    Enough G5, how about some G3 news

    Article in The Register about IBM's upcoming 750GX (thats G3 to you and me) processor. It's expected to clock in at 733Mhz to 1.1Ghz. Big deal you say, well other improvements have been made. Most noticable is a doubling of L2 cache to 1MB. Other performance enhancements should combine to...

    And yall thought the G4 was dead ...

    There is an article on The Register about Motorola moving up the timetable on the latest G4 proccie (7457). It will be fabbed using a .13 micron process (vs .18 for current G4's) and will use less power, making them excellent candidates for use in Powerbooks (and maybe iBooks?). There is...

    There is currently a discussion on the rumoured 970 based PowerMacs and PowerBooks(!) over on slashdot right now (www.slashdot.org). Its an interesting read (basically a discussion on MacWhispers.com) and if the discussion here is getting a bit too "high brow", a mosey on over to /. is always a...

    Interesting article on 802.11g (aka Airport Extreme)

    I know that this may be better placed in the networking section, but I know that a lot of people don't venture over there unless they have problems, and this article really applies to everyone who has Airport Extreme stuff. The mods can move it if they think it is appropriate. Anyway, the...

    Apple posts a net profit of $14 million for the 2nd quarter

    Not earth shattering, but it did beat "analysts expectations" (gotta love them analysts :rolleyes:) and it's not a loss. http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2003/apr/16earnings.html

    Time to stir up the pot - DRM

    OK, follow me here. What if Apple started to embrace DRM (Digital Rights Management) in a big way? Lets say they embed DRM functionality into the hardware and make it very difficult (won't say impossible) to, for lack of a better term, "steal" copyrighted materials. In another thread...

    DVD vs vob vs VCD vs mpg

    I have a question about watching movies on a powerbook (pismo in this case). Given the choices above, which would be the best option for maximizing battery life. Is it better to just bring a physical dvd. Rip the dvd and watch it from the hd. Convert the dvd to a vcd and watch it. Or rip...

    Questions for the "Doves"

    OK, most of the threads are focusing so much on the "US bad/good War bad/good" that those who believe the war should not happen really don't have an opportunity to expouse anything deeper. Hopefully this thread will help. So, my questions are. 1. Many people who are against the war do not...

    Pismo Battery Question/Followups

    OK, I have one battery on my Pismo that went from showing 2:30 and then shutting down a few minutes later to not working at all. I have another battery that when fully charged shows 3+hrs, quickly drops to 2:30 (within a couple of minutes), lasts for about an hour to hour/half, and then...

    802.11a cardbus on 10.2

    Does anyone know which 802.11a cardbus adapters will work with 10.2? I've looked around on google and can't really find anything (tough because google wants to filter out the 'a' and you end up getting all 802.11 stuff). The manuf. sites that I've gone to don't list the Mac as supported...
