Part of a good design is that it is priced right to make a profit and sells. I think the Cube is what happened when Apple tried to make a small, quiet computer that had everything…

Ive spent the last couple of days fixing up my Cube for my daughter. I still love that thing. It's a breeze to work on. Easier to swap hard drives than a G4 tower if you ask me, th…

This would be so cool. Having a partition so I could take my home folder & settings from one mac to another, say a laptop to a desktop or a friends mac etc. I'm not lucky eno…

No need for a partition. You can do this already with the hard-drive based iPods though I never heard of a flash being bootable. Trouble is it's good for an emergency boot but for …

I forgot the picture in my original post. I too have a backup system on my 20gig iPod but even though it's a basic system, it's still a whole system. How do you just take the ho…

Macs that have AGP graphics can boot from Mass Storage compliant USB devices, and from FireWire devices. Mac OS is bootable from USB and FireWire. Whether any of the Linux bootlo…

Well I don't know about usb booting Linux on Apple hardware but on a PC I find it interesting that you can boot a whole operating system, with web browser, ftp client, emial client…

Aside from the fact that the 1Gig version provides excellent bang-per-buck purely as a flash drive, it will probably become an excellent marketing/merchandising tool. Finally Appl…

My wife's cousin needed to get a flash drive for school. I told her that Apple just came out with a 512 MB or 1 GB iPod that CAN BE USED AS A FLASH DRIVE for $99 and $149, respect…

Your words say no, but your eyes say yes! Give it up Think and move to the darkside!

Not only is this a marketing gem for Apple but for other companies as well. Say if you want to give one to a good customer or as a promotion or other such things. They are inexpe…

I wonder how many people will be going in looking to purchase a $99 iPod shuffle and walking out with a iPod mini or a full blown iPod?

Yes, I'm going to buy two! A 1GB plus a Photo iPod, 'cause I need that Playboy mag subscription! ;^) But if I break down and get a Mini instead, would it do the same type of synch…

Wow, I was right (for once)! Apple are already giving them away free. Check this out: http://www.appleinsider.com/article.php?id=847

I have a TiBook 667 DVI and am thinking about getting an iPod shuffle. I'm also thinking about picking up a PCMCIA (cardbus) USB2 adapter for about $25. If possible, could some…

Does anyone know if there are USB 2.0 hubs that connect to your computer via Firewire. I have USB 1.1 as well and I've just ordered a 1gig shuffle. I'm thinking it's gonna take for…
