P-P-P-Powerbook
P-P-P-Powerbook
05/13/2004 10:46 PM
An American Ebay seller realises a European bidder is trying to
scam him out of a Powerbook (fake escrow site, hijacked ebay account),
so he sends him something far better, a
P-P-P-Powerbook! Now, for
you non-techies here, a factory model p-p-p-powerbook weights half
what it's competitors weigh, comes with an A4 screen, the
latest in internet adventure software, zero boot time, a fullsize
keyboard (often with
Key
RedundancyTM) and a
state-of-the-art laser
bluetooth mouse. This is technology. The seller posts
to a forum and amongst the chatter people follow the package
via the
the Fedex tracking page and some even
visit the delivery address (a barbershop/internet cafe) and take
photos, video, and a seat for their hair cut. The duty tax on this
particular p-p-p-powerbook is around £350 (paid for by the
scammer) before he sees the package, and a few days later it's
released by Customs as
they watch in anticipation. A forum
member arrives at the internet cafe, takes a seat and soon the package
arrives. The scammer opens the box and there are angry raised voices
heard. The barber doesn't understand what's wrong and asks...

script by Jon Bauman posted yesterday on Rob Griffiths' excellent Mac

It's a sad fact of life that God hates Mac users. If you
needed any more proof, check out these pictures of this burnt and
charred 12-inch Powerbook, caught in an apartment fire, which despite
the damage and encrustations is reported to still work. What can we
learn from this? In a kickboxing match between Jesus and Jobs, Steve
would win. I know it's shocking, but if there's one thing I've
learned from Internet, it's that digital pictures cannot lie. They
don't even have tongues! (Thanks, Marcus!)

New Powerbook is a bit spotty
11/11/2003 01:12 AM As we mentioned last week, a sizeable number of people have been
complaining to Apple about the new 15-inch aluminum Powerbooks they've
bought, saying that mysterious white spots that won't go away have
started appearing on their screens. On the off-chcance that you were
wondering what this looked like, here's a photo of one person's
defective Powerbook....

More on 15" Powerbook screens...
11/12/2003 01:19 PMThis is probably well known by now, but according to a friend of
mine who is still trying to work out whether to get the 12" or 15" Apple Powerbook, he's been
advised by a man he talked to at a London Apple Centre that a 15"
variety will take longer to be delivered because Apple have accepted
there's a problem with the screen getting brighter spots on it.
Apparently they've definitely ceased production while they look into
it. This is probably extremely good news for those of us who have a
Powerbook with this problem, and it might explain why I have still not
received my return voucher, over a week and a half after I rang them
up. I'll be checking up on this later, but I thought I should probably
share the news. If anyone has more information on the subject, please
feel free to add links in the comments.

PowerBook G5!? Unlikely to Appear in

02/05/2005 09:07 PMCNET has posted
an article highlighting various logical reasons for
why the PowerBook G5 is still a pipe dream.
"...a G5 PowerBook would require compromises in size, weight and
other aesthetics such as noise production. Apple, and likely most of
its customers, wouldn't be willing to live with that."
Sorry guys, you'll just have to wait another year, or by an
iMac G5 and an
iLugger.

iBook vs. PowerBook
iBook vs. PowerBook
04/19/2004 10:56 AMToday Apple introduced new iBook G4 & PowerBook models. Here's my
attempt to dispell any confusion between the two lines.
I've ordered my PowerBook
I've ordered my PowerBook
12/20/2003 07:22 PMThanks to everyone who provided advice on buying a Mac - it provide
incredibly helpful in making my selection. I placed my order this
afternoon for a 15" 1 GHz PowerBook with a SuperDrive, backlit
keyboard and 60 GB of Hard Disk space. I went with the minimum
possible memory (256 MB) and plan to buy an extra 512 MB from Crucial (for less than half the
price Apple charge) in a few weeks time.
I saved a serious chunk of money thanks to the Student Developer
program (tip off from Leonard Lin), which for a $99
membership fee and proof of student status gives you up to 20% off
your first hardware purchase from the Apple store. In total, I saved
nearly a thousand pounds ($1500+) on the cost of the same machine in
the UK. Truth be told, it was the amount I would save by buying here
that inspired me to look at PowerBooks rather than iBooks in the first
place.
Delivery in 2-3 business days. I can hardly wait.

checking its progress across the world every two or three hours. It

across the world to Luxembourg - another place I've never been. When
we finally meet, it will be as two explorers who have explored the
world - weary and ready to settle down...
