The Apple cult rat race will get a kick in the rear soon, with sleeker, redesigned iMacs appearing to obsolete the expensive, fresh 24" model with which this very blog post is being written. Those bastards.

"For Apple, the impending iMac makeover will represent the first major industrial design overhaul to hit its flagship all-in-one consumer desktop line in nearly three years. The last eye candy to accompany an iMac update came back in August of 2004, when the company retired its "sunflower" iMac G4 design while introducing the portrait-style iMac G5."

The iMac hasn't been refreshed since late last summer or thereabouts, so it's due for an upgrade, in all seriousness. But let me tell you what the iMac needs: the iMac needs a better video card--one that can do games--so I don't have to steal time on the better half's PC to get in some R&R. The Nvidia GForce 7600 doesn't cut it. Apple needs a gaming PC to retain customers like me, and the new 24" iMac should be it.
