  • The problem with using a 30" Cinema display for that purpose is the lack of inputs and HDCP. The HDCP issue will definitely affect you if you wish to watch next generation hardware formats at full resolution. Dell and HP have those options on their …

  • So when does everyone think we're gonna see 8-core Pros? Would MWSF be too early for Apple to have them in shipping quantity? I'm curious to see if the price/performance difference will get better with 4 and 8-core systems as options in the Mac P…

  • Well... more and more web developers have been moving toward standards-compliant sites so that everyone receives a similar experience. You're going to find that IE-only sites are not only diminishing, but are frowned against unless it is part of an …
  • How do you think how this will affect the Mac Pro line? Two dual-core and two quad-core offerings and adjustment in pricing for the current ones? I imagine the beast at the top will run a pretty penny. I was wondering what would be happening t…
  • I just got my sister's Macbook in from repairs yesterday and it seems ok after an hour of use or so. I need the a/c adapter to further test it before the battery would end up running out on me. She was having a problem with the ethernet jack not …
  • Glad to here that the product matrix increasing looks like it will break down this way. Yonah, Merom, Conroe, Woodcrest. I'm hoping to get my hands on a Mac Pro in the coming year and a Conroe powered one left more to be desired. I plan on running m…
  • This is admittedly more than a computer audio setup, but Logitech's Z-5500 Digital is a ridiculous bargain for the money. I've had one in my house for a year and it's serious stuff. I've seen them go on dealmac for around $250.
  • When Adobe first started courting Macromedia, you could see that Macromedia was trying to widen Flash's capabilities with technology like Flash Paper, a rival format to pdf in some cases. I think that Adobe noted this as well and felt that buying Ma…
  • I'm not terribly taken by the stand-alone app idea either, but there are some good uses for it. I've made a few web/cd-rom projects that essentially take a flash site and link it to other documents and apps and convert it for disc distribution. It p…
  • Nintendo is offering the most unique systems and games out there and their strategy is certainly a different one. Like Apple, they distance themselves from competitors via the experience more then the specs. Have you seen how hyped up critics and co…
  • It makes sense for them to be visible at E3 since the Intel transition is taking place, the beta release of BootCamp has been out, etc. They can get some good visibility and hands-on play with gamers and get them to comment and think about Apple off…
  • Yeah... there are some design issues with the phone that aren't being addressed all that well. It appears to be an attractive gadget at first glance. The keypad needs texture or a raised/inset area for your fingers to feel what you're dialing/tex…
  • Since they did do the bump fairly recently, I doubt you'll see the 30in getting another update soon. I would suspect that the next good release window for Apple will be around WWDC when they look to be bringing out the new Intel Powermacs. The pairi…
  • Well... if you have access to a pc remotely, you can access the system via VNC. There's some talk of Chicken of the VNC in the Apps fora and you could probably search to find out more posted here. I've seen some intranets that were built around p…
  • I can't wait for a multi-OS Macintosh. It'll be great for plenty of people and industries that require the use of more than one platform on a day to day basis. I'll be able to check any browser compatibility issues on the same machine instead of hav…
  • One comment missed so far... you're running only 512mb of ram. Throw another 1gb or so at that bad boy along with Tiger and that rig should sing.
  • I'm definitely waiting during this round of upgrades, but as I do for every time one comes around. You can't change a major part of your workflow without knowing what potential harm may lay in wait. We're prepping to go to CS2 soon as it seems that …
  • Not that I'm saying it is necessarily a good idea or not, but it would be cool to see what the apple design team might be able to come up with. Imagine if the -book was sold with an integrated iPod-like solution. I'm saying, it would come with the l…
  • I've seen two bugs that emerged in recent versions of Safari (starting somewhere from version 10.3.8 - 10.3.9 / 10.4-10.4.2) that are presentation related. Placing an animated gif in the background of a div and then nesting another div inside of …
