some people are really gullible aren't they

Sony's tablet PC has nothing to do with the Tablet concepts that have been flying around on both the Mac and PC sides. It's just a Wacom LCD Pen Tablet bundled with a computer. Let me clarify for those who aren't familiar with these products. Eve…

OK, I think a simple mathematics session is in order here. Latest word from Mot was that the Apollo would not be produced on a 13 micron SOI process as we'd all been hoping but on 18 micron instead. Currently the G4 tops out at 867. It has be…

OK, let's talk about some more facts then. Many people here know about MrNSX from Ars Technica forums, and some of the stuff he's said in the past over there. For those who don't know, he works for ATI, 'nuff said. This is what he said in a r…

It was just on MacNN that the Swedish website of Epson mentioned the G5 on their driver page for the latest Epson printer. There are a lot of non-believers out there, but I say if this is indeed a hoax, it is the most elaborate one ever of the ne…

[quote] Gorin also referred to the fact that Apple now uses the G4 in a consumer product offering. The ability of the people on this forum to get sidetracked into irrelevant discussions is astounding. OK, a reporter asks a Motorola semiconduc…

Some people also forget that Quake is an OpenGL benchmark. And applications like Cinema 4D, LightWave and Maya are also dependant on OpenGL performance to a great extent. So if a computer can pull 300 fps in Quake, it doesn't just mean that i…

Well, if you guys have read any of the recent reviews, it seems that with the arrival of Northwood (512K L2 cache, 13 micron process) Pentium 4s, Intel seems to be slightly getting ahead in the performance race with AMD. What's even more importan…

well, I just tried timecanada.com, and this time I was redirected to time.com. This didn't happen 5 minutes ago, I was able to read the entire article. Seems like Jobs' wrath has reached Canada. edit: the url of the story itself still …

Where are all those people from yesterday who said stuff like "when Apple says they're gonna blow people away, they're talking about normal people, not the crazed fanatics like the people who read these boards and trade in G5 rumors"? Somehow the…
-
This has to be big. There just have been too many G5 rumors for Apple to tell people to get ready to be blown away for an LCD iMac and a 1.2 Ghz G4 PowerMac. Remember, the G5 rumors were even mentioned in an article on CNN's website.
-
I think it's all about what Apple's trying to achieve. Sometimes being "cheap" doesn't yield the most profit in the long term. When the original iMac came out, it wasn't all about the form factor, it had stuff even the professional PowerMacs did…

Correct me if I'm wrong, but how is a custom chip that offloads some GUI calculations from the CPU any different than Mpeg2 accelerator chips that were used in Macs and PCs until recently? I don't see why such a chip would be in conflict with the…
