在 xlr8yourmac 上看到的 Notes on Intel CPU Macs Firewire Target Disk Mode, Display Spanning, etc.

所以得到四點證實:
1.Boot from external firewire device
2.Boot into Target Mode
3.Use the Startup Manager ("opt" startup)
4.Support full desktop on dual monitors (the new iMacs now support full desktop without a hack).

在 AppleInsider 中有篇文章: Apple applies for "Mobile Me" trademark
Apple 去註冊了 Mobile Me 的商標
看來，Apple 推出手機的日子不遠了

推出很多新的軟體及硬體，看來，一堆小朋友又要出走了

Apple Announces the iPod Radio Remote
The iPod Radio Remote combines the convenience of a wired remote control with new FM radio capabilities for the iPod nano and fifth generation iPod. Skip tracks and adjust the volume of an iPod even when it’s in a pocket or backpack. Listen to FM radio stations while displaying station and song information on the iPod screen. [Jan 10, 2006]
遠端遙控跟聽 FM 的配件，不過，個人沒什麼興趣，因為用不到

Apple Announces iWork ’06
A new version of Apple’s suite of productivity software, iWork ’06 makes it easy for users to create even more compelling documents and presentations with Pages 2 and Keynote 3. [Jan 10, 2006]
只有 Pages 2 跟 Keynote 3，還是沒有傳說中對應試算表的軟體

Apple Announces iLife ’06
An upgrade to Apple’s award-winning suite of digital lifestyle applications, iLife ’06 features iPhoto 6 with Photocasting for sharing photos over the Internet, iMovie HD 6 with new motion themes, iDVD 6 for authoring custom DVDs for today’s widescreen TVs and GarageBand 3 for creating professional-quality Podcasts. iLife ’06 also introduces iWeb, a new iLife application making it super-easy to create amazing websites and publish them on the Internet with just a single click. [Jan 10, 2006]
果真是有多了一個新成員: iWeb

硬體方面，則是推出:
Apple Introduces MacBook Pro
Introducing the new MacBook Pro notebook computer featuring an Intel Core Duo processor which delivers up to four times the performance of the PowerBook G4. Just one inch thin and weighing only 5.6 pounds, the MacBook Pro also includes a built-in iSight video camera, an Apple Remote and Front Row software. [Jan 10, 2006]

Apple Unveils New iMac with Intel Core Duo Processor
Running Mac OS X on the new Intel Core Duo processor, the new iMac delivers performance that is up to twice that of its predecessor. The widely praised iMac design now features dual-core processors, a built-in iSight camera for video conferencing and the breakthrough Front Row media experience with the Apple Remote. [Jan 10, 2006]

反正這些 intel based 的硬體台灣也不可能太早有貨可以買
且第一批通常問題都不少，所以，還是先觀察看看吧

在 CES Sony 展出了一個能夠打如 Skype 等網路電話功能的滑鼠
的確一鼠在手，樂趣無窮
不過，要是能做成 "無線" 的話，那就更有賣相了...:)

在 Apple 官網裡也推出了 Mac mini. Big Ideas.

看看用 Mac mini 到底能玩出什麼把戲呢？
Auto Entertainment
The Self-Driving Car
Cool Case Mod
Powering a Wall-Size Digital Canvas
Building a Mini Robot
Colocation Services

在 the Inquirer 上有篇 Seagate to buy Maxtor for $2 billion

最大的硬碟廠 Seagate 花大錢併購了 Maxtor

在 OIKOS 福利社訂的 TwinHan Aplha Mac DTV 終於拿到手了
不過，軟體安裝好後，再接上硬體
在公司，怎麼試就是抓不到訊號
不知道是地點的問題，抓不到訊號
還是硬體有問題？
晚上回家時再試試看

在 IPEVO 的 下載頁面 看到了 Free-1 多了一項 Driver(Mac-beta)
這表示有可以在 Mac 下使用的 USB Phone 了
之前試過幾款 USB Phone，不過，在 Mac OS X 底下，都抓不到 USB 裝置，按鍵不能用就算了，連音效裝置也都是無法使用的

iPod mini 8G Upgrade
透過買 Seagate 的 8GB CompactFlash Photo Hard Drive 即可達成
手邊有 iPod mini 想要升級的人可以試試看囉 :-)

從 Think Secret 的 rumor 顯示 Briefly: 13.3-inch iBook, Mac OS X 10.4.4, Plaxo for Mac

或許明年初就會有寬螢幕的 13.3" iBook

我想要有寬螢幕的 iBook，另一個重點，就是重量越輕越好，一台 2KG 的重量實在是有點說不過去了
現在的 Notebook 重量都壓在 1.5KG 以下了
