I think we will see thermoelectric (Peltier effect) based systems long before liquid-cooled systems. If you need to get lots of heat away from a small area pronto, there's nothing better. Their main drawback is efficiency - about 15% IIRC. So if …

Quote: Originally posted by Programmer I agree. 64-bitness is an enabling technology and hopefully we will see lots of cool things that need it... but I'm somewhat doubtful that there will be too much of this. It hasn't shown up on the 64-bit m…

Quote: Originally posted by NETROMac Even if we have heard rumors only about these long and narrow motherboards, there can be other boards in production somewhere. It's possible that we'll see the 970 released in both the PowerMacs and the xServe…

Quote: Originally posted by Nitride Frankly the rumored (from dubious "sources") mobos sound more like Xserve-shaped than G4/G5 shaped. Apple has numerous products all using different mothboards so saying there exists an Apple mobo of some siz…

Quote: Originally posted by mmicist The quoted speeds do make some sort of sense, taking rounding into account. If Apple have a memory controller than can cope with a 450 MHz maximum bus speed (900MHz effective due to DDR transmission), and th…

Quote: Originally posted by Nonsuch Prepare to be branded an apologist. Don't you know that everyone here knows how to run Apple better than Apple? I've been called much worse. My point was that all this whining about how Apple needs…

Quote: Originally posted by Programmer edit: I forgot to mention the reason I said all of this. If Apple can build a machine (say a 2.3 GHz DP) in limited numbers that will address a particular market (say film compositing) and deliver a massiv…

My suspicion is that Intel paid a few camera makers to include USB2 on a couple models. If camera buyers have any sense at all, they will die a quick death.

Quote: Originally posted by Matsu There's absolutely no reason why a mac should cost more than $65 more than a comparable PC. But it gets better, any PC has an serious M$ tax to pay, Windows plus "Works" (word plus an appleworks equivalent) ri…

Quote: Originally posted by CharlesS Yeah, but in this particular case, to misinterpret that line is to completely miss the point of the whole passage. Juliet is wondering why the man she loves has to be this person that she's supposed to hate. T…

Quote: Originally posted by Kecksy Apple might switch to Intel.... in 2035. After Intel finally gives up on IA-64 and x86 and switches to PPC before IBM drives them out of business.

MacBidouille also mentioned a 9800, which seemed to be a straight Power5+Altivec. Seems to be expected late '04.

Quote: Originally posted by cycle no one noticed the imac crt is gone? It's still available through the education channel. I'm not sure what's up with it. Seems like they did this before.

Quote: Originally posted by Escher The frickin' Store is down. This is it! Only a few more short minutes of hoping, and then we'll know. Escher Store is back up - I can't see any changes. Whenever they make "real" changes (new produc…

My apologies to everyone. I was a victim of an ignorant reporter who apparently didn't know the difference between Jaguar and Rendevous. When the headline said "Philips to license Jaguar", I assumed that they genuinely meant the whole …
