Los Angeles Times - FORT MYERS, Fla. — As rare back-to-back tropical storms — one a hurricane, the other likely to become one — churned Wednesday toward Florida, Gov. Jeb Bush declared a statewide emergency and mobilized the National Guard. Tourists were told to evacuate the low-lying Florida Keys.

The 20" iMac doesn't look as ungainly as I would expect, but it's still surprising. Is there really a market for a slow Mac with a big screen? Apple used the introduction of the dual 1.8GHz G5 as an excuse to quietly replace its bogus SPEC benchmarks with something more realistic. (But you know someone is going to say, "Why didn't they compare against the dual 3.2GHz xw8000? It's been out for three hours!")

Giz modo had this snapshot of what is reportedly Apple's new iMac G5. It's supposed to be released next week, but somebody got a sneak peek in an elevator at Charles DeGaulle Airport. Looks to be little more than a thick flat panel monitor, with the computer's guts tucked behind the screen.

I would think that would be an easy build — just use the basic parts from a laptop unit, wrap it with a spiffy new skin, jam in a G5 processor and the proper cooling mechanisms, and there you have it.

Drool.

The Sub-$500 iMac? 12/29/2004 11:38 AM

This could be fun! Think Secret says they know what The Steve will be unveiling at the January 11 Macworld Expo: a bare bones, G4-based iMac without a display that will retail for $499.

This new product will be for a Windows user who has experienced the iPod, the ease of use of the iTunes software, and has played around with a Mac at an Apple retail store just long enough to know he'd buy one if it were a little cheaper.

Code name Q88, the machine is said to be very small and designed to either go underneath a monitor or stand upright, alongside a second computer. The guys over at MacSlash are hoping that it will also have a built-in KVM that will allow PC switchers to run the iMac side-by-side with their existing PC, using the same keyboard, mouse & monitor. That might be a little much to hope for, but if the rest is true, that might shake things up a bit, don't you think?

More iMac G5 Details

More iMac G5 Details 09/10/2004 04:53 PM

While we’re waiting for the first round of iMac G5 reviews to hit the net, MacMinute found Apple’s Developer Note on the new system. I found a few interesting tidbits amidst the technical stuff.

Available as a fully-integrated, build-to-order option, Bluetooth is an open specification that enables short-range wireless connections between desktop and laptop computers and a host of other peripheral devices.

[…]

Bluetooth is available as a build-to-order option, which is installed by Apple at the time of purchase as a fully integrated module. Accessing the Bluetooth capabilities without purchasing the integrated module will require a third-party dongle that may not support all present and future features supported by the internal module.

Translation: If you think you might want Bluetooth, and you don’t want to use a dongle, you’ll have to pony up the extra $50 up front, because you won’t be able to add it later.

Here’s a neat feature that might be common on Macs, but it was new to me:

The user has the option at boot time to put the computer into a mode of operation called Target Disk Mode (TDM).

When the iMac G5 is in Target Disk Mode and connected to another Macintosh computer by a FireWire cable, the iMac G5 operates like a FireWire mass storage device with the SBP-2 (Serial Bus Protocol) standard. Target Disk Mode has two primary uses:

• high-speed data transfer between computers
• diagnosis and repair of a corrupted internal hard drive

That’s a pretty cool idea. You could debug the HD without removing it. Of course, there have been problems in the past with OSX actually causing corruption on external FireWire drives. I guess they figure that they have that sorted out. There’s also a note on the measures taken for cooling:

The iMac G5 uses an advanced system management unit (SMU) to manage the thermal and power conditions, while keeping the acoustic noise to a minimum.

[…]

Temperature and power consumption are monitored by the operating system which communicates with the SMU, which in turn controls and monitors fan operation. If Mac OS X is not booted, thermal management must be provided by the alternate development operating system. Note: If Mac OS X is not booted and the alternate development operating system does not manage the fans, the fans go into an unmanaged state and run at full speed.

Linux kernel developers, start your emacs sessions.

Apple iMac G5

Apple iMac G5 08/31/2004 06:03 AM

And it lives! Apple has fully unveiled the new iMac G5, and it's basically a Pizza box PC that looks a lot like the new Cinema displays, except white. Available in 17- and 20-inch form, the machines will come with 1.6 and 1.8GHz G5 processors, respectively. I'll go ahead and throw up this post with pictures, then actually wake up and jump up with more details.

Read - Product Page [Apple]

Update: One sort of geeky thing that immediately is noticable is that the iMac G5 doesn't share the "50% of the processor speed" bus as the PowerMac G5s. That's going to be a real performance wrinkler (although still a welcome bump from the G4).
