Huge Apple Purchase Sparks 32GB iPhone Rumors

Huge Apple Purchase Sparks 32GB iPhone Rumors
Apple, Inc.'s purchase of 100 million 8GB NAND chips has sparked rumors of an upcoming 32GB iPhone. Apple is expected to introduce a new iPhone at the WWDC in June, and 32GB would help Apple compete with app stores from other smartphone makers. A 32GB iPhone could come at the same time as the iPhone OS 3.0.

The Mac Pro 2009 will support non ECC memory

In the words of Cédric:

A small message to let you know that I have just received my new MacPro Nahelem Quad 2,66 GHz. I have just tested a set of 3 memory card 2GB OCZ DDR3 PC10600 (FSB of 1333 MHz) NON-ECC. The machine accepted them without a problem. They are recognized as 1066 MHz, the absence of ECC does not create any problem.

Being surprised that this memory functions, we asked him to make a hardware test on his machine. It ran in a normal way without posting any errors. Even though this makes it possible to find less expensive memory, we strongly advise you to use ECC memory that avoids the small risks of hanging related to a corruption of the data on a card.



Talkcast preview: special guest Mitch Wagner from InformationWeek

Filed under: ,

If you joined us last Sunday night, you heard an unvarnished rant in five-part harmony as Dave, Christina, Mike S., Mel and I all weighed in on the ongoing series of "Laptop Hunters" Microsoft TV ads (yes, there's a third one now: an adorable mother-and-son team of laptop shoppers who shockingly still find time to slag the Mac as a kiddie machine while they browse the aisles) along with MacHeist and the other news of the week. You can download the show from Talkshoe or subscribe in iTunes.

Tomorrow night -- Easter Sunday, 10 pm ET -- we'll be joined by a special guest: Mitch Wagner of InformationWeek, also known (in Second Life, anyway) as the metallic talkshow host Copper Robot. Bring your questions for Mitch about Apple news, virtual communities, social media & the public sector... we'll be covering the entire waterfront.

To participate on TalkShoe, you can use the browser-only interface, or you can stick with the classic TalkShoe Pro Java client; however, for maximum fun, you should call in so we can hear your dulcet tones. For the web UI, just click the "TalkShoe Web" button on our profile page at 10 pm Sunday. To call in on regular phone or VOIP lines (take advantange of your free cellphone weekend minutes if you like): dial (724) 444-7444 and enter our talkcast ID, 45077 -- during the call, you can request to talk by keying in *-8. SIP or Gizmo users can connect directly to Talkshoe by following the instructions here. Talk with you then!

Recording support for the talkcast is provided by Call Recorder from ecamm networks.
