  • If anything, Apple should drop FW400. Why? Because FW800 ports are backwards compatible. You just need a cable or adapter with the appropriate connections. The FW consortium went with the new connector for a very good reason. They should start …

  • Tee hee... Quote: EFI and BIOS Macs use an ultra-modern industry standard technology called EFI to handle booting. Sadly, Windows XP, and even the upcoming Vista, are stuck in the 1980s with old-fashioned BIOS. But with Boot Camp, the Mac can o…

    in Apple to buy Palm? Comment by arty50 February 2006
  • The next thing to show up will be 802.11n. Intel already has a chipset for 802.11 a/b/g/n. And they just played an important part in ratifying the standard for n. http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20060112-5963.html
    in New technologies? Comment by arty50 January 2006
  • Maybe they dropped FW800 because Intel doesn't have support for it yet. We know that Intel makes boards with FW400 suppport. Anything with FW800 support?

    in Why wasn't this the iTunes phone?... Comment by arty50 October 2005
  • Actually, I have a question about this. What's the point of the remote if you can't see what you're doing? It would be nice if you could hook the new dock up to a tv and the tv displayed Front Row. But as I understand it, the remote just controls…

  • This is why I bought a ReplayTV instead. TiVo appears to be selling their soul piece by piece to big content. The 30 second skip keeps getting axed. None of the DirectTiVos have true Series 2 features (namely HMO and ethernet capability). Mean…

  • People just don't appreciate the impact of the Playstation franchise. If you thought the US launch was crazy, the Japanese lauch made it look like a walk in the park. If you remember, at the time of the PS2s launch DVD players were very expensive.…
