I heard a rumor a few weeks ago that Apple was planning an in-store event for October 24. Has anyone else heard about this or have any more information? They're finally opening an Apple Store near me and the "lifestyle center" where they are is holding its grand opening on the 24th. I'm just...

That is orgasm worthy.

Oh come on, you can't blame Apple or Steve Jobs for this one, any more than you can blame them for not having the Windows version out yet. The only way the big record companies would sign on in the first place was if it was Mac only (so as to keep the "test" user base to a low number). As for...

I had never heard of Apple Records/Corps until the first time I read about them suing Apple Computer. Personally I think the Beatles are highly over-rated and these lawsuits ridiculous.

I found this article on one of the forums I frequent and thought that it would be appropriate to share here. I am not qualified to evaluate whether or not all of the assertions made by the author are true or not, so I post it here as raw information and subject for discussion and debate. This...

I used to do a lot of shopping at Buy.com because they have good prices and great support. But lately (the last couple of months) I haven't been able to log into my account using Safari and I've noticed some other problems as well. Then there is this whole thing and their apparent disdain for...

I don't think this will prove quite the surge that you seem to expect. I read somewhere that when it comes to upgrading their software print/graphic design houses generally lag about eighteen to twenty-four months behind the release of a piece of software to actually upgrading to it. So you...

The biggest boon to my discovering new music in the past ten years has been getting Sirius Satellite Radio (http://www.sirius.com/). In the six months that I've had it I've discovered more "new" artists than I had in the six years preceding it. First of all there is the huge selection of...

Macworld magazine just did a review of 20" LCDs and one of the ones they reviewed was the Formac offering. I can't remember exactly what conclusions they reached, but in general I believe they thought it was a good monitor, if not quite as good as one or two others.

While I admit that thought of a 20" LCD from Apple is nice I've long since come to the conclusion that I would much rather pay the same amount of money to pick up two 17" LCDs. The 20" CD would give me a screen resolution of 1680 x 1050 while a pair of 17"s would give me 2560 x 1024. To me...

I think we all had to know that the G5 case was going to be bigger than the G3/4 case in at least one dimension. After all, the knowledge that the redesigned motherboard was larger than the previous one has been floating around for quite a while. I'll admit that I'm a bit surprised at how much...

Actually the numbers would look more like this: 4k of songs = $600,000,000 5k of songs = $750,000,000 6k of songs = $900,000,000 50k of songs = $7,500,000,000 Of course these are maximum numbers, but that is where they could go to since the judgment can be up to $150,000 per copyrighted...

This is true, but at the same time look how easy it is to pull those fans out. No screws, no cables, just slip them into the slot. Based on the cooling requirements of the machine I think the solutions they came up with a very elegant. And I'm looking forward to getting a look at one since...

Eh. If I hadn't been sleepy and on my way to bed I would have done a much better job of it, but thanks.

I've just been looking at all of the different pictures on Apple's web site (especially the 1,440 x 900 ones), studying the design and thinking about why they did what they did. After doing this for a day or two and I'm really starting to appreciate it. I think part of my initial feelings (I...

Here you go. Here are your G5 Powerbook and iBook. I hope you don't mind but they had to be made a little bit larger and with a little more cooling in them.

Well at 1.8GHz it has a power dissipation of 42W -- 12W higher than a 1GHz G4. While this is pretty good for how much of a speed increase it is, it is still more. As for getting it in to the iMac, how long was it between the introduction of the G4 and its inclusion in an iMac or eMac? I think...

Saying there should be a G5 for $1k is like asking for dual P4s for $500. If you want to spend $500 on a PC you're probably going to get a Celeron and if you want to spend $1k on a Macintosh you're going to get a G4. That's just the way it is. Eventually the price on the PowerMacs will come...

I think that is one blobby, ugly render. It's taken a little while, but the new G5 case design has really grown on me. I'll have to see one in person to make my final determination, but I think it's a winner.

On the contrary, I think it is absolutely perfect having them right where they were. Instead of having to navigate ton the end of the tab bar (like in Netscape) or to the menubar (like Camino) when I want to close a tab with the mouse I can do it as I'm selecting tabs and moving through the...
