Maybe Apple should buy AMD. Apple's been rumored to be going the custom-chip (presumably ARM-based) for years now. This would give them foundries, design expertise, x86 compatibility for as long as they want it, ATI graphics tech and, of course, patents in all sorts of things.

Not really very likely, given AMD vs. Intel performance in x86 and Apple's rumored future ARM direction. It would probably be cheaper to buy talent piecemeal.]]> John Willoughby Spork Central Tue, 13 Nov 2012 16:13:22 -0500 http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,744,39255#msg-39255 Re: That's right, Mr. Meader- don't look here for thoze rum0rz... http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,744,39255#msg-39255 John Willoughby Spork Central Fri, 14 Sep 2012 12:39:04 -0400 http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,744,39248#msg-39248 Re: That's right, Mr. Meader- don't look here for thoze rum0rz... http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,744,39248#msg-39248 Cloudscout Spork Central Thu, 13 Sep 2012 22:32:28 -0400 http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,744,39242#msg-39242 Re: That's right, Mr. Meader- don't look here for thoze rum0rz... http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,744,39242#msg-39242 John Willoughby Spork Central Thu, 13 Sep 2012 19:34:04 -0400 http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,744,39240#msg-39240 Re: That's right, Mr. Meader- don't look here for thoze rum0rz... http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,744,39240#msg-39240

I'd certainly go for better features & battery life than a couple of millimetres extra thinness.

A$1000 for the top-end model. Yay Aussie pricing.

I did come across a few interesting things. One of those things is the fact that Amazon tried to keep the new Kindle Fire secret by submitting their FCC filings through a shell company with an address in St. Paul, Minnesota.

The other interesting thing is that, according to Apple's FCC filings, the iPhone 5 has support for LTE Band 4 which is what T-Mobile will be using for the new LTE network they're launching next year.]]> Cloudscout Spork Central Wed, 12 Sep 2012 22:04:27 -0400 http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,744,39215#msg-39215 Re: That's right, Mr. Meader- don't look here for thoze rum0rz... http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,744,39215#msg-39215

They should totally upgrade it to SSD.

Agreed, but I think they'd worry about making the pricing of the 64GB iPod Touch ($399) look bad.

Apple's pricing of flash storage is increasingly out of kilter with the broader market. Helps keep those profit margins up, though.]]> Jeff Cooper Spork Central Wed, 12 Sep 2012 15:11:14 -0400 http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,744,39203#msg-39203 Re: That's right, Mr. Meader- don't look here for thoze rum0rz... http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,744,39203#msg-39203 johnny k Spork Central Wed, 12 Sep 2012 15:02:51 -0400 http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,744,39202#msg-39202 Re: That's right, Mr. Meader- don't look here for thoze rum0rz... http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,744,39202#msg-39202 Jeff Cooper Spork Central Wed, 12 Sep 2012 14:58:15 -0400 http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,744,39201#msg-39201 Re: That's right, Mr. Meader- don't look here for thoze rum0rz... http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,744,39201#msg-39201 John Willoughby Spork Central Wed, 12 Sep 2012 14:41:56 -0400 http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,744,39200#msg-39200 Re: That's right, Mr. Meader- don't look here for thoze rum0rz... http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,744,39200#msg-39200 Jeff Cooper Spork Central Wed, 12 Sep 2012 14:39:41 -0400
