I hope the rumor about running windows apps native on intel macs is true. Half life 2 here i come... :rolleyes:

Apple has said they won't stop you--or help you. You'll be on your own for help on installing Windows (but I'm sure info will pop up on the web very quickly, if any special tricks are called for). And you'll need to buy a copy of Windows. (Darwine looks interesting--but limited, and not ready for prime time yet.)

For myself, I don't want Windows making my Mac less secure, so I won't be booting Windows. I may, however, run Windows in its own safe sandbox alongside OS X--using Virtual PC or the like. I'm sure such options will be coming.

what ticks me off is - no more Classic. not that I use any apps that run in Classic anymore, but I do play Classic games from time to time. hey, a Mac gamer's got to get his jollies where he can find em right? so losing that is not so good. so I guess I'll have to hang on to my G5 forevermore, just so I can play Carmageddon II "one last time".

I'll be keeping an older Mac for the same reason (Descent 3!)--but it wouldn't shock me if someday some developer comes up with an unofficial way to get Classic running in Rosetta--especially if Rosetta has gained AltiVec compatibility.
 
a plasma ? what for ?

How many of us, a week ago, would have stated that what they REALLY need and expect from the maker of the Powerbook and the Ipod Nano is a 50" plasma monitor to hang in their living room ????

Not me at least, I remember some cool packaging for the Mac (2oth anniversary or Cube) and remember also that I was pretty happy not to have taken a mortgage to buy those, since they would join my Newton in the attic... alongside my IIvx (remember that one ?)

On the other hand, I don't find any good excuse anymore to go to the Mac Store lately since they keep on telling me that there is no replacement for my 12" PB... and God knows if I REALLY would like to see this coming:D :D

Apple: Power (to sell what they don't need) to the People ?

I love the Pussycat Dolls!!!! They are one of my favorite girl bands. This is awesome stuff!! OMG! The itching has spread from my belly button to my thighs! Only a Stevenote can cure this ailment.


Here's to the Crazy Ones ​
 
I make a bet :

- iBook with Intel a new design ( with two different colors http://www.dicofr.com/chronologie/image/1999-ibook.jpglike the first ones ) and without the white color
- iLife '06 with a new Garageband and with iWeb ( I hope it won't be a "nVu-lik" stuff but a kinda drag'n'drog software like Dreamweaver)
- iMac Mini
- More informations about Mac Os 10.5 X
- A "wished to be true" : an iPod-PDA by Apple. Come on guys the Newton was great and you have the technology to make tiny screens. PDA are getting more and more popular....

In WWDC June : The new professionnal line Intel Driven computers
In Paris : New Powerbooks - First Live Demo of 10.5

Just one thing : I hope we won't be disappointed by the MWSF because, last time the announcements in Paris '05 were not very "new and full of surprises", and i hope it won't be just a : "Hello we are refreshing the iTMS page, you have more .Mac space or we have sold xxxx songs this year":D

There appears to be a lot of inconsistencies with the iTMS tonight.

Seems there is a lot of last minute updating going on.

I expect major announcements regarding the iTMS, movies.
 
One more Vingle : Nordstoga ;-)
Search for "vingle" in itunes

What is this?
possible shuffle replacement?

Concepts done by Frog Design or some previous Apple Designer IIRC, I think these were featured on Wired or CNET a year or so back.

In other words, an irrelevant attempt to get some attention :cool:
 
Intel Macbook? Gonna take a while to get used to saying that. Will the iPod with an FM transmitter keep the same form factor as the current iPod?

It's actually a cheap clear hard plastic case from Hong Kong with a lanyard attached permanently at the top. There's plenty to be bought on eBay.

The original prediction says receiver, but I don't see why it can't both receive fm radio and transmit to fm radios. A tranceiver you could call it then I guess. And seeing as FM bugs can be small enough to hide in your ear I don't see why the form factor can't be the same :)
 
order 2moro.....

Gee i like that, either some 1 has really thought out how to hoax well or this finally sounds kinda convincing. However the fm transmitter should be built in maybe = unconvincing. Please powerbook update to replace my 01' iBook, thats all i want, i will be so happy....and in a white platinum shell would be superb
 
Anyone seen this picture which apparently shows a new version of the powermac which is much smaller???

After looking at it longer I think they are hard drives that are styled to look like a powermac
