There is an apple logo on the small screen. ctr. click the image and download it to disk. Open it uo in preview and zoom in. In addition take a look at the monitor on stage. It looks like there is a plastic support like on the back of an Apple displ…

I think the people interested in "rolling their own" are willing to use ebay and small retailers to get ehir parts. I see little to no chance of Apple releasing a byo Mac kit. As for a cheap "headless" mac, this is plausable and a very good idea.…

This is from the Seatle Times: Ironically, my two-month experiment (which I will continue) gave me a greater appreciation for a third platform: the Apple Macintosh. Built like Linux on a Unix base, Mac's OS X offers the reliability of Linux and eve…

It is unrealistic to expect the impossible, so my philosophy is to expect nothing, so whatever is announced looks better than what you expected! Despite my pessimistic outlook, the subject I am most interested in this Macworld is web browsers. I am …

There is an interesting article pver at osnews concerning OS/2, I think the parallels between OS/2, and the prospect of x86 OS X is a sign for caution. Basically, the article argued that users will only use the software pre-installed on their system…

Yes but relying on ATI to release a custom product for a single machine is not a good idea. A slab could accomodate all 7inch cards regardles of vendor, and could probably accomodate a 12inch card such as a Geforce4Ti. In addition the vertical slot …

The G4 cube was/is a great machine, however aside from price, its design made its expandability a problem. I agree that Apple needs a sub $1000 headless Mac. Instead of a cube however, I think a pizza box or slab (homage to another great neXT design…

i doubt they will be all dual. This is the first time that all Powermacs are dual, and that is because Apple knows that they are lacking in speed. There will be dual 970s, but probably not on the low end.

[quote]Originally posted by Lemmingway: I remember reading about those 970 processors being potentially very expensive, and warranting Apple's raising the prices and considering computers based on these processors to be more of a Workstation clas…

lemmingway your response may be a bit harsh, but you correct in saying that presently, the P4 is faster than the G4. I think we can all agreee that mhz for mhz, the g4 would outperform the p4 at equal clockspeeds. troubl is, the P4 never ran at 1.25…

[quote]Originally posted by Paul: yeah, and while you are at it, why not include a 23" touch screen cinema display and price the whole package at $299 so everyone can afford one... (im not saying that apple shouldn't provide mor…

the AMD scheme wouldn't really work for Apple. That is used to compare two x86 processors running Windows (other OSs as well, but we're talking about consumers). I wouldn't be so excited about 1.8ghz, there's a good chance that the G4s will be at or…

Well that plasma display is really not a monitor. Its native resolution is 852 by 480, whichis quite low compareed to the cinema displays. It is a good price as a plasma TV, but really isn;t practical as an LCD monitor in terms of resolution. Howeve…

I think the best way to implement such a technology is to make a device similar to the creative voice blaster. This discontinued devise was an external usb device which let people use their normal phones as VOIP phones. The device also contained a d…

Well it is almost guaranteed that Apple will update the imac line in January (if they don't well, that would be really stupid.) Anyway here are my predictions/hopes: $999 800/133 256/40 15inch LCD CDRW 32MB Geforce2MX Pro Speakers Wireless…

Well we can't know exactly how OS X would perform on various x86 systems. There would have to be a blind "bake off" test done by unbiased individuals to see if x86 cpus running OS X are indded faster than PPC based macs ( I really care about the num…

Comment:I don't think this is a very big surprise. I f Apple were to do such an extreme shift, it would probably be anounced at Macworld. Question: I know people have asked this before but I'm still inclined to ask. to my unserstanding he new x86…

Well the 970 may be great, but it is still a year away. I know in the big scheme of things this isn't that long, but still, it isn't tomorrow. The 970 may be very competitive at its introduction, but will it scale? I know I know, IBM made the point …
-
Well I don't know about that. First of all we do not know the exact performance of the 970 nor do we know the price. Losing 0S9 would not be as bad as many people think. Although classic works, it is not elegant or seemless, and really isn't somethi…

I think price will be the determining factor. I do not believe that the Power4 chips are used in any machines besides IBM's own, so I do not beleive there are public documents citing how much the individual chips cost. Any way of finding out?
