Quote: Originally posted by slughead My sources say.... APPLE WILL RELEASE A 3GHZ G5 WITH A 6800 AND 9 GIGS OF RAM INSIDE OF A 3 INCH CUBE AND WILL SELL IT FOR $45, AT A 99% PROFIT MARGIN. Please don't sue me if I'm wrong, Apple. Not …

It's probably worth noting that the machine doesn't contain enough RAM to run many "modern" games. I found UT2003 stuttering on my 512Mb TiBook, it only started to work smoothly when I upgraded to a gig. I think Apple has to decide what it really…

I'm not sure Kerry will want the advice. After all, Jobs may be very successful at what he does, but to be successful in politics you really do need more than 5% of the market...

Quote: Originally posted by hmurchison [B]No you're wrong. You just can't boil G4 vs G5 performance down to a nice tidy little package. Integer performance between the two is similar but the two FP units in the G5 are far more superior. Plus the …

I voted no too. The range being offered is underpowered. People are looking at the G5 and assuming it's better running at any speed than any Pentia running at any speed, and that's just plain not true. Running 32 bit code, it's going to be only s…

It's hard to believe because Apple wants to make a significant margin. Their cheapest laptop is a 12" iBook, and that's $1,000. Yes, other companies produce fractionally cheaper laptops with slightly larger screens, but laptops with 15.4" widescreen…

Far from dropping the eMac, they ought to be promoting the hell out of it at the moment. The economy isn't right for a mid-range and premium only range, and the idea Apple can produce, making a decent margin, a $799 LCD Mac is hard to believe. In…

Quote: Originally posted by TednDi one other consideration, If you wanted to watch dvd's on a plane then that is a huge battery drain. Put the movie on the harddrive (imovie) and you can stretch the battery life further. Perhaps apple is waiting …

Quote: Originally posted by hasapi The iMac FP IMO, is more of a mid range computer - not quite el cheapo emac CRT and not PMac status, and in light of poor sales, which in part has been caused by those consumer trends i mentioned Apple will like…

Quote: Originally posted by Bancho So now you further wish to restrict connectivity exclusively to places with wireless access? I assume the device would still have USB (and maybe bluetooth.) Alternatively, Apple could produce a small 802.11g…

Maybe the "$99 iPod" rumours were right, and the plan is to release a $99 3GHz G5 based iPod with PDA functionality at WWDC. This will ensure the rumours are true and that Apple and IBM keeps their promises. Be interesting if they do. Depending o…

Quote: Originally posted by Nebagakid I wish there was a multi-player version of it, that would be GRAND. There is, it's called FreeCiv, and you can grab it here. Unfortunately there's no Aqua/Cocoa/Carbon version, what they've had to do…

I'm going to revise this review a little: Quote: Originally posted by peharri 2. Performance on an 800MHz G4 PowerBook with a Radeon 7500 is "ok". Not outstanding, but some of the comments about performance on much faster hardware have began w…

Some comments: 1. As every fule no, the single person game in UT, at least from 2003 on (I haven't played earlier versions) is called "Instant Action". The greyed out "Single Player" option is, with UT2003 at least, a "ladder" game where you play…

mplayer will do it. You use the -dumpstream -dumpfile options. DeCSSes (if necessary - hey, it's legal now!) the raw MPEG stream and dumps it to disk. You need to use the command line part of MPlayer should you download the special "OS X" version…

First thing I noticed that I was critical of with OS X was the missing art package. My old Amiga came with Deluxe Paint III, I'd be happy with "even" that.
