Live Coverage of Apple's 'Hello Again' Mac Event

[Fall Under Cerulean Kites]

Anyone have a Torrent where I can d/l the new pshop?

 

[guzhogi]

Is it me, or are these people way too excited about the touch bar?

"Circle" is too un-Apple. It'll be Touch Sphere.

"Magic Touch Sphere"

Aka Britney Spears - Baby Hit Me One More Time...

Hahaha I knew I've seen that outfit before!!

 

[maflynn]

The touch bar might be a better solution than the MS dial thing they debuted yesterday. Nothing to pick up, set down, lose. Although, haptic feedback would be nice.

But its only on MBPs, nothing else

I saw a better 'Touch Bar' yesterday. It was 27 inches across and could fit ALL of Photoshop on it.

She looks like she is going to be in a porno after the presentation... Not complaining, though.

Skirts too long for a porn star.

 

[Alchemist]

Colour adjustment with the touch bar is a million miles less intuitive than the surface dial. I feel for this girl.

This from a Mac Plus owner.

You'd rather crimp your hands and fingers into a tiny strip of touch-sensitive keys awkwardly placed between the keyboard and screen?

Worse. Since the bar changes based on context you would have to keep refocusing your eyes. Suppose you're working on the top right of the screen and now want to press F2 and F5 for some function (or look to one of the customized things). You will have to inevitably check the bar, see the position, move you hand, refocus on the top right of the screen and then move back your hand.

Touch bar is sooooo stupid. When U use it, U have to shift your head up down up down

Yeah, looks like she is in a weird hipster/porno costume.

 

[spiritlevel]

lol - Not Logic?

 

[darkandlong]

This touchbar is going to be remembered many years from now as being the moment it all went south.

I don't get it at all. I honestly can't understand how it was even a possibility, let alone part of a product. it's like something you'd see on a laptop made by a company you've never heard of in a Bangkok mall.

 

[Traverse]

Enough demos. They all show the same thing. GET TO THE DESKTOPS!

 

[jdillings]

A third demo....zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[amirite]

You guys are ridiculous. Does no one here see the potential in this thing? Jesus christ you must be some unhappy people.

 

[el-John-o]

Here comes the dongles...

When that LG display was announced my heart sank. I had hoped to upgrade my aging Apple Cinema Display (the model just before the launch of the Thunderbolt display). "Buy this other guys product" is a pretty clear message implying "'cuz we're getting out of that product line now".

I'm sure the LG, or a Samsung, or other display is just fine. But I just loved the way the Apple displays looked. Oh well.

I guess I'll echo the others. Underwhelming. Apple announces a 2015 spec'ed laptop in October of 2016.

 

[Grohowiak]

Is this a total BS, or we are too spoiled?

I think they believe you are stupid since they call this "PRO" and want you to buy it.
Slows down workflow so badly.

 

[Soni Sanjay]

ANOTHER DEMO? STOP!

 

[kjm18]

And another demo, come on Apple want more hardware

 

[Ries]

Enough demo's we get how it works...

 

[Feenician]

The MacBook Pro is awesome, but it's a year behind...

A year behind what?

 

[Fall Under Cerulean Kites]

But its only on MBPs, nothing else

Wait for the new Magic Keyboard w/ TouchBar built in.
