iWork '07 iLife '07 Quad Core MacPro iTv name/ship date (q2, 07) Leopard. One more thing: Federal agents come on stage, and arrest Steve. The handcuffs come in MBP brushed aluminum or the new iPod/iBook black. No white handcuffs.

- Bigger, faster hard drive - Accelerated graphics - Better keyboard and mouse - That "portable form factor" is as much a disadvantage as an advantage. Working on a laptop is not comfortable. The screen is just over your hands, so you're alway…

It's 7 AM in New York, 5 AM in Cupertino. An update is at least 5 hours away. Why would the European stores be down for so long before? It's either maintenance, or some change in pricing for Europe only.

Why not make it of "basalt" like those gitzo tripods? It's dark grey, but actually it's fiberglass, so it can be made as smooth as the current iBook, or less so. Strong enough to make yachts out of. And it's cool grey that looks much like …

If there was this "machine we all want", I'd be all for Apple making it. However, there is no such machine. I for one want a powerful processor (core Duo 2.33), lots of memory and no expansion slots. Don't care about all sorts of audio and video …

Quote: Originally posted by jouster Isn't it the case that Apple users tend to upgrade far less than do PC users? That said, I've never seen any evidence that PC users upgrade quickly. It is. I'm using a 500MHz TiBook. At home I have a Dual 86…

Quote: Originally posted by jouster It's only obsolete if it stops doing what you want it to do. There aren't many - heck, there aren't any metrics by which the G3 700 iBook I'm typing on isn't waaaaay obsolete. But Safari, Word, IRC, iChat an…

OK, now I understand better. My only experience is with a piano, and that didn't have any electronics. This is definitely within the "interactive" category. My question remains: For the same sound, can the musician tell the difference between a …

I can't say that I fully understand the case of the performing musician, so I may be off-base here. It used to be that we classified interactions with the computer to three kinds:Batch - ask the computer to run something and it takes several minutes…

IMHO the pro-consumer dichotomy hasn't made sense in a long time. Just to make sure we're clear on definitions, a "pro" tool is a tool that's used at work. So a secretary using Word is a pro. A gamer is a consumer. The mark of a pro is not using the…
