2006: Year of the...?

[SpaceMagic]

Hey all,

Just thinking out loud here, but 2004 was christened by Steve Jobs, 'Year of the Notebook' and 2005, 'Year of HD'. So what will 'Year of 2006' be? I've thought of a few things:

Year of the iPod
Year of the Minis
Year of Change
Year of Cheese Fries?

Who knows... what's your thoughts?

Also what's occurred to me is that a new version of iLife has come out at the last few MWSFs... so are we ready to see iLife 06 next week? And if so, what will be new? Can't wait to see the new iPhoto - i'd love to see what they've thought of now.

Year of Media Convergence.

Indeed.

Year of the cineMac!

 

[Jaffa Cake]

2006 is the Year of the Dog.

As for Apple, I'd guess next year is going to be the Year of Intel, as the new processors are gradually rolled out across the product ranges.

 

[vniow]

I predict it will be the year of the SPOON!!!

 

[freeny]

Year of the powerbook!

MMMMMM duel processors

dueling processors??

that sounds like a problem to me.

 

[miloblithe]

Year of the Intel transition seems likely.

Year of the Intel transition seems likely.

Yet not very catchy.

OOPS! Of course I meant "DUAL"

Hmmm, now that you say that, deuling processors would be intersting but probably pretty unproductive.

Audio, video, high definition, that's all old news.

Apple will make 2006 the "Year of Olfactory Computing", with Macs that come in difference fragrances. Those blueberry iMacs and Tangerine iBooks will be back, but actually smell like blueberries and tangerines!

And next year will be two-thousand double-oh-seven, which means it'll be the James-Bond-themed "Year of the Spy Gadget", with a secret decoder ring coming with each iPod and Macs that spray poison gas if enemies try to tamper with them.

 

[joepunk]

Year of the muddy mississippi river. Farmers say it is to thick to drink, yet to thin to plow.

 

[iMeowbot]

The Year of Outrageously Priced Generic Hardware Obscured by Spiffy New Buzzwords and Flashy Cases.

 

[Lacero]

The Year of the Livingroom.

Considering 2005's Year of HD, it was pretty much a bust with the video iPod topping out at 320x240.
480x480 doesn't count because generic MPEG-4 sucks!

Here's to the Crazy Ones ​

No, it'll be like the Willy Wonka Chocolate factory. Everything will be edible! iPods, Powerbooks and iMacs.

"1,000 songs in your pocket, 1,000 calories on your ass".

It's the biggest Macrumors conspiracy of all. Steve Jobs = Willy Wonka!?

 

[SpaceMagic]

The Year of The Death of Hip Hop

One can but only hope.

"1,000 songs in your pocket, 1,000 calories on your ass".

ROTFL! That's great!

Well, I say it well be "Year of MacIntel"
- or - "Year Steve publically announces that he will retire at years end." God, I hope not!
- or - "Year we take over Microsoft" (like in the Capital One commercials with the warriors going around pillaging)

2006 will be the Year of People Hacking OS X To Run on Cheap Generic PC's
