That I don't know. Why is it pertinent to the subject? If anything it's a little insulting to ask that question.

Apologies if you're insulted; I'm not trying to offend you (or your friends).

I just ask because unless the 10 people are running licensed copies of the Adobe software they're using, they contributed $0.00 to Adobe's bottom line and thus don't even count as part of Adobe's installed user base in their eyes.

Very pertinent to the subject of how much Apple versions of Adobe software contribute to both company's well beings, if you ask me.

lawl, what I meant was, until there are comparative alternatives, without apps like Photoshop and illustrator, Apple would lose a vast portion of it's base.

Sort of goes without saying tbh.

Actually it's the other way around...Adobe wouldn't even exist without Apple and the desktop publishing revolution sparked by the Cupertino company (via the Mac, the LaserWriter and the WYSIWYG paradigm)...this alone should constitute enough reason for Adobe to support Macs for at least 100 more years...:rolleyes:

In today's business world those things count nothing at all. Sad but true.

Anyway, I don't think Adobe will drop Apple anytime soon since many of their paying customers use this platform.
 
Hey there!

First of all,this is my first post, so i just wanted to thank you all for making this "Macommunity" so great :) Here's my doubt:

That would make some kind of sense. Germany is GMT +1 while California is GMT -7 so there is an 8 hour difference between the two. Translated it means that if the event is scheduled for 1630 in Germany that would be 830 in California. Put another way just after breakfest in CA and just before dinner in Germany.

Darn. That's about the time I leave for work. So I'll be on the road with a 45 min. commute time which means I'll likely miss everything as it happens--assuming someone's going to be covering it live on MR as has been done in the past. I guess I'll just have to read everything after the fact and hope for the best that C2D MBP's become available.

Thanks buddies! weird time though... :p
 
hmm, its been quiet in this camp. *ponders* gah... Im just gonna be finishing college, and then im at work till 1:30am. bah!!
 
just to clarify the time thing, the correct time differences are:

Cologne, Germany = GMT +1
USA East Coast (New York - Eastern Daylight Time) = GMT -5
USA West Coast (San Francisco - Pacific Daylight Time) = GMT -8

so if this event is really happening at 16:30 in Cologne, then its at 10:30AM EDT and 7:30AM PDT.

I'm the party that posted 1630 hours local - it may have been 1730 local - I can't find the original thread where I saw the time announcement - but 0730 or 0830 PDT is close.

Now that there has been the "enhanced" iPod, unlikely to have anything exciting on the iPod front then..

Is it in German or English? :confused:
 
Anyone have news on the event, or did I get my timing totally off? By my watch, it should have started about 8 minutes ago...

You missed it. They released iTV and G5 laptops!

Isn't it a two-plus hour event though? The first 30 mins might be nothing but some boring introductions.
