So tuesday then?
Another tigerless weekend...

P.S. Ironically, could you ever imagine this kind of anticipation for longhorn? Noone is going to care. Ah, Steve Jobs, look at what you have created.

 

[leftbanke7]

Eh, I'm taking a nap. Whatever happens happens and as long as I'm asleep, nothing should happen to me...I hope *looks around suspiciously*

 

[easymac800g4]

Stop crying, will you...



Edit:

And that goes for you, too...

But im all alone!
AND SURROUNDED BY WINDOWS!

 

[drewyboy]

Smokers anyone??

I was just wondering with all this stress and all if there are any smokers out there that due to this news lately if it has increased your cigarret purchases??

 

[JJTiger1]

chill guys.

it's not even 8am cupertino time...
dont they usually announce things at 9am pacific?

Security Updaters are usually released after lunch.

Mac OS incremental updaters are usually released after the 9:00 am staff meeting.

Steve usually makes the announcements for a new Mac OS, and he likes to be "on camera" for that announcement, and he likes to make those announcements before the closing bell on Wall Street.

You can make your own conclusions.

... local "moldy-oldies" station is now "Rap" complete with "Rap" station identification hype, was "Latino".

Nothing is going to happen today. Even though it's still early in Cupertino, everyone in the US, don't forget it's already evening/night in most of the rest of the world, on a Friday no less. So an announcement sometime later today just doesn't make sense as most of the world (unless they are hardcore mac addicts) won't learn about the announcement until Monday.

 

[NevadaJack]

9am pacific is in an hour and couple minutes. im central and it's two hours earlier pacific from me and its only 9:59
P.S. what is cupertino time??

"cupertino time" is any time Steve Job's decides to announce Tiger...

 

[Damien]

Havent they annocend OS updates on friday at 6pm?

 

[feeze]

Wow it's been a while since I have been in here. Hope that the Tiger announcement isn't another hoax, after what Disko pulled at appletalk.com.au I don't think I can take another April fools joke.

Well I just bought 40 (2 x 20 packs - £9 !!!!!!!!)

Thought this is largely to do with the fact I have a date tonight i'm abit nervous about and this Tiger release is not helping. Come on Apple if it's ready then release it already!

 

[puckhead193]

I defragged one of our Windows machines and it deleted half of the Quickbooks software and I have people whining at me.

I may start smoking again...unless Tiger is announced.

i just hope you brush your teeth before your date, one of the biggest turn off apparently is cigarette smoke. unless shes a smoker.

I dont think anything is going to happen today. and not because times pressing on, but because it just dosnt feel right. besides wont Apple be having a party today? ooo imagine a drunk Steve announcing Tiger

 

[Some_Big_Spoon]

Um, ok.. so where is it?

 

[JJTiger1]

Well, it didn't happen at 9:00 AM Cupertino time.

Gimmie a break

C'mon guys, it's still 9:10 here in lower California, you can't make it official until about 2 in the afternoon, have some hope.

What the hell is defragging?
Sounds like something my girlfriend does in the bathroom.

 

[iGary]

It is some stupid $%^&* you have to do to Windows in order to make it freaking work.

I HATE PC's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry, you can't do such and such.

I'm sorry, no such file exists.

I'm sorry, you'll have to restart.

Not to get OT, but why do people put up with this crap?!

... FREE APPLE COMPUTERS FOR EVERYONE WHEN YOU BUY TIGER!...

Apple announces the new Mac shuffle. It's only $99, runs on flash memory, and runs a randomly selected application when you click the button. There is no screen to see the output, nor any keyboard - but it does have a two-button mouse. Or, rather, it IS a two-button mouse.

It's a Quake thing...

Damn them. All day I've waited! I bet someone in Cupertino thought it would be hilarious to "leak" this a couple of weeks ago...

LOL!!!

Niiiiice............ Spoken like a true Mac lover.

 

[Bro]

rumors that Mac OS X Tiger will be announced today have not changed.

Reminds me of Linus telling everyone that the Great Pumpkin will be flying through the air tonight to bring toys to all the believing children.
