It would be great if they will introduce a 23" iMac with a built in TV-tuner and a revision of Front Row :)
Great for the dorm room ... but rather pointless for the home theatre.
Bring on the DVD-player sized HTPC pizza-box - two to four tuners, 1.5 TB disk, Conroe....

I know we've overdosed on speculation recently, but the MacRumors live transcript from the keynote today contained the following line (from Steve I believe):
10:24 am lots more announcements during the next week
best to just wait and see......

I used to work at an apple store until Christmas and we were always the last to know things, we found out when the public found out eg the iMac launch, that's why they don't have the new stuff in stores the day it's announced, it stays in the back with someone who's signed a non disclosure agreement.
I'm so glad you said that ! ;)

So to all of you who said Conroe would be in iMacs -
*points and laughs*
:p
Well, don't put back your camera just yet. If I recall it correct, you never set any time limit when you made your bold statement about Conroe in iMac. My guess is that Conroe eventually will arrive in iMacs...and when it does... we do (sort of) look forward to your promised homemovie. :D

What I don't understand though is if WWDC is going to promo a load of new products why have a banner that is going to be completely out of date? :confused:
Indeed. That PM might be fairly pass� by the end of the Stevenote.

Dell sells computers with Linux preloaded, but I don't see Linux making any dent in anyones armor.
i think that that used to be the case, but no longer. back when w2k and xp was released, linux wasn't ?ready?. for experts, yes, but not normal folks. over the last two years that changed dramatically.. and over the last few years i have seen linux pop up in oddest places, like in an internet -terminals in hotels. previously they ran windows.
looking at features, windows is way behind linux, vista included. and looking at apps, windows doesn't offer anything that linux doesn't, for free. well, maybe games.

Shoot, they took away the ability to "Upload checked episodes" for podcasts. If I listen to half an episode and then plug my iPod in, it will sync that podcast off my pod, even if I wanted to listen to the second half later. I have to go back to the podcast directory and "Mark as Unplayed" the podcast to get it back.

FYI...anyone that is considering getting the in-store BT/AP module...
The tech on the phone told me that the G5 Powermac module will NOT work in the Mac Pro case...as the internals have been redesigned (power supply at the top, not bottom, new motherboard, etc.)
Also, seems the SATA interface is the newer "II" standard with twice the throughput, but it IS backwards compatible with SATA-I drives :DCheck the developer's notes. The Airport module runs on a x1 PCi Express slot and Bluetooth via internal USB 2.0.

Why would you want to download instead of using iTunes. It will download and install the right update file for each device. No worries. Based on the varying file sizes being reported here, there are obviously different builds for each device.
It takes 20 mins + per download so if I can update both ipads using the same download that saves 30 mins or so of my night. Done one ipad, downloading iphone software now, then going to try second ipad (the missus' one!).

Here's a question to ponder...How are people suppose to install this firmware if there macbooks keep shutting down?
Anyways, I reccomend people use this firmware instead of geting their heatsink replaced. The later option involves an ugly screw in the middle of your macbook.
At the next RSD, press the power button and don't let go until you hear a musical sound (maybe holding the button 4-5 second). Then when it reboots, it'll force the CUP to operate at 1GHz. And you won't get the shut down problem. This would probably be the best condition under which to do this firmware update. Good luck!

In the end, it is all marketing... which is the case with most of Apple's products. They have been selling PC hardware now for years at a higher price than their competitors. Windows 7 isn't any worse (or better) than MacOS for browsing the web or checking email..... so its not the OS that is influencing soccer moms and emo kids to buy Mac either.

It's fascinating how quickly the Democrat party has turned into the party of war... trying to justify it legally and morally at every corner. It's almost as if their anti-war stance for the past 10 years was a complete farce, and was more anti-Bush than anti-war, anti-intervention. Now that Obama is at the helm, core philosophy no longer matters, consistent
Yea, nothing to do with the fact that one of our wars was sold to the people under a complete and total (known) lie. That couldn't be anyone's basis for anger and resentment towards the war, it had to be a personal grudge against Bush.
Seriously 5P, do you have any idea what goes on in reality? How many Dems were out there rallying against the Afghan war while Bush was in office (now that public opinion has flipped everyone wants to get out)? That was the "good" war, remember? Saying that the Dems are somehow anti-war is to ignore the history of this nation. Both parties are far more than willing to march to the drum beat of war when it is "in the nation's interest".
Look at the Clinton doctrine for christs sake! It clearly states that it is the position of the USA that it can take unilateral military action anywhere in the world if US interests (or our allies, which pretty much leaves anything open) are threatened. It even specifically mentions using this clause to secure energy access.
Talk all the BS rhetoric you want, but you clearly don't understand the policies of this country are and are little more than a pawn (most of us as well) in the carefully constructed Dems vs. GOP sideshow distraction.
Can you point out any war in history that meets your ivory tower qualifications?
All of them.
The "interests" talking point is so incredibly open ended that literally any action can be considered in relation to it.
Notice how no one ever presses Hillary or Obama (or any politician for that matter) specifically what "interests" they are talking about? The term is used specifically because of the wide open weasel room it provides, and this is well understood by the press who more than willfully participate in the charades.

Suddenly I am interested in this news.
My father in law's 17" PB just died last night. Apparently leaving dumb bells on the lid is bad for the laptop. :rolleyes:
He is going to Turkey for three months at the end of this month and was intending to take the PB and my iSight camera so he can talk with us while he's there. Things have suddenly changed.

Ya, it doesn't have a nice 'Apple' look to it.
This is a concept drawing I did a while back .... I'm hoping the Apple Phone is more like this ... but I doubt it.

This is a play to get more of the millions and millions of people using iPhones and iPods and now iPads with Windoze to make the desktop switch. It's cool and should work well for that demographic if they can drop the price a bit. The big positive is that Apple has developed this technology to the point where their implementation on the desktop will be more intuitive and smooth operating than any of the Windoze solutions available.
I only wish if they did do something like this they wold incorporated pressure sensitivity as it would make it more useful for designers and open doors for other uses. I don't know whether Peratech has developed anything quite as sensitive as Wacom's technology, but they certainly seem to have developed something that could be useful for a lot of people. If QTC lives up to half of the hype the parent company should definitely be on Apple's acquisition radar.

Augh, I was hoping they would redesign the G5 case. Its been 3 years!! Cmon apple, stop milking old designs. I think this is the first time that Apple hasnt changed the look of the case when going to a new processor (theyve even changed cases when NOT changing processors...)

Remember the beige G3's? When Jobs first came back, he put the 233 G3's into the same beige boxes the old 604's were in so that they could be released sooner.

Obama is quite within his rights according to the War Powers Resolution (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Powers_Resolution) ...
The War Powers Resolution requires the president to notify Congress within 48 hours of committing armed forces to military action and forbids armed forces from remaining for more than 60 days, with a further 30 day withdrawal period, without an authorization of the use of military force or a declaration of war. The resolution was passed by two-thirds of Congress, overriding a presidential veto.
That is if America is under immediate threat, hence Bush's big case about WMDs before invading Iraq. America was under no threat from Libya. The President cannot simply go to war because he feels like it. That is definitely not a power he has by the Constitution but it is a power he'll take nonetheless. The Executive branch has taken more and more power away from the legislature and, most of all, the people and I don't think it'll stop until things get much worse.
I really hope he isn't under the Keynesian impression that war is good for one's economy. This is the mark of an empire in decline.
