Tap-to-clicK? Never heard of it, but I can imagine that would suck. No, I imagine they will have it so you can just press-with-conviction and the trackpad (whole or part) gives way or vibrates or something.

If I had to guess I would think that Steve is looking at these digital picture frames popping up everywhere in much the same way he was thinking about the early mp3 players. I'd imagine the next Apple TV will be in a digital picture frame form fa…

A MacBook Mini. Yeah, yeah, I know everyone's been thinking the rumored sub-notebook would be targeted toward the high end (for people who can afford a MacPro desktop AND a portable), but why not go low-end? Wouldn't that be the perfect swi…

Another possibility is that if your DVD reading is limiting then you might make two copies of Handbrake ap and run them in parallel for different discs (if you have multiple optical drives). I tried this with the macbook and an external drive and i…

Actually, I believe that you would specifically NOT want to use flash memory for birtual memory as flash degrades after 10,000 writes or so and virtual memory is constantly writing. I've wondered for a while how they are getting around this with th…

A slightly smaller nano setup with "Home on iPod." Oh, what the hell, throw in basic IR functionality on the nano-slim to replace my apple remote. ...and a squirrel snare.

I'm not saying it will be marketed as such, but it certainly will fill a need for the following: 1. AV nuts who refuse to adopt a comprehensive AV solution that doesn't support 1080p. 2. Switchers who want an AppleTV solution, but don't have an …

Apple has found an unbelievable smart way of getting everyone to adopt a new skill. It's inevitable chording will become a polular text entry technique to be championed by the teen texting crowd. Once people adapt to this, qwerty will seem cumbe…

I can't believe that your home folder is actually 4 terabytes, so something is fishy. But usually for this you just need to move enough out of your home folder to allow it to have space to make an encrypted copy. I'd recommend... 1. Open your h…
