Macbooks Tuesday, May 9?

I wonder if this special edition iPod will come in "RED"? I wonder if I can pay full price to have all of the old Chilipeppers Music put on there for me by Apple?

Sorry, Off topic, but I´m listening to the new album now (thanks to pre ordering) sounds great so far. Got 28 songs on it:eek: So I´m not even half way yet
 
I'm excited but check this

I'm happy about the new chili peppers pod. I love the RHCP and there new single is pretty good. What I cannot believe is that in this time when i-pod lovers everywhere should be celebrating, these fools at heavy.com have gone and made a stupid video lambasting the i-pod.

check this nonsense out. Makes me kind of angry and also kind of sad for those people at heavy. Must be hard to sleep at night after you've made a cartoon that lambasts the i-pod when your wearing one yourself. those fools.:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
 
Yea well I hope they dont have integrated graphics.... or else it's MBP for me... or I'll just game on my monster windows based PC lol
 
wow this camel is really trustworthy:D and those specs, wow after 124topics on macbook and 35235235posts how could he possibly know?? he's an insider for sure.

In fact that Apple don't give the public info for their upcoming products, might that hurt Apple? Like the consuments aren't ready for it and they loose marketparts?

Sure it is fun and can be exciting, but is it worth it for badder sales? :confused:

I think it does hurt them some primarily in regards to corporate sales. But I remember reading somewhere steve jobs told an employee that corporate sales were not the companies focus or something similar. It probably affects their consumer sales a little bit too.

We must be going from different posts then; I thought he was still gunning for the Macbook.

C'est la vie? Sure. That's what Applecare's for. Apple's offerings don't end with the products themselves, but also includes the promise of great service, right? Shouldn't said promise also imply that when one does get a new bad apple (pun so intended :D) the badness will be corrected or the new apple replaced? I hope your four trips didn't happen in the same period, that they weren't for the same thing, that your ibook's working great for you now. It should considering that even the "consumer-level" ibooks still go for a premium. I myself spent $2700 (and this is just the machine here; no applecare, no taxes, etc.) on a machine that was trouble-free until it hit the 6-month mark. First the hard drive was replaced, then the hard drive cable. Now it's looking like the motherboard's next on the block (MLB=main logic board, right?). I've had problems with laptops before, but not like this--and the Warranty/Applecare/Genius Bar solution is just to send it back for more of the same--because "it's almost a year old."

Perhaps a PC wouldn't be "magically" better, but neither would such a switch be "suicide". I'll be the first to admit, however, that such a purchase entails a steady leak in one's hipness reservoir...which one could always address with the newest, sleekest iPod. :p

Speaking of which, as much as I would love to see the new macbook tomorrow, wouldn't it make more sense for ipod stores to have a new ipod (and nothing else) to coincide with the whole Red Hot Chili Peppers thing? A concurrent macbook release may end up diluting whatever buzz they were otherwise hoping to generate. If that were the case...well that'd be another thread now, wouldn't it?:D

i think its actually funny, i just though about it today when i looked around.
while noone at first ever knew apple, i saw atleast 8 of of 10 people with mp3 players, with those white apple earplugs... its so hyped and a trend just to wear an ipod. My bet is that in the future steve applies brainwashing devices inside all earplugs and make us and the world buy even more!!!
 
almost there...

I think this will be 993, come on 1000!

How about they do ALL of it tommorow.
New MacBooks to order
17" PowerBooks to show off
RHCP iPod

:D

you do realize that 1000 posts wont mean anything to apple. it's gonna come out when its ready (hopefully tomorrow), not when a thread on a website reaches 1000 posts.

Thanks to WildCowboy..Don't know how to link to his post..But..

http://www.seminars.apple.com/cgi-b...ation.woa/wa/eventDetails?eventId=42695&s=300
This was a seminar in APRIL..Exact same wording..
This stuff is not new..
Click to expand...

Damn,

Anyway, it did seem strange, that Apple, hiding it's new products so secretly would commit shuch a mistake.


So, the fact that after two days they will be speaking about old PowerPC iBooks mean no Macbooks tomorrow

EDITED: Did you notice, that none of the seminars after 10th of may contain the keyword "iBook"?

Alright, maybe the excitement could be something positive for the sales. It's quite cool, then it seems like Steve Jobs want great products and not just the money or can that be true?
 
lets make 1000 than this rumor is true
what can we talk about? how about make a new topic about the new macbook release date and start all over again! woohoo
or.... what specs would the macbook have???
:rolleyes:

Bull ****. The MacBooks aren't gonna have integrated graphics. I'll put $1000 on that.

With the Intel processors costing a LOT more than G4s, Apple have to cut corners. If Intel do them a deal, Apple will be more than happy to slap some GMA950s in the new MacBooks. However, it could be argued that the GMA950s have trouble even outpacing the Radeon 9200 that was in the previous Mac Minis.

I'm 95% sure Apple will use GMA950s. Before next year, hopefully Apple will push out Rev. B Mac Minis and MacBooks which *fingers crossed* will sport G965s which have Shader Model 3.0 and supports up to 256MB of memory (ok, so that memory is stolen from system RAM, but nevermind). G965s won't outperform an X1300 but should be an improvement on X300s.

Posts talking about the '1000' posts 'makes it true' theory aren't counted towards the total. So i'd say we have at least another 50 posts or so to go yet.

Actually these sort of posts normally get deleted by mods for being off topic.

(This post does not count towards the magic 1000)

Every post is worth 1 post, even if it is a little bit off topic :rolleyes:
