If I see that ad again, I swear I'll track down Kasper's automated slave and free him. Tha should teach AI a lesson. Gawd that was (*&^*&^%*ing annoying!

The 3 year old Dell laptop (which was not top of the line even when new) my school provides me as a teacher runs too hot to place on my lap while I am simply web surfing or using Word to create quizzes and tests. If it's been on--not sleeping--for o…

Crap specs. What exactly is the point of paying a higher price for woodcrest when you only use one. Why not use a conroe? Conroe supports up to 4MB cache just like the specs here, and the fsb is 1066MHz, slightly slower than woodcrest's 1333, …

There's also the whispered quality control issues. I'm guessing the model will be back online shortly, say a week or two.

I know this is getting off topic, but I was thinking about my earlier post. What if the much-rumored Apple media center is simply a glorified Airport Express with a mini-DVI as well as audio output serving Front Row 2.0 to your screen? Stream any…

The movie download business sounds fishy to me. The more I think about it, the less I like it. The problems are all things people have said on this thread: download times, quality, price, features. Add to that the possible end of net-neutrality …

Quote: Originally posted by Lorre Isn't it possible to install a 7200 rpm laptop harddrive in the mini yourself? Sure, if you want to pay 10x the cost per GB. The point I was making is that Apple should switch to full-size 3.5" drives in its …

So I'm interested, now that the titles in both HD-DVD and BD are out/coming out, what does MMC mean practically speaking? Do the cases advertise that you can make a legal copy of the movie for your personal use (I doubt it)? Is it a full quality (10…

As others have said, the most probable timeframe for a mini update is late Aug-early Sept, updated with the new 965 integrated graphics. This is also the key for the release of their media hub. As others have said, the mini is not a good value r…

Quote: Originally posted by ZachPruckowski I highly doubt you're going to see a legal way to install OS X on other computers without Apple's blessing. Here's why: There's a little chip on PC mother boards called a Tamper-Proof Module, which is …

Quote: Originally posted by DeaPeaJay I totally agree. Has Apple ever sued anyone for using a column interface? I think it's just other company's trying to get money out of Apple. They counter sue, but they've never picked a fight over the col…

Quote: Originally posted by MacRonin I would go with a pimped out Core Duo Mac mini, four 250GB Lacie HDDs (the ones that fit under the mini), the aforementioned Elgato EyeTV 250 & a game console to be decided at a future time? Pipe the ou…
