  • You also might want to upgrade to 10.21 (Just released on Tuesday). Go to "System Preferences" under the Apple Menu and select "Software Update". I was having some problems waking from sleep on my G4 Cube and this seems to fix the problem. Also…
    in Thoughts from a former PC owner, on Apple, and my new iBook... Comment by nullptr September 2002
  • Apple is doing the best they can in a tough market right now. Look at AMD. They just announced a "substantial operating loss". At least Apple is still making a profit. I think Apple's new "Switch" campaign is a good thing for them. I was on…
    in Apple Financial Warning: Poor sales Comment by nullptr June 2002
  • Why would a browser be an iApp? The only thing I can come up with right now is the ability to synch your bookmarks using .Mac. This would be kind of cool if you used multiple machines for web surfing. I would also hope that Apple optimizes the pe…

  • From an Economic Standpoint If marijuana was legalized, it would create quite a windfall for the government. A whole new revenue stream could be created by taxing the sale of the product. Not to mention all the money that would be saved by the …

  • Gotta hand it to Terrell. Pulling out a pen and signing the Football before giving it to a friend is original and creative. Looks like Terrell "Thinks Different". Bet he's a Mac user.

  • I have a G4 Cube also and have the same problem. Going to sleep works OK, but waking up will give me a black screen despite the fact that the light on my monitor and computer are not pulsating any more. I've found that if I leave it alone for up t…

  • I was actually quite impressed with this release. Sites seem to load a LOT faster. I did some testing against my IE 6.0 browser in Windows (450MHz Pentium III) and 5.21 on my 450MHz G4. While IE 5.21 is not as fast as IE 6.0 in Windows, the diffe…

  • It would be cool to have voice recognition in at a system level. Until then, there is always Via Voice from IBM. I have a friend who uses it all the time and it works rather well.

  • Looks like Microsoft may release their own "iPhone" before Apple does. I hope Apple follows quickly.
    in More iPhone Speculation... Comment by nullptr October 2002
  • With Motorola's history, I would not predict anything too ambitious for the new year. Most likely a modified G4 on .13 process with 512K L2 Cache running at speeds of up to 1.4GHZ. If this is the case, I would predict they call it the G4e (kind of…

    in Apple iCam precedent Comment by nullptr September 2002
  • I don't think the engineering would be that much of an issue. Perhaps the new machines only booting into OSX in 03 is more a marketing ploy. By having this requirement, Apple does two things. 1. Encourages more companies/people to make the mig…
    in Hardware Implications of OS X Only Boot Comment by nullptr September 2002
  • Perhaps Apple is doing this as a favor to Motorola. All dualies means almost twice as many chips sold. As odd as this may sound (Apple helping Motorola despite the mess that Motorola put them into), it makes sense. If Apple is using another vendo…

  • If Apple moves to Intel, how much do you want to bet that Microsoft will stop development on Office X.

  • Argh. The waiting game continues. Looks like this MWNY will be a coming out party for Jaguar. I guess I would rather a couple of months for a better Powermac than have Apple release some lame exscuse for an upgrade. I just hope the wait is wo…
    in No Powermacs at MWNY? Comment by nullptr July 2002
  • As long as Apple can give us a >30% performance increase at the same price as today's machine, I'll be getting a new Pro machine. Coupled with a Jaguar performance boost, these new machines should scream. Originally, I was going to hold out…

  • [quote]The G5 isn't stated for this year, perhaps the end of 2003. Argh. This is one rumor I hope is wrong. If Apple can't deliver a G5, I certainly hope that they can squeeze a lot more speed out of the G4. Anything less than 1.3 GHZ machine…
