I'm at Tekserve, NYC's new store and they're having a $100 instant rebate on all G4 Imacs all week. Anyplace else doing the same? If not, it may just be due to it being their grand openiing week, but why G4 Imacs, then. I guess we'll know tomorrow. …

If jobs were to retire what could we infer from the timing, i.e. right before MacWorld? Of course he could announce his retirement, effective September 1 or some such day, which would mean this MacWorld wouold be his last. Then we could assume he's …

Seriously, I've never been to A MacWorld, let alone a keynote (and I've lived in SF and NYC all my adult life) so I don't know if there's any opportunity for interaction with the Apple bigwigs. Although I do recall reading a post somewhere that refe…

[quote]Originally posted by CIThelpdesk: Hmm... if he did that they would lynch him during the keynote. That's not a bad idea. Use the implied threat of violence to get the truth out of Apple. Start the following rumor: If Steve doesn't come thr…

[quote]Then again it's totally possible that 'dorsal' just lived NEAR that company and did some dumpster diving for fun and rumors. Dumpster diving in a corporate park (I'm assuming)? Even if it was a stand alone facility wouldn't there be secu…

Jeromba, DaveGee, DaveLee: You guys are bad. It all goes to show that most people can't keep a secret: first one of you gave out a few juicy details, then another responded to the bait and a third posted a confirmation. Why all the cloak and dag…

[quote] admactanium : why would someone even allude to a source? it can only mean bad things for everyone involved. either you believe the person or you don't. what difference does it make if the person says that their source is their second cou…

Ahhrg, it's just so hard to get a straight answer from people. What I wanted to know is where was this reported, like on what website, and could we have a link please. So I had to spend some time searching posts to see where I'd seen these reference…

just an aside, but Tekserve, the big Apple repair and support site in NYC, is moving to a new storefront (previously they were on the 4th Fl of a loft building)during the first week of June. They're having an event each day, catering to the various …

[quote] One other thing... although our discussions of all of this helps US flush-out information and ideas... it's somewhat masturbatory in nature unless these thoughts make their way to Apple. (stating the obvio…

[quote]Can I remind people that Motorola have only managed to increase the G4 clock speed by 0.5 Ghz in the last two years, what makes anyone think they can boost it by nearly that again in the next two months? 1.4 Ghz in July? don't make me laugh!…

But they don't mention support for a G5...

Check out this thread on Arstechnica. It's ironic that we spend so much time bitching about Mac hardware when it's the OS that's the real problem. In effect, what we 're asking for is faster hardware to make up for the perfomance lag that come fr…

Too weird! I was about to look at Nostradamus' archived Ebay file; it had just loaded and the page went to refresh-then woosh, this page is not available. Damn those Apple people are fast. What do they do, pay peopple to sit around and surf the net …

An interesting aside: I live in NYC. J & R, one of our largets electronics retailers, has for years advertised either on the backpage of the weekly NYTimes circuits section (the Times's review of electronics/tech/computers), and on other days t…

If you read the thread you'll see a lot of posts from Motoroal employees. I don't know what the SPS is they're referring to, but I guess we'll know soon enough if they're right about the layoffs they predict within the next week or so. The one po…

DtoH: Finally MWSF: Just as the iMac was the show this year, the G5 finally rises from the vapour, and the world basks in its glow (which might be read as a heat issue. I think you might be a few months early. ATAT has noted that Motorola's new …

I've been having spotty access to apple.com over the last week or so.Other sites work fine. Maybe a particular backbone is having issues. I'm on the west coast. I know of other servers in California that were having trouble yesterday. I believe i…

There was a rumor about a year ago (or maybe shortly before the last MWNY) that Apple had cut a deal with Motorola for 1st dibs on part of its chip biz. Can't remeber where I read it-probably on MOSR or ATAT.

I swear I saw a post on Jan 7 here or on xlr8yourmac's forum about new PMs being previewed on Jan 22. So this seems to confirm that, unless the same person provided both leaks.
