  • If anybody believes that Apple would not enter the digital PHOTO or digital VIDEO or CELLPHONE market because of competition you don't know Apples from Applesauce. I believe you will see a new iDevice coming this season. Apple is a minority play…
    in Expect a new device, but no new CPUs Comment by jpf October 2002
  • Yea, I heard the arguements over and over. My bet is Apple will produce digital lifestyle products. They sell ideas, they don't sell products. You buy a digital camera to keep memories, you buy camcorder for those special times with family. This…
    in Will iPhoto 2 herald a new iDevice? Comment by jpf October 2002
  • I believe there will be (1 or 2) iDevice(s) for both iphoto and imovie. Competition has got nothing to do Apple going to a market. Do you guys think the computer industry is competitive? It is a competition nightmare. I think if Apple gets 5% of…
    in Will iPhoto 2 herald a new iDevice? Comment by jpf October 2002
  • Good idea, I like it and have been thinking about something like this for a while too. I think Apple has to offer a headless Mac for under $500 bucks! Gawd, they are getting killed in the sub-$500 market. Go and configure a PC at Dell or Gateway …
    in Predicting: iServe Comment by jpf September 2002
  • Brother. Apple is not going to make a x86 Mac. Not going to happen. Why do you people believe in that magical x86 crap. Gawd. Here's my rough dream list of what I see at the end of the 2003 year or early 2004. $499-$799 1.0Ghz G4 Cube $999-$1…
    in 64bit CPU (GPUL) from IBM and Apple Comment by jpf September 2002
  • If anything, Apple will release a low cost sub $500 PowerPC based G4 desktop Macintosh. Not ANY x86 crap. Gawd. Apple has to address the sub $500 market with a machine. This market is growing like 100 flod everyday. Every major PC OEM (except for…
    in Apple on x86: Redux Comment by jpf September 2002
  • Of course, I personally went to every developer in the world and asked them myself. It took a long time, about 6 months. They all said no, they haven't received any OSX x86 seed code to run on Apple x86 Hardware. And then they ask me, how the he…
    in Apple on x86: Redux Comment by jpf September 2002
  • Yea right. Same story over and over, blah blah blah. Funny how NO DEVELOPER has ever received any SEED CODE for OSX x86. That would be a nightmare and its been talked about to death here. Puck. However, if Apple could bring back the CUBE G4…

  • [quote]Originally posted by rok: here's my big question: why call it "iceland"? all the other apple codenames make lots of sense (wolf, presley, david's stone, glove), but iceland? why? what's unique about iceland? that fits with this strateg…
    in Project "Iceland" Comment by jpf September 2002
  • Thinking again about the interface of the iPod and could it be used as a phone interface, I remembered reading an article from Jakob Nielson about the telephone interface. (fyi, jakob is considered a top guru in usability) I found one of his old art…

  • [quote]Originally posted by Flounder: One, I highly doubt every cell phone sold a year from now will play your MP3s because not everyone wants to drop $500 on a phone. Two, I want to own an MP3 player, I DO NOT want to own a cell phone. So…

    in Project "Iceland" Comment by jpf August 2002
  • A thought on this, given that there is a cell phone market. Given that there is a MP3 market. If the cell phone industry wanted to add MP3 capibility to their phones, why wouldn't they want to do that? They've already added contacts, calendars, game…

    in IBM's Cell Technology to be used in Macs? Comment by jpf August 2002
  • So would Macromedia buy worth the $400 million? I think so. Just having all those products, Jezz, they have a ton of stuff to pick and choose from.

  • Dear Gawd! A teraflop in 2004? " While the processor's design is still under wraps, the companies say Cell's capabilities will allow it to deliver one trillion calculations per second (teraflop) or more of floating-point calculations. It will hav…

    in IBM-PowerPC Comment by jpf August 2002
  • With the amount of shares I own, I sure as hell would not allow buyout of Apple. I don't think Jobs would won't such a thing. Apple defines the computer industry, THEY INNOVATE, and like all artist, march to the beat to their own drums. The crazy on…
