I'm apple worst nightmare.

[sic]

I'll give you one of those words.

Found it.

So the next will be:

OS Xi

... little i being key.

Yes, it's already here; it's called iOS.

iMac: $898-$1958

So wait... a $101 discount on the 17" iMac but only a $41 discount on the 24" model? That doesn't make sense. Usually the more expensive the item, the larger the discount.

Yeah that employee probably lost his job dude.

Hopefully. He's obviously a moron

Note that it doesn't say "The iTunes Music Store is being updated." That's a pretty clear sign to me that not only are they going to add movies, it's also now just going to be the iTunes Store.

Good catch, although it could mean nothing.

I'm glad that Apple did this.

I'm tired of the people who argue that Mac OS X should be like Windoze. That is, to be able to install Mac OS X on any system other than a Macintosh.

Good job Apple.

Maybe it's the people you hang out with ;)

Next time, don't tell anyone the price you paid for it.

2. AMD is far superior. Right now Intel is in the lead, but it's not a true lead. For the longest time, AMD had the better architecture.

"For the longest time" ? x86 CPUs did exist before the year 2000, you know.

Intel had to do something, so they went back to the P3, tweaked it a little, and added some huge caches, and gave us a CPU modeled after a 6 year old (guessing here) CPU that ran at around the same GHZ speeds, but was faster.

The P3 (which begat the Pentium M, which begat Core, which begat Core 2) was basically just a souped-up P2. A P2 was basically just a Pentium Pro with MMX and an off-die L2 cache (what Apple would later call a "backside cache").

The Pentium Pro (Intel's first totally new x86 chip design since the 386) came out in 1995. So all your fancy new x86 Macs have a direct lineage to an Intel CPU over a decade old.

Personally I think it's a credit to Intel that the PPro has scaled from a massive, hot, "slow" 150Mhz server CPU all the way through low-power dual-core laptop chips up to a top-end quad-core CPU. AMD has been through three new CPU designs in the same timeframe and only been unquestionably faster for maybe 50% of it.

I really don't care anymore...tomorrow will probably follow a familiar formula - some disappointments, some bullseyes.

This is what I want after seeing the infamous "cube with a handle" patent that surfaced earlier this week:


That's just a continuation of the old cube patents - keeps anyone from copying Apple. The old cube had a handle too you know.

i get the feeling a lot of people are going to jump on the bash kanye west bandwagon since he trashed george bush.

I read somewhere he was going to get 'Dixie Chicked', that made me chuckle.

Pretty terrible honestly, it seemed as though there should have been at least one more major item. Let's hope that in 6 months we get more another major goodie.

Let's be nice to the mundanes and stick to x86 instead of comparing vendor based virtualization technologies. :D
At one level, a 386 and a Core 2 are identical...

In spite of the mundanes, let's not pretend that a 386 and a Core 2 are actually identical.. ;)

Well, if they treat their customers this way then what do they expect?

Imagine an icecream stand, selling icecream cones "revolutionarily" cylindrical in shape and everyone's icecream fell out the bottom. Then, they remedy this by going "ok, we'll give you all a small piece of paper to glue to the bottom that will sort of fix the problem."

I know. Damn you, Apple, for giving me a better phone than my 3G!! Damn you!!!

Can somebody tell me why there was no update or price drop on ACD? Why is the PRO market left to the most critical point and then updated? Mac Pro is the best example. Its a brilliant machine now but 2 weeks ago? Some of the parts were 2 years old and they still charged the same amount of money for it. Dell, HP etc. are releasing new and updated displays whilst Apple ...........sleeps?


Quite right! I've been worried since the switch to Intel. Now that Apple is competing head to head with other PC makers, they need to update their product lines at a faster rate (ideally at the same rate as their competitors). Instead, they seem to have taken a step backwards and have decided to update less frequently, which makes little to no sense to me. AAArgh!!!!!

oh you have a login screen. only logmein.com will work with that. the others will being on logon.

maybe implement a two-tier system? :D

ok. i might try and set it up next weekend. we'll see. only 2 more weeks here though! thank goodness!

System Preferences sorted alphabetically has been around for awhile now. If I recall correctly, I think I even remember it in Tiger. Not sure about anything before that.

They are currently sorted into the four categories first, and then alphabetically in those categories. It seems Lion is throwing everything together and doing away with categories

Woah at the end of that video why was she twitching really violently? She was flipping out, looks freaky :eek:

Doubt it. WWDC people can pay to get a seat - it's how it works. This event is a media only invite thing. I suspect that the guys at MacRumors aren't high on Apple's invite list. :-)

Wow, it's been over a year since I logged in here. o.O

That's where we get the updates from. Media folks send out constant text coverage.

We'll be getting the same coverage as the WWDC, don't worry.

What on Earth are you talking about? What are people stealing in the Arn's summary? The modified code isn't capable of running OS X, and until they closed the source, Darwin worked on most generic x86 platforms anyway.

Someone fixes a lack of functionality that existed in previous public versions and you call it "stealing"? WTF?

Because they fixed it with the intent to use it with Aqua. They will be stealing Aqua. I sincerely doubt anyone will go through the trouble just for command line only.

Even the blogger that was mentioned has a screen shot of Aqua running. There's the theft for ya :)

Nope. Wouldn't put the store down at 5:30 pm on a Thursday (EST) for maintenance. My money is on either a major failure (unlikely) or a PRODUCT(RED) MacBook.

EDIT:

Or, come to think of it, Quad Core Mac Pros.

awe dude now ive gotta stay up and find out! (its 10:30pm UK time!)

First, Apple must build an iPhone that will work on Verizon's CDMA network (iPhone is GSM & HPDA), OR Verizon must upgrade their network to handle GSM/HDMA. I don't thing either will ever happen.

Isn't Verizon's 4G network going to be GSM?

on another note if it is wouldn't their coverage also be spotty?

I dont like this. Now im going to be too paranoid about how people rate my posts :p

In reality I don't care. It really does not affect my MR experience and i am neutral to it.

i just don't see this happening. Intel has better performance, especially in notebooks (correct me if i'm wrong)

OK...Not a correction and I see it that no one is either right or wrong. I am using a custom built AMD powered laptop that literally, if it had tires, could burn a set slap off the rims by squeeling out....and it is like greased lightning, and was the cat's meow until the Core 2 Duos were released.

I would put this little jewel up beside anything out there, and it isn't even an Apple.

BUT

Soon that is what I will be using... Macbook Pro...ie the Rolls Royce of the computer world.

;)
