As Apple transitions more towards actual desktop processors in the iMac line, heat is going to be an issue. The next logical step would be to add water cooling. But such setups take up pretty generous amounts of room -- something the iMac doesn't really have much of. But when there's a will, there's a way. A patent filed way back in '06 showed Apple to be working on a type of iMac water cooled dock. While a dock and an actual iMac implementation are two completely different things, as proce...

When I first spied upon with my very own eyes, the visual beauty that is the new 27" iMac's, I was pretty bummed I wouldn't be clicking "order" anytime soon. It appears however my inability to actually afford the whole grail of all-in-one's isn't without it's benefits -- namely not paying upwards of two grand and countless returns/refurbs getting a bumb model.
The ever persistent yellow display problem is still running strong. Tech support at Apple is clueless, Steve Jobs is clueless, and G...

Are you an Apple junkie? Hell, are you a Windows fan and still simply finding yourself awestruck over the new 27" iMac and it's large flat glassy areas, beckoning your name and asking your to stare until the sun goes down? For the majority of people who buy computers, they buy them because of the specs. I would say a pretty favorable portion of their user base buy their computers not necessarily because they are almost always near the top of the line, but also because they look good.

Increasing reports of broken, defective, and all out f'd up 27" iMac display problems aside, sometimes we just want to use that 2560 x 1440 of super hi-def goodness for things other than your typical computing needs. For starters, Blu-ray on such a screen would be a great start. Don't have a hi-def TV or are tired of looking at two different screens -- one for TV one for computing? Thankfully Apogee will soon be debuting their own HDMI to mDP adapter that will allow you oh so lucky 27" iMac u...
Core i7 equipped iMacs seeing shipping woes?

Posted November 24th, 2009 at 5:33 am
Broken glass and black displays -- not exactly the thing you want to see on a $2,000+ computer you just sold an organ for and waited what seems like eons. Reports from around the web are slowly trickling out this morning as more and more Core i7 Mac users start receiving their units. While not extremely high, the number of reported problems with either cracked glass or a unit simply refusing to turn on is above normal. Apple is supposedly replacing the units quickly and without much question ...

Results above are in 64-bit modeWhen the new iMac's were announced a couple months back, I like many of you were awestruck. The form was somehow even more delicious than previous generations with upgraded hardware that left me wanting two. Unfortunately for those who were ready to throw down cash on the spot for a new Core i7 beast, a November shipping date put a temporary block on the speed party. Well, it's November and said units are now shipping with benchmarks starting to trickle in. Wh...
Apple iMac, Macbook, and Magic Mouse updates!

Where to start. I guess we'll lead of with the smallest and work our way up.
Magic Mouse
First on the line, the new Magic Mouse brings multi-touch/gesture to the mouse world. Operation is as one would expect, 2 finger swipes and pinches do all sorts of panning, zooming, and moving actions on your screen. The Mighty Mouse isn't so mighty anymore (was it ever?)
Macbook
The bargain basement Macbook, once $999, is still....$999. What happened to "newer" and "cheaper" products? To be fai...
New cost of *public* entry to the “Apple Logo” club…$899?

Posted March 21st, 2009 at 11:03 am
Apple has long been criticized for having products with too high of a price tag and peformance that could be had elsewhere for much cheaper. Apple has stated before that they don't know how to build cheap products that they could be happy with...*pertaining to netbooks in particular*. However, the entrance into the "Apple Logo Club" as Microsoft's incredibly retarded CEO claims has now become a tad lower thanks to what appears to be a leak of an upcomming announcemnt of a 17" iMac for th...

Chalk this up there as a big 'ol rumor. This evening a flurry of activity is making its way around the digital world concerning Apple's pretty much known refreshes for their iMacs, Mac Pros, and Mac Minis. The date that's has been rumored so far is March 24th. However someone let slip tomorrow as the day of reckoning and now Mac fanboys everywhere are pouncing. While I would greatly appreciate tomorrow as a nice surprise, I don't think tomorrow is a very plausible date. For one, ...

March 24th is the date for Apple junkies to mark on their calendars. Supposedly that's when Apple will hold their next event and showcase their newest iMacs, Mac Pro's and Mac Mini's to the world. All I can say is I hope so! The iMac's are rumored to be getting updated Nvidia graphics like the Macbooks as well as possibly a quad-core option. The Mac Pro's are said to be receiving updated Xeon processors. And the Mini? More power? More storage? Start the guessing folks! Appl...
New iMacs coming soon?

There has been a boat load of rumors flying around the web the last week or two telling of new iMac's. Apple has remained mum on the whole issue but within the last week, retailers have been told to expect reduced shipments of current iMacs. Usually that means one thing...a new line is coming out soon. Of course, it could also mean that some critical part in the iMac manufacturing process is in short supply. Ill take the former excuse as it is about time the iMac's got some update lo...

One of the biggest upgrades that has been rumored for Apple's iMac lineup is the move to quad-core processors. The jump will bring pretty big performance increases in programs designed for multiple cores such as graphics software among others. However, new information is starting to show that iMacs may stay dual-core. Why you ask? (more...)...
