[quote]Originally posted by Amorph: As far as black goes, Apple would have to paint the metal black (which would look horrible once the machine had accumulated some wear and tear) or use a metal other than titanium for the case. You can anodize ti…

Ok. Question ya'll, seein' as I'm getting a little confused by something.... I keep seeing/hearing that Altivec is owned by Moto. Why? The SIMD instructions that comprise AltiVec (Moto), Velocity Engine (Apple), and VMX(? IBM) were developed by the…

[quote]Originally posted by mmicist: A few quick notes: the performance of SPARC is nowhere near good enough to want to shift to it, MIPS is probably on its last legs as SGI cannot afford to keep developing it, PA-RISC development has been side…

Some questions for all the CPU oriented folk here... After looking at the specs (proposed, I suppose) of the MPC8560, I started wondering why Apple couldn't use this chip. Anyone know? I seem to recall that someone around here said the e500 was …

Hmm. Just a comment, since no-one else has said it...this Arman gentleman states outright in one of his posts that he's not under NDA. Dunno how that's possible if he's seen "17 different machines", and his statements sound like he works at 1 Infini…

[quote]Originally posted by Junkyard Dawg: That new tower in the spy photos has some serious cooling capacity. No G4 would need that sort of cooling, it's got to be something else entirely. Remember all those rumors in December and January ab…

Just to add a little (well, maybe very little) fuel... In August 2000, Apple filed for a patent on some graphic tech that seems to be derived from Raycers patents. The team that worked on the new patent are listed, and most came from other compan…

[quote]Originally posted by xype: I think the 1gb sticks made by infineon are quite expensive, about the price of a eMac last time I heared. If I had the chance to buy a powermac I'd go with 2x512 now and again 2x512 a few months later. G…

[quote]Originally posted by BobtheTomato: Stands to reason if we only had the external shots, but whoever did it had time to shoot the interior, pull the proc card and shoot it w/o the heat sink. I mean he could have snuck in a couple times ove…

[quote]Originally posted by BobtheTomato: Now one thing puzzles me, if the processor is so stinking hot that they have to redo the cooling system and they're going with a dramatic reshuffle of the internal arrangement why not put the processor (the…

[quote]Originally posted by TigerWoods99: Wow, I come back, look at ATI's site, and both the Radeon 9000 Pro and Radeon 9700 (R300) have been announced for MAC! ANd it looks like it will be in the same time period as the PC versions. The 900 Pro lo…

[quote]Originally posted by reynard: Pim and Taboo, Regarding speed of different browsers, I just saw an article in the recent Mac World comparing brower speed in OS9 and OSX. Its useful. But, did not compare between Mac and PC. I also found a …

[quote]Originally posted by reynard: pim_fortuyn, good post. And it reminds me of question. I read often that Internet pages load so much faster on PCs. But, is that Motorola's fault of Apple's? In other words, is that simply a processor problem or…

[quote]Originally posted by JCG: You can still buy a PS 1. The PS2 has been out for more than a year and it is outselling the XBox. The cost of a console, especially a year after its release is much lower than that of a computer, and the Game…

[quote]Originally posted by PC^KILLA: Right! With that sort of thinking I suppose you would also exclude any kind of decent audio capabilities for your computer, because you already have a dedicated stereo for that. Whatever.. mika. …

Hmmm. Here's a thought - if Apple needs a gamer machine, why not just bring back Pippin? You're right, gamers spend thousands of dollars making their systems the latest and greatest, then every 1 - 1 1/2 years THROW THE SYSTEM AWAY, to get a fast…

Oops. Forgot to mention in my earlier post. Moto's been bleeding off staff at a pretty high rate. They've all gotta go somewhere....
