Will A Single-Core Power PC 970 Be The PowerBook G5 Chip?
Wednesday, January 26 2005 @ 8:37 AM ET | Article Link
by Charles W. Moore
At the end of Macworld week, a news story can the Taiwanese English language IT trade publication Digitimes announced in passing that not only G5 PowerBooks, but also G5 iBooks would be shipping from Apple's Taiwanese subcontractors in Q2, 2005. The authors noted that Asustek will start shipping iBook G5 notebooks to Apple in the second quarter of this year, and that Quanta Computer will ship PowerBook G5s at a rate of 30k-50k per month in Q2 2005. If this report is accurate, it represents a major development in the Apple portable world -- essentially the next revolution in PowerBook and iBook technology - - every bit as significant as the introduction of the first 68040 PowerBooks in 1994, the first Power PC 'Books in 1995, the original G3 PowerBook in 1997, and the G4 Titanium in 2001. To add G5 iBooks as well would make it doubly-revolutionary.
Now, some caution is in order. Read More...
MacMice GarageKey USB Keyboard
Wednesday, January 26 2005 @ 8:35 AM ET | Article Link
by Noah Kravitz
For as much fun as some of us have using GarageBand solely to create music by stringing together its built-in loops and samples, there's more to Apple's trademark music app than that. GarageBand is MIDI-compatible, which means that you can play its wide range of built-in software instruments through any standard MIDI controller (keyboard, drum pads, even guitars and flutes). GarageBand 2, now shipping as part of iLife '05, ups the ante with real-time MIDI notation so you can see what you've been playing written out as musical notes on a real stave. The new breed of computer-specific MIDI keyboard controllers bypass the standard MIDI cable interface in favor of a USB connection, which means you can plug them directly into your Mac to turn it into anything from a handy practice tool to a full-on music production studio.

MWSF '05 Report - Part 2: Tiger, Spotlight, and Apple's New iApps
Thursday, January 20 2005 @ 2:28 PM ET | Article Link
by Noah Kravitz
With all of the attention on Apple's new pint-sized offerings -- the Mac mini and iPod shuffle -- it's all too easy right now to bemoan a perceived shift in focus out of Cupertino from computers to consumer electronics. Make no mistake, Apple is a technology company right now and not "only" a computer maker -- they're riding the epic wave of the iPod and doing what they can to lead the masses into the brave new future of digital entertainment, starting with downloadable music. As an iBook/PowerBook user, especially, it's forgivable to feel a bit slighted by the overall feeling of iPodWorld 2005, I mean, MacWorld San Francisco. As excited as I was to see the Mac mini unveiled (a fully capable Mac for 500 bucks does more for me than a $100 screenless mp3 player, I must say), the real news out of San Francisco for longtime Apple users had less to do with what new boxes OS X will run on than what new applications OS X will run.

Is It Sensible To Upgrade Your Older PowerBook?
Wednesday, January 19 2005 @ 9:10 AM ET | Article Link
by Charles W. Moore
A question I get asked very frequently is whether it is sensible to upgrade and older PowerBook, as opposed to applying the money that would have gone for upgrade components toward the purchase of a new ‘Book. As always, the answer is: “it depends.” It’s also a moving target. My current provisional cutoff for sensible upgrade candidates is the Lombard (PowerBook G3 Series Bronze), and then only if it’s a machine in better than average condition. The earlier WallStreet G3 Series is one of the all-time great PowerBooks, and I’m still getting superb service out of my 1998 233 MHz unit, but I would not spend any serious money on it. There is a law of diminishing returns that applies. The newest WallStreets are just shy of six years old; they are not officially supported by OS X 10.3 and later (although Ryan Rempel’s XPostFacto pack can install Panther on a WallStreet), and they don’t support USB or FireWire natively. I have both USB and FireWire PC card adapters for mine, but it’s not quite the same thing. And the WallStreet only supports 512 megabytes of RAM, which I consider marginal for decent OS X support.
