Cool - a picture!

I can't wait to see the movie actually. The picture is sort of stark and boring. Much prefer the Chocolate Factory! They had colourful things and rivers of chocolate!!!!

Here's a preliminary promotional photo. Steve Jobs and the Apple Factory. 12/2009. The six month leave is to finish post-production.

Hahaha, there's some good photoshopping in the thread. Good read so far!

 

[rowanmwilliams]

Nope, it's just a Fadel vertical machining center control panel.

Do these machines run on the forbidden windows?

I wonder if he has learned how to say "aluminum" properly yet or not.

Eh, probably not...

You mean how they say it across the pond, the way he says it having been born there?

Back in the day when I was into the whole F/X thing I would look at pictures of Tom Savinis workshop and pictures from on set with a magnifying glass. I found something that I couldn't explain in those photos from the late 70's and found out it was commercial grade KY Jelly.
Those were the days.

Now you kids pull up photoshop or aperture to do what took me hours.

I wonder if Apple could write their own CAD app? They certainly seem to have the experience.

That's pretty cool. I bet you spent a lot of time making that.

Too bad there isn't an Apple Factory. If there was, I would do anything for a golden ticket and getting to bring a camera along.

One word: sexy

 

[aafuss1]

Apple comes up with some really impressive designs-all thanks to Jonathan Ive-and I see one of Apple's aluminium keyboards in the photo.

Let down

I expected more

Apparently they use CAD software from these guys which they have got running on OS X

WHO CARES , this is the stupidest post ever imo, mainly because theres only one picture...

 

[macduke]

I think Steve was out of the office that day..for that camera to be allowed.

I hear he's been out of the office A LOT lately.....

 

[spencers]

I loved Helvetica. Can't wait for this film!

 

[iMaggot]

Is that an iMouser I see in the background??

LMAO, the thing on the table that looks like a robot ?

 

[ivladster]

The display in the background looks like it could be a prototype of an Cinema Display. This could be a replacement of the 30-in Cinema display and might have a touch-screen on it. (by looking at the size of the buttons and knowing the fact that companies are offering a touch screen upgrade for the new 24-in)

Apple might be putting in a touch screen to eliminate the need to hire another company to do so. Also, Apple needs to offer the Matte option for the Unibody MacBook displays like they are offering it for the new 17-in MBP.

LOL! RIGHT! That's just some screen to the laser gun that shoots all the Micro$oft Copycats from a distance.

Then why you on this forum?

I have met many from over the pond and none of them have said it like him.

I prey for that to happen! Then I just have to persuade my boss to swap this PC for a Mac.

 

[MacFly123]

That big machine in the Background, new Mac Pro.

I'm getting my credit card ready in anticipation for that sexy beast.

The comments Tim Cook made about how little business the Mac Pro gives them are kinda scaring me I hope they never drop pro support and all the pro apps. My life as a film-maker would be ruined pretty much Then again if they would update the Mac Pro and other desktops maybe they would sell more, but I know most people can't afford Mac Pros.

That studio looks very nice and clean and cool. It would be so interesting to just watch Jonathan Ive work for a day, or week, or month, or full product cycle

 

[MrSEC]

I bet those don't,but yes, most CAD software runs on Windows.

The comments Tim Cook made about how little business the Mac Pro gives them are kinda scaring me I hope they never drop pro support and all the pro apps.

I have been trying to find where he said that…
What I could find only related to the general pro (business) and education markets:

Q: How are the pro and education segments?
A: Businesses are cutting back. Education down 6% year-over-year in total, K-12 down 10%. Very significant funding uncertainty due to state budget shortfalls. We don't see this picking up very quickly.

Where did he say the Pro side is giving Apple little business?
Just curious…
