<item><title>First Mac Pro Update</title>
<description><![CDATA[Update: The Mac Pro has been updated, and it's a big one for the hard core users who now have eight cores at their disposal.Now that Apple is has completed the transition to Intel for its pro desktop line, we're likely to see more frequent updates  in sync with Intel's roadmap, so we may even see a revision to the Mac Pro line before the end of the year.  There's even a good chance that we could see dual quad core CPUs in a Mac Pro in the form of Clovertown, the quad core version of the dual Xeons in the newly released model.
When do you predict the first update to the new Mac Pro line will be?]]></description>

<item><title>Will Apple sell DRM free music in 2007?</title>
<description><![CDATA[Update: EMI's announcement today crosses out the All DRM option, we'll have to see how the rest of 2007 plays out.

Do you think Steve will get his way in 2007 and start selling at least some music on iTunes without DRM? Will Apple sell DRM free music in 2007?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Update: MacRumors is reporting that the contest is over, with the winner pocketing $13,854.  

Update: This looks promising, but with a $12,000 prize up for grabs it's unlikely we'll hear details of anyone's progress before they've claimed their prize.
Update: This is getting close...

Now that the inside of a Mac isn't that different to the inside of a PC, it's only a matter of time before we see Windows running on a Mac.  Apple has said they won't do anything to stop it - the only problem at the moment is that the new Macs use EFI instead of BIOS, which isn't supported by  Windows XP.  It will however be supported in Vista, and we may well see a hack before then.When do you predict the first report will be made of Windows being installed on an Intel Mac? If you see a report of this happening, be sure to let us know! ]]></description>

<item><title>Top 5 Predictions for Macworld SF</title>
<description><![CDATA[
iPod Shuffle Update - You're predicting this for the 10th of Jan - Keynote Day -  with not many predictions far off this date.  Will you get it spot on like you did for the Video capable iPod?
Announcement of the first Intel Macs - 82.5% of users predict this - but is it just wishful thinking?
Widescreen iBooks - 86.1% predict widescreen iBooks, and as they're due for an update, perhaps we'll see it next week.  The current prediction is for a March update, but look at the graph for the big group of predictions around Macworld time.
Mac Mini Update  - the last Mac Mini processor bump didn't even warrant an update to the Apple store.  You have the Mini predicted as one of the first models to go to Intel, and it's also due for an update.
No Intel Pro Machines - You are predicting Power Macs and Powerbooks to be updated next in March, and even for the next round of Power Mac updates to stay PPC based.

We'll see how you've done in just 4 days now...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Update: Not the biggest upgrade ever, and the 12" Powerbook remains unchanged.
With the last updates coming at the end of Jan, this might be a while off...  unless Apple has something up their sleeve.  Dual core CPUs coming to the Powerbooks first perhaps?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Update:The new iBooks are out - and you've predicted this to within a day.
What's next for the iBook?  Widescreen is one possibility, or maybe just a bump up for the current specs.  Come October it will have been a year since the last iBook update - when do you predict the next revision will be?]]></description>

<item><title>First Mac With Intel Released</title>
<description><![CDATA[Update:You were just 22 days off with this prediction, not bad when you consider we started taking predictions on the day of the Intel announcement.
The rumors are true!  At the keynote earlier today Steve Jobs said Apple would start shipping Intel based Macs before June 2006.  When do you predict the first Mac with Intel inside will be released?]]></description>

<item><title>Prediction Algorithm Change</title>
<description><![CDATA[We've changed how we calculate our predictions,  going from a weighted average to a weighted median.  Previously, one outlying prediction would move the result quite a bit.  The new algorithm seems to be a little more accurate on average, and gives results that better match the graphs.  There's still room for a bit more tweaking though!Also new - if there's something you'd like our users to make a prediction on, your can send us the suggestion.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Update: One of our best predictions yet, right on the money!

<item><title>Powermac Update</title>
<description><![CDATA[Update:
Your predictions have new Powermacs arriving in just a few days time, coinciding with the Paris Expo... so are we just 3 days away  from new G5s? Answer:Not quite, but not far off either...

IBM 
announced dual core G5s today - could this be what Steve Jobs meant when he said "we’ve got a lot of great PowerPC products in the pipeline"?  With the last revision to the Powermac being only a minor upgrade, could the next update be not far off?  When do you predict the next Powermac update will happen?]]></description>

<item><title>Mac Without Firewire</title>
<description><![CDATA[Firewire support has been a key feature of Macs for a while now, but it's gone from the most recent iPods, and there are suggestions it'll be gone from the portables soon.  Suddenly external HDs with dual interfaces look a lot better than the ones with just Firewire...  When (if at all) do you predict Apple will release its first Mac without firewire?]]></description>

<item><title>iVideo Music Store</title>
<description><![CDATA[Update: Apple is now selling videos to go with the new video capable iPods, no full length movies yet though.

With this being "the year of HD video" it's a pretty good bet that Apple will be launching a video version of the iTunes music store at some point.  Will it start with music videos or even something from  Disney?  On what date do you predict Apple will start selling video downloads?]]></description>

<item><title>October 12th Apple Event Predictions</title>
<description><![CDATA[There's a lot of speculation about the Apple event happening on the 12th of October.  Here's the MacPredict roundup... Our members expected Powerbooks and Powermac updates early last month, but if they are finally announced on Oct 12 we're expecting G4 Powerbooks and dual dual core Powermacs.  More significant perhaps are predictions for a Video iPod and iTunes video store, very close to the 12th.  So it will an interesting few days as we see which predictions are correct!]]></description>

<item><title>First Mac Mini Speed Bump</title>
<description><![CDATA[Update:Although it's not official yet, Apple has confirmed it's shipping 1.33GHz and 1.5GHz Mac Minis.  Looks like frequent minor updates is the way forward for the Mini.  This update also seems to have caught all our users by suprise, with even the closest prediction being 7 days off!The last Mac Mini update saw overall specs being upgraded, but the CPUs remained at 1.25GHz and 1.42GHz.  When do you predict the Mac Mini will get a CPU speed increase?]]></description>

<item><title>xServe Update</title>
<description><![CDATA[Update:
The xServe line had a minor bump today in the form of the introduction of a 500GB Sata drive module, bringing the xServe's maximum storage capacity to 1.5TB, and the xServe Raid to 7TB!


The xServe line was last updated in January, topping out at 2.3GHz.  With the Powermac G5 at 2.7GHz there's still plenty of room for the xServe to move in the PPC architecture.  When do you predict the next xServe update will be?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Based on your predictions, the Apple Expo in Paris next month is likely to see new powerbooks, though that's just one of 17 open predictions.
