    Incase a G5 PowerBook isn't over the horizon

    Actually the article mentions the 7448 has a 200Mhz FSB. Per core? Don't know. Anybody?

    Incase a G5 PowerBook isn't over the horizon

    I'd get a dual core now if it were available, but only if the G5 is so far away it's not worth the wait.

    Incase a G5 PowerBook isn't over the horizon

    Dual core G4s would certain me over until I can get a G5 PowerBook.

    Tiger in Janruary!?

    January may be too soon, but it's likely that Apple would release 64 bit versions of it's bundled software coincide with Tiger's release. I would imagine 64 bit FCP, Motion, etc would all be available around the same time as Tiger so on Tiger's release date it isn't overshadowed by questions on...

    iMac G5

    Sounds like you'll be better off with a PowerMac instead if you really need all that juice. The tradeoffs you get with the iMac G5 in terms of expansion and throttled down architecture may not be worth it. Of course there's cost and for what you get with bundled in the iMac G5, the PowerMacs...

    New iMac G5 Setup

    Transferred? You mean removed and used elsewhere? Well I replaced my G5's RAM and reused the memory in an AMD system I have running BSD.

    iMac G5

    You know that I give it some thought. Aside from battery life, which I'm sure will improve with some low power version of the G5, Dell and Alienware have a chunky gaming laptop which is neither thin nor light for the extreme gaming and performance user. Maybe Apple might be able to ease the G5...

    iMac G5

    The cooling is the main factor, then the power requires which is why it's not in a laptop or tablet. Even the casual user looks for increased performance in the form of more responsive apps to make the experience of using the machine that much better. That it has a G5 may not matter much to...

    New iMacs in September FOR REAL

    No doubt a lot of people thought the design was very cool looking, but I honestly never went for that look. It's a space saver for sure, but if they get it right this time, it'll be a mini-tower or some other small form factor that has at least an AGP for video upgrade and not and all-in-one...

    Tiger screens (Dashboard, more)

    The picture with the startled telemarketer look like it might be the new display design. On the very last picture it looks like it has two clear plastic feet and a metal arm incased in plastic. Doesn't seem too consistent with the tower design, so maybe it is a new iMac.

    Oracle 10g available on OTN !!!

    Quite simply, the other guys - Sun, Dell, IBM, HP all put a heavy premium on services that are releated to the data center. Hardware prices are also astronomical. The only hardware that even comes close to Apples is the entry level, stripped down parts. It just doesn't compare to what youget...

    It's so ugly it couldn't possibly be part of the Aqua UI.

    Omikron Basic or similar, need feedback

    I hear good things about AppleScript, but I've never had the time to really look into it. My understanding is that you can use it to create software from simple to sophisticated.

    Omikron Basic or similar, need feedback

    Unfortunately I think you're looking for something that may not even exist for the current OS anyway. OOP is really the way to go, although for simpler tasks it's overkill to have to think in OOP terms. Personally I can't see myself coding any other way. It is a steep learning curve if you...

    Omikron Basic or similar, need feedback

    You'll probbaly want to use TrueBASIC, but it's not OS X native yet. You can code old style if you wish, no object anything, even the old style line numbering works. You'll have to run it classic though until te OS X version is complete.

    What's left for WWDC?

    It's the PC industry, the masses are expecting cheap, affordable machines. The core of users that find the Mac easy to use and care little if anything about the hardware would certainly make the move to x86. And lets face it there are plenty that fall in that category. Fragmentation is...

    What's left for WWDC?

    Because Apple is in business to sell hardware. They'd pretty much be out of business or at the very least their revenue stream would dry up drastically if they take the one core piece of software and convert it to x86. The diehards would never leave, but a typical user interested only in OS X...
