Fantastic laptop! So, the logic went that since they were no longer PowerPC computers, "Power" had to go. But, PowerBooks were called PowerBooks some years before the PowerPC even came out (when the Motorola 68020 was the chip inside them) so …

At first I thought people who had just bought an iMac G5 would be so pissed. Then I saw how slow emulated Photoshop appears to be (or maybe they were just very demanding composites?) Until native apps are more common, the iMac G5 is probably a…

The Lanyard style in-ear earphones are very interesting. I actually bought a nano + lanyard combo a few months ago just for use at the gym. They work extremely well together. I can imagine the in-ear styling would be even better, because it w…

Anyone tried it with a PSP? My PSP couldn't hook up to the Base Station using WPA with firmware v5.6 so I had to downgrade it to v5.5. Am interested to see if this was one of the "3rd party" issues fixed.

While I'd really like to see a bumped Mac Mini + infrared receptor port + Apple Remote + Front Row bundle, to make a kick ass home theater system, the timing would mean it would have to be something like a 1.5 GHz PowerPC G4, 512MB, 80HD, ATI 9200 s…

My take: 1. The colors are similar, but have a deeper contrast in the Apple ad. 2. The Apple ad adds white paint splashes on the ground as the first person is walking. 3. The Lugz ad is set in a subway, with a train and station furniture…

Who needs the rumor mill. The next Mac is obvious if you complete the following pattern: 1. iPod & iMac 2. iPod Mini & Mac Mini 3. iPod Nano & _________ I've got a shirt pocket and it's waiting, Apple!

Hmm... I have a couple of weeks worth of audiobooks, including the complete Dune series (in itself a mammoth amount of audio!), and this is the first time I've heard there is actually an 'Audiobooks' section! I'd better pay more attention to the…

Quote: Originally posted by alcedes I don't think it is impossible. Archos put a CF card reader in their 20 gig gMini 400 and it is about the same size as an iPod. On the otherhand I do agree with you on support for all card types. If you cho…

I wonder how fast it can show photos? My old Coolpix takes about half a second per image, but a friend's digital camera can zoom through a SD card at lightspeed. If it can get to 30 per second, (or 25 if you're in a PAL country), there's your …

Totally impressive, but only iPod 3? I mean, the power of something capable of creating immersive realtime rendered movies with synthesized Jack Nicholson creeping up behind you... If *that* was iPod 3, what rev are we in now - iPod 0.01 ?!

If the rumor sites are true and the only new hardware is iPod related, and the emphasis is on music, then it becomes less MacWorld and more cross-platform-music-gadget-World. Now I'm very pro iPod (had a 1st Gen and now have a 30 GB 3rd Gen) but …

They're not the same price: the 17" PowerBook includes a screen, the Dual G5 2.0 requires you to buy a Cinema Display. The PB is an all in one solution. The G5 is a workstation with over three times the power. The G5 is expandable and can tak…

Another explanation is that they simply edited the existing text from the old 17" PowerBook. It's not the first time old information has been left in.
