    in No new Mac Mini or iMac Comment by expat January 2009
  • Any chance that Apple just wants the buzz to keep interest and stock values high knowing that Macworld would be a total flop?
    in Andy Ihnatko's rumor might be true after all.. Comment by expat January 2009
  • Yeah, I'm still a dreamer in that I want an xMac and netbook, but I might be willing to settle for a Mini if it has the right specs. That being said, if Snow Leopard comes out, and it works on Psystar, I'm likely going that way. I can't stand Wi…

  • They have it over at Gizmodo as well: http://i.gizmodo.com/5127161/asus-d2...top-router-box Definitely an interesting box. I wouldn't mind the new Mini being similar to this, although it seems more like an apple TV type box. That being said…
    in Eee PC D200 - what I wish the next mini was like Comment by expat January 2009
  • Not that great. It seems pretty plain, and really, as discussed, its not that unique. That being said, while some people might think it looks good, its only because it hasn't been turned on. You hit the power and see a Vista start screen - then …

    in The Mac Pro Is Way Down The List To Apple Comment by expat December 2008
  • Personally, I'm fine with the current design, I have one at work and I dig it. That being said, I don't like having a mismatched dual monitor - right now, nothing looks good next to it, including an Apple cinema display. If they want a redesign, mak…
    in NPD: Apple's US Mac sales flat in Nov., iMac needs refresh Comment by expat December 2008
  • All I have to say is that they better not kill the firewire port on it.
    in Mac mini makeover considered likely for Macworld Comment by expat December 2008
  • Naturally, the 17" Macbook, iMac, Mac Pro and Mini are all due for some update, refresh or more, so this begs the question: Anyone hear of any shortages? I haven't seen anything about slow supply channels as of yet. Obviously, the christmas shopping…

  • I have no problem with the price of the iPhone, I just don't want to switch carriers to get one. Simply put, if Apple ditched their "one carrier per country" policy, they would move a lot of them.
