Reviewers are falling over themselves singing the praise of the
Core 2 powered iMacs, not to mention the Mac Pro. It really is
faster than the original Core Duo.
Rumor has it Apple will be reintroducing a cube-shaped computer.
Time will tell....
And then there's the Microsoft programmer who left Microsoft,
bought a Mac, and blogged his story. :-)
iFixit has disassembly guides and parts for iPods, and Sonnet
has a new long-life battery for the video iPod.
PowerBook, iBook, MacBook, and other portable computing is

Core 2 Duo Really Is Faster Than Core Duo
MacUser's Derik DeLong reports:
"While Coke 2 may not be better than the original Coke, it looks
like the Core 2 Duo is better than the original. According to
Macworld's Speedmark benchmark, they're 10% faster (based upon a
score of 232 by the 2 GHz Core 2 Duo versus 210 by the 2 GHz Core
Duo). That's performance at the same clockspeed. It's great to see
that Intel really is following through with the commitment to
performance rather than clockspeed."

Test Driving the 24" iMac
Fortune Magazine's Peter Lewis looks at top-of-the-line iMacs
and Dell PCs and concludes you'll get more for your money with
Apple.
"Normally Steve Jobs concludes major Apple product introductions
with a sly, 'Oh, there's just one more thing...' It's a Pavlovian
phrase that causes the Macintosh faithful to bark and howl and
salivate, having been trained to expect something new and wonderful
and unlike anything else in the PC world....
"...Apple is making applesauce out of the old canard that Macs
are a lot more expensive than Windows computers.
"Now that Macintoshes use the same Intel processors found in
higher-end Windows machines, and can even run Windows XP and
Windows applications, the old 'you can't compare apples and
oranges' argument shrivels. In August, when it unveiled its new
Mac Pro computers, Apple boasted
that the high-end desktop machine actually cost nearly a thousand
dollars less than a comparably equipped Dell Precision
workstation....
"Sure, you can get a PC and monitor for less money, but not with
anything close to the power and multimedia features and software
and ease of use of the iMac.
"At the high end, the new Intel
Core 2 Duo 24-inch iMac introduced last week is theoretically a
consumer machine, although I suspect it will catch the attention of
many graphic designers and other digital media mavens."

Core Changes Boost iMac's Speed
Macworld's James Galbraith reports:
"When unveiling the Core 2 Duo processor in July, Intel CEO Paul
Otellini said that the next-generation Core Duo chip would deliver
a 20 percent increase in laptop performance. Apple's newly unveiled
iMacs - which use the mobile
version of the Core 2 Duo touted by Otellini - don't quite approach
that performance gain. But they do handily beat out the previous
iMac Core Duo models, posting a 10
percent improvement in Macworld Lab's Speedmark test.
"Apple updated its iMac line earlier this week, replacing the
dual-core chips with new Intel Core 2 Duo processors. Four models
now make up the iMac line: a 1.83 GHz 17-inch iMac, a second
17-inch iMac with a 2 GHz chip, a 2.16 GHz 20-inch model, and a
2.16 GHz configuration with a 24-inch screen.
"To date, Macworld has received two of these all-in-one systems:
the 17-inch 2 GHz model and the 2.16 GHz 20-inch offering. We're
expecting the new 24-inch and 1.83 GHz 17-inch models next week.
Until then, we have the test results for the two middle models,
which are impressive."

Lab: Core Changes Boost iMac's Speed
New iMacs 'Stunning'
ForbesOnTech blog says:
"I've been kind of critical of Apple in my blog over the last
year. Before Apple began shipping Intel-based iMacs and MacBook, I thought that Apple had been
consumed by iPod madness. Also, I'm not a fan of the MacBook Pro (specifically, its one of the
hottest notebooks I've ever used and I felt its WiFi implementation
wasn't at least par with the three or four other notebooks I keep
on hand as reference systems).
"Accordingly, I panned the MacBook Pro and promptly got flamed.
It's not the first time this has happened to me and for damn sure
it' s not the last.
"So here's my secret: I'm a died-in-the-wool proponent of
technology that makes computing more productive and much easier. So
you see, I want Apple to succeed. In the words of Zepplin I want
this to happen 'Way Down Inside'....
"It takes a lot to knock me off my feet, especially when if its
something that comes from Apple Computer. Truth is, they've set the
expectations bar so high that I look closely at the fine joints and
points in all their technologies.
"Guess what? Apple's new 24, 20 and 17-inch-inch Intel Core Duo2 powered iMacs are great.
And the 24-inch iMac knocks me out. It's perhaps the finest
Macintosh implementation I've ever seen...."

Mac Pro's 'Pure, Unadulterated Power'
PCMag's Joel Santo Domingo reports:
"Apple's new Mac Pro ($7,578 direct, $8,577 with a 23-inch
widescreen LCD monitor), the latest professional Macintosh desktop
to emerge from the company's Cupertino, California, stables, sure
is a workhorse. All Mac Pros are now 'quad core,' with two
dual-core Xeon processors that are capable of holding up to 16 GB
of DDR2 ECC SDRAM, and 2 terabytes of hard drive space. The Mac Pro
starts out at $2,499 for a modestly configured system, but we
thought it would be fun to run a totally tricked-out workstation -
so we tested a system that pushes the $8,000 price point. The
verdict? For the Mac professional, the extra expense is worth the
pure, unadulterated power."

Vole and has bought an Apple.
"Wright says that after nearly 15 years on Voleware, including

"As a parting shot to Microsoft, Wright says that its super

Writer Abandons Microsoft - Sees the Light and Buys a Mac
'Vista Looks Like a Pile of Crap'
On his own blog, Pete Wright explains:
"So, today I resigned my job, and completely ended my Microsoft
career. I have taken a role as Director with a company at the
leading edge of the 'Web 2.0' curve. My team and I will write Ruby
on Rails code, use Macintosh computers to do so, shun Microsoft
technology completely, go to work in shorts and sandals and blast
each other with nerf guns. My team is devoted to being the best it
can be, to learning, to improving, to pushing boundaries. And it's
not Microsoft.
"I'm writing this on my Mac using NeoOffice Writer while the PC
under my desk is, for the last time ever, removing Windows and all
the trappings that go with it to install Ubuntu Linux. My Microsoft
career is now officially over.
"Microsoft don't innovate, in my opinion. Vista looks like a
pile of crap compared to Mac OS X and Ubuntu with GLX. Their
software is buggy, overpriced, and stress inducing. Their
development tools are staid, designed and developed by committees
to solve every problem you could ever conceive of, while being
ideally suited to solving none...."

24" iMac's GPU Is Upgradeable? Not So
Fast...
Ars Technica's Jeff Smykil says:
"When the 24" iMac was
introduced the other day, our very own Kurt Hutchinson quickly made
his opinion about it known here at the Orbiting HQ. Kurt wondered
why the high-end beast's video card, an Nvidia GeForce 7300GT, was
inferior to the less expensive middle-of-the-line iMacs ATI Radeon
X1600. It is hard to tell whether Kurt's inclinations are true, as
we don't yet know the GPU or memory speeds of the iMac's X1600.
However, when we referenced TechSpot's benchmarks it seems that the
7300GT, at best, is not much of an upgrade and at worst slower then
the X1600."

Apple Cube Reborn?
unwiredview.com says:
"The famous Apple Cube Power Mac G4
computer may be reborn soon.
"When released in July 2000 Apple Cube was widely praised for
it's unique design but did not sell very well. There were a lot of
problems with it - high price, limited upgradability, cracking
cases, etc. After selling only 150 000 units Apple seemed to
abandon the idea and suspended Cube production indefinitely after
one year.
"However, interest in Power Mac G4 Cube did not die. Third party
vendors started experimenting with various upgrades and customers
were pretty happy with the results.
"And it seems that Apple too did not completely forget the Cube
idea. Recent patent filing for 'Ultra compact computer arrangement'
shows that Apple is working on another Cube computer which solves
many of the problems that plagued it's predecessor."

Cube Reborn?
The Return of Apple's Cube May Be at Hand
Ars technica's Charles Jade reports:
"While the Power Macintosh G4 Cube
was lauded by many for its compact design, unique form factor, and
silent operation, few people were willing to pay the $1800 price
for that form and function. A year after its introduction in July
of 2000, having sold fewer than 200,000 units, the Cube was quietly
discontinued, never to be seen again. Or possibly not."

Running Windows Vista on Your Intel Mac
with Parallels Desktop
TUAW's David Chartier reports:
"I managed to get Vista running on my MacBook Pro in both a copy
of Parallels
Desktop and Boot Camp, but this post is only going to
cover the Parallels side of things; my Boot Camp post is still in
the kettle.
"For the most part, I would say Vista runs in Parallels Desktop
just 'ok,' as opposed to 'really well' or 'it made an un-switcher
out of me.' Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to offer full support
for high-end graphics cards yet, so you won't get any of the fancy
3D effects or what I like to call Translucent Everything Technology
(TET) that Vista boasts.
"Read on for a walkthrough of setting up, installing and running
Microsoft Windows Vista on your Intel Mac via Parallels Desktop,
including some catches to watch out for and just how far you can
actually push this software, given Vista's still more or less
beta/RC1 status and Parallels' as-yet experimental support."

Parallels Desktop Adds Support for Mac
Pro
PR: Parallels has announced that it is making available
the Update Release Candidate (RC) for Parallels Desktop for Mac,
the first solution that enables users to run Windows and other
operating systems at the same time as OS X on any Intel-powered
Mac, without rebooting.
The update RC, which is free for all Parallels Desktop users,

outfitted with up to 3,5 GB of RAM. With the addition of support
for Mac Pro towers, Parallels Desktop for Mac is now compatible
with all Intel-powered Apple computers, which in addition to the
Mac Pro includes the MacBook, MacBook Pro, iMac, and Mac Mini.
The update RC also offers full compatibility with the developer
builds of Mac OS X 10.5, code-named "Leopard." Leopard, which was
previewed in Steve Jobs' keynote address at the 2006 Apple
Worldwide Developer Forum, is expected to be ship in Spring
2007.
"By adding support for Mac Pro towers and OS X 'Leopard', we've
shown once again that Parallels Desktop is not only a great
productivity tool for any Intel-Mac user, but also for Mac software
developers who need to work with Apple's next-generation OS." said
Benjamin Rudolph, Marketing Manager, Parallels. "Now, anyone using
a Mac Pro, Mac Mini, MacBook, MacBook Pro or iMac can run any
version of Windows alongside any Intel-compatible version of OS X,
including 10.4 'Tiger' or the upcoming 10.5 'Leopard'."
In addition, the Parallels Desktop for Mac update release
candidate includes experimental guest OS support for the beta
builds of Windows Vista, the next-generation of Microsoft's Windows
operating system. Vista is due to be generally available in
2007.
The Update RC also offers number of other important
performance-enhancing upgrades, including:
- Solaris guest OS no longer hangs after suspend/resume
- An improved Parallels Tools package
- Full support for OpenBSD 3.8 as a guest operating system
- G4U hard disk cloning tool now works in virtual machines
Users can download the update of Parallels Desktop at http://www.parallels.com/en/products/desktop/update/.
Active Parallels Desktop users should note that upgrading will not
require a reinstall of any guest operating systems or their
applications. Users should also reinstall Parallels Tools after
upgrading to the update release candidate.
The final release of the update is expected in the next few
weeks. Users who have Parallels Desktop auto-update enabled will
receive the final update automatically. Users who do not have
auto-update enabled will be able to manually download the update by
clicking "Check for Updates" in the "Help" tab of the Parallels
menu bar.
New users can download a free 15-day trial version of Parallels
Desktop at ( www.parallels.com/en/download/desktop/ ). Full
versions of the product can be purchased at (
www.parallels.com/en/buyonline ), or in any Apple Store, Staples,
Office Depot, Micro Center, Fry's Electronics, or CompUSA location.
The Suggested Retail Price (SRP) for Parallels Desktop is
$79.99.

PowerLogix CPU Director Update
Statement
PR: Status of CPU Director Support for Apple OS X
10.4.7
At this time we do not have a definite release date for the next
update of CPU Director required for 10.4.7 compatibility. Rest
assured that the next CPU Director version will be released as soon
as such a release is possible.
Please do not email asking when this release will occur and
rather please visit this site for such update as it will be posted
here first when the update is approaching release and/or is posted
for download.
PowerLogix G4 7447, 7455, and 7457 single and dual processor
upgrades do not require CPU Director for proper operation or
performance. Upgrading to 10.4.7 will not cause loss of settings or
performance, but will disable CPU Director and it's temperature
view pane as well as Dynamic Frequency Switching feature (DFS is a
7447 only option).
Owners of certain PowerLogix G3/800 MHz to G3/1.1 GHz PCI,
Pismo, and ZIF upgrades may require CPU Director at startup to
enable the higher processor speed of the PowerLogix G3 750FX or
750GX based upgrade. If your are using OS X, we highly recommend
waiting for our next release prior to installing the 10.4.7
upgrade.
Your patience and support is appreciated. Please visit this site
for updates to the CPU Director software status.

Iomega's Innovative External RAID
Storage for Mac OS X Computers
PR: Iomega Corporation has announced the new Iomega
UltraMax 640 GB* Desktop Hard Drive, providing Mac users with
secure, high-capacity storage in a rugged enclosure that
complements the Apple Mac Pro and
Power Mac series of computers. With
RAID 0 and a built-in Hi-Speed USB (USB 2.0) hub for future
expansion, Iomega's UltraMax drive helps users excel in digital
content creation, graphic design, and other disk-intensive
tasks.
"The new Iomega UltraMax Desktop Hard Drive is an amazing
external hard drive with lots of capacity, flexible volume
configurations, and useful USB 2.0 ports," said Peter Wharton, Vice
President of Marketing, Iomega Corporation. "Large file transfers
put a premium on data throughput. The UltraMax drive uses the Mac
HFS+ file system and RAID 0 for incredible power right out of the
box, striping data across two hard drives for faster performance.
The UltraMax is both functional and versatile - the kind of
advanced storage solution our customers expect from Iomega." In
addition to the default mode of RAID 0, which stripes data across
the UltraMax's two 7200-RPM SATA hard drives, other drive settings
include 'spanned' (both hard drives are treated as a single
volume), and 'simple' (each hard drive is treated as its own drive
letter).
For ease of use, the new Iomega UltraMax Desktop Hard Drive has
a manual RAID switch, allowing the user to turn off the RAID
configuration and use the drive configured as JBOD. The Iomega
UltraMax Hard Drive is preformatted with Apple's HFS+ file system
for Mac OS X users. "HFS+ makes more efficient use of large hard
drives and supports journaling under Mac OS X, which makes it
easier to recover data in case of a problem, and that makes the
UltraMax the no-compromise choice for Mac environments," Wharton
added.
PC users can reformat the Iomega UltraMax Drive to NTFS for use
with Windows, or can set up cross-platform use with an included
FAT32 format tool. The stackable UltraMax drive enclosure
complements the new Mac Pro series of Apple computers as well as
the older Power Mac series. The enclosure is metallic grey with a
mesh grill, an echo of the Mac Pro computer's industrial design.
Its three interfaces include FireWire 800, FireWire 400, and
Hi-Speed USB (USB 2.0), and it provides users with a three-port
Hi-Speed USB hub for easy expansion. Cables for FireWire 800,
FireWire 400, and USB 2.0 operation are included with the drive.
For secure storage and worry-free backup and disaster recovery,
Iomega also includes EMC Retrospect Express software with the new
UltraMax drive. Retrospect Express delivers automated, reliable,
cost-effective protection for Windows and Mac users. Its
award-winning design makes it easy to set up and manage highly
efficient backups on any PC, greatly simplifying disaster recovery.
Users can back up open files, verify backup integrity during the
backup, have scheduled backups proceed even without logging in, and
recover individual files or a complete system to any point in
time.
System requirements:
The UltraMax 640 GB Desktop Hard Drive is compatible with Mac OS
X 10.1 or above on Apple computers with an Intel processor or G3
processor or higher and a built-in USB or FireWire connection. The
UltraMax Drive can be reformatted to NTFS or FAT32 for use with a
PC (instructions included), making it compatible with Microsoft
Windows 2000, Windows XP Home and XP Professional editions. FAT32
format allows cross-platform use.
The Iomega UltraMax 640 GB Desktop Hard Drive is expected to be
available later this month for $449.95 (U.S. suggested retail).
More information about the Iomega UltraMax 640 GB Desktop Hard
Drive will be available on Monday, Sept. 11.
