one). Some more basic PDA-like function…

  • Yeah, but doesn't look like it has a HD.

  • It's good to see that I'm not the only one who thinks a HD based camera is not too far off. It's things like this that let me convince myself that I'm not crazy.

  • Bah! Accidently deleted, now I have to retype! Anyone else think that IE should have an "undo" feature? VIBRATION and CENTRIFUGAL FORCE. No problems, the way I see it. As DaeargiMan points out, there already is a consumer camera that uses high-…

  • Yes, most compressed video uses interframe compression that makes it tough to edit... DV uses Intraframe, so it takes less processing time. But Apple has pulled of software miracles before, just look at the result that they get using altivec and DVD…

  • Yes, I do plenty of home video editing. Advantages... 1) Mini DV tapes are Linear. If you want to pull video from a Mini DV tape, you have to search through the tape to find the scenes you want, or download the whole tape and remove scenes you…

  • Offline RT would not be acceptable, because it captures at a low bitrate and at 320x240. But if Apple could come up with a new Codec, or find an elegant way to use an existing codec so that you could get at least two hours of footage on the camera, …

    in Name the upcoming server Comment by gizwald May 2002
  • Exactly, naepstn. Why would I pay a whack of cash just so that I can have a 133 Mhz Bus? Other than a superdrive, that is the only other advantage to buying a new machine. And for me, that's just not enough. Plus, I have PC100 Ram in my machine. If …
