  • Quote: Originally posted by concentricity actually, since the few mentions of 975 have been that it's based on the Power5, that would lead one to believe the previously linked articles DON'T have anything to do with it. It's clear from the artic…
  • Quote: Originally posted by BuonRotto I can't imagine too many situations where a translucent widow would be in front of an opaque one though. I think it's already happened, and they're called "dashboards". Check out the new Motion video tour…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Matsu A CF based iPod grows closer every day. Just a matter of time.
  • Quote: Originally posted by 1337_5L4Xx0R I totally agree. But I'd have to say that that was the highest compliment you can pay. Clockwork Orange? Tron? Manhunter (not sci-fi, but absolutely gorgeous to look at)? Blade Runner? Brazil? Yeah, baby.…
  • Quote: Originally posted by PB There is also one variant of this discussed before on these boards. I talk about the famous pizza boxes, iBook or Powerbook corpses without the head . Perhaps a little thicker to accomodate more powerful componen…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Ensign Pulver This is right on the money. Every AI member should just read this post over and over until it finally sinks in. I'm looking at you, geekmeet You're right... and ok, geekmeet might be a little off by s…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Mac Voyer Why is it that when people start talking about how great the iMac is, they bring up mom, and grandma, and little kids, and people who don't know anything about computers. There's an attractive prospect for a…
  • Wrong answer. Try again. The iMac is not going anywhere. The refresh to the eMac only means that the iMac will be refreshed soon, if not totally revamped. Apple and the AIO design have gone together since before 1984, and will continue to do so f…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Noleli2 iTunes won't/can't have drawers because it Carbon. Something I'd like to see is support for AudioUnits plugins. A compressor would be especially nice on my iPod because when I'm on a bus I have to turn it wa…
  • Quote: Originally posted by TheFly Something like this: http://www.conf.co.jp/new_folder/making/cube_1.html Which is a series of pictures on how a guy molded his Cube into a G5 mini. WOW!
  • What really worries me is that this guys says that everything fell apart between 130nm and 90nm. What does this mean for the 970fx? Maybe it won't scale up in speed like everyone is expecting. Maybe it's really only marginally better than the 130nm …
  • I hear what you're saying, but your plan gets rid of the best computer case ever. Say what you will about the iMacs performance, or that it looks aren't edgy enough, from a functionality and simplicity point of view it's damn near perfect. I have no…
  • pscates, I have plenty of things that I can't do with my PowerBook, and it really is quite frustrating. My PowerBook overloads all the time while doing audio work, to the point where I can't do much of what I want to live. Even the newly released PB…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Lemon Bon Bon My gawd, the voice of reason! Given the popularity of Shuttle PCs then G5 Minis would go down very well. Shuttle's are quite popular with DIY'ers but not really among the general population. Quot…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Esteban I like being able to upgrade by way of pci slots, and don't think that one slot is too much to ask. Back to the car analogies... Most people don't run out of gas very often, but it's good to have that gas can i…
  • Quote: Originally posted by pscates Yeah, what consumer/switcher needs a PCI slot? I mean, if all the crap that normally comes on cards is already built-in, what's the point? Who, honestly, is going to miss that on a consumer mini-tower? No on…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Mac Voyer There are two facts warring against each other. 1. The modest eMac update suggests that the iMac update will also be small. Otherwise, there is no reason they could not have put in 1.33 GHz or higher int…
  • Quote: Originally posted by oldmacfan I think iMac's will get updated before WWDC, that is the domain of the pro machines. WWDC is the domain of Apple developers, not any particular machine. The G5 was intro'ed there because the timing was rig…
  • I think we'll see what's behind door #3. At this point, if the iMac was going to get the same refresh as the eMac it would have happened already, if not at the same time as the eMac refresh. I think we'll see a G5 iMac at WWDC. It's only about…
  • Quote: Originally posted by shetline The problem isn't chiefly due to a lack of buffering, but to the way MP3 and AAC tracks are encoded. Shet, thanks for the good explanation. This has been one of my biggest gripes since iTunes came out, but …
