It's Hackintosh for me now.

Um...so OSX has turned into a steaming pile of drippings from Timmy's innovation pipeline, and your answer is to build a hackintosh? It's a gaming laptop for me, and the best part will be no Apple software anywhere near it.
 
All I want is Dark Mode, Siri API and Apple Music redesign. The rest is icing.
WE better get a real dark mode I am so Effing sick of this white on white on gray BS we have to deal with. hate it so much... GUI looks cheaper now... omg... so lame..... better be able to darken it properly...
 
Given the absurd length of time since the last update, you'd at least expect a hint at something "later this summer/year". I can't imagine they would lose many sales on machines last updated well of a year ago for the MBP (a long time for a laptop) and 2.5 years ago for the Mac Pro.

Indeed, at this point, we're lucky the Mac Pro wasn't dropped for the new macOS!

I was hoping for mention of new MBsP, but the older Dell 2-in-1 machine at 1/3 the price is looking better every day.
 
No screen shot for the Hardware Requirements for Sierra? It flashed for a second on the big screen. Wonder what they are?
 
Apple's equipment is by and large so antiquated that most of it would only be of interest to an archeologist.
When the ***k are we going to see updates, TIM!

I can live the fact no hardware was introduced but sitting through 30m of iMessages demos and talk was extremely painful. Apple lacks too many things and they have to fill the time with stupid demos of ordinary features. That's very sad.

I guess if iMessage is what holds so many within the iOS ecosystem (as per many posts on this forum) it makes sense that they would want to augment it as much as possible.
 
People who are moaning need to realise that WWDC is not for the average consumer but developers, there was never a guarantee that we would get any hardware.

Lets say you're right. It is for the developers. My questions is then, why is they keynote 90% Apple apps and 10% new API's, in which the API's almost just are bylines?

Two years is a long time to be on standby waiting for a computer to give up the ghost. Have fun with that!

2 years is just my estimation. It's a 5 year old computer and I'm having the HDD replaced right now which should give me a few more years before my processor and GPU aren't strong enough anymore. Might just have to stop upgrading the software if they keep dumbing it down.
