That's laughable. There has been no need for memory management software for Windows since before the NT days. Presumably you last used Windows in the Win98/ME days? You should update your arguments

I do want one, I think you mis-understood or I need to re-state. I meant to say its not BECAUSE I want one (meaning I do, but Im not saying they need to just because I want one)....
Expect there to be 13, 15 and 17-inch white MacBooks. Why? Apple is losing out too much in the lower price sector because not everyone wants a 13.3" screen. They will be polycarbonate and weaker than their Pro counterparts - expect the current MacBook specs, don't expect the integrated battery pack.
Although it would make some sense for the tablet to replace the 13.3" MacBook, it will be a separate product. There is still too big a market for it to discontinue the full-fledged MacBook.

Glad to see there are some NON jerks in this forum.
I may buy one before, because I really want one. I bought a super cheap G3 in December (50 bucks on ebay [see specs in sig]) just to get somewhat of a feel for OS X and I really like it. I'm only boycotting for now because it only seems logical that Blu Ray should be released soon. If not, that really sucks (for me) but I am not willing to wait after the next refresh because OS X is that amazing. Still, I will be very disappointed with Apple.
I think this would be disastorous sorry.
I was considering buying the white MacBook at first but the screen is such a let down.
I'm hoping that if the rumour is true of an update coming to the macbook I'd hope for the black to come back and a better screen
I wonder what you all do with your MACS
I love my current iMac, it is fast, I hardly ever need to wait, it never crashes. It performs. And I do lots of processor intensive tasks. I love working on it.
So I don't really need a faster processor (I am at 100% maybe 1% of the time)
BlueRay, no real need for it, I don't really watch that many tv
Actually there's probably only one update I would have wanted on my iMac and it's a eSata port or maybe a PCIecpress slot so I could add sata external drives and have some more performant hard disk speed. But that's specifically true for the fact that I am doing a lot of video editing.

I often wonder if Blu-ray is the last optical technology -
I mean who wants disks? they are so last millennium >_0 SDXC upto 2 Tb ... for those who realllly want to own physical things. (edit: to list the first technology i googled)
Of all the threads screaming 'I wanna Blu-ray' the same arguments seems very lacking to me - x

I agree on this. I have one of the small wireless keyboards (got it at no cost with my Mac Pro in 2008), I wouldn't say I hate it, but I absolutely cannot use it seriously, and have to stick with my older apple wireless keyboard, the full sized one with white keys and clear-case.
It's a shame, as the old keyboard isn't as nice to type-on, and is a lot heavy/bulkier than the aluminium keyboards. But the loss of a number-pad, tiny arrow-keys, less function-keys, and so-on, it's just not good for serious use at least for me.
The keyboard cases for the aluminium wired and wireless keyboards are almost identical though except in size, so it seems a no-brainer to just make them the same, and slot in a different component for the cylindrical part depending on whether it's wireless or wired, then they could give us the full choice of four different keyboards. As the aluminium keyboards are just awesome to type on, but not if I've nothing I can type =S
My 13'' iMac is actually perfect for me. Bring back those smaller screens, and update the innards.

Which is why there is a 7 page memory tweaking article for Vista on Techspot:

...or type in memory manager for xp in google.
No Macs for poor people. They shouldn't be using computers anyway. And we don't want them in our stylish, hip stores. They would ruin the ambience with their Walmart wardrobes and annoying behavior. Let eat cake and use emachines.
You've been spying on the user group I went to?
I think Blu Ray would be a good option if anything just from a back up stand point. While alot of things are either going to a cloud or backups going to a hard drive format I think there are still uses for physical media - I don't think it's a completely dead format just yet.
Actually I would prefer a Mag-Safe connector - that cord is the only thing that endangers my iMac's life. The rest of the cords are desktop bound if that.
It might be.
I don't think Apple will bother with new DVD disc formats anymore, for two reasons... download speeds increasing, and SSD technology increasing...

I lol'd.

I'd like to see some spec bumps on the Mac mini. Make 2.26 GHz the baseline with a 2.4 GHz option. And a 500 GB hard drive option too, please. 2.5" 500 GB drives are now plentiful.
Wow, macbook update predictions in the fall .... Nostradamus!
Don't feel too bad. Mine is 1 day old and already there's a new one coming out.
Oh well, it's not like ours are paper weights. It's still a rockin' machine.My wishes
Likely
200$ cheaper
No or less chin
LED Backlit Screen
Mobile Quad Core i7 (high end model)
Unlikely
Matte option
SSD option
Replaceable HD
Very unlikely
USB 3.0
ATI 5850 GPU option
No CD/DVD/BD (physical disc are dead like floppy at the time, please free up all that space in MB, MBP & iMac !)

keep it and be happy...
and you could hope that apple just screws up there iMac line like they did their MBP line (though now that there is a matte option, I feel a little better).
And personally I would watch blu-ray movies on my computer all the time. And so would a lot of college kids (coupled with netflix), if the option was there. In fact I watch the majority of all video media on my computer (through a projector or monitor).
But I don't expect great things from Apple anymore (computer wise/tablet excluded). I'm not an average consumer (neither are a lot of people on this forum), and that's who the company targets.
