Boot Camp lets you install Windows XP without moving your Mac data, though you will need to bring your own copy to the table, as Apple Computer does not sell or support Microsoft Windows. Boot Camp will burn a CD of all the required drivers for Windows so you don’t have to scrounge around the Internet looking for them.

Apple Updates 30″ Cinema Display

March 29th, 2006 Posted in Technology |

From DailyTech:

Competition is always healthy, especailly in our industry. Several weeks ago, we reported on Dell’s 3007WFP – a mammoth 30″ LCD supporting a native resolution fo 2560×1600. Of course, Dell wasn’t the first to release such a screen, as Apple had announced its 30″ Cinema Display just close to a year prior to the 3007WFP. However, Dell’s new screen was supporting much better specifications:

  • 178 degree viewing angle on the Dell vs. 170 on the Apple
  • 700:1 contrast ratio on the Dell vs. 400:1 on the Apple
  • 400 cd/m2 light output on the Dell vs. 270 cd/m^2 on the Apple
  • 14ms pixel response time on the Dell vs. 16ms on the Apple

Several readers have emailed us claiming that Apple has updated its 30″ Cinema Display to reflect the new panel used in the display. Apparently, Apple’s panel change on the 30″ ACD now matches the specifications of the Dell 3007WFP. However, the Cinema Display lacks the 8-in-2 media card reader slots that come with the Dell and is not as flexible in terms of viewing adjustments (the 3007WFP can be height adjusted and swivled).”
