  • I smell I Dell competitor. If priced correctly, the G4s could take on the dirt- cheap hunks of underdesigned crap that Dell is spewing. And, obviously, the Macs would be sold by the outside looks and inside power that is native to the Powermac lineu…
    in Is Apple making way for the 970? Comment by os10geek February 2003
  • Just because it happened with Airport Extreme and Firewire 800 doesn't mean that a new processor will be initialized in a portable before a desktop. What I think will happen is Apple will use the newly released 7447/7457 processors. They are very po…
    in Is Apple making way for the 970? Comment by os10geek February 2003
  • I am agreeing that the current- and last-update G4's are just interum holdover machines, designed to fend off the Pentium for the meantime, while Apple devotes the majority of the Apple hardware workforce to work on the real Mackoy. (Is that how you…

  • The "ultraportable" concept would work better if OS X allowed you to scale the size of toolbars and titlebars independently from the resolution. That way, you could have a teeny little 10" screen with an extremely high resolution, but stil be able t…

  • I don't think that they use what comes out the bottom of of the sieves, they use what is left on the top of them. According to

  • Yep, both made of silicon, though they vary on the level of refinement. Or do they?

  • Sorry. My bad. I meant the Gobi, but I said Sahara. All those blasted, goddam deserts! Are all G3's named after vast exanses of sand, filled with lizards and animal skulls?

  • Matsu noticed something critical that I noticed too. The bezel on the 12" PB is bigger than the the Lapzilla 17 incher, which is kind of strange. It might just be the display mounted Airport antennae, but it might also be that thicker bezels = cheap…

  • iBooks will not have a G4 unless: A) They're 200 mhz slower than the Powerbooks. B)The Powerbook moves on to a new chip Even if one (or both) of these things happen, there will still be the problem of putting a (fanless and cool) G4 into th…

  • The 7457/7447 isn't in the new xServes, is it? Because I saw that the 7457/7447 goes up to 1.33 gigahertz, the exact speed of the new xServes. When IBM announces something, are they unveiling it, or are they announcing that it , in the future, will …

  • "used to" is the key word there, my friend. Or rather 2 words. But Apple could do so much with flash. How bout an "iPod interactive test drive", like Palm has of their handhelds on the Palm site? That would sell 'em.
    in Macworld & new hardware annnouncements? Comment by os10geek February 2003
  • I think that the Powermac 970 release will actually be big enough for apple to have a Flash cover! Has anyone noticed the obvious absence of Flash on Apple's site? The ONE TIME that Apple used any animation on their site was with the Flatpanel iMac…

  • It also says that "there will be radically different successor to the current iPods" by the end of this year.
    in iPod password & other future features? Comment by os10geek February 2003
  • The audio-in is a needed and usefull feature that will be completely possible with the implementation of the new, large buffer Toshiba 1.8 inch drives. As for a password, entering it would be almost impossible with the "wheel-input" of the current …

    in Putting a L3 cache in the 12" PowerBook Comment by os10geek February 2003
  • In the future, could there be a DIMM module that exceeds 512 MB of RAM? ecause then that would put the Powermac up to 4 GB, the iMac/Powerbook to 2 MB, etc. Or is the capacity of a RAM module limited by the memory addressing?
    in Putting a L3 cache in the 12" PowerBook Comment by os10geek February 2003
  • The thing about Apple portables is that while at max speed, they are slightly slower than PC notebooks, when the PC notebooks throttle down to save power, the Apple 'books blast them out of the water, because the PPC is so power-efficient, that it d…

    in Putting a L3 cache in the 12" PowerBook Comment by os10geek February 2003
  • The 12" needs two models: one for people that just want an aluminum G4 iBook(867 G4, no L3, 256 MB ram, 40 gb HD, 32 MB VRAM, VGA- out) and one for the pro photographers, wanting to do touch-up with Photoshop while on an African safari, or on the go…
