I'm just surprised all the NDA goodness from WWDC hasn't leaked out. I don't expect a G5 at MWNY 02, but expect something very, very major by MWSF 03. Apple's got to have something to run all this new software they've been buying especially if the …

Touching on POWER, I remember reading a statement by an IBM exec that the next 2 generations of the POWER have been planned. POWER5 will focus on reducing the chip size and power consumption to make suitable for blade servers. POWER6 will be focuse…

Would this announcement be the reason the WWDC was under NDA?

This is interesting coupled with the reported production shortfall by some wall street type with the 15" iMac. Maybe this is what replaces the Cube. It least the majority of the parts would be the same across the iMac line so cost to Apple to roll …

I remember when Bill Gates stated 640K was enough RAM. Enough is never enough. People will find additional uses for the extra resource. I hate when people start sentences with "Well, the average user...". Maybe Apple comes out with a combination…

I bought a 10 GB iPod because I thought it would be more than enough and I didn't think I had much music to rip. Well, I've ripped most of my CDs (less than 40) and I'm about 50% full (I rip at 160 kbps). I suspect the people who really are into mus…

How about a wireless (Bluetooth?) optical 2 button mouse with scroll wheel? Something like this is what I want. I already have a optical 2 button scroll mouse (logitech).

Just upgraded from a B&W G3/400 to a new G4 733 from CompUSA (close out) for $999 with 3 year warranty, so I'm not in the market until new mobo w/ DDR RAM, ATA-100, FireWire 2, and 1.5+ GHZ G5. Then I'll buy the second generation of that box. I'…

Sorry, but I don't buy it. Unless it's very, very fast and has the same APIs as Altivec (AV), I don't see this as a long term solution. One reason the RTMax card from Promax (not the Matrox RTMac card) was dropped was due to the power of AV and soft…

As someone who just bought a 10 GB version, I don't think 10 GB is a mistake. Expensive? Yes. It is worth every penny. I thought I'd have buyer's remorse, but after using for 3 days, I like it better the more I use it. My PC only friend is going t…

Look at it from another point of view. Because Apple builds the software and hardware, it could get rid of the floppy drive, SCSI bus, and ADB (keyboard connection) from the Mac line in 1 generation (iMac and PowerMac B&W series) and add Firewir…

On the new iMac being a lower margin product From Fred Anderson's phone call after 1st QTR earnings: In fact, one of Apple's new tactics is one that the company has sometimes snubbed in the past: lowering gross margin to sell more units. Ande…

I think Apple has got to come out with much faster hardware soon if they want pros to buy Shake for OS X. It was announced that Shake 2.5 will be the last for Windows. They will still do Irix and Linux. DDR mobo with a 2 GHZ 7460 would be about…

Are these for WWDC in May or MWNY in July? I'm guessing July. I hope something like this is announced to ship in July (or August or September or ...). I've got money for one. My Smurf G3/400 is sloooow ripping MP3 and surfing the web under X.

Nothing new since MWSF and the PM updates in January. The great debate for a while was the Apollo G4 (it's not out! yes it is!). All the rumors have died (no Dorsal posts). Apple killed all the fun with the "NO NEW HARDWARE" statements a few weeks…

I went to Outsider's link and GV's enclosures are impressive. They are charging $500 over the base G4 dual 1GHZ Powermac ($3499). They aren't listed as an Apple VAR or reseller so I wonder how warranty issues are resolved. Apple should work wi…

Apple has to have a very low end iBook to sell to schools. Schools don't want to have to pay the extra $$$ for students to have CDRW (and probably don't want the students to have them). This is the same reason the low end iMac w/CRT is still aroun…

I remember the Performa days where Apple had so many different products that consumers and Pros couldn't keep them apart. I think the line up Apple has now is great. A low, middle and high-end portable. I don't think the 12.1 iBook will be repla…

Apple won't come out with DDR333 the first time they use DDR. They always seem to be a generation behind. As soon as it is standard across the PC industry (read: prices down and proven with all the bugs out), Apple will move to it. Until then, loo…

Barto is correct. The old road maps used to list the 7500 as the G5. So, it's back to the future. We've official come full circle. Jobs must be laughing his a$$ off. To summarize: G5 = 7500 w/ .13 construction and SOI G5 = 8500 w/ .13 construc…
