  • Ok, now what? I have clicked on all the other playlists listed, and not one of them is going anywhere. I get a blank web page and that is it. I even made sure by having iTunes running.

  • " target="_blank">The Best of OMF Boy I wasn't sure if we could start this thread. Very cool. Now a Question that I am trying to figure out, how do we get to see all the iMixes and not just the ones Apple approves of? They tell us that t…

  • Ok, maybe iMix isn't as cool as I thought. Unless I use the link Apple sent me, I can't see my own iMix. I read that there was already 5000 of them, but when you go through iTunes front page, iMix I only come up with 150 or so. What am I mi…
    in New iTMS features ***CONFIRMED*** Comment by oldmacfan April 2004
  • The part I found interesting, is that FreeScale is going to, at some point in the road map, make a 32/64 bit chip. They didn't say much about it and was almost like a " oh yeah, by the way" after most people left the room.

  • Well, maybe today is all about iTunes music store. 70+ million is the number they are showing for songs, but that says nothing about whether or not the Pepsi songs are included. Maybe that will be Steve's bomb for the press confrence. Also, the l…
    in iPod Update One Week From Today Comment by oldmacfan April 2004
  • So what, if anything, would Apple call the 32/64 bit PPC varient from FreeScale? The one thing that worries me is that they are showing 3 steps to get to 3Ghz and give no time frame.

  • Quote: Originally posted by MarcUK I think the fact that new iMacs were not released today surely means that Apple are waiting on the 90nm 970FX chips from IBM for the update. There is no other reason IMO why Apple would not release 1.5ghz G4 iMa…
    in What do you want to see in an iMac update? Comment by oldmacfan April 2004
  • Remember this, Intel has been at the wall for quite some time. Intel released the 3.06Ghz Pentium 4 with 533 FSB in November of 2002. That is closing in on 18 months of stalemate. With so many new technologies (SATA II, PCI-E, Hypertransport …
