Ut oh speculation like this is supposed to come after the analysts' meeting Can you imagine, CBS Market speculating on AAPL's eCommerce sucess ? ----------- " Imagine the power of these types of features if and when pay-per-view Web multimedia catches on. Customized television on demand, displayed on Apple QuickTime Player, paid in micropayments and billed automatically to personal user accounts could turn out to be Apple Computer's convergent Holy Grail. Of course, for that to happen, a few other small things would have to take place. Microsoft (MSFT: news, msgs), for instance, would have to fail at the same quest. And QuickTime would have to steal the 85 percent lead currently enjoyed by Web streaming software provider RealNetworks (RNWK: news, msgs). Moreover, the Apple Sherlock search engine would have to become more popular than Yahoo. And, finally, Apple would have to keep selling more machines. " ------ cbs.marketwatch.com Then read this closely about a low cost PowerPC in search of web smarts and speculate some more: news.com

G4 speed When they say that the G4 will run Photoshop 1.5 times faster than the G3, I assume they are comparing the two at the same clock speed. So, a 600mhz G4 would run Photoshop 225% faster than a 400mhz G3. Of course, the processor isn't the only bottleneck; there is also the memory subsystem. I'm sure they are quoting an average performance (i.e. sometimes the g4 is 3x faster and sometimes it has no advantage over the G3--partially due to memory bottlenecks).
