One whole page and nobody mentions Bootsy Collins? A few more, since it looks like the doghouse players need some love: Charles Mingus(!) Edgar Meyer Charlie Hayden Paul Chambers Ron Carter Ray Brown Percy Heath The last two are not s…

Besides the obvious problem (that the industry is trending away from this model, and Apple is leading the trend) the other problem is that since it's wishware everyone has their own idea of what it should be. Most of these threads that I've seen ove…

A few things: First, high end kit always has a fat profit margin on it. Always. I don't know why people are acting as if fat margins were introduced with this update. This is partly to compensate for low sales volume, partly because the people se…

A pre-iPhone cell conversation I had north of San Diego with a friend in Poway who works in the industry, paraphrased: "Hey, Merry Christmas." "Merry Christmas." "Sorry for the late call, but I've tried to call the last few days and the net…

wizard69, I like the way you're thinking about this. Apple could release an answer to a netbook if they wanted to, using the iPhone/iPod touch platform. Pros: 1) Hardware cost can be higher than the competition's, because the initial price …

The iMac isn't going anywhere. It's the desktops that aren't selling so well that have the more interesting fates. Something someone said on another thread got me thinking: Right now the mini is just about, but not quite, a portable little box. …

I'm curious: Did Munster talk to any of the people who produce TV shows? Or perhaps to anyone from the networks? Sure, from a technological standpoint Apple could make a big iMac capable of receiving a digital TV signal. They could easily add syn…
