  • Did this in Illustrator CS, using the new 3D tools. It's a tMac!__ This is an explanation of the dual-action tilt/swivel cam I'm imagining (inspired by a trailer hitch I saw) http://homepage.mac.com/pscates/mockups/pivot.gif Then, e…
  • Chris, you've got the makings of a supreme Batman villain. Were you thinking people don't cross between the two sites, and somehow cobble together that the guy being all earnest at the other place was the same one shoveling crap over here in Futu…
  • I don't know why that comment struck me so funny. Poor monkey...
  • I'm not so sure about the barbaric hand-chopping stuff, but I definitely don't like the "don't chase or confront the thief outside the store" aspect. Any thief now knows all they have to do is make it out the door and haul ass and they've got a g…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Bancho It will also unquestionably be AIO again. iMac == AIO. Any non-AIO is simply not an iMac. Says who? Who died and left you chief of product development? You may be right...but you never know. In any case,…
  • Dave, I think you're totally in line for a good-will replacement. Here's what's irking me: you can't tell me that Apple techs or whoever look at that screen (with those OBVIOUS two dark spots at the top) and think "okay, our job is done...". …
  • Quote: Originally posted by dferigmu For $2600, this is what you get when comparing an Apple and a Dell tower: Dual 1.8 Ghz G5 vs. P4 3.6GHz 1 Year Warranty vs. 3 Year Warranty 512 MB RAM vs. 1GB RAM…
  • Seriously, though...I really think Apple nailed this one. They're going to sell TONS of them. And don't laugh, but partly for a very simple, silly reason: they FINALLY have a display that matches/looks right sitting next to their pro towers AND t…
  • Quote: Originally posted by fugimax The only "problem" I have so far is trying to find a good 1920x1200 wallpaper. Waaaah...cry me a river! Nice problem to have, ain't it?
  • Personally, no I won't be buying (I loves my PowerBook too much and it more than does what I need it to). But I WILL be recommending the hell out of them to several family members and on-the-fence types I know, plus a buddy who's still using a 30…
  • I hate places like that. Been to a few, no doubt. People just stuck in 1992, can't get past 7.5.5 or whatever. Here in my city, there is no Apple dealer PERIOD. We have two authorized service centers and one seems quite a bit better and more …
  • I've thought of this as well, and I sometimes wonder if a Windows version of iPhoto wouldn't be a big hit for the other side? Of course, now that it's no longer free - and comes bundled with the iLife stuff - not sure how you could do it in a way…
  • Ooh, how interesting to know! My best friend JUST went to New Orleans to work on a Naval base for three months...I drove down with her two weekends ago, and we ended up at the CompUSA on Veterans Memorial Hway, in Metairie. It was decent (my frie…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Existence Agreed. Though I'd up the iMac speed to at least 2GHz. A 1.6GHz G5 simply cannot compete with modern x86 processors. Yeah, and "modern x86 processors" (and the OS they are most likely used with) cannot…
  • The more I read about - and look at - these new displays, the more that 20" is calling my name. Anyone know where any "real life" (WWDC floor?) shots of these things are? The Apple beauty shots are always so sterile and tough to get a true idea o…
  • What ever would Microsoft do without Apple? Some of those windows just seem...oh, familiar? Anyone seriously think Longhorn would look one damn bit different than Windows 2000 had OS X (shadows, transparency, metal, rounded corners, large …
