Mac is t3h mini.

by Rob Friesel

As promised, we’re back to follow up on my headless speculation (and my debunkery…) and put a few items out about the Mac mini right off the bat. Like some people, I think that there’s a lot to like in this little package. And I go back and forth on whether/not I think it will […]

Follow Up and Fall Out.

by Rob Friesel

Highlight reel! Caught the minute-to-minute updates on Engadget today. Fortunately, it interfered with my work only minimally… I was surprised in both directions by what came out of the keynote and can’t wait to watch it later on. Thinking I’ll wait until tomorrow though… So where do I lie on my predictions? “Headless” iMac: Fortunately, […]

dream(s) come true.

by Rob Friesel

So far, my headless iMac prediction appears to have been fulfilled. Apple.com/store is currently down. No big surprise there. Periodically checking the updates on Engadget but not really enough time right now to do a full entry. I’ll recap later on tonight, I suppose. But I get the feeling it’s going to be a big […]

more headless speculation.

by Rob Friesel

Seen Cringely’s article/prediction now basically blogged to death all over the damn place. To throw my own two bits in: He makes a good point in that prediction. By market share w/ an “under-priced” (read: no profit) version of the iMac. It makes a lot of sense: …where I calculate they’d be losing $100 per […]

iSpy updated.

by Rob Friesel

Not much of an update but for what it’s worth, the random iSpy generator has had a few of its naughty bits refreshed. (from the changelog): Added a couple of new descriptive terms to the system in honor of JW & RR’s Bagel Shoppe run-in with “the 21-inch waist”. Nice material, folks.

iHome…

by Rob Friesel

Update on my last post (jeez, I really should have broken that up more… — b/c as it turns out, I can’t resist participating in the iHome/headless-iMac speculation extravaganza. Once I spent a few minutes with the photos, anyway… Whether the “headless” iMac (I just can’t call it “iHome” — ugh!) itself is/not farce, the […]

MacWorld Predictions

by Rob Friesel

With pretty much the rest of the web making all sorts of preditions and proposals etc. — all just generally speculating up a-flurry with pre-MacWorld stuff, I figured I’d join in. In my own way, of course. I’d rather not spend too much time on the headless iMac or the Think Secret lawsuit or even […]

papa tomato says…

by Rob Friesel

New Years-ish fall-out… Missed the B’more folks. Missed them real bad. Had mimosas in yrsalls’ honor. /sigh Content-ish post(s) to come. But for now (since all the cool kids are doing it): Your Dominant Intelligence is Linguistic Intelligence You are excellent with words and language. You explain yourself well. An elegant speaker, you can converse […]
