    An iPhone article on NYT

    It said (and says) $418 on my home page but then as I click through the price goes to $518. The airline in british airways. Vanguard

    Fun rumors at mac os rumors

    Normally I don't link to rumor sites because it seems like all mac fans already read them. However, Sunday's edition of mosr was especially good. http://www.mosr.com/ It predicts the solution to our performance problems, new iBooks, new iMacs, a new "Digital Lifestyle device" (iPhone?)...

    An iPhone article on NYT

    The machine you just described would be *really* tempting for me. It's the $800 that makes it tough. For $800 I could get: a low end PC two plane tickets to Greece 6 palm pilots a storage device from snapserver.com a new wardrobe or restaurant lunches for 9 months. Still, it might...

    10.2 shipping this week!

    Wow, doesn't that work out to about $30 per day for OSX? I guess you weren't one of the guys that complained about the .mac pricing. :) Vanguard

    An iPhone article on NYT

    True, phones are expensive if they don't come with the plan. I wonder what their margins are? Maybe at 30% (or less) they won't have to be so expensive. Anyway, I hope apple builds them. I'd like a fun gadget. :) Vanguard

    I could easily imagine this written as The KDE guys are doing great, they deserve credit for it.

    An iPhone article on NYT

    You guys should check this out: http://www.nytimes.com/2002/08/19/technology/19APPL.html?8hpib They mostly point to a few OS features of jaguar that seem to pave the road to a cell phone. I bet that an iPhone would be at least as successful as the iPod (unless they charge $500)...

    Home Network/Firewall

    This is good advice. I use the SMC barricade and it works great for me.

    New Macs SLOWER than their predecessors?

    What you may not know is that beyond a meg or so most of that cache was just for marketing anyway. The bulk of the performance gains come from the first 256k or so. Increasing it to 512 will give you maybe another 10% gain. Going from 1mb to 3mb hardly makes any difference at all in terms...

    Censorship

    So this is where negative threads go to die. You don't need to delete it when you have a forum like this. Vanguard

    Gaaaa!!!! So much skepticism!!!!

    People give apple too much credit. When they resell somebody's screen or airport card they are awesome but when they put slow processors in their machine it's motorola's fault. On a different topic, I agree that shutting down the site was an immature move. I wonder what admin is like in...

    Censorship

    Censorship is terrible. The forum in which I use my voice was taken away because I didn't drink the kool-aid. I wonder if this thread will be removed too? Vanguard

    New Power Mac G4 systems to be unveiled tomorrow with speeds up to 1.25GHz

    Here's a lesson, don't make stuff up because you'll end up looking silly. Your post was completely fact-free. 1. XP takes advatage of dual processors just as well as OSX. 2. XP/NT has been taking advantage of the graphics card for years. 3. Nobody I know would say that the OSX gui is...

    Future of Apple With x86

    I agree with just about everything you've said. Apple hardware is slow but their software is top notch. One point on contention: I don't agree that moving to x86 means allowing anybody to build hardware. It seems like it would be easy to add some required piece of hardware to the apple...

    Qaud G4 Towers on the way?

    Quad G4s won't make most of my computing tasks faster than dual G4's would. The problem is that most of my tasks are not parallel. However, the pure geek appeal of a quad machine might be enough to move apple back to the "if I was going to buy right now this would be it" list. I used to...
