  • The Apple Media Center isn't all that complicated. Mostly it's software plus a mini with more power. Maybe throw in a remote that you can actually do things with (like switch audio tracks and turn subtitles on and off). The software that's missi…

  • Quote: Originally posted by e1618978 A 50" plasma will keep you happy for 10 years (well, 60,000 hours - if you watch a ton of tv you may wear out the set before 10 years is up). Remeber that you only need these high resolutions on big screens. …
  • Thanks everybody. Very helpful. As always, you guys rock. I admit, I am pretty taken aback. Here I thought I was behind the game. I've just been sitting on my 36" Sony CRT TV for so long, and so many people are crowing about their HDTVs, I though…
  • Quote: Originally posted by eatrains The "picture" of it looks to be CG. But not even good CG. Looks like it was made in Paint. Wow. That enlarged picture is hi-larious!. It must've taken someone...oh, i don't know...at least 10 minu…
  • I'm only posting this so this thread keeps getting bumped to the top. That way others will think, "Wow, I never thought a thread on serial numbers could be interesting--I better check it out to see what fascinating stuff is being posted there." (Lik…

  • F*** subscriptions. And while I'm at it, f*** high-priced, low-quality, no-special-features-having video downloads. I'm still at a loss why people buy videos from iTunes. What would be worse would be to pay someone month after month for the…
  • Quote: Originally posted by jackbauer The Core Solo is hogging up all of the money. Apple went from a ~$40 chip to a ~$160 chip. Then why release the Intel mini now? Hell, a quiet bump would have been fine. Or they even could have done a pla…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Kickaha Two RAM slots. There are two now. Yeah. Just saw that. Was coming back for the correction. Funny. That was a major issue for me, and I really did not expect them to double the slots (or use 7200rpm 3.5" …
  • Quote: Mac mini features a graphics processor integrated into the system, and one that's no slouch, to boot. The Intel GMA950 graphics supports Tiger Core Graphics and the latest 3D games. It shares fast 667MHz memory with the Intel Core processor,…
  • It depends obviously on what it's offering and for what price. If anyone's read my one-note posts lately about the mini (people keep ignoring them, I don't know why... \ ), and what it needs (particularly software-wise) to become a real media/dig…
  • "Fun" = new shuffles (in colors/designs), back-slapping for the billion-song mark, maybe some announcement about iTunes videos (some HBO shows for instance). The use of the word fun implies something trite and diminutive. Editors seeing that word…
  • Quote: Originally posted by nowayout11 Apple's margins are typically over 20% versus the industry average of 6-11% Which, at this price level, should make the Mac about $140 more, not $440 (let alone $600). If Dell is making ~10% off a $1…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Chris Cuilla I think Apple is getting to the point where the top end of their iPod line is going to "evaporate" for most of the market. It seems to have been whithering away slowly anyway. Who on earth really has 60GB …
  • Quote: Originally posted by AppleInsider With the addition of SHOWTIME hit programming, iTunes now offers more than 50 popular TV shows for $1.99 per episode for viewing on a computer or iPod. A few things. 1) They should go to variable pr…
  • Quote: Originally posted by AppleInsider In addition, Apple will also create a full-ride scholarship in the name of the grand-prize winner to a world-renowned music school I wonder if you could take the scholarship yourself. I'd love to take a…

  • Apple won't do a mini tower. It may drive us insane, but they won't. And I think they're on to something, actually. My last Mac purchase (2001) was a big old honkin QS tower. Why? Because I wanted the expandability and upgradeability. I had a 9G…
