    New Apple monitor/TV?

    I say, let's start thinking about what would look good in our living room, not on our desktop... :)

    New Apple monitor/TV?

    I think I may have started that rumor. I just said things were heading that direction. All we use TVs for now is to display a signal from one place or another. Already, there are Flat Panel LCD "TVs" in stores. I just figure on Apple moving into this space soon, and, in my mind, Airport...

    How we listen/buy our music

    I hope you start buying more music when you graduate... I used to be like you until I realized that, as a musician, Music Piracy makes it almost impossible for me to make money off of album sales. Musicians really only make money from touring now, and it's kinda sad. I could go into a huge...

    How we listen/buy our music

    I'm a musician, so I try to buy cds as a matter of album collection. If I know I only want a song or two from an album, I buy on ITMS. But I do really just like the idea of having the full album as it was put together by the artist. I'll tell you one thing... since ITMS, I stopped pirating...

    Apple Finance?

    I got a Computer Loan from a credit union and it was like 9% APR. That's how I bought my 17" PB. Credit Unions are definitely the way to go if you can get a loan through one.

    Or you could buy the Airport Extreme Hub and the Airport Express Hub. :)

    What's the bandwidth on Firewire-less? I have yet to see any specs....

    NEW - Airport Express

    Well, the next step could be wireless iPod. If your iPod can connect wirelessly to your stereo (without those crappy radio transmitters), you'll be set! Of course, it'd be nice to have iTunes controls built-in to your receiver, but let's get real. I'm assuming that Firewire-less is going to...

    NEW - Airport Express

    Captain Code: Okay, fair enough. I missed that pic. Good find! However, the problem still remains, if you want to use the Airport Express Hub to connect to the Internet, you can't connect it to your wired LAN... not without another router. Most ISPs now store your MAC Address, so you...

    NEW - Airport Express

    I'm not sure this is true. Where did you get this info? I don't see it on Apple's site. The tech specs say WAN port but no LAN port.

    NEW - Airport Express

    Depends what you want to do. The Airport Express Base Station has no LAN port, so if you want to connect to a wired network, you will need a regular base station. Otherwise, this will provide wireless access to an Internect connection for up to 10 computers. At the same time, it can also...

    Apple - two words to consider: "Home Automation"

    What would be really cool and a great stepping stone toward connecting all your media and entertainment with your computer would be wireless monitor connections. You could create a wireless adaptor for your TV or receiver and there ya go! I think eventually, we won't have "TVs" but giant...

    Why has sherlock failed as a tool?

    Well, I only skimmed, but I don't think anyone mentioned that one problem with Sherlock is that it tries to be a few different apps in one, a paradigm Apple is trying to shift away from. Web searches happen in your web browser. Why would you bring up a separate search tool before opening your...

    WWDC predictions!

    I think the idea will be to be able to transport your favorite movies quickly and easily, and preview them on the device if you so desire. I would imagine that true viewing would still occur on a tv or monitor of some kind.

    Check that, already there.

    WWDC predictions!

    I would guess that music videos in iTMS are a definite within 3 months.

    Apple should re-enter innovation.

    We're in complete agreement there. I can't wait to see what Apple has in mind for consolidating the various forms of media into one place for sale, storage, and transport!

    Apple should re-enter innovation.

    The problem I'm having with this whole argument is that it seems like Fryke is expecting an innovation like the Notebook computer (which by the way came around a long time before any of the TiBooks). The problem is that "innovations" like that only come 2 or 3 per decade and then take a decade...
