I've actually seen a prototype of the remote. It was years ago, and made by a different company, but Apple bought them and it sounds almost exactly the same. At the time Bluetooth wasn't out, so the remote had a base station that connected to oth…

The NeXTSTEP was called Quantrix. It's kinda dead, but not completely. http://www.blackholeinc.com/catalog/...Quantrix.shtml The OSS project is FlexiSheet. It's very cool, but needs some serious work. http://www.materialarts.com/FlexiShee…

I don't think you guys really understand what's going on with Keynote and Pages. It's very much like OS X in the 10.0 days. They wrote these programs from scratch because they're looking to the future. They know that they features are lacking now, b…

That's why there would be a choice. I for one would seriously consider not only signing up for a subscription service, but getting a larger iPod next time around to fill it up.

I would love to see Apple release a rebranded IBM BladeCenter. Seeing how there's a lot of attention around G5 clusters, I'm actually surprised that there hasn't been a cluster built with the JS20's already. The chassis can hold 14 dual 2.2Ghz G5…

I'm sure there will be rumors of the update when it's near because there will have to be some new mini HDs for a new mini iPod. I haven't seen or heard of any 8GB CF hard drives, so I don't think there's an update coming any time soon. I think…

Quote: Originally posted by hmurchison Don't get me wrong PCIe is going to be nice but it will mirror the move from AGP 4x to 8x. The benchmarks will show only the smallest measurable increase. PCIe is a lot more than AGP16x. First it's 16x bo…

Quote: Originally posted by REM#1 What do you think of my suggestion? Please be specific. I think there's need or reason for the eMac to get a G5 right now. It's had it update, and I would guess it's the last one till it does get a G5, b…
