NT on PPC had ceased development back in the NT 3.5 days. It only resurfaced for the xbox development, but is not availible for general purchase.

Does hip sell computers? I mean everyone knows about Harley Davidson's and Zippo lighters, but 9 time out of 10 people buy the cheapie lighter at the drugstore or the free match book at the gas station.

Sorry guys, but ppc isn't going to take over the desktops any time soon. Intel processors have about 85% of the personal computer market. And in case you haven't noticed, not that many people are using the linux on intel hardware that IBM is sel…

Well I don't think this is a case of accounting fraud. The key question for shareholders is really if the Apple Stores are selling enough units to justify their existence. Do we apply the same standards to the Apple online store? Do they receive …

The bigger question is will Macs be relevant enough for the software writers, peripheral makers, printer makers, people who write content for DVDs etc. Well I am sure you guys have seen the mac marginalization page, and there are still many web fe…

but do you really want to watch video on a 2" screen? That is what I don't get about a video ipod. It is something to just say: look how cool I am. I have a pocket pc, and I remember when the first color ones came out people had movie trailers …

making the ibook a widescreen will leave the 12" powerbook alone on the ultra compact scene. Sales of 12" pbs would be marginally affected because there would still be significant advantages to the PB: bluetooth, more RAM, faster RAM, better proce…

Personally I don't think Apple needs to match up to the $500 PCs. Apple needs to have equvalent features for the price class it competes in. Powerac g5s in the cost bracket of $1800 CPUs you will get: 128-256 VRAM, 512-1gb RAM, 160-250GB hard d…

Quote: Originally posted by NaplesX You guys that argue that Apple needs to justify it's prices are at least a little loopy. I have to ask why do you not complain that, say SGI or SUN make sub-1000 dollar systems to attract customers. Look …

$500 PCs? I saw one at walmart today. It was an emachine with a 2.6 Celeron, CD-RW drive, 256 RAM, 17" flat CRT monitor and 40gb hardrinve, all in one box. It was advertised as internet ready and included about 5 USB ports. There is also a Co…

What are you using it for? I mean if you can get by with the lower power of the ibook, you can save that extra cash for the g5 powerbook that will be out worst case next year, and you will save 4500...at least 20% of the way to a new powerbook. …
