Yes, I was aware, but not very elegant or Apple style. It can be done better.

I'm guessing we won't be seeing any more shuffles as higher capacity nanos start to appear next year. The lowend nano can easily replace the shuffle. I just can't see anyone wanting to spend $129 shuffle over a $199 nano.

I've tried a few but never I really don't use widgets at all. I particularly don't like how widgets are implemented. They should just be able to run on the desktop like any other app. New PowerBooks this week, if any will be lame upgrades. An HD display like i've been hearing is pretty useless...

Even if we see dual, dual-core PPC PowerMacs, it's hard to believe that a company would dedicate the time and resources to an EOL product when most are concentrating on revamping their code for the x86 transition and beyond. Perhaps companies are looking at dual, dual-core x86 support, but these...

for the geek factor.

Take a look inside, see if the parts are truly generic, buy them, slap it together and clone the hard drive to see if it boots on the DIY system.

Macintelosh?

Yes, their entry Power4+ workstation is $5,575. Remove the overinflated IBM price, hardware, accessories and scale back the cache. I mean it has 3x the L2 cache of the G5 and 8MB of ECC L3 cache which the G5 does not have. The huge cache is what drives the CPU prices up. Don't know how well...

Platform neutral names work best. Hence the Power name dilemma. Everyone attributes it to the processor and leaving it will be awkward although removing it will be premature until PPC Macs are discontinued.

I don't like any of the choices, so I made my own.

What a nightmare! Couldn't we just of gotten a price cut on the Power CPUs? Arent' they blowing away all benchmarks at sub 3GHz speeds?

Umm.....iMac, eMac, iBook, ProBook, ProMac

I plan on upgrading to a dual 2GHz just for the added speed. I know I will get 2 solid years of use out of it before I actually upgrade again which puts me at summer of 2007 when I think we'll see the Intel Macs will really start to take off. Keep in mind though whichever Mac you decide to buy...

The switch to Intel doesn't mean that anything said about the PPC was bullshit, it's simply that Apple can't continue to develop competitive products with anything the PPC roadmap has in store for the desktop in the coming years. Apple doesn't necessarily see Intel as a better alternative in...

Oh god! I hope not. The integrated hardware is the basis for all the eMachines bargain basement crap.

Torvalds himself says his inspiration for Linux came from using SunOS.

I'm hoping Intel only has a hand in the CPU and nothing else. No 9xx chipsets found on x86 boards.

I've been thinking about a developer system, I'd like to see what hardware is in there. I wonder if it lacks the hardware dongle. $1499 to find out, I may just try it.

I was wondering when someone was going to mix up Xenon and Xeon. Perhaps Mac will get a rebadged Xeon called PowerXeon or Peon for short. :D

Watching the keynote again I noticed there's no mention of any specific Intel CPU. A P4 was in his demo box, and in development systems, and will certainly make it on some systems, but I wonder if the PowerMac will use Xeons or Pentium Ds first. I'm just wondering what "great PPC products...
