Sweet Jesus, did this really just happen? Did you try and correct his accurate spelling of grammar?
What makes you think Apple could possibly change their product timeline in two weeks? What makes you think they don't have a damned good reason for not updating yet, such as waiting on a supplier of retina displays? Why do you even want an iMac as a developer? Macbook Pros and Mac Pros make much more practical development machines. Finally, as a developer you shouldn't care at all what machine Apple offers you, you should care about how well they are providing a market for your software -- something they are doing a damn good job of as they are gaining more and more market share. The arrogance of it all just hurts my brain.
So apparently my joke was FAR too subtle for the likes of you Einstein's.
good try to laugh it off!
If you think APPLE is going to move up their product-release date because of your little tantrum, you are sadly mistaken!
"Old technology" is a bit of a stretch; a fully spec'd out 27" Quad Core i7 iMac with 8 or 16GB of RAM and a 256GB Solid State Drive in addition to a 2TB HD plus 2GB of Video memory is still a PRETTY GOOD machine! However, if you want a better computer than that, you'll just have to sit tight until the new iMac's or MacPro's are released.
Well put!
Precisely. Their product release cycles are carefully timed with component supplies, market conditions, etc. And who knows what they're going to put in the next iMac or what component is causing the hold-up. APPLE is not a company known for releasing products just for the sake of a new(er) model. They usually wait until they can introduce genuinely better products.

No apostrophe - should be "Einsteins".
Is a plural not a possessive pronoun.
What I don't get is that people here are going on and on about the iMacs being held up for some reason. Reading between the lines of the news and rumors as far back as April, I've been expecting the next iMac update to be mid to late October. So as far as I see, there hasn't been any delay. Yet. I'll even predict it'll be on or around October 23rd.
It'll likely be an evolutionary update - no Retina displays, everything else brought up to state of the art. Optical drive still in place, although I think Apple will remain stubborn for one more generation and not upgrade it to a Blu-ray.
Now, if November rolls around and we haven't seen an iMac update, then people might start asking what the delay is.

Stop defending this company. No so-called computer company should fail to release a desktop computer for over 400 days. It's inexcusable and they are deserving of harsh criticism.
Silly Apple fanboys. A computer company that doesn't release computers is somehow, what, above any possible criticism?
they release more products related to computing (from the best available software to the best available hardware) than any other company.
They still don't get it.....unbelievable.
Turkeys on Christmas eve being herded into a van marked 'Abattoir' and all shouting 'see, I told you they would take us out for a nice Xmas celebration and presents' are more in tune with the zeitgeist.
I for one can certainly tell which way the wind's blowing and it's not a pleasant odour.....
It must be blowing up from your backside...
(Seriuosly, why would you want Apple to rush an unfinished product to market? The same people complaining about the lack of an update, will be the first ones complaining about the product quality... It's farcical!)
No they freaking don't. When was the last time Apple came out with a desktop? When was the last time they came out with a desktop for professionals? They make consumer computing toys. Phones, MP3 devices and tablets. I acknowledge that if you only need a laptop, Apple is a company you can stick with. But if you need a desktop, there's really no excuse for sticking with them unless you're completely tied to OSX.

Rush an unfinished product? They need 400 days to finish an all-in-one? That right there lets you know that they are not serious about their desktops.
If you think the iMac is out of date, check out what Dell, HP, etc. are producing. Sure they have high-end Ivy Bridge models but they are still shifting plenty of models that are completely out of date by Apple's standards, using much older hardware than the 2011 iMac's.

Silly fanboyism. If you can't see the validity of criticizing a computer company for not releasing a desktop computer for over 400 days, then you have problems.
