Ars Technica is a good technical site, and has many very knowledgeable posters. Unfortunately it also has a cadre of arse's that for their own reasons constantly denigrate all things Apple. amateur has just posted a very good summary of the probl…

Quote: Originally posted by slughead I think Apple's waiting for a cable box with firewire that's widely available. Either that or they just don't want to deal with it or don't care. Theoretically they're already available: http://www.macosxhi…

First off, Microsoft raises the bar, however incrementally, with it's third try at Media Center as the "Digital Hub". While Apple seems to miss the boat completely by turning a blind eye to incorporating TV into it's vision of a "Digital Hub", Wha…

Apple mini stores in all major Airports would be a terrific idea. This would give Apple and it's products a commanding presence in a demographic area that is far more tightly focused than even the most upscale Malls. I don't have the data at han…

The modular design and the user serviceability, while no doubt implemented by Apple to save money on repairs, has some significant long term ownership effects and consequences, all of them good. Building the 3G iMac in this way suggests a long te…

There is no "step four" for the iMac line. This third generation iMac is the end of the AIO line. Think about it. Now that the computer is IN the display the options are limited. This concept will be upgraded, and the price will come down, but se…

The call is for HEADLESS! Apple gives us bodyless? Although I am NOT in the "Target Market" for this third swing by Apple at AIO, I do hope that the presumed iPod "Halo Effect" does indeed come through for this product. The white design indi…

Steve has a Gulfstream V to fly in. This jet is as comfortable as any room in his house. I predict that he will show up on stage with the new iMac during "Phil's" Keynote. The news of his "return" to Apple will be as big as the press from the ne…

So might this latest rumor about a 970MP dual core finally lead to my long called for quad Mac? I'm tired of Apple trying to attain parity with Wintel (and AMD) systems. Even if you summon up the MHz-Myth and call the 2.5 970FX a "3200+" a-la AM…
