New iMacs (and iPods)
Dilaudid writes "According to
this story at MacWorld Apple has just announced three new iMac models - all with Bluetooth and AirPort Extreme. More importantly there are new iPods too. Cool." The iMacs got a speed bump up to 1.25GHz, and the iPods were capacity-bumped up to 40GB.

"You lied to me! There is a Swansea!"
2 Firewire 400 ports, but no firewire 800.
I would have thought they'd move to the new spec.
*shrug*

if I could afford one maybe i'd care more.

"You worthless post!"

To this day I still can't forget the comment Taco made when he posted the initial IPod announcement:
No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame.
Oh well, I guess opinions change.
Seriously though, the ipod is great...
Maan
... an iCluster of these ...
Because that defy's the business strategy of "Bleed those artsy-fartsy halfwits dry"
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!!!!
Is there space to fit 9 fans into a Powerbook chassis? Maybe they'll make it bigger.. say 5 inches thicker.
D'OH!!!!
And here I am with an out-dated 30GB ipod....
Maybe it's time for those pitchforks and flaming torches again....
I thought you were saying that the new iPods had BlueTooth and Airport Extreme support, heh.
Now, that would rock. Apple, are you listening?
Wow, I'll bet Steve Jobs is reading your Slashdot post right now thinking "wireless! Damn, why didn't I think of that!".
"*pple : proudly going out of business for 25 years!"
uh, no. America is THE most important country in the world. Sorry man, that's how it is.
Maybe it's a new version of the more recent worms that copies itself from machine to machine and auto-comments on any Apple related post with a variant of the same message?
Once the author perfects the worm, he's is expecting to have godlike karma in no time.
...to help me at my freelance gig where I copy a 17 Meg file from one folder on the hard drive to another folder.
I have experience in copying files of all sizes and can provide references! What's the pay-scale?
.. because a white hemisphere with a silver moveable thingy would look too much like a bizarre sex toy?
... Apple has finally broken the 1GHz barrier :-)
...and Macs are like a Trojan Horse to Microsoft. Once you go Mac, you never go back.
Funny how it all works.
What is this "radio" of which you speak?
Color LCDs use significantly more power than monochrome ones.
Perhaps, just for you, they will come out with a color plasma screen version. With a thick cord that tethers it to the big 70 pound lead-acid battery that you wheel around in a cart.
Mercy!

Why not big internal speakers and a permanently attached subwoofer?
Heck, each unit could ship on it's own pallet.
A Good Intro to NetBS
OK, Problem one appears to be that are are using a box that doesn't ship for 3-5 weeks. That tends to make them slow. So in reality I'm guessing that it will take you ($delivery_date + $unpacking_time + $boot_time + 5min) to install Acrobat 6.
Also, are you sure you are qualified for a job that requires you to copy a file form one folder to another? Maybe you should practice the following: "Would you like fries with that?" and "Do you want to SuperSize that?"
Have a nice day
but it didn't catch fire like the original iMacs did
You're thinking of the PowerBook 5300.
Why should Apple even bother with a format nobody uses?
Because they sell computers that nobody uses? Sounds like providing OGG would be par for the course.
Of course not! I was thinking of one of those gas-powered portable generators, with keyed ignition, naturally.
They say the first thing to go is your penis. Well, it's either that or your brain. I forget which...

Why would you ever $question?
Don't you know $alt is SO MUCH COOLER?
I mean, it $reasons!
Jesus! If you fuckheads paid attention, you'd realize $endingFlame!

Crikies! Am I old enough now to get that joke?
Your wallet must get very heavy. You also must have a very strong belt, or use both a belt and other means to hold your pants up..
I'd hate for my notes to weigh that much..
bork bork bork!
Or maybe I did buy the ten millionth song, and they didn't want to admit that it was "Sexy Motherfucker" by Prince...

"America is THE most important country in the world. Sorry man, that's how it is."
Some would say that it's 50 countries with a friendly agreement
Does anyone else find it funny that apple lists a VW New Beetle as an iPod accessory? Wait until I tell my wife...
:q!
At the student union the other day a guy was sharing music with everyone around wirelessly within a pretty hefty range. I was two floors up and behind some doors and still got pretty good fidelity. I really wish he would have stopped though. Ugh, what is it about terrible musicians that makes them think people want to hear them, even for free?
Translation: I only have 300 bucks, and want to by a Mac. I can almost buy a shitty Dell or Gateway, why can't I almost afford a Mac, too? It's not fair.
