  • As for Apple and their decision to forgo AGP-8x and USB-2, Wired has an iinterview with Marc Andressen in its current issue, and one of the exchanges was pretty interesting: You started Netscape, which was swallowed up by AOL. Then Loudcloud, wh…
    in Portents for Spring 2003 Comment by ptrash August 2002
  • The specs may not be that bad. In fact the low end machine is a decent deal. But I think the reason people are venting at Apple is because they're tired of being let down. Of course in a way we're responsible for the high expectations, but if we did…

    in New Powermacs Aug 13th? (thinksecret) Comment by ptrash July 2002
  • [quote]Originally posted by Telomar: It wouldn't entirely surprise me, assuming Apple had something else to announce, if PowerMacs were left off. Expos really cater more to the consumer market than anything else in terms of advertising. Releasing…
    in Could the whole cnet/thinksecret 'no powermac' reports be a smokescreen? Comment by ptrash July 2002

    in G5 Speculation Revisited Comment by ptrash July 2002
  • [quote]Originally posted by Aphelion: Well since an announcement of such a major purchase would typically cause a significant drop in AAPL shares, it might explain the top executive's sell off of Apple stock. Also the news of 1 GHz upgrades be…

  • [quote]Originally posted by Junkyard Dawg: Ok, ok, ok, you guys are right. It doesn't matter how fast Pentiums are. It doesn't matter if Powermacs get their asses handed to them on a platter by x86 boxes on benchmarks ranging from photoshop to af…
    in Rumor: Disaster at MWNY... :( Comment by ptrash June 2002
  • Lots of ppeople beleive that the new 1 gig CPU upgrades point to proof of faster processors in the pipeline. Just as many say there's absoloutely no connection. I know this is slightly tangential, but what technical issue was keeping the upgrade com…

  • You know what? I just realized that it's much more fum speculating about all this than having the G5 come true. On the other hand i waste too much time at these boards, especially starting about 1 month before the big shows. Anyway, as I said bef…

  • I've read many times that a major reason graphics pros stick with Macs is because they have so much cash invested in the software. (It's true for me at my job even though I'm not a pro, that and also because all the designers I know use Macs and I n…

  • [quote]Hmm....I doubt the guy just dropped $3500 on a monitor to hook to his portable and can't remember the most basic spec. He's beta testing the next Apple Cinema Display HD. Jesus, you people are too much. 24", 23', who cares-all I know is…
