If you're going to make an iMac that can exist sans monitor, I would suggest something more like a pizza box. The AIO variant could have a case with integrated arm and video cabling routed through the top. The stand-alone version (I'd recommend us…

There was a time when we would have said the iMac base could never hold a G4. It does. The G5 will get smaller and cooler, and will go into enclosures that small. It'll have to if Apple hopes to get it into PowerBooks. I think we're forgetting…

Well, it's not a hardware/software combo, but marketing .Mac web services heavily at Windows users could be a good next step after introducing iTunes for Windows.

On iBooks and small computers: 13.3" (1024 x 768) iBook replaces 12 and 14 inch models. It just makes more sense, at least to me. The 12" seems a bit too small, but the 14" seems like too much, considering it's the same resolution. Other i…

I would tend to agree that the Xserve line needs updating. I think architecural changes are more likely, though. USB 2.0, SATA, Panther Server and price cuts. Nothing spectacular, but that's ok for servers. In the long run I think the G4 Xser…

Oh, I agree with that, in that there's often a need for extremely inexpensive, basic client desktops. However, what then do you offer clients who want something different? What I was trying to say, essentially, is that Apple needs a flexible pla…

I think attempts to determine what a Mac aimed at businesses and other large scale purchasers have to focus on flexibility. Yes, offering tremendous diversity in the product line is something that would typically kill Apple by making it harder to…

I agree that finding a way to differentiate such a product would be difficult. It would be the most difficult aspect of such a venture. However, at the moment, the business market is remarkably closed to anything that doesn't run on cheap commod…

Just thought I'd point that Sony is a huge company with a multitude of subsidiaries. What the division that puts together the PlayStation does doesn't necessarily have any bearing on what their PC division is going to do(though a PPC powered Vaio l…

Could the fiber-optic lighting idea be used to seamlessly embed a status display into the front panel? Rather than the entire case changing colors, just the front panel does, allowing information to be displayed on it, and for that information to…

If the mid-range Powerbook isn't using the 15.4" widescreen LCD, how about the lower-end LCD iMac, which didn't receive any substantial update?

Has anyone considered the possibility of Apple retaining the overall Titanium form factor and in fact giving it better specs than the 17", to make it their flagship laptop? In looking at the Powerbooks, the TiBook is still the best looking of the…
