MacBU was ultimately part of E&D. Its profits, which I have seen reported as the highest per person at microsoft, have bolstered E&Ds bottom line for some time. Now that Allard and Bach are leaving it will be interesting to see how E&D p…

The connector looks fine. It is a standard 'figure 8'. http://www.apple.com/appletv/specs.html Power Built-in 48-watt universal power supply

I cant find an easy spec, but the bottom line for 1394 power is pretty low ( i.Link provides no power ). Macs supply 18v on the firewire bus, I think that they can do a reasonable job of powering a 3.5" drive. But PCs dont have 18v power supplies, a…

The 24" imac supports the vesa mount again. Perhaps they have returned to a more user friendly layout for the machine. I haven't found any dissections of a 24" though.

Apple's figures are comparing year on year numbers. This makes sense because we want to account for seasonality. Gartner are comparing quarter to quarter results. This makes sense because we want to see how Apple compares to other companies ove…

Ive had several wireless routers, and none of them have been reliable. Even the famous wrtg54 would crash while playing games ( had to overclock it ). All up Ive bought, setup and used models from belkin ( worst ), netgear, linksys, dlink, microsoft…

Apple are performing pretty amazingly on a very tight budget, just a few hundred million a year in r&d. I think they are already trying to juggle to many eggs. Little things like isync, which should be getting continual updates are left to langu…

Ive had mine for about a month and a half, and I have to say, it is the best computer I have ever owned. Even better than my Mac Plus. I dont have a TV, so I use it my DVD player/screen. Having a wireless keyboard and mouse have made that very easy…

The Walkman started out as an open system ( audio cassette ) and eventually migrated to a closed system ( ATRAC mini disc ) and died. The iPod started out as an open system ( MP3 ) and is slowly moving its way towards being closed. I think the…

The original iMac G5 needed the chin to hold its powersupply and speakers, and that was the result of the rather beautiful internal layout. The 2nd gen screwed it all up to improve air flow. The intel has plenty of room at the top of the case that…
