It looks like everyone, including myself, have given up hope of a Mac Pro or MacBook Pro update anytime soon.
The smoke has died down and everything now is about the iPad and probably will be for quite a while. I find Apple's lack of attention to their computer business very depressing.
It's a good thing the identity of the idiot who floated the rumored March 16th Mac Pro update information will never be known.
That "idiot" was most likely someone on the Apple payroll. Just like the rumor last year about Blu-ray being incorporated by Spring, Apple accomplishes two things by floating these false rumors: 1, it shuts up people asking for (and complaining about the lack of) needed features Apple refuses and has no intention of ever implementing, and 2, it tabulates and weighs the responses. Free market research, can't beat it.
And Apple will never again be a cutting edge computer company; that opportunity passed a long time ago and it's not ever coming back. The only thing more irritating than Apple's arrogance and disregard of its established computer base and pro app customers is the utter idiocy of new Apple iCrap customers. Jobs, the Gordon Gecko of computers, laughs out loud all the way to the bank.
Now Jobs KNOWS he could shrink-wrap his feces, pay off every magazine and almost every website in existence with tons of ad buys to secure great press and great reviews, and the marks will be lining up to buy it because "It's cool" "It's mobile" "Costs less than a computer!" and most importantly of all, "Steve made it, Dude."
Only Jobs could return the world back prior to the days of multitasking and flash, copy existing products, and be lauded a visionary.
Cutting-edge innovation means nothing compared to success at selling iGarbage.
Computers and users actually creating content? SO over, Dude.
