Maybe you should rename this section: Speculations are conclusions, opinions, or theories reached by conjecture. Yes, Personal Insight and OPINIONS--placed before factual knowledge.
IF your own moderator rules applied you would lock and delete the "mock-up section" -- that by itself is classified as completely personal "what ifs" ramble. If we only discussed the products that are real, then it wouldn't be speculation...would it? SO easily you lock true speculations....Or should we be discussing if the next ipod will have a SHINY or MATTE screen? |

A.) Read the Posting Guidelines. Specifically: Quote:

canyon_Carver, you should just PM Brad directly. I understand what you're saying, but I also know, from observation and being here a long time, going about it like this isn't going to help your case much, right or wrong.
PM the admins/mods directly to air a gripe like this, or if you've got a beef with their actions. You'll be lucky not to wind up with a temporary ban... |

Even if this were a unique complaint, it wouldn't be in the right forum.

This wasn't a slam on the administrator--
I was just pointing out the definition of the word Speculation. If a problem reoccurs over and over (since Im not the first and wont be the last) maybe its design of the structure. Assessment of the circumstances are probably stating some obvious conclusions. 1. People are confused for the intention of the section based upon its name. (ergo the name change) 2. People need a sections specifically devoted to their freeform ideas. I for one fully encourage the administrators to create a section specifically devoted to R&D ideas-- Im sure someone at apple snoops these boards, since we are the devoted who shell out THOUSANDS of dollars for their products...they just might listen here and there. --Maybe if they did, AppleTV wouldn't be a flop Listen to your customers. But hey Im sure this will be locked, and my ISP will be Banned....account deleted.......so who am I to say anything, just trying to help Optimize. |

Well, maybe if you would have phrased it like:
I'm thinking by the end of 2009, Apple's 30 inch, quad-core iMac will be announced, since I think X will do this and Y will create the situation for Apple to go forward on this. Maybe then it would've been more like speculation. Because, I gotta tell you, in the post in question, there's very little (if any) speculation at all. |

Ok-- So here is my speculation. Now that they 30" Screen has broken into the affordable level sub $2K, and the Apple Development crew has already designed the 24" iMac, the next logical step would be to see the 30" iMac. I would also speculate that the 30" Imac would house an NVIDIA GeForce 7300 graphics card. Of course this ProiMAC (maybe I should trademark that name now....) should be able to expand up to minimum of 4GB of Ram.
I believe that this would provide the high performance, low footprint design that Apple has been very successful with. I would hope that this ProiMAC would retail for around $2500-$3500...Hopefully we will see this come to pass in 2008. **Ps, I love the black knight....its just a flesh wound. |

Maybe it's just me, but I didn't see anything wrong with his thread, the guy was just voicing his opinion as everyone else does - I would love a more powerful all in one and think over time Apple may just go that extra mile, we went that bit further with the 24", maybe there might be another bump up, at the end of the day, Apple themselves called the 24" a Prosumer Machine, that stepping stone... as technology improves, I think we may see what he suggests..
I cannot afford a Mac Pro AND then afford to buy a large screen... especially a machine made by Apple, a PC, yeah I could, but I don't want that... it feels that I am being constrained to the iMac range due to costings... You guys are so keen to whip people it's unbelievable... Some of the crap some of the above has come out with in the past that has gone unnoticed, we all have our moments... Yes, I have read the posting guidelines and have re read them to the ones that live and breathe (and keen to quote every 5 minutes (and those themselves who slip up)) but chill out and take a banana for heavens sake! |
