Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard), iLife '07, and iWork '07 in March?

Meh,

I doubt the NAB show appearance has squat to do with Leopard in that case!

I want garbage collection in Objective-C darn it!

MadDoc,

imho Leopard has a LOT to do with digital technology and *gasp* HDTV's

As a matter of fact I'm going out on a limb and predicting right now that Apple will be introducing HDTV's and other types of "Living Room" electronic gadgets.

I've been way off before though so :)
 
No offence taken. I just wish the UK would embrace HDTV like the states is doing :cool:

MadDoc,

Sure... Leave it to Apple to ignore standard math and come up with 1=0, 1+1=1, and 2+1=2, and so on.

Sounds like college math all over again. 1=1 unless x+1=Apple.

I guess they like to think different :rolleyes:

Maybe I'll try that one with my wife. Tell her, I didn't forget. It's just the way I do math. You'll see. I'll get you a gift on the date that I mathematically calculate to be our anniversary. Thinking that 1=1 is so yesterday. Get over it. Slap :mad:

For all the conspiracy freaks out there.

A couple of weeks ago I posted info that Apple had a huge presence at this years NAB show in April.I found this out by going to Apple's website and looking at their list of upcoming events.Apple had the link to the NAB show there.It has been removed from the site.

If one goes to the NAB Show website and look at the exhibitors list Apple is no longer listed like it was when I visited that site a couple weeks ago,however if you dig deeper and look at the floorplan Apple is shown now with one VERY LARGE booth.It measures 160'X160'..

It makes me wonder exactly why Apple removed the NAB show listing from their upcoming events page and why the NAB removed Apple from the official list even though Apple is on the floorplan.


Something BIG is on it's way.
It's just one Mac freak's opinion but watch out for late March early April!!

ehm, when I look at apples website I do see NAB listed:

Their booth is indeed very large, the biggest of all booth at NAB...
 
I hope its released soon. I just unwrapped the trial version of '06 that came with my MacBook and I'm liking Pages a lot. I had a quick trick about with keynote and it also looks very good (but I have limited use for it at the moment). A spreadsheet would be great.

Unfortunately I only have 26 days left on the trial and I'm not buying '06 with '07 so close :( .
 
30th anniversary

I think I read somewhere that Apples considers the first year as year zero, so year 31 would be year 30th. I guess it comes from all the programming where array subscripts start with 0 and not 1. LOL

Year 1 is year 0, that is, if you follow the way we look at people's ages. When you are born, you are not considered to be a 1-year old (unless you're in Korea or some other country that looks at it that way...Turkey does too, I think). Up until your 1st b-day you are in your 1st year of life, but you are not 1 until your 1st b-day. Then you are 1 until your next b-day.

So, if you were born on April 1, 1976, then you would have turned 30 on April 1, 2006 and you would be 30 until April 1, 2007. Following that logic, there is some time left yet. And I am sure that you'd be glad to get a b-day present belatedly, especially if it were a nice mac loaded with tons of fun stuff!!!

[this is what gets me to join MR! :D ...well, this is an area where I can actually add something to the conversation. Glad to join the fun!!!!!]

My wife is in the same boat, and she keeps asking me when she can buy Pages.

However, she hasn't quit Pages is several weeks, and the program continues to work... even though her "trial" has been over for at least a fortnight. So I told her not to quit or shut down or run any software updates until iwork '07 comes out. Impossible on a PC, easy on a Mac :apple: :apple: :apple:

I found out a way to have the trial go on forever: delete the preferences! That resets the trial to whatever it is (30 days?). Don't know if this is legal, but definitely possible.

Does that work through sleep? I'm on a MacBook and I need to be portable.

deleting the preferences is possible, but I've a lot of custom styles/templates already, and I'd hate to have to redo them all.
 
I'm sick of waiting! I'm checking the MacRumors homepage at least 10-15 times a day; and Apple's website another 5-7 times, hoping for some news, a bit of light or something...but no, it's iPhone all over.
I think ThinkSecret is full of it.
 
Meh. I'm not a gamer, so the possibility of gaming on the :apple:TV, while interesting on a purely technical basis, is of little practical value to me.

And without actual PVR capabilities, I think the :apple:TV will be a major disappointment to many of those who actually buy it, and a flop as far as overall sales go.
 
June 12-deal with it...
Large problems to deal with in just 3 months.
Oh, and BTW...we will see a 10.4.10...

10.4.9 should be released while you are reading this....

once more :apple: TV is not ment to be a stand alone product, it is ment to work with a "main" computer, a "digital hub" the :apple: TV only job is to get the information to your TV from your main Computer; Now that said i thnk some of you guys are forgeting the mini, this little machine fits great in the livingroom plug it upto a 50" HDTV, add a wireless KB and mouse, stak it onto a 500GB HD (more if you like) and an 8211n wireless router and that alone its a great little media center. now just for ***** and giggles lets say it gets a TV tuner and elgato software (they have some TV tuner adaptors the size of flash drives) and a better Video card...

then get more games (casual gaming style games for now) into the iTMS, and te final development of cider in to the computer game industry....

its coming... the question is ... when?
