  • Fugheddaboudit, the graphics person who created the ad probably didn't know what they were doing and when they saved it as a GIF, the colors got all screwed up. Relax, it's just an ordinary powermac.
    in Interesting image at MacWarehouse site... Comment by composer January 2002
  • T'ain't gonna happen folks: 1. It's been done already. The cube is basically the very last generation NeXT cube. I think Steve would be reticent to relive old memories yet again. 2. It was a disaster. Why introduce a new product with an alb…
    in Back to the Future - Apple bring back the CUBE! Comment by composer January 2002
  • So if this is theorhetically possible, then I could store a full TERABYTE on a mere 100GB disk? Whoa. The article mentioned telecommunications companies fear loss of investment. But, I would imaging that if I could download 100x as much in th…
    in This is the kind of thing I thought Gigawire was about? Comment by composer January 2002
  • FYI: I also heard an entire program on NPR (science Friday I think) talking about this gadget. I seem to recall that the inventor thought it might be useful for perfume companies trying to sell products online. Imagine walking into a 16-year-ol…

  • I usually ignore threads with over 5 pages, but weeping creeping Jesus this is a whopping big thread! Will it make 2000? Who knows... 2.5 hours to go...

  • That's why I always wear lead-lined underwear! Doesn't everybody else? Actually, there was a study a couple of years ago that showed that men who used laptops had a lower sperm count than those who did not. And 87.234% of statistics are compl…

  • Interesting.... I'd prefer to write on a screen. Otherwise I would just get a wacom tablet. I like the idea, maybe someday. P.S. Is codename sharing his crack or do I have to find my own?

  • Here's a link to an article from 802.11 planet:

  • I get it! In all likelihood (sp?) you're referring to wireless thin-clients. Similar to an Xwindows server. The terminal handles the i/o processes and the host computer takes care of the processing. They'd still need some sort of processor and…

  • Interesting, never thought of it that way. Thanks for the follow-up!

  • I like the concept mackie. It's been done, it will work. Who knows, maybe it'll happen. If you can't tell by now I really would like Apple to make a pen-tablet. Spiffy: Why independant of a CPU? That makes no sense to me. (Please see earl…

  • I would love to see a tablet computer from Apple. It would be somewhat revolutionary. But only if they can make it work. I think it's failed so often because the MMI has been so crappy, with exception for the Newton. Apple wouldn't be the first …

  • The primary cause of these problems are low refresh rate (<75Hz) or interference caused by other electrical device. To solve the refresh rate problem, use the maximum refresh rate indicated on the monitor documentation for the particular res…
    in Potential screen let-down on LCD iMac Comment by composer December 2001
  • I'll buy the iMac, I think. It all depends on how revolutionary it is. I'm hoping that there's some new gotta-have it attached. I like the removeable iPod rumor myself.
    in Who's gonna buy an iMac LCD or G5? Show of hands please Comment by composer December 2001
  • Okay, maybe I'm smoking some serious crack here, but on the side of these AIO G3's there's a slot on the left hand side. It's blocked over so that it can't be used, but it's the same width as the slot on an iMac. I can't imagine anything but a CD …
    in New iMac Comment by composer December 2001
  • I imagine that if Apple takes the approach that is generally described here that the power supply will be similar to that used in the Cube. In that way, Steve can ensure fanless operation. The side-mounted slot CD/DVD is highly likely in my opinio…

  • Only one way to input that would be more intuitive than voice and more ubiquitous than keyboards: Brainwaves. Although I imagine that this type of interface would give the term Freudian Slip a whole new world of meaning...
    in Wearable Computers...? Comment by composer December 2001
  • Was he the one who wrote about the pocketbrain? Anyway, if we ever get that far and allow ourselves to do it, we'll probably never see another PC again. In fact, it would probably reduce external computer networks to bare nubbins. I think.
    in Wearable Computers...? Comment by composer December 2001
  • Here's the thing: I agree with earlier post(s) about eyestrain, battery life and whatnot, the technology is just not ready. However, we already have wearable-enough computers in PDA's and cell phones. AirSluf has it right with augmented cogni…
