Apple WWDC 2009
WWDC is arguably now the largest Apple event of the year, where Apple will be unveiling more details on iPhone 3.0 and "Snow Leopard," but what else? A new iPhone? An Apple Netbook? Stick with Appletell for complete coverage and in depth looks at the new technologies as they're announced.
Our new podcast: Meet...
We know. Podcasts are so last year - but this one you won't want to miss. Whether it’s a rumor that won’t die, a new product announcement, or just a really good Macintosh or iPhone app find that we have to let you know about, we’ll make sure it’s covered on Appletellcast.
iPhone App Reviews
iPhone Apps. They were great when the App Store was first announced and we could all pick and chose what we wanted, but the number is now overwhelming. Here at Appletell, we'll detail the great iPhone apps we find, and steer you clear from those that aren't worth it even if they're free.
iPhone Game Reviews
As Apple turns the iPhone into one of the most popular gaming devices, the staff of Appletell--gamers and Apple fans alike--are here to help you get the most entertainment value out of your app store purchases.
When you first read of the MacBook Pro’s dual GPUs, you likely assumed they could be used simultaneously. This, currently, is not the case. You have to choose between the 9400M and the 9600M GT, which are separated by a user log out. According to Nvidia, this is not a limitation of their chips. The hardware is fully capable of running both GPUs at the same time and spitting out graphics like water from a fire hydrant.
And that’s not all. Both the MacBook and MacBook Pro could accept up to 8GB of RAM, not the 4GB cap that Apple has set.
Both of these things are minor details since neither is currently possible. But don’t get down, since these limitations are software and not hardware limitations, there is a possibility that Apple could enable both sometime in the future.
I agree with Gizmodo on this one. For the time being, I’d settle for being able to switch between the two GPUs on the MacBook Pro on the fly. Logging out and back in is a silly step not required by the hardware. Not only would this be faster and easier, it would also help to conserve battery life even when you need some serious graphics power.
I think Apple will address the log out issue on the Pros in the not too distant future with a software update, but I’m not holding my breath for being able to use both GPUs at once, or even 8GB of RAM. But, I can dream.
