SSD without doing DIY or having externals is the only reason I am waiting for it
His predictions regarding the MBA and rMBP were spot on. He's been on the ball, unlike the most others playing the rumours game.
As I admitted before ... YES, his predictions are quite good indeed, it's in the release dates that he screws up a little bit (guess what ? It's actually what we're looking for)
Other than the MBP bump in Nov 2011 (and that really was the smallest of small CPU upgrades by Intel), Apple takes at least 3 months (in many cases more than 6 months) from the release of new processors by Intel before incorporating them into their machines. So Haswell in an iMac is July 2013 at the earliest. If anyone wants to wait that long, I'd suggest they probably don't need a machine after all.
I suggested some months ago (WWDC) that the real reason for the delay the refresh of the iMac was how well rMBP 15" was selling. Which was taking up all available SSDs. That was shot down (perhaps for good reason, I don't know my SSDs) because it was thought the desktop SSD would be different to the rMBP SSD. I am still not convinced that didn't play a part. Apple would not have released a new iMac using last Gen SSDs when a laptop (rMBP) has the latest and greatest.
And because SSD is so critical to computing experience these days (if you say it isn't then you haven't really worked with SSD properly), I think Apple will make sure this technology is available in volume before releasing both the new iMac and the likely MUCH more higher volume 13" rMBP.
PS. Buddy, if I may take some liberties and give you some advice: I try very hard not to be critical but really pay some attention to your punctuation. I realise English is not your first language but predictive texting and the usual iOS bug of putting comas a space too far is really making your writing incomprehensible at times. Which is. Shame because you have some good and interesting points to make.
Yeah, at this point Apple should just license OS X to run on non-Apple hardware. They can focus their hardware efforts on iOS devices, we can get machines much cheaper and not have to play their waiting game, and everyone's happy. I switched to Mac before the switch campaign because I wanted a machine that worked without having to fiddle with it, so I'm not going to build a hackintosh that will choke on an upgrade. I need a computer to work on, and while I could do part of my work on Windows (Photoshop is there, something similar to Coda probably exists and whatnot), I also pretty much need Unix so I'm stuck. I'm getting seriously pissed off at this point.
I am not sure what your beef is with this guy, but his writing is hardly incomprehensible.
Nothing wrong with the commas here, apart from the spacing, which isn't exactly a major issue. There are two spelling mistakes, but there is nothing wrong with the punctuation.
It would be more correct, in this case, to change the comma to a ":", but, again, this is hardly the end of the world, nor does it make the post unreadable.
So now that you've pointed out the speck in your brother's eye, let's check how bad the plank is on your side.
You're missing a comma between "language" and "but".
In addition, the sentence could do with a comma between "texting" and "and", and another comma between "far" and "is", like so:
The sentence would also flow better by inserting a "that" between "realise" and "English", if you want to show off your English writing skills. By the way, a coma is not a comma. These two words have very different meanings.
Perhaps you should follow your own advice?
My writing is not perfect, but there is no need to be the grammar police, especially when you're giving out awful advice.

Guys, this may have been mentioned before, but I am just wondering what does it mean!

Yes you're right .
I made mistakes such as the "," instead of ":" even if i'm not sure if its all me or
Ipad,by the way thanks.
I realize english is not my first language,can you tell me more about my two spelling mistakes?
Seriously sometimes i'm fighting against the virtual keyboard and the predictive language especially while i'm on rush.

Looks as though we can expect the new iMac to have a resolution bump and some special anti-glare coating. This might be an option / BTO spec. I am not sure what they mean by qHD in this case though, because according to standards qHD = 960x540 so they obviously mean something else, like QUXGA (3200×2400), or WQUXGA (3840×2400).
If they are gearing up production for August and expecting good profits in the second half of 2012, I think it means we should be expecting to see the refreshed iMac sometime around October. Possibly the second week.
----------
"i" should be "I", always.
"avaiable" should be "available".
I always thought that "realize" is the correct spelling, not "realise" (although being not a native English speaking person, I could be wrong ...)
Lets say if and do mean if there is no iMac release this year, because of let's say display shortages, than next year apple will dedicate a conference to a major iMac and maybe Mac Pro release, this seems logical with the major changes in the MacBook retina and iPhone. Imac Retina displays will be the flavour of next year whether they will be 4k is still debatable.
In fact we can see slimmer imacs with the loss of the optical drive, larger screens by reducing the Bazel, less reflection, and all the hardware goodies like Bluetooth 4.0, USB 3.0 better processing and graphics and memory bumps.
I only wish they make a Mouse that magical runs on a glass surface.

I really apologize ,i'm tryin to improve myself each time,reading your observations,trying to understand some figure of speech i find and i like it because this makes me literally learning by reading.
Punctuation is a mistake, i understand this ,but sometimes i'm really fighting with my fingers against my Ipad and its keyboard,wrong vowels or consonants,commas etc and sometimes i discover my mistakes only after re-reading.
So please correct me and let me able to understand my limits,it is very important to me not been a pain for the eyes reading my words.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Can i ask you what's the meaning of "whats your beef"?
You asked the wrong man, pal ... no clue, I'm Italian : ANYBODY HELP HIM (and me !) PLEASE
----------
... it's quite a huge pond ...
Thanks.

Roughly, "Please describe in detail the exact problem you have with <idea/person>".
I have to agree with you Confuzzzed,MbProRetina could be the reason why Apple is not updating its desktops even if i don't understand why the 13"Retina isn't yet out.
Lamination issues?
----------
Well i'm italian too,i'm from Florence.
Piacere.

Both are correct.
From oxford dictionary:
The dictionary on the UK/World side of our website gives alternative -ise spellings at the main entries for all -ize words where its appropriate. In British English, it doesnt matter which spelling convention is chosen: neither is right or wrong, and neither is more right than the other. The important thing is that, whichever form you choose, you should use it consistently within a piece of writing.
Basically, in the UK it's correct to use realise or realize. In the US you should use realize.
Ok,thanks.

Well this may justify the delay but will they update silently?
So, basically I won on points ...
Just joking ----------

I had a feeling about it ... forza Fiorentina !

Alè Viola!!!!
I'm 37, from England, and have never used "realize". I've never seen anyone use anything other than "realise". "realize" makes me shudder.. urg.
"Realize" is officially correct, but schools in British English countries (UK, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand) teach kids to use the ise version.
If you don't know too, I just don't know what to think ... I'm not English : ask theSeb if his dictionary is a good one !
