One thing to note that may make you feel even better... I can't currently find the source for this, but as soon as I do I'll post it, but, Windows XP and 2000 have reportedly been unable to run on processors of 2.8ghz and upward. This is do to some…

Maybe Apple will go there own way and introduce some table style technology to the current form factor, there has been suggestions of a stylus to use Inkwell on an enlarged trackpad, that would be more useful than a full tablet for me, may be touchs…

UK Apple store has iBooks at 6-8 days.... More hope?

Ooooh! I had an idea! If (no, when) Apple release this phone with pda capability, I'd love it if they gave it the functionality to act as a remote screen/control for the iPod also. Maybe as well as bluetoothing for iSync, it could act as a remote f…

well, to be honest i'm as pissed as anyone that the new powermacs are a hold over, i don't think it's apples fault they are caught between a rock and a hard place. I never EVER want to use windows, i'd maybe use Linux if there was a decent GUI (and…

[quote]Originally posted by Thereubster: What i want to know is WTF did the "famed" 1.4, 1.6 Ghz G4's go???!?!? The 1.4's and 1.6's are PPC7470 Processors, the new PowerMacs use PPC7450 Processors which currently max out at 1.25mhz

spoke to my support consultants today, they wouldn't tell me much but i could tell they were excited....what they did say was that they 'have seen the new powermacs' and they told me that 'all the rumors are right, in principle, just not in the deta…

Sorry to potentially disagree... Just thinking about the PPC/Linux thing... If Apple really wanted to lock OSX away from other PPC mobo's surely it is possible by adding something to there boards that can only be bypassed by reverse engineering, w…

Hi, Here's my take from the UK... I think that Apple will announce the new PowerMacs at an event on the 13th (the Flint Center diary being unavailable online is a good indicator) BUT they won't be shipping/available till the 24th as they will come…

[quote]Originally posted by Blackcat: LBB, I think your LAST RESORT description sums up Mac x86 well. There really isn't much wrong with the Mac in areas which count on the balance sheet. We're not too hot in 3D but that could well be about to c…

Just my comment on this thread thats been running forever! I think a lot of you have missed the point of moving to another chip. If Apple move to another chip, for the sake of argument say it's Intel's next big offering, then there are several t…
