  • Quote: Originally posted by melgross The question here is whether Apple is going to go with a higher rez screen. If not, what advantages do these chip offer? On board stereo DAC, 2048x2048 LCD controller, java hardware acceleration , vector …
  • Wild speculation: Could it be that Apple is switching to the new AVR32 DSP controller? http://www.atmel.com/products/AVR32/ http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/vi...&family_id=682 "For example, streaming a 320x240 MPEG movie over the AP7000'…
  • Quote: Originally posted by FireDancer Unfortunately, I think we've all been jinks?d by MOSR.....[..] Well they're claiming, "We continue to believe that a quad-processor Macintosh is imminent". I've read that at MOSR since 1997.
  • Quote: Originally posted by Skylor Remember: The prices dropped on iPods. Yes, but it could also be that this is the end of iPod _revenue growth_. While the price point could continue to fall, it will at some point hurt margins (and revenue).…
  • While the numbers are good, iPod revenue fell from $1.2 billion for AAPL FQ1 to $1 billion in FQ2 (despite a healthy growth in units sold). Also, AAPL was diluded by 13% in FQ2, because of stock options experices. I guess Apple will continue the …
  • A slashdot reader is writing the same thing as me about this survey: "Depends on what you define as "decent". At a 99% confidence level, a sample size of 200 means that the margin of error for this survey is +/- 9%. Even if you open it up to a 95% …
  • Quote: Originally posted by blabla Assuming the asked users were picked out without any bias , the survey of 200 users would give about 7% of error! Ops, what I meant (and correct me if im wrong here) is that with 200 people asked and the…
  • Quote: (In fact...the 200 number is actually a higher percentage than the number used for presidential election polling!) Please explain.. 1100 of the total number of voters is about 0% of the total voters.. 200 is about 0% of the total iPod buy…
  • Only 200 users were asked, so the result can hardly be characterized as statistical significant. Only 1 less/more user saying he bought a mac after using the iPod would skew the reult by 0.5%.
  • Quote: Originally posted by NittanyLionTosh Don't be foolish. If Apple sells about 4.5 million Macs a year, added on to a user base of about 30 million, the platform remains a sound investment for developers. I really doubt the installed us…

  • macosrumors.com stopped working in may sometime, but you could still read macosrumors at http://199.105.116.92/ , but now it seems to be down too. ( I believe they got help from some other mac site). This is where I got the ip address from: http://…
  • Roxio will probably be around. Didnt their software division return to profitability again last fiscal Q? Their music division is bleeding money, and will probably continue to do so next year. But Roxio will probably not see the kind of losses t…
  • Quote: Originally posted by jade Well the word is out, no 3GHz in a year. At least the update finally came (only 12 months later). But what will this mean in terms of Apple's credibility. Lets talk about other "promises" this year. 1. Xse…
  • From the link: Quote: Jon Rubenstein, who has led the Cupertino, California-based company's hardware engineering efforts, will run the new division, an Apple spokesman said. Timothy Cook, head of Apple's worldwide sales and operations, will lea…
  • I guess its easier to get a performance boost from MT when the cpu got a big cache, since you want to switch thread/process when you got a cache-miss? Also, the Power5 includes altivec, right?
  • This will really make MWA the standard, with more and more DVD players supporting it, and the majority of all MP3 players sold is also able to play mwa files. Hopefully the industry will agree on a DRM standard, and since it doesnt look like Ap…
