[quote](The last incremental improvements to the TiBook and iBook were in April and January, respectively.) As we all know, the iBook was last updated in May, 2002. I hate when such details are goofed. (Grrrrr....)

I thought it was a typo--the plural -s was dropped from "latest products."

Curious to see if the 867x2 will have L3 cache of any significance. It'll have a SuperDrive (cripes, the eMac's getting a SuperDrive). Grab a cheap CRT 21" monitor, and that's a pretty good DV/DVD authoring system.

So, if a new iBook were to have a polymer battery, would that be used instead of or in addition to the user removable battery bay? I suppose both would add too much weight, and if battery life becomes a true six hours, a moot point.

Unless those specs are purely for education. That said, introducing (or shipping) new consumer/edu iBooks in September--a full 11 months after previous hardware boosts (14.1" notwithstanding)--is crazy (but this is Apple, I suppose). Classes have be…

16.3" @ 1280x1024 screen for PB G4? With that Apple's changing the form factor back to 4:3. That's dubious, I think. These specs sound sexier in French (infrarouge--the new Chanel lipstick) [ 04-05-2002: Message edited by: scottiB ] [ 04-05…

I believe Jason was using Canadian dollars.

The Devil. In this case, though, Apple would be copying MicroSoft.

Part of the reason for the lack of DVI (and, I'm sure, ADC) is that few portable projectors have them. The laptops at my office (PowerBooks and Toshibas) are used a lot with InFocus projectors which lack a DVI port. Most projectors in the $1500-$…

Belle, The iMac DVs came out in October, 1999. July, 2000 is when the colors changed to Indigo, Sage, etc. Even then, I don't see a pattern, either.

Sorry, wanted to comment sooner. [quote]Actually, IIRC, there were some SGI workstations which even took this one step further: They had an external connector connected to their system bus (FSB) which could be interconnected (i.e. you then had one…

A HD based digital camcorder adds little to the camera's value and useability, but subtracts a lot:Battery Life: A 2.5 inch, 30 GB, 4200 rpm drive is going to drain a battery quickly because it will be spinning constantly while recording. Couple tha…

Looking at these speeds, I agree about the Apollo non-use. No other reference to innard changes. I wasn't expecting a G5, but I was expecting more than this. Hopefully the dual gigs will be $2999 US.

I remember being shown on certain beige Macs (it wouldn't work on my IIci) that you could push the reset and programmer's button simultaneously on start-up (I think) and have it sound like a car unable to turn over--once you let go, the Mac would co…

[quote]Turn it into the other thing it is, the largest, most accessible resource of popular culture. Imagine what a 12-year old, grad student, heck house bound parent could do if they could rip a Pepsi commercial; convert it for iMovie2 and add thei…

No new PMacs until the LCD rebate expires at the end of January. [ 01-07-2002: Message edited by: scottiB ]

[quote]Well, you either love the design or hate it. How is Apple supposed to know? They should frelling ask! The last thing needed is Apple to market research its designs. First of all, it would add time to market. Secondly, run it through enough…

From the article: "Jobs sketched out the Platonic ideal for the new machine. "Each element has to be true to itself," Jobs told Ive. "Why have a flat display if you're going to glom all this stuff on its back? Why stand a computer on its side when …

The article says that John Lasseter did (or is doing) the iMac TV ad.
