  • This discussion has taken on an unusually pessimistic tone. Let's circle back to one fact which is not in dispute: Jobs promised 3 GHz in 12 months time (i.e., Aug/Sept '04). Clearly, there is a road map, IBM and Apple are coordinating and/or coo…
  • Doesn't Apple typically do its announcements on a Tuesday?
  • Sure, I'd buy it if Apple made it. The better question is would Apple be willing to sell it? You're proposing that Apple spend the additional R&D and engineering expense of creating a new enclosure, for a machine that would be faster than …
  • I was at the Apple Store at the Mall of America. Almost 300-350 people. Amazing keynote - truly a watershed day in Apple history. I thought the Panther demo was as impressive, if not more so, than the G5. I don't understand the low end mo…

  • I'm in the "low-end now, high end in 2-4 weeks" camp. Let's remember one thing in the "will they or won't they be shipping on Monday" debate -- Apple picked the date for this. The lead time needed for moving the WWDC means Apple probably did n…
  • Quote: Originally posted by slice They litigated against the original WorkerBee.... Although was he an actually employee? I'm thinking he may just have been a contractor. Nonetheless, employees have contracts too.. and this would certainly b…
  • Quote: Originally posted by slice I'm not a lawyer, but I reckon Apple Legal is in action because if they don't attempt to shut down the specs, then their grounds for possible litigation against "WorkerBee 2" will be limited. Simply stated, i…
  • Quote: Originally posted by audiopollution How can Apple send a C&D for info that they posted to their own publically accessable website? The graphic itself is probably covered by Apple's copyright notice on the website as a whole. Th…
  • Quote: Originally posted by satchmo Perhaps revealing phoney specs if only for a few minutes would be one way he could get his kicks! That could only be true if the "fake" specs were an effort to lower expectations pre-event, and then Jobs c…
  • Quote: I'd love to see Steve's face when he finds out. When he finds out? It's only 9 pm PDT - dimes to dollars he's still at work, and he already knows.
  • Still there at the Apple store, 10:52 pm CDT. Just saw it myself

  • Alright, listen up! If these are demo boxes then it doesn't matter, they've got to be opened sometime. No customer equals nobody to complain about an opened box. Save yourself work later and open one now. I want to know what's coming as much …
  • I have a 12" PB - the heat is OK except when I have the external monitor plugged in -- and that's when the left palm rest gets nearly too hot to touch. Odd that a monitor connection would add that much heat. It gets that hot even when I'm just…
  • The worst song I've found in the iTMS is a John Denver cover of the Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby." The 30 sec. preview sounds just awful. Greg A.
