Regarding navigating in the app, couldn't you just implement fps style wasd movement with mouse aim? That seems pretty intuitive to me. (I remember playing a mod of Quake 3 that en…

It'd be more humorous if the photos were real-time, and there weren't large shadows in many of the photos.

Given that this is a beta, I'd say it's impressive. I only get some slight stuttering on my dual 2.0 G5 (weak GPU, though -- 5900). Compared to the PC version, which is final, th…

Ok, very impressed for a beta I've used it for 4 days now. I've run it on a tiPB 400 and a original Cube 450. It runs in both if you shortcut the first window that appears. If it …

The power of edutainment!

Thinksecret claims that Apple is set to introduce new 13.3" Intel iBooks early next year (Jan?). These new models will replace the current 14" form factor. Apple will supposedly ke…

I'm really looking forward to this option. I've scheduled myself to pick up a new notebook soon, and a 13in widescreen Intel iBook would be exactly what I am looking for. Personal…

It says that the re-build of 10.4.4 will have more support for nvidia... that would be awesome if you were given the option between which GPU you wanted...

I don't think Apple will give a choice of GPU, but if there are Intel iBooks (I'm still skeptical enough not to assume anything), I think a 13.3" widescreen model and the discontin…

If they make a 13.3" widescreen laptop with monitor spanning and a superdrive option, I don't care what they call it, I want it. I had speculated that it might make sense to have …

iBooks are VERY favorably priced compared to similarly-equipped PC laptops. (Look for things like a real GPU with real VRAM, not just integrated video.) And of course, all iBooks …

I would bet that ThnkSecret is wrong and Apple will not continue with a 12" 4:3 iBook. Consider that the iBook will likely be totally redesigned when it goes Intel. To design a 12"…

I really really want an Intel iBook, but I guess there won't be a spanning hack anymore, since the architecture will change substantially when they go Intel. At least not for some …

I'll post pictures of it when I'm at Macworld. Stay tuned in! I'm just about ready to retire my two year old 12" PowerBook. Too bad airfare was so expensive this year, or I mig…

The "bang for the buck" factor is why we switched in the first place. My wife needed a lightweight portable for school, and looking at ALL the numbers, we found that you get the M…

Just had a thought on this; if a new iBook really does have a 13.3" wide screen display, why would it be 1280x720 rather than 1280x854? Expanding the horizontal screen space from …
