  • Quote: Originally posted by MacMatt With new displays on the way, could it be possible for the next iMac to be a cube without a display attached? Totally agree. I can't see Apple announce new displays only at WWDC without a new box (either C…
  • If the rumors about new flat panel screens are to be believed and Apple waits to announce these at WWDC, I can't help but conclude that there will be a new hardware box (new cube or xStation) to accompany them.

  • Quote: Originally posted by kormac77 What if Steve announce New workstation class PowerMac G5 at WWDC ? If the new screens are kept in reserve until the WWDC, there must be a good chance that either a headless SP G5 or xStation is contempor…
  • Periodically, Apple really gets its act together and offers a remarkably aesthetic and functional product. IMO, the last time this happened was with the introduction of the cube - the screen, keyboard, mouse and cube were a truly great match. In…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Concord The easiest answer is that it is simply a PC world out there. In fact, "PC" has become synonymous with the word "Computer". Apple is regarded now as just a fringe computer. People want what they use at work, wh…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Concord Unfortunately the real reason can be summed up in just 2 letters - P and C, and the increasing ubiquity thereof. The simple fact of the matter is that the overwhelming majority of people simply don't give a rat…
  • Quote: Originally posted by jasenj1 I just hope Apple doesn't put too much focus on that segment of the market. I think there are plenty of "prosumers" and general business users who aren't married to Apple's apps but prefer the PMac line to iMa…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Res Regarding the G5 - I'm sorry, but with the superfluous feet and handles, and the cheese greater mesh, the towers are not minimalist -- they might not exactly fit into art deco, but that's what came to mind when I f…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Res and I would have greatly preferred Apple to have used different color. ...such as?
  • Quote: Originally posted by Res (LOL -- I like the rhinestone quip). The designs don't really have much to do with minimalism. The towers are more Art Deco, and the color white, which Apple has grown so fond of, is no more minimalist then be…
  • At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles t…
  • Quote: Originally posted by ipodandimac No CD drive??? um this is the 21st century! I think if someone needs something that portable, a PDA would be more than sufficient. If you could run a full-blown version of OS X on a PDA (with a u…
  • Segment the 12" offering into 2: 13.3" PB (same specs as 12") or beef up the screen on the existing 12" and 10" PB - slimmed down, ultra lite, ultra thin and ultraportable, no [Edit: CD] drive, purely for the traveller. Make syncing with a d…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Carson O'Genic People have stated that the Wintel laptops are kicking Apples behind. I can't comment since I won't and don't touch the things. Out of curiosity, I would be interested to hear from anyone who does use …
  • Quote: Originally posted by MacsRGood4U Those analysts that said retail wouldn't work for Apple were wrong. It wouldn't and didn't work for Gateway! Absolutely. The key point of difference is that when you play in a commodity market (such a…

  • Quote: Originally posted by twinturbo are you sure that a large percentage of people who are buying stock right now aren't shorting it? They may be seeing the current situation with no updates, dry supply lines, etc., and thinking that the stock…
