...and I agree with you. With Dell coming out with 2.2GHz laptops, I think $3,500 is an awful lot to charge for 1GHz, OS X or not. I don't feel like paying all that extra money JUST for the OS. I mean, so much for the cheaper price of OS X compared to XP.

Dreadnought, could you check the widget with this (-> 97758 <-) user id and tell me if the arrow works?

will speed be a major issue then?
or will we have to catch up with the wintel world, ghz for ghz? (which i doubt will be necessary once ALL computers are faster than the needs of people)
Exactly why I am still with mac. Just waiting until speed isnt an issue, because all comps will be fast as hell, and OS is more important. Waiting for that and a real Kazaa client for mac (and not iSwipe)...

I turned off magnification in the dock after a couple of days, and I assume everyone else would to.
Sure it's nice to look at but it's completely useless and always gets in the way.
eh I have a bit of magnification on my dock simply because I think it's damn cool! I've got it small enough that it doesn't get in the way but I just like running my mouse over the dock....yeah I'm a recent switcher...

I agree...32MB VRAM is needed... Also, get rid of the CD-ROM and 128MB Ram standard unless Apple brings the low-end iBook to $999.

I've been trying the G4(7450) build today.
There was noticeable speed gain compared to Mozilla 1.7.
Firefox loads a bit quicker, but I never closes the browser so it don't matter..
Also all my bookmarks is in Mozilla..

So I got an XBox 360 and now want to take advantage of the media capabilities. I was thinking about replacing my hi-def DirecTivo with a Media Center PC but would love to have something from the Mac side.
Anyone have any opinions on Elgato's solutions versus the Media Center PC?

I think things should get more exciting later in the year - Intel PowerMacs (hopefully they are more than just a chip change and are an awesome, significant upgrade), true video iPods, a Mac mini DVR type of home media center, and hopefully a couple surprises.
Still plenty of 2006 left for Apple to wow us... ;)

heck going into the weeks before MWNY everyone was SO SURE the PowerMacs would be updated... They weren't... then one month later... they were (not a great update but they were updated).
Fact is you can't base your buying habbits on rumors... You'll be no better off and just drive youself crazy.
Second guessing Apple HW/SW releases? You'd have better luck playing LOTTO. :D

i know it's sarcasm but guessing what apple is going to do isn't THAT hard...add a little to the mhz of current systems, maybe upgrade a few minor things here and there and VOILA next revision...altho i will say nobody knows when a brand NEW product is coming out or what it will be.

I think he was refering to Microsoft, as they just announced Bluetooth support for Windows XP. So, he was right after all.

. I am definitelynot a 'power user', but I am a hardcore gamer. And when I see a friend with a year old PC playin Warcraft with less jumpiness then my 6 month old powermac, it makes me want to switch. Power does matter to me, and you cant get much power for the amount of money I have when it comes to computers from apple.
I'm sorry about the previous two posts. When they posted they did not display right even after editing and then they wouldn't let me delete them so here is my third try. Copy and paste rather than pressing the quote button.
What PowerMac your profile says you have an iMac 333. Also I would like to see a $1600 PC beat a Dual 867/DDR. It wouldn't have a chance when you started heavy multitasking and other real world tests. Then go ahead an move on to your games and if you had a real graphics card in the 867 it would beat the PC in that to all while it was burning a cd, getting mail, surfing the net, and making an iMovie. The biggest thing though is that even at 1600 most PC's do not include all the standard hardware that you get in a Mac.

I ordered my 1.25 the day they were released from a good friend of mine who sells to Dreamworks and Disney. It will be here on or before Friday. I am so excited. See, I've had everything else set up for the past month, cinema display, NTSC monitor, reciever and such, and they've just been driving me crazy.

I like firefox, much speedier than Safari (not a whole lot, but still noticable), and I hate the fact that when you have multiple GIFs on one page, that the computer goes up to 100% CPU and slows down... firefox doesnt do that for me.

Well, if a hard drive is going to fail, statistics show that it is more likely to do so in its first year. Secondly, I have had more than a few occasions where we do an RMA on an item, not just hard drives, and the replacement is faulty also.
Just as a last note, just because one person has a problem with a machine does not make the model as a whole have a problem and just because you had a problem with a Wallstreet does not mean there is a problem with the iBooks and TiBooks.

At Pascack Hills, I have been on computers running NT4 and Windoze 2000, and both have *rarely* crashed on me. However, it's not common for me to see OS X crash on me. Even when I had 10.1 on my iMac 233 for a short time, it did not crash one time.
My point is that as stable as the Windoze OS is, as you point out, OS X, simply put, is even more stable. Although there are some issues with hardware, usually, that's with upgraded hardware, the OS performs very well under the power of the G4.
I have also heard about XP not crashing as much as the previous OSs. So I'll say it as it is: The Windoze OS is improving, but incremently closer to perfect. If an error pops up, at least explain what should be done about.

Could have implications for a Sony-Ericsson-Apple superphone. I'm not sure if the 1.8" drives (that's in the ipod) can fit into a phone. It'll have to be one of these flash media cards. CompactFlash, Microdrives, and MemorySticks seem to have the biggest growing potential.
