Quote: Originally posted by melgross You're assuming it's true. We don't know that yet. Yes, I'm assuming it's true - the evidence is too strong IMO, and anyway, I'll be pleasantly surprised if I'm wrong the "something amazing from IBM" or th…

Quote: Originally posted by aplnub If Intel indeed starts to manufacture the PPC chip for Apple, how does that effect IBM? IBM would probably sue Intel and Apple... I just don't see this happening - Intel would have to do a complete design…

Quote: Originally posted by 1984 Maybe no insiders are contacting them because they know they are being closely watched by Apple. Better to go through a rumor/news site that isn't under the magnifying glass. Anyone think that maybe Apple leaked…

Quote: Originally posted by melgross I'm with you. It's hard to think that nothing would have leaked out before. Unless no work on this was done at all yet, and only those at the very top at both Apple and Intel know. But is has leaked …

Quote: Originally posted by FallenFromTheTree I wonder what kind of reaction there would be if Intel's CEO stood there on stage with SJ and announced. "Look folks, Intel wants you to enjoy using your computer again. Starting in mid 2006, we'…

NeXT migrated to Intel before. Tiger is a descendant of NEXTSTEP/OPENSTEP so they have the know-how, and the libraries even then supported endian conversions. Tiger is built on Darwin which already supports x86 and is well tested via the OSS c…

Quote: Originally posted by shetline You're laboring under the illusion that hearing the same story from multiple sources in any way, shape or form represents corroboration of that story. They're all just repeating the CNET story and taking CN…

Quote: Originally posted by rageous Apple just launches Tiger, and then drops a bomb like this that immediately makes people stop programming for it in it's current form? Unlikely. How about that they now have a version of the OS that supp…

If true, it seems to me that it implies two possible things: Apple is trying for a true turn-key system for pros - give them the machine, the software and you have everything you need tightly integrated. At the kind of price point they can do tha…

Quote: Originally posted by MasonMcD This is sillyness. The endian-ness of the Power line and Intel's chips are opposite. There is no direct corollary of Altivec, tens of thousands of apps wouldn't be binary compatible, etc. etc. Might not be …

Quote: Originally posted by hmurchison I shudder to think about what a 40" OLED screen would cost. The big news here is not really the 40" size - it's the fact that it was built on an amorphous silicon substrate instead of the polysilicon t…

Quote: Originally posted by macanoid? I'm very disappointed with the 2.5's. They're way, way louder than the 2.0's. I wish Apple wouldn't lie so much about the quietness of liquid cooling. They're not lying, just imagine what the noise would …

I've got a dual 2GHz Rev B. It's generally very, very quiet - just a slight hum. At times of heavy load however, it can get quite noisy - nowhere near the fan noise of my old dual G4, but still noticable. What makes it worse is some respect…

Quote: Originally posted by macaddict74 Hey people! Just wondering if you think I should go with the New 1.4Ghz OWC Mercury Extreme upgrade or the Powerlogix 7457 Series 100 1.4Ghz upgrade? Stay a very long way away from PowerLogix. From sa…

If you're planning on doing real commercial work, then FCP HD is not overkill. If you're a hobbyist who wants to do some more interesting things than what iMovie supports, then I'd save your money and buy Final Cut Express instead. What you lo…
