  • I actually agree that IPTV is likely Apple's eventual move to cut off the call for PVR services and/or live TV content. Whether Apple TV will be the device to enable it or it will take Apple TV 2.0 I don't know, but I think Apple is betting on the …
  • I'm not convinced that the Apple TV can't do 5.1 sound. While there may not (yet) be content available from the iTMS encoded with digital sound, it doesn't appear to be technically impossible. 5.1 is digitally encoded, and actually can require l…

  • If you want a preview of features in iPhoto '07, check out the new U2 video for "Window in the Sky" posted to iTunes. It's a 3D photo trip down U2-memory lane. Given what Apple's shown off with Core Video in Leopard, I expect our iPhoto '07 slides…
  • Couple of items/thoughts/questions for me on my already ordered Apple TV: 1. It cannot and will not be a DVR. The Apple TV has no inputs, it's aweful hard to make a DVR without being able to take in signals! The USB port could be used for this …
  • I think there are some valid points made in objection to a MULTI-touch-screen as a primary input device, though I do think it could work in a desktop 20 degree incline setup as noted. HOWEVER, I think we're forgetting about some of Apple's oth…
  • I'm holding out for the special DESKTOP monitors Apple releases in conjunction with Leopard that feature iPhone-like gesture control directly on a 30-degree angle 24" monitor with Multi-Touch.

  • That's a bad Photoshop job covered up with copius blur. The screen perspective is out of proportion with the hardware, as is the relative blur of the on-screen images vs. the overall picture. Big time fake. Oddly enough, however, I do consid…

  • It signals SOMETHING is on the horizon. Many people have said that it's nothing more than a "Happy New Year"/30th anniversary message from Apple. I would agree, were it not for the clear visual of the sun coming up over the Apple horizon, or the A…
  • The phone will definitely include at least the "i" (as it's intended for consumers like the iMac and iPod) and most likely the full "iPod" word so that Apple can leverage the MILLIONS of people who don't think of Mac or Apple, but think iPod is the …
  • I'll bet $100 that it WILL be a router. Apple knows that market-acceptance is dictated by serving multiple needs; even if you're not going to watch streamed movies, wouldn't you like a new 802.11n router? Plus, it's so easy to do. We know it …
  • I'll probably do a reinstall soon, but I was still hoping there was another way...Since obviously the best reinstall is to re-build the OS from scratch and re-install all applications etc. If you have any other suggestions, keep them coming. Tha…
