I looked into it. Its probably above me. I know a little objective C but not enough to do this. I think I would also need some openGL, which I have never used.

I really hope the low-end model gets a DVD or CD-RW. It seems like it should get a DVD, CD-ROMs should be abandoned by Apple and a DVD would be better suited to a laptop then a CD-RW.
edit- Here's what MOSR has to say:
The iBook is looking to see G3 processors at up to 933MHz, 133MHz memory, and new displays - a 13-inch standard flat panel, and a 14-inch widescreen. The timing looks to be between January and March of next year, but is very much subject to change depending on the economic climate that takes shape between now and then.

I would love to help at more but my only computer is my iBook. Its getting some points though. The team has done well to increase points and our last 24 hour points were 56,736 :eek: I have noticed we have had some new members join (thank-you for joining).

But then again... what if some car company designed a blue oval with white curly letters in it spelling their brand's name ("Vroom" for example). Would that just be a blue oval? Nothing more? :rolleyes:
This design is clearly ripped off from Apple.
Are you serious? Really, you can't be this ignorant. Do you think Apple is the first and only company to ever use a blue oval as a speech thing? No. DEAR GOD NO. Apple's not the only company in the world, you know.

There really is no way you're going to get speed without noise. And I'm wondering if this current box is a bit overkill for even the current crop of processors - I'm thinking there is something bigger coming down the pipe that will really need the vacu-suck.
Personally, if the machine cranks out a little noise, I'd just put my head phones on and not worry about.

It's simple to fold on both cores... Just copy the client in to two seperate directories and launch them each individually. Voila! 100% CPU usage. Unfortunately folding on an Intel Mac completely sucks until the release of a new client that will be Intel friendly.

what are some of the requirements, i was told by someone that works there that it is not realy age it is more along expeirence, does anyone work for one and can tell me what i can do. im only 15 and tunring 16 in about 2 months
I was 16 and applied at an Apple Store here in MI and received a phone call asking me to come in for an interview. I only applied for the heck of it, I lived 45 minutes away, so it wouldn't be economically feasible. It's rare that anyone under 18 works there, but it IS possible. Give it your best shot. :)

I use Adium...
but do have a couple of issues with it.
I like to display my contacts in order of status - but it doesn't seem to refresh... so I have do do that manually via View - Sort Contacts - by Status - evven though it is already ticked?!!!
And when i'm having three way chats with people - my comments appear twice in the main window... makes it all a bit annoying.
oh yeah and I found a bug in the emoticons - which I reported....
the blush keystrokes are the same as for vampire bat.
I didnt realise it till a femaled friend told me to stop using it!
I use Adium X 0.63.
Fire's support for group chats is good (For AIM, MSN and Yahoo) and Fire's emoticon support is better since it uses the appropriate emoticons for each service.

The youtube video is IN THIS THREAD, there is exactly what you are looking for in that google link that i provided, need someone to come to your house and input it for you?
Sounds like you have a laziness issue.

Sorry, didn't see that YouTube link.:o Also didn't get to post my preemptive edit - up now - saying that, yes, I did go to that Google link (even though you should be linking to specific posts), and no, there's nothing at all conclusive there - far from it.
Given your history of making unsubstantiated claims with no proof (Nintendo and the UN are conspiring to make artificial Wii shortages!!), it's perfectly reasonable to ask that you pick out some reputable articles & link to them - not send a Google link and expect us to read whatever crap it dredges up. If I was going to descend to a personal level, I'd say you're the one with the laziness issue - but I'm not, so I won't. :)

While I have no idea, i don't think I like the idea of splitting the computers by making some have certain companie's chips and some have others. it seems to me that companies make their chips differently, so they should respond differently to the OS and the apps.
Is this true, or am I just saying stuff to raise my post count? :eek:

No one really knows for sure, but the timeframe for an update is relatively narrow. If you go by the 6-month update rule, the iBook would get its update in November.
The latest we're likely to see an update (and rumours have suggested it to be more likely) is at MacWorld San Francisco, in early January. If this is what happens, it's very likely that the next iBook model will be a substantial redesign, and not just a speed-bump. Among some of the more interesting rumours have been that there would be a 13" screen in the current 12" case size, that the lineup will move to G4s like the iMac did, and (the most fanciful of them all) we'll see the current 14" iBook replaced with a 14" widescreen model.
No matter what happens, hold on to your money if you want to get the most out of a new iBook; the iBook 700 we have now is great, but it could be the end of its generation.

You know what I think would be good for Apple? I'd like see them completely skip over using G4 chips in the iBook and go straight to using G5 chips from Motorola in the iBook. This would likely sell more iBooks which would benefit Apple and consumers (considering that the iBooks are already way behind in technology).
That's my $0.02 ;)

I must admit that it's a good photoshoping Glowurm. There's no bitterness here, but this whole thread has stumbled upon something that I think Apple should persue. I would love to have a subnotebook that small and it just goes to show how constrained and outdated the Apple lineup is now. Where's this digital hub that Job's was talking about? So far it's been all software (sans the best MP3 player, iPod). I want to see iPhones and iDigicameras and iWalks or iDuo-notebooks. Apple has always created both hardware and software for their computers which is the reason why the OS runs so smoothly. Why not expand?
I always get too excited about these rumors because most of them are really great ideas. I want a true digital lifestyle that is centered around my Mac. If Apple starts making even half of these faked products, they would have my money for many years to come.

Having said that, I have to say that this has been a fun discussion to watch. I want to put the memory concerns of this new processor to rest by simply saying that I would be shocked if Apple didn't user DDR 2 ( see http://www.commsdesign.com/design_c...EG20021016S0038 ). This would satisfy the memory bandwidth needs of this new chip.
Second, as for the no performance gain, coupled with the faster P4 mantra, I have to say that there are some mis-informed people here. I suggest that we start a new thread and have everyone list the top 5 apps they use on the mac. This is what would clearly define any performance gain a user would or wouldn't see.
The reason I suggest this is that many high performance app developers on the window side ( and I am sure Mac too ) have been working with 64 bits for a while in their 32-bit applications. Even MS in several of their APIs will divide their values returned from objects in two 32bit chunks that must be reassembled into the original 64 bit values. I myself have seen this in file system operations in the Win32 writing I have done.
Since such operations described above require two ticks of the proc to process, I would take a slower 64 bit AMD or PPC processor in a heart beat over a much faster p4 for hard core applications. So a 5 GHz p4 at best on these types of apps still only keeps up with a 64 bit at half it's speed. An OS optimised for 64-bits make this more so.
Now, will every app see a difference? No.
If my average apps I use often are only Quicken, Mail, IExplorer, iChat, Word, etc. then a 2.4 GHz P4 will be snappier than a 1.8 PPC or AMD. If your average apps are DVD Studio, Final Cut Pro, Maya, Cinema4D, etc. then a 64 system will be an improvement. I won't even go into databases, except to say that in the future, more and more apps will start using them. Need proof ? iPhoto and iTunes both are primitive apps that use a crude database to track your data. Overtime, more and more apps with get more advanced in this idea, and you may see OSs come out with master Databases built into them that iApps, as well as other apps can use natively.
So, with all of this said, What are the apps you use on a daily basis?
Let the flames begin,
Max.
right, but as we all know, people are using more and more their computer to digital media (MP3, Video editing...). So I think it will be great to jump to 64 bit cpu. Anyway mail, web browser, text editor... are already fast enough even on a P3! People should check the need they have before claiming for speed like you say.
One domain that will be really enchanced I believe it's game. They use a lot of CPU and GPU.
I use video editing on a dual 450 and it work great for my need, but to play recent game it's a different storie with a GForce 2MX! I would appreciate to see 64 bit copmuter but it will be long before programmer opimize their appz, even the OS. Just like ALTI-VEC, but if PC move to 64 bit too, it can accelerate the move.
