  • Man, 164W for a dual 3 giger. Wonder if there is enough room in the case for a small AC unit?
  • Since we are all out fishing about for new PB specs I'll throw in my 2 cents. I dont think that the PB will see the G5 till next year at the earliest. I hope I am wrong, but will not be holding my breath. I think Apple should ifferentiate the Pb …
  • The G5 has definitely gotten me thinking about getting a desktop unit again, especially with the no update to the Powerbook as if yet. I cant buy anyhting till the end of the year, unless some grand price drop happens. Gotta pay for new hardwood f…
  • Yet another solution in desperate search of a problem.

  • The problem I see with tablets using today's technology is that they add little to no value to the market. There are devices out there that can do everything you want to do with a tablet and do it better, smaller and cheaper. For those who walk ar…

  • Quote: Originally posted by Barto It is disappointing that Apple *appears* to have cheated somewhat on the spec test. I would expect better from Apple than say, Gateway. Who compared Quake 3 on a Gateway to Quake 3 running in Classic on an iMac. …
  • Quote: Originally posted by Matsu that 3ghz in 12 months is a subtle hint. It will take at least that long. Obviously, power consumption, heat and price of the PPC970 were all not as favorable as we wanted to believe. Luckily, the performance…
  • I am both stoked and disappointed somewhat. My disappointent comes from the Powerbook arena. I would like to replace my Gen 1 400 TiBk and was hoping that they would make a new PB come to light, even if it was a new Al 15" er. By the looks of thi…

  • My biggest concern for the 608 and other non-GSM Sony phones is reception. Had a 68i for a while and the reception was pure crap. NOTHING inside of buildings... I am hoping this was due to piss poor GSM set up and not the phone itself as I would …

  • My personal belief for the big 5 jumping aboard with Apple is the security issue. M$ is known for crappy code that gets hacked, prodded, pocked, you name it. They know that historically M$ couldnt keep anything secure. Why do you suppose the indi…

  • Seeing Apple gain market share would be great, but not necesariyl the be all end all of good business. Profit is what its about. If you can make a profit at 3% market you can still stay in business. The third party stuff is what worries me and he…
  • Aries 1B, I do everything you mention with my Powerbook, except the spill the wine and break glass to wake the family routine. The problems I see with technology of today running a table is size. The unit would have to be like a powerbook witho…
  • I wouldnt get all that excited about it. I went to the NEC site and the thing looks like a tiny comuter. Kind of like those teeny Sony jobbers. Does not look like a tablet. Dont know why they are caling it a tablet. As for the tablet idea, I st…
  • I agree with McGregor? What is so innovative about Centrino. They have finally caught up to Powerbook battery times and with the otional spare battery they can surpass the Powerbook. Well, so what. Built in 802.11b. Whoopty doo. Powerbooks hav…
  • RIAA will not pick up its bat and ball and go home. ITMS sold 1,000,000 os so songs its first day. That is $990,000 on day 1. If they pick up their bat and ball and leave they will be faced with more pirating and get absolutely squat for it. The…
  • Interesting mentality. I guess the thread serves the VERY same purpose as EVERY other thread on this board and the thousands out there; it answers a question that someone needed answering. You and I may be very secure, or uncaring, about doing bu…
