| 16:11.48 | macnewbold | any rumored announcements yet? |
| 16:14.08 | wps | yup |
| 16:14.12 | wps | amazon leaked the specs |
| 16:14.45 | wps | http://mac.byu.edu/article.php?story=20050426085413815 |
| 16:15.23 | wps | not as big of an announcement as we are hoping for, although nothing official has come from Apple yet |
| 16:15.34 | wps | (rumor sites say that is will now be Wednesday) |
| 16:16.30 | wps | if the rumors are correct though, the new powermacs will now be shipping with 512 RAM standard, 250 GB HDs, 16x dual layer CD/DVD+RW |
| 16:17.20 | feutetejsd | oh man... |
| 16:18.18 | wps | nothing "solid" about the dual-core though |
| 16:18.56 | wps | I am fairly certain that we won't see those for a little longer though—perhaps the end of the summer |

| 17:06.07 | macnewbold | dual core as in dual processors? I _highly_ doubt it in a laptop |
| 17:14.36 | wps | these aren't the laptops |
| 17:14.40 | wps | the Powermac is the tower |
| 17:31.37 | macnewbold | ah, really? |
| 17:31.40 | macnewbold | like the G5? |
| 17:32.14 | macnewbold | I thought you were talking about powerbooks, for some reason. |
| 17:32.22 | macnewbold | a tower will be dual |
| 17:33.24 | wps | well, the Powermacs have already been dual processor for the past while, but we are now waiting for them to be dual-core dual processors |
| 17:33.29 | macnewbold | ah |
| 17:33.36 | macnewbold | like hyper-threading kind of? |
| 17:35.57 | wps | I am just sad that HP beat apple to the market with their dual-core machines |
| 17:36.49 | wps | oops, I mean Dell |
| 17:37.08 | macnewbold | what CPU do those dells have? |
| 17:37.24 | wps | not sure |
| 17:37.32 | wps | drewbono, you still have the link? |
| 17:37.59 | drewbono | wps: Yeah, one sec. |
| 17:38.33 | macnewbold | np |
| 17:38.38 | macnewbold | I should be working anyway :) |
| 17:39.02 | drewbono | http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&oc=DXPS5SAP&s=dhs |
| 17:42.33 | wps | so does anyone have a dual-processor system besides Apple? |
| 17:45.36 | macnewbold | you can get them... a lot of servers have them, but not too many desktops get them. it's usually not worth the extra cost |
| 17:47.29 | macnewbold | It just says Pentium® D 840 Extreme Edition Dual Core w/ HT Tech (3.20GHz, 800FSB), with a pentium 4 logo next to it |
| 17:47.48 | macnewbold | so it wasn't so much dell that beat apple, but intel |
| 17:48.26 | wps | well, that would be Intel vs. IBM then |
| 17:48.48 | wps | since neither Dell nor Apple manufacture chips |
| 17:57.26 | drewbono | Yup. |
| 17:57.37 | drewbono | I've heard AMD is coming out with their dual core processor soon too |
| 17:58.15 | drewbono | By the way, I love this article: http://www.macworld.com/2005/04/features/tipsinbox/index.php |
| 17:58.31 | drewbono | I need more people to tell me how to organize my life, cuz I stink at it (no sarcasm intended). |
| 18:11.31 | wps | drewbono: you need more fiber |
| 18:11.42 | drewbono | :-) |
| 18:11.47 | drewbono | Thanks. |
| 18:11.50 | drewbono | It's true. |
| 18:12.29 | wps | don't forget to exercise this evening, write in your journal, and you'd better start planning for mother's day |
| 18:12.40 | drewbono | FREAK! |
| 18:12.45 | drewbono | I totally forgot about that. |
| 18:12.52 | drewbono | Thanks again, wps. |
| 18:12.54 | drewbono | Whew! |
| 18:12.57 | wps | yup :) |
| 18:13.46 | drewbono | It wouldn't be so funny if it weren't so true... |
| 18:13.51 | drewbono | It's amazing I ever get anything done. |
| 18:17.12 | wps | so when does your camera arrive? |
| 18:17.45 | drewbono | Well, I was all set to order it last night... |
| 18:17.52 | drewbono | when I found the Canon Optura 60 |
| 18:18.00 | drewbono | which has similar features and price |
| 18:18.09 | drewbono | so now I'm trying to do a little more research |
| 18:18.17 | wps | ah |
| 18:18.54 | drewbono | When are you getting one? |
| 18:19.31 | wps | I'm holding out for HD |
| 18:19.38 | drewbono | Are you? |
| 18:19.46 | wps | I figure in another year/year and a half they will be down to nice, consumer prices |
| 18:19.50 | drewbono | $3500 Sony |
| 18:20.01 | wps | there are already some down under 2k |
| 18:20.07 | drewbono | What's a consumer price? |
| 18:20.12 | drewbono | (for you) |
| 18:20.13 | wps | I figure in another year and a half I can get one for $1200 |
| 18:20.28 | drewbono | Which ones are under 2k? |
| 18:21.28 | wps | here's one |
| 18:21.29 | wps | http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?A=search&ci=1&kw=JVGRHD1&shs=JVGRHD1&Q=&O= |
| 18:22.20 | drewbono | Nice. |
| 18:22.22 | wps | another: http://www.buyphotovideo.com/proddetail.php?prod=092 |
| 18:23.22 | wps | so anyway, that's the plan… hoping that they price will keep falling |
| 19:41.14 | wps | well, the pages didn't get completely yanked, but you can no longer pre-order on Amazon |

| 21:33.38 | drewbono | There's a list of some cool undocumented features about Tiger. |
| 21:36.46 | drewbono | http://media.weblogsinc.com/common/videos/engadget/TigerRSS.mov |
| 21:37.00 | drewbono | The RSS screensaver looks awesome. |
| 21:41.23 | wps | where can I see it? |
| 21:41.39 | drewbono | the above .mov link |
| 21:41.55 | wps | oh. thanks :) |
| 21:42.24 | wps | that's sweet |
| 21:42.55 | drewbono | wps: Do you have any ideas for widgets that you're going to make? |
| 21:43.27 | wps | no, not yet, must I've thought of have already been done |
| 22:00.42 | wps | that'd be cool to have a Route Y widget that will show you your class schedule |
| 22:01.01 | drewbono | That would be cool. |
| 22:01.08 | drewbono | Didn't even think about Route-Y integration. |
| 22:01.10 | drewbono | That would rule. |
| 22:02.41 | wps | a testing center line cam |
