All I care about right now is if this will run on a Mac pro 1,1. And if so, and it is using all cores finally, will there be a big performance increase on my system over my current FCP6.
If the answer is yes to both I'm in. I won't be impressed however if they artificially lock out older Macs.

If this is the theme this year then it looks like wireless is the main product announcements. Unless they want to hide any reference to multi-touch.

I don't know if you like Firefight mode, but they have matchmaking available for that. That way, you aren't competing against other people, so you shouldn't feel too outclassed. And since the max players for that is 4, it finds matches super quick. Maybe give that a shot and see how it goes.
My issue with Firefight is the betrayal system which I hear Bungie is looking at. Because Firefight - Matchmaking IS a competition. When playing gametypes like Sniper - fight, & especially Rocket - fight, there is always the one or two that have to get EVERY kill. I have no problem with that, but since the Sniper & Rocket Fight gametypes involve distance weapons one or two will usually stray into your line of fire. This suddenly becomes YOUR fault, and the idiot who rushed into that swarm of elite you are firing on, gets to boot you from the game. Some players have gotten to the point of abusing the boot feature, which is why Bungie is looking into it.
I admit I am not the biggest fan of Halo multiplayer, not liking the general community that plays.

This almost requires that iCloud be a free service for iOS users. A back up is prudent for any OS upgrade so having all or nearly all of your phone's personal data backed up or exclusively stored in the cloud would be a system that would allow iOS devices not have to rely on an iTunes direct link.

With newspaper profits tanking, this may be the way to resurrect the American newspaper. Grab your iPod off the dock in the morning and read the Times on your iPod while you're sitting on the train.

Oh ya... he's something cheesie... this has been on my mind for a while. In january, Steve demoed GarageBand and showed how to make PodCast. He did that fake podcast and said 'Hi this is steve, and this is my Super secret apple PodCast' then he proceded to make jokes about the next iPod... he said the next iPod coming out would have a 10 inch screen and weigh 8 pounds.
Well... Tuesday is 8/10
Remember 2 years ago when Jobs demoed Spotlight... he searched for 'Paris' then searched for iMac. Sure enough... the iMac G5 was released at Paris.
I just thought that was interesting.
HAHA, priceless.
That would be really nice.
How come, you remember stuff like this?

Black or White C2D?
The black one is only £20 cheaper than same spec white one if you upgrade it to 120gb HD.
Which colour to get? :confused:

No more PowerBook. Love the new Mac Mini, I would put in an SSD, but they're still too expensive, and I really don't need one. Its extremely quiet anyway.
Stock Mac Mini 2.4ghz + 4gb of RAM (Crucial off Newegg)
20" Cinema Display (I'm going to mount that powerbrick behind the desk, I hate looking at it)

There's pretty much none in Oregon, and I heard from one of my local walmarts that, the last they knew, they weren't going to recieve any shipments until june! It's ridiculous. Limited supply+scalpers+huge demand= SNAFU.

Yes, I know that some places (e.g. Texas), black people are provided with retarded attourneys who show up intoxicated in court - if showing up at all.
This is the first I've ever heard of this. Do you have a source? Usually the situation is that public defenders have too many cases.
You do realize there are plenty of other minorities who are not black right? They don't seem to be having the same problem. By your logic Asians, Indians, and even Jews should be having the same problems. But they're not. I have no bias in my OP, just cold hard facts. You choose to continue to sugarcoat the issue and be politically correct, but you're wrong.
The influx of Russians into parts of the U.S. is bringing more crime.

My 32GB ssd ipod mini is still going strong. These things last pretty well, so even if they discontinue them, buy one on ebay or something and it might last you until something else comes along.

Yeah i agree, no dedicated videocard. Its just not fesiable for the size/ price etc.
Anyhoo, I can see this update being VERY similar to the macbook pro one. Everyone was shocked with the iBook to Macbook transition, i dont think they will shock us again by suddenly adding a dedicated videocard to this lineup, or new form factor... or anything else you guys are 'hoping' for haha.
I can see a bigger HD wireless n and new processor. thats about it.
more RAM and standard DVD burner are mabyes...
haha and oh yeah, mabye a matte screen option.
As well, i agree w. some of the previous posts, no release tomorrow. Too much going on in the world haha. + i still think macbook pro's deserve some spotlight.
14th is the day.................... bets?
haha

hey - heres an idea Apple - rather than enter the world of gimmicks and toys, why dont you spend a little more time sorting out your pathetically expensive and crap server line up?
or are you really aiming to become a glorified consumer gimmicks firm?

Notice the phone besides the ipod and itunes? This page is about podcasts and what is a phone doing there alongside ipod and itunes? Does this spell something
about what we all wanted from apple: the iphone? Just my 2 cents. Leopard rox!
What kind of phone is that? Just a mockup?

I feel bad for all the designers/photographers/filmmakers (part of companys and esp. freelance/new graduates). How the hell will folks be able to afford upgrading every year and/or two years.
Nobody is forcing you to upgrade your OS or your computer every other year. Just because Apple introduces a new upgrade doesn't mean you need to upgrade right away, either. In fact if you're right in the middle of a client job, you'd be a fool to try it.
Even if you lease Photoshop every month—which everybody before me in this thread pointed out it's a crappy deal— if you can't make $35/month in jobs with it, maybe you should a) rethink your business plan/up your prices or b) go into a different line of work. Every trade needs its tools. Photoshop is just another tool.

I'm not sure if my macbook's shutdown apply to the ones being discussed, but I suppose that's my question. I received my macbook in early september, and within a week it started to freeze the screen intermittently, and after a few days became more and more frequent. BUT THEN it started giving me kernel panics often. Both issues built up until I was having to shut down my computer 7+ times in a day. These were all random occurrences with no links to running certain programs, etc. I sent it in to AppleCare and they replaced the HD (after I had already wiped it, reinstalled, and the problem started again). After a couple weeks of getting my serviced macbook back, the problem has started again from the start, starting slow and then happening 7+ times in a day. AppleCare has told me that there is nothing they can do until the problem becomes increasingly worse, to the point that they can reproduce the problem easily. This is very upsetting, since with the very consistent progression of these kernel panics (and freezes) will land right around my midterms....ANYONE have ANY suggestions here? I don't even know if this is in relation to the random shutdowns you're talking about... But I'm desperate here.
Call Apple consumer relations. I'm not sure of the exact phone number but I'm sure someone here has it handy ;) That kind of service is simply not acceptible!

Best use of selective color I've seen. Love it.
Thanks, when I was taking it I was unsure if it would come out the way I wanted. Even if it didn't come out there was something still fun about rubber ducks in a water fountain.

Couldn't Facebook also approve all of their applications by default, and only be given access to a user's personal information by explicit consent of that user?
The problem is that Facebook has much more sensitive information in it than your iPhone address book card. Not only that but significantly MORE information in it.
It's difficult to compare the address book on your iPhone to that of your entire friends list, including possible relationships (family, friends, peers), your phone number(s), your friends phone number(s), their family members, my website address for both personal and professional uses, email addresses for personal and professional use, birthdates, favorites (books, music, movies), etc.
Think of how that could be used.
My iPhone address book card has my emails, address, phone numbers. While those are important it doesn't tell you nearly as much about me that could be used in extremely bad ways. Think more than spam and sales calls.
