    in Next Mini - which Sandy Bridge CPU? Comment by ompus June 2011
  • Laptops fill niches. The niche of the small, widescreen laptop serves the air-warrior. Next time you fly check out all the people trying to work on their 14" plus laptops while flying economy.

  • Frank Lloyd Wright built beautiful houses which sucked to live in. Yes, he'd meet with the people who inhabited his buildings, and yes he'd design FOR them, but that didn't save his design decision's from being paternalistic. The best quote I …

  • A 60 inch monitor displaying 1080p would be nice. But how many existing 40 inch plus LCD/Plasma screen monitors can display 1920 x 1080? And at what cost over 720p?
    in The need for speed and the threshold of HD Comment by ompus May 2005
  • Excuse my ignorance... don't you need a monitor capable of displaying a minimum of 1920 x 1080 pixels if you're going to watch 1080i/1080p video? Put differently, what good is 1080i/1080p video on an 20" iMac G5? (Just shy at 1680 x 1050).

  • From apple's website: "If you have firmware version 6.1 or later for an AirPort Express base station, or firmware version 5.5 or later for an AirPort Extreme Base Station, you can use WPA Personal security on your WDS network." So, having disc…
    in Airport Express WiFi repeater coming? Comment by ompus May 2005
  • Comments: 1. Part of the appeal of Airport Extreme is that it offers WPA encryption. The Airport Express doesn't. 2. Why should't the mini be able to act as an Airport Express? 3. How many pseudo-HD movies + Audio can you store on a min…
    in Airport Express WiFi repeater coming? Comment by ompus May 2005
  • Apple can do an updated MacMini anytime it wants. There's no engineering costs to bumping processor speeds or upgrading discrete components like drives and RAM. More specifically, I see no technical barriers to prevent Apple from currently shipp…
    in Updated Mac mini? Comment by ompus May 2005
  • I had quicktime pro 6. Upgraded to QT7. 10 minutes later, I downgraded back to 6.

  • The first question to ask is when Antares will be ready. This, of course, depends primarily on IBM. Apple can cheer, cajole and bribe IBM to hasten the pace, but I seriously doubt IBM is dragging their feet. In other words, Apple's still hostage …
    in Poll: When Will We See Dual-Core 970MP "antares?" And Next Gen G5 chips? Comment by ompus May 2005
  • I think it's important to remember this: if Apple can put a 1.67 Ghz G4 in a 15" powerbook, they can put a 1.67 Ghz G4 in the mini and the emac without any engineering/heat issues. So...the only thing holding back the appearance of 1.67 Ghz G4's…

    in Mac mini Rev. B Speculation Comment by ompus March 2005
  • I think we'll see a simple speed bump, followed by a real revision in form. The bump: Price points stay the same. Processors bumped to 1.5 & 1.67 Mhz. Standard memory bumped to 512 Mb. Video card upgraded to full Core Image compatibil…
    in Mac mini Rev. B Speculation Comment by ompus March 2005
  • Everytime I drop by this thread I get excited. I don't know if Apple ever thought about the "slice" concept, but I'm sure there design teams are working on it now. Designing stackability into the miniMac involves only the modest aesthetic chan…
    in Apple Mac mini as a new Platform Comment by ompus March 2005
  • Virtually no-one has actually programmed for this chip. What tricks IBM and team have figured out, and precisely how difficult it will be to use the cell, are intriguing but open questions.
