  • I know this may be a silly question, but what are the true technology given advantages are there to HD DVD? I mean, neither disk works in old players and to me, it just appears that Blu-ray and HD DVD are pretty much the same technology wise besides…

  • Just for the record, the most recent speedbumps/launches/etc. of the Mac line have fallen on the following days: 4 on Wednesday 1 on Tuesday 1 on Monday So it might be time to let the whole "Tuesday!" release hopes go. That said, I bet next …
  • I'm sure there will be some sort of overblown re-announcement of all Leopard's features, a retail progress update, an iPhone/iPod market share update, and maybe iWork/iLife introductions.

  • I don't think the iPod will have the same interface as the iPhone. I figure it will have some similarities but will not have internet capabilities beyond music sharing. Apple will have to keep the iPhone's most attractive features to the iPhone for …

  • Never...well, as good as never at this point. As much as we like to pretend current roadmaps will lead to closer laptop/desktop performance its will never be the case. Heat and power consumption is something that will never be handled in a 130 cubic…
  • There are so many "New iMac" threads I didn't know where to post this, but since it has to do with the date of the release, I chose here. I came across this when browsing the news today: http://www.electronista.com/articles...2.extreme.cpu/ …
  • I'm getting of people citing Think Secret as a credible site these days. TS has messed up their predictions on almost every major Apple announcement in the past year or two. They were once a great source, but now they live off their prior reputation…
  • I've been waiting for the Mac Pro update for a while now, but ultimately I'm not going to buy an eight core model. I really value the 3.0GHz speed vs a 2.66GHz with more cores, simple because I don't really need more cores over faster speed per core…
  • Regardless of what rumors pop up, we can now easily predict Apple product releases by looking at the Intel road maps. The next platform release is in April that will offer GMA x3000 graphics for the regular MacBook and FSB speeds up to 800MHz to imp…
  • I really hope the 3.0 Quad model doesn't get cut with the revision or I won't be buying. The reason I'm holding out now is the graphics cards being more limited than I would like, and the limited PCI-e interface. I don't think apple could make the 3…

  • Why compare PS3 sales to Wii (a proprietary irrelevant format) or the Xbox 360 (DVD)? The sales of the PS3 should be compared to those of the HD-DVD add-on of the 360; which doesn't seem to be doing so well. In volume, the PS3 may be behind the s…
  • I wouldn't recomend a Dell 24" to anyone doing any sort of graphics work as the banding issues with that display have yet to be resolved. The ACD is the safer bet or the new 24-inch from BenQ. I don't see a MacBook getting a dedicated graphics card …
  • What use would a camera be on an Apple display that only has tilt adjustment? They are best off bundling a revised iSight with it that clips/whatever to any side of the display. I just don't see the use of an isight built into a 23inch or 30inch dis…
