Would people please stop thinking that there will be a new iMac at MWSF? They just did a major revision in October! Not to mention that 802.11n isn't even close to being ratified yet.

I think he just means external SATA, which is more a feature of SATA itself (as it lets you hot-plug devices). That would probably be very useful as long as the cabling distance was sufficient (Firewire can be strung over relatively long distances)…

The lack of commercials is very important, to say the least. Many people might rather watch the video while on the subway than have to clear out their schedule and put up with ads. Also, encoding video is something that many people don't know ho…

I rather like the iMac G5's design. It's not the most original in terms of shape, but at least with the latest revision it's a perfect example of how to minimize the use of space without sabotaging looks. Think about it: the computer itself is s…

Intel isn't automatically crappy. It depends on how Intel chips stack up to PowerPC chips at a given moment. Pentium 4s, especially early ones, were bad. But Pentium Ms, especially the dual-core ones showing up next year? Those are good in gener…

The backup drive idea is nice, if not something one could appreciate right away. A mouse would be good - if the iBook sits on a desk often. If only occasionally, it won't be very useful! I like the Mighty Mouse, but a basic user might almost pr…

The iMac is Apple's quintessential all-in-one: it's supposed to emphasize simplicity and ease of use. There's no point in adding room for expansion that either hurts this main focus or won't go used by the vast majority of the target audience. W…

Quote: Originally posted by Elixir how much faster will dual yonah's be compared to the current 15inch pb ppc? Much, much, better. For one thing, dual-core instantly gives it an edge, since it can handle multiple threads at once. Yonah itse…

I'm skeptical that Apple will have PowerBooks out even before iBooks. It does make sense given that just about any Pentium M chip would make the iBook faster than the PowerBook; even so, I don't know if Apple would really want to push things out th…

Alright, here's some (hopefully educated) guesses as to what will show up at MWSF: Almost certain: * iLife 06 (with new features taken from the pro apps) * iWork 06 (with a spreadsheet app, most likely) * a demo of Office 2006 (probably BEFO…

Quote: Originally posted by rustedborg It just dawned on me that the new black iPods might be a hint that Apple is planning a color shift (AT LAST) away from white and silver. Do any of you think Apple will roll out black Macs next year when they…

Quote: Originally posted by drumsticks I have asked this question many times in many different places (here including). What is it that laptop display densities are on the rise, but desktop ones remain roughly the same? There's a few factors …

The problem Apple faces is that increases in capacity will ultimately become less and less meaningful. A 200 GB iPod would be useful for videos if they were worth playing back on a small screen, but that's about it. What about the rest of your con…

Quote: Originally posted by jdbartlett If it ain't broke, don't fix it. One of the features I'd really love to see in iTunes/iPod that I doubt I ever will: the ability to assign multiple artists to a song so that duets don't have to be listed …

It won't be the iBooks or Mac minis. Both of those got updates this summer. I'd venture that it's the PowerMacs given Think Secret's story, but even then I'm hesitant to make any definite claims. We have so very little information right now tha…

If the update happened in the fall (it might not), I think it would just follow whatever direction the PowerMac takes, albeit on a more modest scale. My guess would be 2 and 2.3 GHz G5s with 1 MB L2 (but single-core), PCI Express video (a 128 MB …
