Macworld Rage Thread

How can people be enraged over a keynote?!? :confused:

So, some technology you were hoping to be released today wasn't released. Oh my, horror of horrors. Such a tough life some people have.... :rolleyes:

Plus, Apple has a history of releasing hardware updates soon after major events so it wouldn't surprise me in the least if there are Mac mini, iMac and Apple TV updates announced in the nest few weeks...

It's easy - just get all riled about it!

People plan their buying decisions around Macworld - so when ageing hardware that's well over due for a refresh ISN'T refreshed, everyone (who is sensible or can't wait) has to sit on their hands and wait for the next announcement. The worst part, is due to their new 'Apple Surprise' method of announcing products, consumers will start tasting some bad Apple CRUMBLE.
 
Yeah, i am pretty frustrated that Apple didn't do any of the below:

1- No new iMac
2- No new Mac Mini
3- No new Apple TV
4- No new Mac Pro
5- No new line - Mid Range Power Mac mid sized Tower
6- No Blu-Ray
7- No new LCD monitors

People paying attention to MacWorlds probably would have noticed that the last two (2007, 2008) had ZERO hardware updates and hopefully planned their buying decisions accordingly.

Aging hardware that was updated at 2008 MacWorld: none
(Office 2008, Time Capsule, iPhone update, AppleTV update, MacBook Air)

Aging hardware that was updated at 2007 MacWorld: none
(AppleTV, iPhone)
 
And now we know why Apple had to stop doing MacWorld. Apple didn't kill the expo, it was the people who demanded that they change their world every January who killed it.
 
Macmini update, hopefully, will come in late january early feb to coincide with ilife. I am eager to get ilife but am looking to get a mini as well. I will wait until the mini comes out before getting ilife.

By then, the "Next Big Thing" in media storage/content delivery will have already been introduced. So, no need to repost. :)

Mmm... not really. Did you know they've expanded Blu-ray format disks to store 400GB and 500GB of data? They're working on a terabyte disk right now.

Blu-ray will be around for years, and that's the basis of my timeframe argument.

Still don't want me to repost it? :D
 
Anyone know when the next big announcements are usually made? Or are there no regular announcements outside of Macworld (now gone).

Waiting on a Mac Mini update.:confused::):eek:
 
The person who should be most ticked off is Phil.

He was given the keys to a Ferrari and then asked to park it.

He found a hot, naked lady in your bed and then was asked to fetch her a robe.

He was standing in the on deck circle, bottom of the ninth, 2 outs in the world series, and the guy at bat struck out.

He... well you get the picture.

He should back-hand Steve.:D
 
Can we start wastelanding some of these threads now?

If someone complains in a "we love everything mac" thread people yell "GET OUT and stop ruining our party!" but someone makes a "For Angry People" Thread and those same people come in here and say "SHUT UP! You're ignorant and wrong followed by an insulting comment and ":rolleyes:"" so tell me is that that not the definition of a hypocrite?

People like us are angry because we are tired of waiting. Some of us are professionals who never touch the iLife suite (I use CS3/Lightroom2/Office 2008) and anyone who works in a corporate environment has to use Office 2004/08 so 3/4 of the keynote was devoted to teenagers and grandmas. Fine good for them but the MacPro hasn't been updated in a YEAR. The iMac is now grossly overpriced and underpowered including the Mac Mini which is now a joke.

If they actually updated hardware even half as fast as their competiion we would have less to scream about. It's also not anger at the keynote but more we saw this as a last ditch hope that we would FINALLY get something for the rest of us and yet again we were ignored.

So yes, some of us have something to be upset about.
