Hm... Steve-o announces iSight. I say "Hm, cool, but isn't $149 a bit expensive?" This poll is posted and I vote "no". Alex tries iChat AV, does an audioconference, is pretty amazed by the quality and ease of use, and literally runs out to …

The current Xserve RAID is an ugly hack. It's really two almost completely independent (I think they share the power supplies) 7-disk RAIDs in one chassis. Maybe Apple will get their act together and come up with a real 14-disk solution. Being ab…

Quote: Originally posted by Amorph AGP cards, like PCI cards, can be up to 12" long. It might be longer than a typical video card, but it's within the standard size. The last 4" or so is dead space anyway, just to make it so that it doesn't d…

Yup, my G5 dualie ordered with ground also shows Overnight. (or rather, "Overnite" -- does this mean they don't have to deliver overnight? ) Brand spankin-new iPods and PowerBooks are shipped FedEx International Direct Distribution from Taiwan, …

Yeah, um, little problem here. It's way too tall to fit in a 19" rack horizontally. I really hope that outer handle shell is completely removable. (It looks like it's one solid block of aluminum on the non-access-panel side.) Also, TWO HD bays? H…

Quote: Originally posted by johnsonwax Yes. If Apple were to yank Mach, I can only think they'd go with something like QNX which is equally well-designed but offers additional advantages over Mach. But I don't see it happening unless they buy QNX…

Quote: Originally posted by johnsonwax I'm not ragging on the machine - I love it and expect this to be fixed soon. But I didn't want someone running out buying an Xserve expecting to yank and juggle drives like some of the big RAIDs I've seen, t…

Spy pic: Looks like FlowerPowerMac isn't far off....

Quote: Originally posted by Barto The point here is not a single drive comparison, it is a RAID comparison. And ATA 0wnz j00 price/performance/size. The top end 1U Dell (the Xserve's main competitor) has three 137GB SCSI drives on a single bus. T…

Quote: Originally posted by JLL You can have whatever you want outside that 1U box. Which is why I'm just planning to rackmount a G5 tower. No sense in having a 1U server if you've got to have an external box for one or two drives. Cmon Ma…

Quote: Originally posted by Telomar I'd be interested on the why of that because you can get enterprise spec drives for serial ATA, which is in my opinion a far more appealing alternative than SCSI, now. Show me a 15k SATA drive. Heck, sho…

Quote: Originally posted by audiopollution Yeah, Jack Campbell. Lots of stories about him floating around. I particularly like the "iTilt" "notebook stand", which is -- get this -- a wire library book display frame.
