  • It's disappointing when Apple replaces a model you just bought, but really they have no choice but to continually refresh the product lines. It's because they're constantly looking for that extra bit that will sway a customer to upgrading. It's …
    in Possible new iBook Comment by michaelb June 2003
  • Daytrading is like sleeping around: the more you do it the more likely you are to catch a disease. That's not to say it can't be a lot of fun. And there are risk management strategies. Okay, I'm going to stop the analogy there.
    in Apple stock is going through the roof! Comment by michaelb June 2003
  • Quote: Originally posted by Blackcat ... the tech worked flawlessly on the late Newtons... To paraphrase the Spaniard from that soppy movie The Princess Bride, "I do not think that word means what you think it means!" The Newtons had some…
    in Mac Tablet Please? Comment by michaelb June 2003
  • Good links, thanks. Definitely does sound like Apple is not going to get into the tablet market for a long time, probably not until they had to if PC laptops morphed into them and Apple was left behind. I guess the only hope for us Tablet-enth…
    in Mac Tablet Please? Comment by michaelb June 2003
  • Quote: Originally posted by MacsRGood4U S.J. recently went on record as saying no tablet, no PDA and no phone. According to this statement I'd say it's not going to happen, don't you think so too? I only remember the "no PDA, no Phone" bit, …
    in Mac Tablet Please? Comment by michaelb June 2003
  • I'd like a Mac Tablet. I use my iBook a lot as a "satellite" machine, and often find myself wanting to check email while standing up, browse the web by tapping the screen, or flicking through a FileMaker database jotting notes into text fields. …

  • If you're saying someone other than he of the jeans and black turtleneck is going to introduce the G5, I say "look at that flying pig!"
    in Wwdc Comment by michaelb June 2003
  • Do you think moki really does know, or just having a little fun with everyone? I could imagine this sort of info is NDA'd tighter than a mermaid's brassiere and even giving "non-info" in the form of cryptic hints would amount to talking about it,…
    in eWeek article on Smeagol and Q37 Comment by michaelb June 2003
  • "Mac" has to be kept. It is important that the machine running the OS bears a connection to the name of the OS. Many people (especially techy people) call PCs by more specific terms: "Windows machine" "Linux box" Everyone's concentrating …
    in 970 - compelling naming scheme Comment by michaelb May 2003
  • I care - they get less margin and therefore have less spare cash to spend on R&D for the 970 PowerMacs...! They've also been laying off a few employees of late, particularly on the QuickTime team. A cashed-up Apple might not necessarily have…
    in Lets count NEW iPods Comment by michaelb May 2003
  • Why are all you people buying from Dell? Isn't that, like, disloyal or something? It'd have to be a pretty hefty discount to make me go near Dell. Even picking up a newspaper with their ugly ads in it gives me the creeps.
    in Lets count NEW iPods Comment by michaelb May 2003
  • Quote: Originally posted by spacemonk Personally I think a tablet right now would go the way of the cube. Yeah, into my hands! I bought a Cube. No one else did because they were perceived as lightweight (poor future investment) for the mone…
    in iTablet is a smokescreen! Comment by michaelb March 2003
  • [quote]Originally posted by satchmo: No one in their right mind will touch current 15.2" Powerbook for the simple fact that they know there's an updated one on the way with probably better features at a lower price. I disagree. There are many p…

  • [quote]Originally posted by JCG: More cryptic BS...Not trying to be a troll, but I'm suprised Apples stock is still above $14.00 with such a cloudy direction of the future of the hardware platform. Well, since the shares are only trading on a pr…
