  • Does it come with an Apple Tie-Dye shirt and your own bag of weed?
    in Pink iBooks? Comment by kd5mdk December 2001
  • [quote] Apple can introduce new iMacs at 4 - 600 mhtz and leave plenty of room for PowerMacs to go up to 1.2 ~ 1.7 or whatever the rumors are saying. I hope you mistyped that, because if Apple cuts their CPU speed from what it is I'll never deal…
    in what chip for the new i mac, G4 or IBM chip ? Comment by kd5mdk December 2001
  • Actually, my ideal Apple commercial is: "Dude you're getting a Dell! WTF are you thinking? The $Apple_Product kicks its ass in so many ways."

  • [quote] When was the last time anyone actually gave a crap about a Dell or Compaq announcement? Maybe never? Actually, I cared when Compaq announced they were going to be bought by HP. But that's it.
    in LCD iMac "Confirmation" Comment by kd5mdk December 2001
  • How about this question: Will the iMac use DDR? Here's the way I see it: Pro: Slight economies of scale/implification w/PowerMac Will increase iMac performance, and make it a better gaming system. Prevents a new MB from being needed in the…
    in DDR Motherboard Comment by kd5mdk December 2001
  • Probably because DVI doesn't go very far without a whole bunch of extenders and stuff. As for 10Ghz, it was just for example. If I wanted, I could stick Ham gear there, but it would be too much trouble. I'm sure there's some unliscensed bands a…
    in How much bandwidth... Comment by kd5mdk December 2001
  • Dammit, I knew I was forgetting something. Yes, I had thought of 32bit color (your 4Bytes), and passed over it. Same with the wireless bandwidth. However, by going up to 10Ghz or more you can get bigger portions of the spectrum in exchange fo…
    in How much bandwidth... Comment by kd5mdk December 2001
  • Hmm... I wouldn't want to pay extra for it either, unless it could double as a tablet PC you could carry around. But to answer your question, here's what I think: 1024x768 = 786,432 pixels. x 60Hz (that's low) = 41,785,920. That's in bits/sec.…
    in How much bandwidth... Comment by kd5mdk December 2001
  • You know, the Toshiba drives aren't the only little things out there. I'll bet Apple has all the economy of scale they need with the iPod orders right now, so that's not the goal. If they moved up to say small laptop drives, it would be maybe the …
    in Inside info about the new iMac Comment by kd5mdk December 2001
  • Umm... If we had the answers to all these questions, why would we be here instead of working at Apple or somewhere? Just because you raised questions that are not currently answered doesn't mean they cannot be either: a) answered with a little bi…
    in Next non Mac device - iDock Comment by kd5mdk December 2001
  • That's actually an interesting idea. I presume there'd be an uplink (over Firewire, naturally) to connect to your main Mac if you had one? This has the potential to be pretty cool. Or not. The ability to play QT and other movies, etc. would …
    in Next non Mac device - iDock Comment by kd5mdk December 2001
  • You know, it might be interesting to do a comparison/review of MOSR and other sites to look at their accuracy. Someday, when I have time, I might do that.
    in MOSR and Future Harware Accuracy Comment by kd5mdk December 2001
  • Why is it people think the new Mac will have a 400MHz bus? The only thing I know of that does is Intel, and that's only with RDRAM. Do you really expect to see Apple adopting Rambus? I expect PC2100 DDR, which would be with a 266MHz bus.
    in Confirmed: Aqua Hardware acceleration Comment by kd5mdk December 2001
  • Ummm.. Hello? Rick1138 is right on. The only way Motorola can avoid producing a G5 is if they stop selling PowerPC processors. Does anyone see that happening? It may not be at MacWorld. It may not be for a long time. But does anyone expect M…
    in It's official: no G5 Comment by kd5mdk December 2001
  • Well, as long as nobody posts about slimmer Titanium like iBooks due out...
    in What do you guys think about AI's imac roumors? Comment by kd5mdk November 2001
  • I would assume that Firewire takes up way too much bandwidth to work over the ADC. You could add it by sticking a FW cable in the bundle, but there may be interference issues. Either way, it's not really important. USB is designed for these kinds…
    in New FW Based Keyboard? Comment by kd5mdk November 2001
  • Well, I got a Powerbook G4 500 this summer. So I can't really justify or afford a new Mac. If I get an income I'll probably build a PC next semester, and perhaps get a G5 a year and a half from now.
    in When And What Future Computer Will You Buy? Comment by kd5mdk November 2001
  • If no one has noticed, OS X 10.1.1 is already out. Check you software update Edit: Quick note [quote] The 7460 I believe is .13 SOI and seems like it would be more geared to the Powerbook with its low heat dissipation. It should clock at …
    in **MWSF 2002** Comment by kd5mdk November 2001
  • I wonder what Dell knows. I'm sur all major corporations have some people who try to find out what the others are up to. It wouldn't break any NDAs to release other companies' trade secrets, would it?
