These phones better be amazing and not annoying. nothing will make me hate apple more than seeing a 13 year old screaming into her iphone while driving her SUV.
NOTHING!
if anyone can do it, apple can.

They may as well not bother releasing iLife '07 in that case. Just go straight to '08
In which case, how about they tell us? I've been holding off on buying '06 since December because '07 is supposedly imminent. If they told us '07 definitely would not be out until the end of this year, I'd just get my credit card out and purchase '06, but I don't want to do that if '07 will be out in early May. I'm not asking for a detailed feature breakdown, just a quick comment on whether it's going to be out soon or at the same time as Leopard.
Sometimes Apple's stupid secrecy gets to me big time :(

Welcome to Macrumors, it is like this all the time. Some weeks are worse then others. You just get used to it!
Seems like you�ll only have something to get used if you expect MR to be something that it is not.
As we all know, some are better than others in terms of getting the release date correct. In some cases, there will be years of discussion about the same device and again and again false positives will come up, telling everyone it�s on the way even though it isn�t
But insight on when something�s going to happen isn�t the singular, or even the primary, purpose of these discussions. They�re an opportunity to talk about what MAY BE released and what sort of functionality/design it will have, how it will work, what the target market (beside us) will be, etc.

If you want te get the same effect, just draw a 3D cube via OpenGL, make it rotate back and forth, and move your head at the same time :D
They just linked the camera's position with your head's position, nothing to do with any free-glass 3D stereoscopic screen. Whatever, iPhone's screen can't become stereoscopic via software, so it's not 3D stereoscopic contrary to what is said in the video (see video's title) :rolleyes:
That's just french craps who think they created something new, but it's not...

this will be the new and improved "sync" ... btw if this isn't what they are going to do i still recommend taking a look at mac os x's mobile user configurations as it really is brilliant (as it also has the side effect of auto-backing up your laptop to a different machine))
Whats this, i have never heard of this, is it part of the OS, can someone help me out, either explain how to access this or where tor ead up on it.
The thing that gets me :eek: is the 3d capabilities. A 3d dock? A 3d expose? A 3d filesystem viewer? or just a simple 3d affect used when, i dunno turning on?
eww Flip 3d (http://www.winsupersite.com/images/reviews/vista-5219-review-flip3d.jpg) That image just goes to show what is wrong with the way Expose is implimented in Vista, what is that on the last window, have no idea. Expose is best in 2D no need for 3D.
I hope with the release of Leopard OS X doesn't require a reboot for updates or any sort. I'd also like to save my sessions upon shutting down. All the same windows open and in the same place as I left it. Another one would be a more GUI options for the firewall and perhaps an add-on for snort. I know third party tools exist, but I'd like it to be built into the OS. Widgets that can become part of the the desktop background, but not replace it. I'm sure I could make a huge list of improvements, but these are a few that I'd really like to see done.
I like these ideas, i already have developer mode switched on so i can have the widgets on the desktop, but i would prefer them to be a part of the background like you said. Really cool idea.

I've been waiting 3 weeks to buy a MBP assuming at least that iLife 07 would be announced today.
It may be there that never will be an iLife 07. Apple may decide to include it with Leopard.

Phil Schiller is a terrible presenter, perhaps he's a nice bloke.
Watching it in the UK at around 11.30pm last night, it quit out after about half an hour, and the quality was a little choppy before then.
Why did they decide to present the MacPro before the OSX leopard stuff? Maybe cos they didn't want to wheel Phil Schiller on at the end?
With regards to Jobs looking ill, lets face it, he works hard, and he's knocking on a bit now. Must have been a pretty hectic period shifting over to a different chip.

GSM is not compatible with EVDO, all things considered I would put my money on a quad-band GSM phone as it would give you the largest subscriber base globally with a single unit. Also gives you global roaming.
Besides – Sprint & Verizon are like the Microsofts of the telco world. I can’t give them money, and I really want a smart phone that works with my new MBP.
I'm kind of a newbie to the whole GSM and EV-DO thing. Which is faster EV-DO Revision A or the CINGULAR EDGE network?
IF a GSM phone or NETWORK is so slow, what good is it? E-mail? How are we going to run Mobile iChat on our new Apple iPhones if we are running on a slow network?
By the way... Cingular Wireless is like the Commodore of the tellco world. I don't know how, I just like how excited everybody gets when somebody mentions Commodore 64/128/Amiga 500 etc.
Peace

The latter in this case unfortunately.
QuickTime Pro usually gives you the option to download video content of the web, but these keynote streams are made in such a way that you can't save the entire movie. You download a part of it (cache), then you play that part, and after playing it, the cache gets deleted. And then the next part, and the next.... and so on.
To download the enitre movie stream, you need somekind of app that let's you save the cache.
I don't know why Apple doesn't podcast it, or make it downloadable..... but they are really doing their best to prevent it being downloaded.
IIRC not one Steve-note was made available by Apple. There are "alternative sources" to get them, but nothing legal....
Well I do not have broadband in my apartment (only here for 3 months) and a DSL connection is out of the question due to it being a serviced apartment. I tried hi-download but it streams @ 6kb/s and stops around 40mb!!
Would be a great help if somebody rips this and make it available via bit torrent!

Well, anybody who needs a DP workstation, anyway (you can't do dual i7s). I suppose you can make this argument for SP machines (SP i7 vs. SP Xeon), but two things:
1. SP workstation Xeons practically have pricing parity with their i7 equivalents, so it doesn't really matter much in the end. In reality, they're the same processors, only one has ECC memory support and one does not. Also, the W35xx Xeons run on the same Intel X58 chipsets the i7-9xx chips do. Overall manufacturing cost is essentially the same.
Example: The Xeon W3530 (2.8GHz) used on the base quad-core model is $294 (1000-part tray quantity) from Intel. Its i7 equivalent, the i7-930 is priced identically, at $294. Spec for spec, these chips are IDENTICAL, save for the Xeon's ECC memory support.
Exactly.
Apple's charging quite a premium for the SP systems vs. other vendors. DP systems are far closer in costs, but the PC versions do offer better warranties, better graphics choices (professional grade, not just consumer), and additional options (if purchased from the system vendor for a single point of contact for support needs).
2. As mentioned before, workstation computer buyers expect workstation-class hardware, not consumer-class. So that means Xeons, ECC memory and a heavy duty platform.
Generally speaking, this is true. But ECC isn't needed by all workstation users, such as creative professionals (don't use software based on recursive algorithms). Thus such users don't actually require Xeons (SP systems; no choice for DP models) or ECC memory of any kind (well built, reliable system Yes, but an Enthusiast Desktop part and standard non-ECC memory would suffice).
Perhaps the biggest anomaly with Mac Pros is Apple's continued use of consumer-grade GPUs in their configurations. With PC workstations, it's practically given that you'll get a FireGL or a Quadro. But that's an entirely different discussion...
In terms of using consumer grade graphics cards in workstations, it's definitely an anomaly.
As per whether or not it's a separate discussion, it would depend on the user's specific needs IMO. ;)

This is a huge nothing issue and the press is making a big deal about it because they are all libs and they hate corporations. They will do anything to make them look evil and out to get everyone. They also like to down success in any way possible.
I have 2 iPhones, 2 iPods, 1 iPad and 2 MacBook Pros they can track until their hearts content if they want. I'd also like to track them myself so I'll keep those services turned on!
I'd like to note that i know that Apple does not gather the tracking information. I am just saying if they wanted to they can, I don't care.

And this is why we don't take Daring Fireball as fact people, even though I could have told you this 2 months ago.
Daring Fireball stated the iPad 3 in 2011 was PURE SPECULATION not based on any kind of rumor or inside info. I guess everyone forgot to read that part of the post.
And, yeah, duh. With what's going on in Japan right now, we will be VERY fortunate to see an iPad Retina display in 2012.

I'll match that with Who Killed The Electric Car (http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who_Killed_the_Electric_Car%3F), and why. ;)
Where would we be today, if the lawmakers had not relented on the Clean Air Standards at that time, and the EV1 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_EV1) had continued to develop? :rolleyes:
I've worked for a struggling electric car company in the late 2000's, and that was in Europe where fuel prices are really high. I don't think there was any business to be made selling EVs in the 90's in the US. Can you really hold a company accountable for backing out of a money-losing venture? Nobody else was doing it, and even now, with batteries that can hold about 4 times as much energy per kg as the first EV1's batteries, it's not exactly straightforward for GM or Nissan to make a business case for these vehicles. I'll happily blame the oil companies, the government, and the buying public for killing off EVs, but I don't blame any of the car companies. Like I said, you can't just mandate that a certain type of vehicle be made, you have to include incentives to make people actually want to buy these vehicles. I'm knee deep in the technology, and I'm a huge proponent of it, but I don't have any delusions about it being a perfect technology that's only being held back by conspiracies. Based on the current cost of fuel, EVs just aren't attractive enough. This was much more so when GM and Toyota discontinued their EVs in the 90's.

Better value is the sum of Hardware + Operating System + Software = Performance
Paper spec used to interest me at one time too, then I grew up. ;)
Best fit depends on need, and what's available.
In terms of the hardware, Macs are using the same commodity components every other computer is built of, so there's no "special sauce" in that regard.
As per software, Apple doesn't develop that much. So most is 3rd party, and subject to the same developmental compromises that are made on any other platform (set goals on function/features and how to utilize development time that's within budget to generate them).
Depending on your needs, the OS may even be dictated by the software choices, as well as things like needing all the software to run on a single OS (i.e. VM not viable for whatever reason). For example, you want to run 3 software suites, and only one is even available under OS X. But they may have one OS in common, and booting between multiple OS's is a PITA.
So the real work is not in the writing of a book, but in the printing?
You're saying clusters are needed to write books? :confused: What are you smoking? :eek:
Books can be written on desktops, laptops, netbooks, or tablets. Smart phones too, if someone has indestructible fingers. :p
