  • Hey, I'd love Apple to deliver a teleconferencing / videoconferencing i-App. I'm pessimistic that they'd offer full standards support, though. More likely, they'd end up delivering something with a new MPEG4/QuickTime Streaming format, that wouldn't…
    in Is "iTalk" The Next Big Digital Hub Software? Comment by reid May 2002
  • I run OS 10.1.2 on a Bondi iMac. It works fine, except for anything that would access graphics acceleration. Apple and ATI have not yet released drivers for the Rage Pro chip these iMacs, the Wall Street PowerBooks, and Beige G3 minitowers use. You'…
    in OSX on a Bondi Blue? Comment by reid February 2002
  • [quote]Originally posted by aircft.sys.spec.: A tablet costing more? Are you sure about that? No hinge mechanism and one body. And how much could a stylist cost? I think a tablet would be more durable.......the screen behind a nice thick piec…
    in New ibooks? Comment by reid February 2003
  • [quote]Originally posted by MacRonin: For US$25,000.00 I would expect a bit more than 256MB of RAM and a slow-arse 5,400rpm HDD... Um, yeah... I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark and say the guy was poking fun at Apple's consistent polic…

    in What happened to the iPhone rumors Comment by reid November 2002
  • It turns out that the functionality is a little more than I really need day-to-day, but I really do dig my Treo 180. Palm OS, phone, e-mail and web browsing all in a slim, pocket-sized device is pretty damn cool. It's actually able to act almost…
    in (iPod "pro"?) Will iSync work with Danger Sidekick? Comment by reid October 2002
  • Wait a minute - you want an iBook with a G4 and a wide screen? Of course, you do: everyone wants a today's PowerBook for an iBook price! And you can have it - when the PowerBook G5 comes out and everybody starts selling their G4's on eBay.
    in how cool would a widescreen iBook be? Comment by reid September 2002
  • Actually, he's got a good point... If you do have two drives installed, will pressing the eject key just open both of them, or just one? In OS X prior to 10.1.5, pressing the eject key on my keyboard would pop out the tray for the internal iBook …
    in CaddiMac: Is This The Future Design of Optical Drive Bay Doors? Comment by reid August 2002
  • MOSR has been predicting that Quad G4s are just around the corner since just before Apple shipped the first dual-G4 model. This represents the definition of the term "rumor" that is more accurately described as "Meader's wishful thinking." Other exa…

  • [quote] I´ll give you that: After each SteveNote the marked has, without any exceptions, done excatly the opposite of what I had expected it to do. But MOST importantly, Anders, the word is MARKET. with a "T" - not a "D" as you've spelled it rep…
    in Big news probably await us at WWDC 2002 Comment by reid May 2002
  • The online Apple Store is offering refurbished 5GB iPods right now for $339. They come with the same 90-day limited warranty. Good deal?
    in If new iPod, what's price of old one? Comment by reid March 2002
  • Or less than zero. Natch.
    in I SAW THE NEW G5s! Comment by reid January 2002
  • Ah, the bad old days of CEO Michael Spindler. Back then Apple had about a hundred different Performa models (including one with an X86 chip in it for Windows compatibility), and a whole line of overpriced (but very profitable) imaging products such …
    in All this talk about 'iCamera' Comment by reid January 2002
  • Okay, have you seen the other videos and pictures posted? If that's a fake, it's the coolest and best fake ever. The bootup.mov, which shows the image on the screen rotating with a quick spin of the dial - amazing. And, it DOES have a color screen, …
    in iWalk is fake. Comment by reid January 2002
  • I've now seen all the videos and pictures posted. If that's a fake, or a fan mockup, it's got to be the coolest and most convincing one ever. Bootup.mov, which shows the image on the screen rotating with a quick spin of the dial is amazing. And, it …

  • Regarding the port of Mac OS X to Intel hardware... Didn't Be already try that (and ultimately fail) with the BeOS? Didn't NeXT already try that (and ultimately fail) with OpenStep? Didn't IBM already try that (and ultimately fail) with OS/…
    in Apple Hypes MWSF 2002 Comment by reid January 2002
  • I used to have a wireless TV. It got like 12 channels, and you had to adjust some funny metal thingies that stuck out the top, but it didn't cost me $50 a month.
    in Cool 802.11 stuff Comment by reid December 2001
  • We're hardly talking about future hardware here, but my original Bondi iMac has run at 1024x768 since the day I first turned it on. While the default setting was 800x600, things seemed comically large at that resolution. Now that it's running 10.1, …
    in Potential screen let-down on LCD iMac Comment by reid December 2001
  • While I don't think there's any more danger in selling flat panel monitors to schools than to anyone else, I do agree that it would be wise to keep around an ultra-cheap CRT-based option. Even if they offer it only to the education channel, I bet th…
