The Next Mac

Hello everyone. Today I decided to talk about what I think is going to be stuffed in the next Mac that comes out.

Disclaimer: Apple attack lawyer's, read this: I am in no way trying to expose company secrets. I have only done my research and made educated guesses. Please don't sue me!

First of all Steve Jobs' Keynote is coming up in August where he is going to talk about the latest goings on in the dark and secretive company called Apple Computer. He's already told the world he's going to demo their new OS OSX 10.5 Leopard. But back to what I was writing about.

I'm thinking that he is going to unveil it running on Apple's new Prosumer Mac. For all purposes I think it is going to be called the MacPro (going with the whole new theme they have, MacBook, MacBook Pro). It is going to replace Apple's current Prosumer Mac called Power Mac. Their current version still has the old IBM G5 PowerPC chip. Now, I want ot see the kind of speed boost Apple is claiming that the Core Duo has given all the other Mac's.

What's going to be in these new Mac's you ask? I'm thinking that it is going to be Intel's new Core2Duo. It is supposed to bring a gigantic power boost to the current Core Duo processors. I haven't noticed any speed boost from the old G5 Mac's to the new Core Duo Mac's.

I don't own a Mac, but I do drop into my local Apple store and do basic stuff on it. If the MacPro floats your boat, then more power to ya'. But I say "Finally!" it's about time Apple get's its computers off of the old G5 processor.

Something you should know about me

Alright, I have to say this before it bursts out of me like an alien. I am a Trekkie. Down to the core. I will make several reference to Star Trek throughout my blogging time. So deal with it. Oh, and if you call me a Trekker I will have to hunt you down. Only idiots call themselves Trekkers. Gene Roddenberry (The guy that made Star Trek) was at the first Star Trek Convention, and he said something to the effect of: "It's good to be here with all you Trekkie's". And someone shouted, "Don't you mean Trekkers?". To which Gene retorted: "No, it's Trekkies. I should know I made the whole thing." So Trekkers is completely incorrect and I will have my legion of attack monkey's come after you for calling me a Trekker.

Finally a Blog

Ahhh. After campaigning and thinking it over, I finally have come to the conclusion that: the world needs to know my opinion on technology. There I said it.

First a little about me:
Hmmm, without compromising National Security (or something very close to that):

My name: Ty (no given last name)
What I like: Technology, except Dell's of any kind. I have had bad experiences with them and I won't ever buy one.
My computer:
CPU: AMD (Yea!) 3800+ Dual-Core 64-bit (all kinds of goodness)
Motherboard: MSI nVidia nForce4 Ultra
Ram: 1 GB
Video: nVidia 6600 LE (yes I am angry about the LE part)
OS's: XP Pro on my main drive, Vista Beta 2, OpenSuSE 10.1 w/XGL/Compiz (the best 3D thing I've been able to use!)

Pretty much that's it. Tune in tomorrow for a look at, well, some piece of technology that I can find!
