  • Nvidia has supposed to have released some sort of GeForce 4 card for laptops that should be available to oem configurers RIGHT NOW! Nvidia's website says that some toshiba satellite notebook has a 32meg version of the card installed and available. …
  • Why would apple port os 9 to os X on an entirely new processor. It makes no sense. For one thing the g5 isn't due till at least early next year and by then os X should be at or past the 12 o clock. It would take extra dollars to port classic to a…
  • [quote]Originally posted by Bodhi: Percentage of those technologies to be implemented into the Mac? 20% TOPS. I had an 867 with a GeForce3. Loaded up Giants and half of the graphics options are shaded. Why? Cause even though that game was ma…
  • The real reason for the new superdrive isn't the 2x dvd read speed boost (although i think it's a nice addition) apple included it in the imac because it is smaller than the first superdrive which was a bit larger than a standard size 5.25? drive. …
  • I don't think DVD-R will show up in a powerbook even if it does become possible within the next year. People who feel the need to produce something on dvd would most likely, i believe, go with a powermac system because it has the extra power (espec…
  • I always thought the pro machines should have 8 firewire ports... at 3200mbps. What does everyone else think? Overkill?
  • plenty of companies in the tech industry give their customers a little heads up about future products... apple, however, does not. Apple likes to keep everything quiet untill they release a new product. It really is a pain in the arse... By givin…
  • [quote]Originally posted by ricRocket: Geez, I hope something gets done soon! I was all set to buy one in December, then I remembered MWSF and figured I'd wait - now with the G4 iMacs and the 14" iBooks, I'm not so sure that the price point is whe…
  • [quote]Originally posted by Leonis: Actually Apollo runs cooler than the current 7440 chips used in the Ti Sorry, that question was supposed to be rhetorical as well as intended to be a double negative. (Was should be Wasn't)
  • [quote]Originally posted by MacGregor: Has anyone here actually written a driver? How hard is it? I know, it is all about proprietary technology and perhaps getting a little money out of Apple, but doesn't unix give OSX any kind of easy pathw…
  • [quote]Originally posted by Matsu: I think I asked before, but can't macs already handle 5.1??? How exactly do Macs handle audio. Is there a specific chip set on the Mobo or is it all done in software? What are OSX's audio abilities? oh t…
  • [quote]Originally posted by dstranathan: Its been fun being a Mac user, but it's time for me to get real. I need a 2 GHz CPU. 800 MHz don't cut it anymore. I need a Gefore 3 Ti. I need DDR RAM. If Apple wont make my "dream box", then…
  • i was ready to buy a pro machine today but now that i know that the pro machines are next to be updated (and now they really need to be... the portable needs to be a bit faster, a little cheaper, and have a better rez screen; the desktop needs the n…
  • So far i've seen rumors for: 1. The obvious flat panel iMac 2. The Powermac G5 with DDR 3. Gigawire 4. Tablet technology 5. New iApps 6. Various Apple branded iProducts such as a digital camera I know there are more but my heart is pumpin…
  • I've heard this set top box idea mentioned a couple of times before more recently than ever even though the reincarnation of an apple set top box has been a sort of everlasting rumor that looms in the background [http://www.exn.ca/Stories/1998/03/11…
  • [quote]Originally posted by Hi Ho Quicksilver: Well, I kind of like the clipper hinge idea... But, I would love to see a self balancing computer from Apple that uses the Ginger self-balancing apparatus. Wouldn't that be wild? rofl My sister's…
  • it seems to me that everyone is coming up with very exotic ideas about this firewire bus thing... how does this idea hold? If apple were to make firewire bandwidth comparable to pci, why doesn't someone make a firewire pci box that would be very si…
  • although we have all heard stories of apple playing around with multi-button mice, I don't think they will ever introduce one unless they can get it to work well with users (user-friendly?) so many windows users don't understand how to really use a…
  • i think the imacs would only sport a superdrive if the rumors of a g4 powered imac are true... even then though its a bit of a stretch and would only be seen in the high end imac... it would help mac apple's "digital hub" a little more equal along t…
  • MOSR hasn't made one interesting report (credibility aside) that you could not have found on forums such as these... Anyone who reads at least a rumor forum or two regularly could have written their past few reports (except the one written by their…
