New Apple Lust Objects

This machine supports up to 8 gigs.

But yeah, I figured it would only help out a little at this point. Going from 1 to 3 gigs a year ago was great, but now with CS3 it hurts, probably since I use super fast intel's with many processors and much ram when at work.

I just can't believe how spoiled we were. I remember when I'd routinely wait 20 minutes for an image to open in photoshop, or sit there as a Quark file took that long to print something.

Oh, right, you already have CS3. I was forgetting it was Universal.

Dan, you should consider doing a clean reinstall if you haven't done one for a while.

It hasn't been that long. Fact is, it's not that sluggish, just that CS3 is noticeably a bit more so then CS2 was.

I have the first generation G5 power mac, 1.8Ghz and have 3 gigs of ram. I do lots of photoshop and audio stuff. Things have seemed a bit sluggish lately and for 120 bucks I can add another 2 gigs of RAM. Will that really make a huge difference, or should I save my money for eventually getting a machine with a faster/newer processor?

I was in almost precisely this situation last week: Identical Mac, similar use. The tipping point in my decision was whether I could run Logic Studio maximally well. Result: I now have a spanky fresh Mac Pro with 4x3.0GHz cores + 5G RAM sitting under my desk.

This is the one saving grace of having a shitty old-ass computer at work -- it makes my Powerbook G4 seem snappy.

ugh. I bought Performer not to long ago and haven't fully tested it out, but it seems to be fine so long as I don't crazy with the effects and plugins. I'm in no place to buy a new computer as I'm rather broke and don't have a fulltime job (my choice), so this will have to do for a little while longer.

I may sell my old Mac, if anyone wants to make an offer. 2x1.8GHz G5, 3G RAM, bluetooth and wireless. It'd be nice to sell one of its displays with it, a 23" original Apple Cinema Display (not brushed metal). Both are in perfect condition and were purchased new.

Apple Inc aid on Tuesday it has introduced models of its popular iPod touch handheld computer and iPhone with double the memory available in previous versions.
Apple, which previously said it had sold more than 4 million iPhones since its introduction last June, says the iPhone will now also sell with 16 gigabytes of memory.
The iPod touch, a touch-screen device that plays music and videos and can surf the Web, adds a 32 gigabyte model. Both both devices will sell for $499, Apple said.

grrrr.....this announcement came 7 hours after i purchased the 16G touch from the apple website!! after talking on the phone with a rep i am able to send back the ipod when it arrives and then re-order the 32G.

it would be nice if they took the ability to purchase off within a reasonable timeframe of any updating of models.

^ this. I didn't think it was possible to be so happy with a keyboard.

^^ also.

I recently picked up a MacBook for cheap (brand new in box w/Tiger as the OS). I run Ableton on it w/ loads of plugs and software fx and it's soooo smooth. Love this thing. Will add Logic next and I can retire my G4 (which I love, but still doing my audio production on OS9). The only drawback is having to update/re-purchase/lose many favorite items due to Universal Binary. Otherwise, I totally recommend this machine.

Anyway, next purchase is ipod shown ^^^ so I can watch teeny videos ripped off Y0utub3 ; )

MacBook pro bumps tomorro

it's been like that for about 2 hours now :D

:( disappointing

Not the US store, New MB and MBP, MBP with multitouch, penryn across the board.

i guess at this point apple needs to introduce something new every month?

um when tf is anyone going to actually get their hands on a time capsule AND

can i mount it on some other computer in borneo as long as it's all connected up?

Every week so far since MWSF. I tried to get a time campsule last week but no joy in NY, February is gone now. However Why can't apple TV do time capsule functions as well?

it's been something new every *week* so far cutty

well you can't mount appletv on your computer, can you? doesn't it just work thru itunes?

it would be nice if they took the ability to purchase off within a reasonable timeframe of any updating of models.

^ lol u gay

whoa $1649 for a refurbished 2.4 ghz macbook pro??

damn

i wonder how long that's going to last. fuck a multi-touch, only the "tap" looks cool.

i guess w/ the new ones you get 2x as much video memory. can you add memory to a geforce?

Video memory is locked in (except maybe for some high-end desktop cards).

i recall sometime in the mid-90s adding an 8mb stick of memory to our 486's video card.

that would have been a decked out 486...

you're right, that doesn't make sense. it was probably our pentium that i'm thinking of.

did that enable you to play 7TH GUEST???????????????????????

yeah you wouldn't want to miss SOUP CANS

Time capsule is now out and I am on the wrong side of the Atlantic.

I'm going to get the ReadyNAS Duo, which appears to fuck it into a cocked hat (i.e. two drives instead of one so that you can do storage AND backup; dedicated p2p software than can be accessed remotely and run even while your home computer's off; an FTP server; can beam stuff all over the house, even to a PS3; can swap out the drives even while it's running; etc etc)

link?

I have only found stuff about the announcement, no actual info. I am hoping someone hacks apple TV so it can be used as time capsule.

never mind, found them.

the $1649 macbook pros were gone by the next morning.

:(

push email and Exchange support in iPhone now

also bbc iplayer

looks like i'll finally be able to use wifi at work, too .

where's my ichat

they haven't said about signing apps yet, but someone will work a way past that for an ichat client surely

i would assume they are making their own ichat app though. why would they sit and wait till a 3d party makes one?

some crappy agreement with AT&T i imagine - they like the revenue from SMS...

e.g. i don't see any confirmation yet that apps have access to EDGE - did i miss that?

Spore for the iPod/iPhone
