MacOSRumors' MWSF Roundup

lol Arn, I love the little history ;-)

They got nothing we haven't seem before really. It looks like a lot of their stuff is collected from other rumor sites and passed as their own. Porbably just scraped it together. I remember when MOSR was a pretty good rumors site...not anymore. When was the last time they got something right that wasn't already glaring us in the face?

Has anyone read the article at MacOSRumors?
It's laughable! They're still insisting on new LCD screens and revamped iMacs!
After that they go on to talk about a big, gawdy, brushed-metal TiVo. With a (quoting here): "a button layout on its front panel that is remarkably similar to the new inset red-green-blue interface buttons on Cocoa brushed-metal applications."
Blue? :confused:
Since when has there been a blue button for minimize (I'm guessing the blue is minimize, because red and green aren't)?
This just shows how little anybody knows about this keynote right now.
Kudos to Apple on the best kept secret before an expo! Either SJ is announcing nothing (over his dead body) or something huge.
I'm having so much fun just reading this stuff!

MOSR used to be a good site, I stopped monitoring it a while back after all I ever read were updates about their email and web server, not the news I was looking for.

Yeah I take everything from macosrumors very lightly, but hopefully some of these will come true, I would still love an apple digital photo frame, I'd be the first to place an order or two.
And a music iApp is still missing so it would be great to see that as well, it would compliment iMovie in being able to mix your own soundtracks....lets wait and see.

Another video ipod rumor... http://money.excite.com/jsp/nw/nwdt_rt.jsp?section=news&cat=INDUSTRY&feed=reu&news_id=reu-n03181110&date=20030103

I won´t give anything on that article. Those people don´t have the slightest clue.

"The existing processor is running out of steam and Apple will make a processor change in the next 12 months," Enderle said. "So expect product announcements based on that new processor next year, because they'll move either to Intel or to the IBM version of the PowerPC."

Intel version of the Power PC??!?!?!?!
WTF are they talking about. Do they know ANYTHING???

Hmm... the P4 uses the x86 ISA... would it be possible for Intel to make a processor similar to the P4 but with the PPC Istruction Set Architecture? (probably impossible due to chip desgin differences, but I don't know).

Sure they could, but why? They basicaly own the PC market, they would need to design and test a new chip, as well as converting a plant over to making it. All for a chip that won't ever sell as well as their other products. (Even if it is better.) That's a lot of cost for not much return. Now, AMD might think it was worth the money, and they would get a lot of press for it that might help their x86 line, but there is no real upside for Intel. (Not to start the AMD rumor again, just saying it is plausable where Intel making a PPC isn't.)

That is not what he is talking about. You need to learn how to read.
