With all due respect, even if Apple (or any other company) introduced a machine that floated in midair it'd be difficult to talk for more than five to ten minutes on it. Think about it:
"This is our new machine. As you can see it floats. In the air. Without Wires. Or, uh, anything. Did I mention it floats?..... Okay, moving on."
Heck, look at the iPhone which had a LOT of time dedicated to it when it was introduced. How much of that time was on the design and hardware? Ten minutes, maybe fifteen TOPS? In that case it was Big, gorgeous screen. Touch Enabled. Now let's SHOW you how this works by going through the software.
Hardware enables software and that's about it. Anything more than about ten minutes describing a single machine and you get down to the exact layout of the internal cable runs and your audience dies of boredom.
why? It's been what everyone said it would be. New iMacs.
iLife08 was less certain, but now they've announced it do you expect them to not show it off?
Nope. Dual core, hence the name Core 2 Extreme.
So by your reckoning the Core 2 Quad is also dual core because it contains 2 in the title. Go to intel.com, read the C2Es available and realise Core 2 is like Pentium 2 and refers to the family of processors.
Although, at 2.4GHz, it does look likely to be the regular C2D from the MBP.
But the aluminum and the glass, I'm sure, are more expensive than the plastic the iMac use to be made of.
I'm totally jumping on the old discounted (hopefully) 20" iMac. At the mo, this just seems all a bit cosmetic
Because Leopard isn't released yet. And there are still bugs in it which could mess up his presentation... Jobs hates that...
notice the graph icon?
never seen it before and it's right beside the iwork icons... spreadsheet app?

10GB... with the smallest mac coming with a 100GB drive I think it's still kinda skimpy unless the storage upgrades are now 20GB/$50 year.
Exactly.
The only problem I have against the new Apple keyboards is that the bottom row of buttons look cramped versus the current keyboard.
Beyond that, I love it.
really, i think i might cry if there's not something really great soon....
i've seen nothing so far to get excited about. a "new" iMac with a mandatory glossy screen, an ugly keyboard with no number pad, and a whole bunch of .Mac BS.
really, i'm irritated with this. and i'm as big of an apple fan as anyone, short of being a "fanboi". ugh.

Which stinks... They should allow you to do those things with any website. I already pay for web space and have more than they give. All I want to do is link my Mac stuff to it.
