[MWSF 2005] What do you expect ?


Recommended Posts

Well if you have ever opened up a 17" powerbook, there is plenty of space on either side of the logic board for adequate cooling for a G5 processor. The same does not hold true for the 15" and 12" models. There may be a slight speedbump for the powerbooks but who knows. I would not expect a G5 in at least the 17" till the this summer.

An eMac update is almost for certain.... the iMac has a G5 with its very small design (granted the FSB is nowhere near the normal powermac) i'm sure they could shove a G5 there.

iPod micro is a possibility... as is the iMac micro. We'll just have to wait and see.

another... :) i like this one a lot better.

There is a major flaw with that half-clickwheel design. The flaw is that you have to pick up your thumb and move it when you reach one end or the other of the wheel. That was Apple's reasoning behind going with a round design in the first place. With most other players, you have the same problem, you have to take your thumb off of the control to start over again. With the iPod, you simply keep going around in a circle, and keep your thumb in contact with it at all times. Apple is not going to abandon the circular clickwheel anytime soon.

13.3" PowerBook  :woot:

That would be cool!

Why? :huh:

Anyway, expecting powerbook upgrade, eMac upgrade or discontinuation (unlikely I know), 'headless iMac' is getting more plausable by the second too.

iPod Mini upgrade would be most welcome too, the usual apple trend of anoying christmas buyers :pinch:

Guess you haven't seen Sony's 13.3" widescreen laptops!

They are very nice looking. Check it out!

And also if apple put out a 13.3" then all powerbooks are widescreens :)

And hopefully have good resolutions :)

According to the lastest TS article, the above pic might be close to what the iPod Flash may look like... 1GB for $149 sounds sweet to me. :devil:

    • MVS subscribers got the proper 26200.8655 Win11 25H2 ISO downloads as of 6/16/2026 avoiding this whole MCT fiasco by MS. I'll obtain the official 8655 MVS ISO download instead.
    • too bad the "backend" June 2026 ESD files are still at build 26200.8653 and not at the correct build 26200.8655 release. I'll avoid using the MCT for several weeks until late July 2026
    • Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices by Pradeep Viswanathan Qualcomm has been delivering dedicated SoCs for mixed reality and spatial computing devices for several years. The journey started with the Snapdragon XR1, followed by the Snapdragon XR2 in 2019, the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 in September 2023, and finally the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 in 2024. Today, Qualcomm announced a major upgrade with the new Snapdragon Reality Elite Platform, which targets premium mixed reality and spatial computing devices. OEMs can use this SoC to power both all-in-one video-see-through headsets and lightweight, tethered optical-see-through glasses. Qualcomm highlighted that the Snapdragon Reality Elite will power the next wave of Android XR devices coming later this year. These wearables will offer better visuals, improved power efficiency, and deeper on-device AI integration compared to the previous generation. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can deliver up to 48 TOPS of AI performance, allowing large language models and large vision models to run directly on the device for the first time. In addition to enabling new spatial AI experiences, these new AI capabilities will improve head and hand tracking, as well as see-through features. On the performance side, the Snapdragon Reality Elite offers up to 60% higher GPU performance, up to 30% higher CPU performance, and up to 160% higher NPU performance compared to the previous generation. The platform supports visuals of up to 4.4K per eye at 90 frames per second for sharper images and smoother motion. Qualcomm is also claiming significant efficiency improvements. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can offer up to 20% longer battery life under the same workload. More importantly, the chipset can run up to 12 degrees Celsius cooler under load, making headsets more comfortable for users to wear for longer periods. The platform also includes improvements to video see-through, featuring lower latency and better image quality. Qualcomm states that its EVA hardware block helps accelerate demanding computer vision workloads, improving how digital content blends with the real world.
    • Umm... GitHub continues to use AWS. That's the story, that's the headline. There's no "new" news here. GitHub continues to require additional capacity beyond the originally-planned Azure allocations. There's nothing special about this; nothing noteworthy. They're still using AWS' infra until the cutover is complete.
