Lest I seem overly critical, here's something I just read that made me smile: http://www.macworld.co.uk/news/top_news_item.cfm?NewsID=4529

It's all cool. :-) Still, it has been a while since Apple has really touched the iBook and TiBook lines (I don't consider the 14" iBook a real upgrade). I seriously hope Apple isn't deciding to wait until MacWorld NY to announce something if something is ready. Frankly, the strategy of timing...

With all due with respect, no one mentioned Apple dying. But while Apple is stable, if iBook and PowerBook sales don't turn around real quick, the next quarter will merely be that: stable. Apple is in a unique position to record explosive growth and do some catch-up with the PC industry. It...

Apple did a great job holding the line. There are some things to be concerned about, however. Namely, iBook sales fell to 141,000 units in Q2 2002 from 185,000 in Q1 2002. Also, PowerBook sales fell to 89,000 units in Q2 2002 from 116,000 units in Q1 2002. Even worse, PowerBook sales have...

Cool! Congrats! Life must be good right about now. :-)

Hmmm, I guess that does put a damper on things. And I agree that the costs of all the things you have to pay for do add up - cell phone, landline, cable/DSL, etc. But I still feel long-term, digital satellite radio can become more than a broadcast medium and into a distribution medium. If...

Actually, I believe the correct definition of an acronym is an abbreviation pronounced as a word: "A word formed from the initial letters of a name, such as WAC for Women's Army Corps, or by combining initial letters or parts of a series of words, such as radar for radio detecting and...

What do mean "again?" :P

But with the 10 GB iPod already at $499, we're not talking much of a stretch there. Besides, costs will go down as they run the technology through several iterations. Maybe this time next year, Apple would be able to offer an XM-radio TiVo iPod for $699, which while expensive, wouldn't be that...

I think the genius part of it is, the XM feature (which would probably be expensive) would only be offered in the top-of-the-line iPod. So only people who really want it and willing to pay for it would have to pay for it. And even if decide you want to cancel your subscription to XM radio, the...

Actually, I haven't had any problems with wireless reception on my TiBook of a linksys wireless router. In fact, one of my housemates gets awful reception on his brand-new Fujitsu Lifebook, which also supposedly has an integrated antenna. I get 100% signal around the house, but his signal is...

It's probably already been mentioned before, but it occurred to me as I was posting a message regarding iPod sales figures. But a killer feature for the iPod more than anything else would be an integrated digital satellite radio receiver. We're starting to see XM radios being offered in some...

I'm in the camp that thinks Apple will focus on keeping the iPod primarily as a music player, not a PDA. As such, I consider the following to be very likely upgrades to the iPod this year: *20 GB model *64 MB of flash memory instead of the current 32 MB *15 hour battery life (higher...

5 out of 80 is not bad - that's 6.25%. If Apple had that kind of domestic and global marketshare right now, a lot of analysts would be picking up their jaws from the floor. Out of curiosity, how many of those 80 people have iPods vs. other MP3 players?

As captivating as the subject line is, I don't know what those figures may be. Has anyone heard what the latest iPod sales figures might be? Apple sold 125,000 in the first 60 days, but it's been more than 90 days since those figures have been released. Considering Apple held the line on...

BTW, does anyone have any new numbers on how many iPods Apple has sold to date? The figure was 125,000 in the first 60 days, but it's been 4 months since that statistic was made public. I'm wondering how quickly Apple can get to 1 million iPods which would be quite an unprecedented achievement...

Yeah, except in the new iMac commercial, people will be showing off their iMac wherever they've placed it and say, "This is MY iMac." It would be a great way to show how the iMac proudly and artistically fits in with any decor. :D

I have to say, sites like this is what makes being a Mac user so cool. You don't usually see users of other products doing the same thing. It's just a testament as to how great product design allows people to form an emotional relationship with the product. :) Actually, this would make a...

Well, all I can say is that there are quite a lot of "n00bs" (probably numbering in the millions) who refer to OS X as "ex," probably because of names like Windows XP and the Athalon XP. I myself actually refer to it is as "ten" (especially when referring to incremental versions like 10.1.3)...

Just wondering, but how many times have you heard people pronounce OS X as "EX" instead of "Ten?" I know Apple (for trademark reasons) has been pretty clear since the beginning about referring to OS X as version 10, but I've heard a lot of ordinary users referring it to is as OS "EX." Should...
