LCD Arms (Innovative Office Products) has the most capable and versatile arms I've found, and they even have a page specifically for Apple products! http://lcdarms.com/LCDarms/apple.asp Nevertheless, the arm I find most amazing is their: ht…

limtc: How about ye old set-top box? Not exactly mobile, but could use wifi a la Airport Extreme. Maybe Apple is finally introducing an HD Tivo(-like) media box that also consumes wireless (for multi-room, iMovie broadcast, etc.)? I'd buy th…

Gak! The initial message by kormac77 is the one I meant to link. Here's a better link: Initial kormac77 post. Cheers.

DaveGee: I suspect (and hope) you're on to something. One of the reasons the G5 introduction was so well received was because Apple pulled all technology stops in their design: S-ATA, latest graphics accelerators, whisper quiet, USB2, FW800, …

aemv is a poster after my own heart! Off the top of my head, the only caveat I have to his post is that the video iPod will likely only be available in a larger size (prolly not the smaller sizes). So maybe only available in 60G. Also, I can …

Zapchud: I should have connected the dots in my post. The posted service manual pic has a large heat sink with a very prominent "G5" on it. So, we're getting another G5. If the 975/980 warrants a new G6 moniker and the service manual machine i…

If the AppleInsider pics are authentic, I'm afraid we know that the next generation G5 will be just that... a Power4-based G5 (i.e., 970fx). If it were Power5-based 975/980, then I suspect Apple would use G6 (i.e., next generation) as the moni…

I'd be delighted with dual 3.0GHz (Power5 derived) 975's. Do the calculations. Before: 2x2.0 = 4.0GHz speed. After: 2x3.0x1.3(power5 hyperthreading factor: 1.2-1.4) = 8.0GHz speed I.e., double-speed in one keynote! Add in PCI-X graphics, …

One potential speedup I haven't seen mentioned is a new compiler backend. I believe sometime after BigMac made its appearance, IBM announced a commercial compiler for PPC which takes advantage much better of the G5 (than does gcc --- which Mac OSX …

My interpretation of MS's heady hardware requirements for 2006 Longhorn is 1. Longhorn is do or die for them (otherwise, Linux, OSX, et al.) win, and 2. The only sure way they can get customers to buy their OS is without their choice --- i.e…

Messiah: I like the direction you're suggesting for the monitors and agree. I would add the SuperDrive as an option to the chassis as well. I can see a 30" with a large base where a Superdrive could be a low-profile option. I agree on the US…

LBB et al.: I agree Apple needs to grab the spotlight with a good value machine. I notice Apple is now doing retail store Business Wednesdays which shows they know Apples should be going into business. They also have the Xserve to open the door…

The Power5 is the precursor to the 980 (a baby Power4 analogous to how the 970 is a baby Power4). It's interesting to note that the Power5 is starting out at 13 micron about the same time that 9 micron becomes available for the 970. Power5 isn't…

There's one thing Apple would definitely bring which I would heartily welcome to digicams: firewire Downloading pics takes too long with USB. The digicam makers just don't get it. The latest wizbang Canon G5 was just announced with..…

I would love a cube, but... It would have to be no compromise CPU speedwise, and GPU speedwise. Realistically speaking, I would settle for a silent tower that has full CPU (duals nice) and GPU and is silent. The portables are about as fan-fre…

Thain: I created the thread to share my brainstorm that "Year of the Portable" could be well defined by Steve demoing PowerBook's which beat (or compare favorably) with Wintel towers. I used the work "benchmark" to define the comparison since, i…
