...Steve’s Keynote in the next 2 hours is probably going to be the most important that he will ever make in his career. I’m really not trying to play this up.. Steve’s RDF has to be at 120% strength.
(Maybe reroute main warp power through the RDF conduits and bypass the safeguards. Yes I know you shouldn’t dump that much raw power into a RDF but desperate times calls for desperate measures.)...

LOL! that cracked me up. Certainly gave me a much needed break from gnawing my hand off in anticipation.

Is there any way of WATCHING the keynote? Preferably live, but if not will the keynote be posted after it has finished...I MIGHT be able to keep myslef from the live site (which btw looks incredibly cool) if i had the prospect of wathcing the keynote "live" (as far as I was concerned)
:confused:
 
I am hoping this means something:

.Mac will be undergoing scheduled maintenance from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM PST on Monday, June 6th. During this time iDisk will be intermittently unavailable. We apologize for the inconvenience.

We will see. We will see. Maybe Apple is making the iToaster and wants dual core Pentium 4's for the heating element. :D

Hehe, I don't get all the talk about switching to Intel for better heating (lack there of) and thus allowing smaller and thinner notebooks. Look at the market, is there a sub 1.5 or perhaps even 2" PC notebook out there that has decent specs and not a low-voltage 1.1Ghz Centrino? I haven't seen one (of course I don't really look at that crap) but if it exists for curiousity sake please show me.

I don't understand how switching to Intel will lower heat issues, unless we get lower clocks which defeats the purpose of switching to attain the higher clock figures that SJ wants to sell, since mindless baphoons (sp?) purchase the most GHz they can find, regardless of quality and performance. The best idea for M$ would be to realease a 5.6Ghz Celeron....sales would soar!! and performance would still be bested by a 1.4Ghz PIII :p or something like that....
 
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

i cant believe this- i have to leave for the airport at 11 50 central (10 minutes before Jobs takes the stage)- im going to miss the entire thing!! and there's absolutely no hope of catching a word of it anywhere all day.

I could live with that if it wasnt for the magnitude of the rumors the last couple days


what have i done to deserve such a fate? :confused: :(

at least you don't have to hear, if there is any, bad news :confused: :confused: :confused: (intel only 50 mins left)
 
Didn't your mother teach you to share?

Did I miss something? .Wasn't Sun supposed to have a big announcement for the beginning of June?

Sun launched a new marketing campaign focusing on "sharing ". The idea to take away from this subtle idea is "the network is the computer!" Notice the wave logo which is taken from the new "wave" of internet coming. From suns perspective this can be demonstrated with Java and now Open Solaris.

Why is this relevant? The direction of technology in the coming years is to inegrate and connect digital devices via internet services. Expect Apple to offer their variation on this theme today. My money is that the Intel issue will play directly to this idea of sharing and how the underlying technologies of OS X will allow Apple to achieve this. iTunes phone for example, and perhaps a new wireless device. These things will somehow tie into Intel and their wireless technologies.

I should add that Apple's Xgrid also demonstrates this idea and direction. The ability to take all your Apple computers on a network and turn them into a super computer is an example of the basic idea. Now imagine all digital devices from cell phones, PDAs, computers, cars, iPods, ect. as one big computer. Sharing.

Only an hour to go.
 
What makes the wait more painful is that Steve is not going to come right out with it at the begining, its going to be at least an hour into it before we know anything
 
The new live coverage site looks great. A big kudos to the team at macrumors, you're the best! I am really looking forward to this event. :D

right, he'll probably start out by saying stuff about the success of Tiger and how the iMac is doing.

There are plenty, if you bothered to look. The Pentium M pretty much trounces the G4.

I'm not going to bother to search for you, but it shouldn't be hard to find some models with comparable specs as the PowerBooks. Apple's engineering should improve on existing Pentium M notebooks at any rate.

For those of you looking for the RDF, it seems to be in full effect here. I really don't understand all this dark side talk, I thought the dark side was MS and didn't realize it included every company even associated with Windows. It's one thing if you are complaining about Intel x86 based on certain technical issues, it's another to based on extremely nebulous moral judgements. Has Intel actually done anything that evil? It's not hard to drum up plenty of stories about MS's anti-consumer practices, but Intel? What about AMD? OR maybe it's x86 itself that has wronged you somehow?

'Think Different' is just a marketing slogan. Apple's goal is not to be different for different's sake, its to produce great products. And if that necessitates switching to a different CPU, I'm all for it.
 
wow, I just used dashboard for the second time (that I actually needed it), this time it was to convert the PST to EST using the world clock widget. Neato.

So about 45 more minutes, people!

Not more painful, more exciting! If you know what is in the box, what fun is Xmas? Regardless if you like whats inside or not, the days before and the moments leading up to the unveiling of whats inside are suspensful and exciting. I am hoping for bad news so I can be pleasantly surprized by good news.....hopefully :confused:
 
40 minutes people.....*bounces around the room* I think I'm going to nab some lunch downstairs while I kill the remaining time. A MS office is 4 floors above me. Wonder if I'm going to see any of them downstairs.....heheh
 
I think apple will not switch from IBM for the reason that IBM is making the CPU's for all the next gen consoles so they have to be able to make enough chips for all the next gen consoles.

Do a google search for WWDC, the 6th result you get is "Apple - QuickTime - Macworld San Francisco 2005 Expo Keynote"

So could it be a live stream after all?

This link is playing something now - But an hour too early :(

Looks like its playing MacWorld 2005

:confused:
Yes because that is MACWORLD 2005. Macworld from January 2005. This is Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference. It will doubtlessly be on quicktime sometime this evening or tomorrow morning though.
 
.mac

the .Mac site has a note that it will be down today between 10:00am and 12:00 pm for scheduled maintenance. could be nothing but closing iDisk on a monday morning?
