So this patent was awarded more than four years ago and yet Creative has only just thought it would be a good idea to issue a press release about it now? Does anyone else smell t…

So now Apple is getting sued by Creative Technology (see http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/01/te...y/01apple.html) for using their zen patent in the iPod navigation system. And Micro…

Apple Lossless will cut the uncompressed song roughly in half. As the name says, it's totally lossless.

problem is a lot of my songs are mp3 or aac at 320 kbps resulting in a 4 min song at 8MB a file. i'd like to drop them to about 128 when copying over the the ipod. is this at all p…

The iPod shuffle can do that automatically. Check out http://www.dougscripts.com for some AppleScripts for other iPods.

Version numbers are purely marketing anymore so I don't think OS XI will be much different from OS 10.9x When OS X first came out, I remember Apple saying they could get like 10 y…

The Macintosh name has been rebranded for at least four years. It's Mac now.

I thought I purchased a macintosh myself As for OS 11, who knows, I cannot fathom what will be in the next point upgrade never mind a whole new version. Mike

Maybe Apple could have the Spinal Tap guys do a campaign... "But this one goes to 11!"

Mac OS X will be around for at least a decade, possibly longer. And the next big change (like the one from Classic to X) will not be XI. X is a marketing ploy, not a version numb…

The only problem with the Mac OS X brand is all those knuckleheads going on about how you have to pay for "point" upgrades (i.e. 10.3-->10.4), but heck. I can live with that, an…

I agree with msuper69 that X is a marketing ploy, let's face it. 11, or even XI, does not hit you between the ideas as the combo of the letter 'x' and roman numeral 10. X implies e…

It will be snappier. And maybe they FTFF.

Mac OS X.X (10.10) should be out by hmmmm 2010ish... 2011ish.

Mac OS Y?

Why not. It's nearly Yunix anyway.

Mac OS X-Trem Ultimate Pro Edition x2 Mellenium
