New Apples Next Week
Vicissidude writes "CNN/Money reports: 'Apple may be gearing up to unveil a new slate of mini-Macs and may also release updated versions of its popular iBook laptop computers as early as next Tuesday, according to unconfirmed reports on a Web site that tracks Apple.' The Web site Think Secret reported three new Mac mini and two new iBook part numbers have appeared in Apple's retail database, indicating that new models are imminent. Apple would neither confirm nor deny the reports. The new mini models will be priced at $499, $599 and $699, with new iBooks priced at $999 and $1,299, according to the original story at Think Secret."
Increased memory, check.
Slight CPU jump, check.
Updated graphics card, check.
Looking back at all the posts lamenting how everyone and their grandma would buy a Mini if only it had slightly higher specs, apple should be seeing a whole lot of purchases from the slashdot crowd.
I've got my money ready. Do you?
Ball matching game for MacOS X: http://www.funpause.com/atlantis/
I got the game, my balls still don't match. Thanks for nothing.
I really would like to buy an iBook, maybe even a Powerbook. But I refuse to as Apple are too bloody arrogant to add a second mouse button!
Most Mac users admit that the OS now fully supports this, and on a desktop it's easy to plug a better mouse in. But a laptop touch pad isn't upgradeable! And carrying a mouse everywhere isn't a great option
"Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me, fool me three times, damn that reality distortion field really works."
You must surely mean:
There's an old saying in Tennessee. I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee, that says: "Fool me once..."
[pause]
"... shame on...".
[pause]
"Shame on you..."
[pause]
"If fooled, you can't get fooled again."
- your friend, George W. Bush
"If fooled, you can't get fooled again."
You beat me to it. I was going to quote that because it cracks me up.
I can't believe the President of the Worlds most powerful nation, is such a fucktard.
Shame on you USA.
War crimes, torture, lies, illegal spying... Would someone give Bush a blowjob, already, so he can be impeached?
Depends what you mean by soon.
From idsoftware.com:
I joke, of course :-)
When your iBook died, did it make a sound like this: "Beep beep beep"?
Did you lose a paper that you were working on for school? Was it a really good paper, too?
You see? You see? Your stupid minds! Stupid! Stupid!
Apple doesn't need to upgrade the iBook line half as much as they need more powerful PowerBooks.
I agree. Clearly, the inability to put a G5 in the PowerBooks is a huge problem, and one that Apple really needs to address somehow. If only they could find a chip to put in with lower power requirements in the performance range they need... it might require some sort of dramatic step, like switching from PPC to x86, but I think it would be worth it. I hope Apple is willing to take that bold step someday.
OMG!!!
.. KICK ASS!!
.. or maybe "Fart Mini". Yeah.. kids will love it.
Apple's totally gonna FART next week!
Awesome!!!!!!!111111
I bet it's gonna smell like flowers. Or maybe that smell that comes out of the box when you buy a new powerbook
Apple ROCKS IT!
I'm SOOO gonna buy an Apple Fart. I hope they come in a bottle. A can would be cool too, but that's what Dell would do. Maybe next week after Apple's announcement, LOL!
I'm guesssing the name's "iFart"
OMG!!!! I. Can't. Wait.
