It is possible for an airport employee to open a box while in transit. After 9/11, all cargo has to remain unlocked and easily opened in the case of random inspections. Customs agents and Airport security can open any package at any time. In the pas…

Is it still under warranty?

When did the ibook have a 933MHz processor? It seems that the ibook jumped from a 900MHz G3 to a 1GHz G4 in the last transition. Do you have a Powerbook instead? Also, does your co-worker have a PB G3 or a PB G4. It makes a big difference. Any…

Quote: Originally posted by Rhumgod PowerBook7,1 and PowerBook7,2 are based on the SMU_Neo2 platform plugin, which is defined in the source for AppleMacRISC4PE.kext as G5/U3/K2 platforms. Read that as 970fx with PowerTune. Freescale will not be…

One of our Powermacs couldn't mount disk images and audio CDs after the update. It seems the 10.3.5 software update was missing a few crucial files. In order to get the missing files, I've downloaded the 10.3.5 combined update from the Apple Webs…

Here's what I've been thinking. If I'm factually wrong at some point, please forgive me. This is just a personal opinion. The personal computer industry has been growing as a whole every year. Apple has been growing too but not quite keeping up w…

Let's see: 1. Apple doesn't include enough RAM. Since Apple is trying to sell an elegant user experience. An experience that tries to avoid the user tampering with the insides, I find this inexcusable. This can still be fixed before it goes on sa…

A consumer computer purchase is driven by want, not need. It's not like they are going to use it for work or anything. If a consumer wants something, they will buy it; even if they will never use it. I'm sure you all have friends that bought a S…

Gaming is an important feature of a "consumer" computer. The iMac does the other things very well: Internet, e-mail, digital hub, and the occasional word processing/taxes. But if Apple is serious about increasing marketshare in the consumer space, g…

-
Only the entry-level model won't have a Superdrive right? And it is still possible that it may have a Superdrive option as BTO. Why is everyone so worked up? But now that I think of it, the iMac's graphics card makes it unable to play a lot of th…

Mostly as expected. But what's up with the graphics card?

If both formats use the same codec (which seems to be true at this point), then the Blu-Ray theoretically could have better picture-quality because of its higher storage capacity. Blu-Ray can fit a full-length movie with less compression.

I'd have to respect TednDi's positive views. But realistically I think the component that the iMac is waiting for is the G5. Didn't Apple say that somewhere? My hazy memory tells me that the times when Apple adopted new tech first are very limite…

I don't think Apple will take sides on this one for a while. Let me try to simplify this a little. (Sorry if I oversimplify.) Blu-ray is the superior technology specifications-wise. It has higher storage capacity and more support from the big …
