"It's perfectly technically feasible to port Panther to any processor," said Jobs, "We have all the options in the world, but the PowerPC road map looks very strong." ZDNet reports that Jobs also stated that Apple feels that IBM's line of PowerPC processors are "quite competitive" with other...“http://www.stargeek.com/item/21523.html - Cached

„Over the course of the week, Apple released several software updates: Safari 1.2, which adds some speed and some advanced navigation features, Java 1.4.2, the aforementioned iChat beta, and a BlueTooth software update. Interestingly, you can use a BlueTooth wireless headset with iChat now, so you can basically start an audio chat and wander away as if you were on the phone - Free!“http://www.billstevenson.org/news/2004/02/ friday_mac_upda.html - Cached

„All the usual suspects, the ubergeeks who make their living spreading silly rumours about Apple , have come out with this whopper . It seems that yet again, Steve Jobs is planning to bet the whole company by introducing a bran-new computer platform with untried technology and zero software support. Like the recent report that Apple would introduce a 10-GHz G5 laptop with a terabyte of flash memory in the form factor of a Frisbee ('the computer for the rest of our dogs!'), this is obviously way out to lunch.“http://www.bondwine.com/gulag/archives/ cat_apples_and_lemons.html#000126 - Cached

„It's been a great year (arguably , the best in a long time) for the Cult of Mac , although many of us are left wiping the drool off of our chins as we realize that our wallets just aren't fat enough to pay for that trip to the Apple Store to pick up Apple's new toy. And with the Macworld Conference & Expo coming up in early January, there's a strong chance that the bang that 2003 left behind will echo into 2004. Just think of Steve Jobs' keynote speech as a second Christmas; instead of Santa leaving presents underneath the tree, Steve will be unveiling them during the speech.“ posted on 2004/07/27http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2003/12/30/ wish_list.html - Cached

„It seems that amidst the glee and anticipation of next week’s Macworld Conference will be a horde of angry Mac users, hell-bent on exposing the display problems and logic board failures that have plagued the final revision of Apple’s G3 iBook line. While Apple has stuck to its no-harm, no-foul mentality, hundreds of iBook owners have been voicing their concerns for months, some even resorting to class-action lawsuits.“http://www.stargeek.com/item/73339.html - Cached
„Maybe someone should explain to this company what a virus actually is since this "Trojan Horse" is nothing more than an Applescript applet named Microsoft Word 2004 Demo that has been propogated via peer to peer file sharing.

„Apple has built an interesting product line, where you can (or have to) choose between the consumer models -- the iMacs and iBooks -- and the pro lines -- PowerMacs and PowerBooks. Why not extend that model to the Xserve, introducing a consumer-oriented iServe?“http://notd.blogs.com/notd/2002/11/ xserve_minus_is.html - Cached
