ehh, uhh... hmmm. Documentary? hehe.... HD PORN IS THE FUTURE AND APPLE IS AT THE FOREFRONT... what did you think they meant when they said the "Funnest iPod ever" ...
NEW MACBOOK and MBP Slogan "The Glossierifficest Macbook Ever!"
I was referring to his blu ray comment. I doubt there will be bluray. However, I'd like to see it because I love blu ray, but I still doubt it. Except in maybe the iMac or the MBPs. Maybe.
we all know how apple likes to charge more for items which should be provided free of charge (remote, dvi cable, vga cable, etc etc)...
so perhaps they're planning to release glossy ONLY MBP so that they can sell the 'matte screen film overlay' for a good few $$$ more
- its all about the $$$ lol

I imagine if there is no button, these trackpads will be similar to the Mighty Mouse. Meaning, a right click feature as well. Also still able to drag things... The thing is, the button takes away a lot of the "multitouch" space. Without it there is SO MUCH MORE space. If this is the case, you'll love it. Promise.
It should draw the same exact amount of power as a Superdrive. It only draws power when it needs to spin, the problem with Blu-ray's is the cache is the same size on the drive, but the disc has so much more content that it's always spinning while watching a blu-ray. Regular disc's should be exact same as superdrive.
I'm certainly not counting on it... might be kinda cool if they offered it as an external drive (maybe the magical port people are speculating about) so when travelling one could take it along... hmm. Tho when I travel i usually just rip my movies to a 700 MB avi... makes the battery life longer playing it off the drive vs a DVD, but HD, ahh that would be bliss!
My day would be ruined if those specs for the MacBook were true.
Those are the same exact prices and specs, infact I think the current middle MacBook model has a better processor.

well that takes away some of my fear for bluray. I shouldnt be worrying ne way, ill be getting a mackbook
We all need to calm down and wait for the official announcement in about an hour! I don't want to believe anything until Stevie tells me. Everything that's been 'leaked' and said seems extremely un-Applelike.

I doubt it will be standard, but I am thinking they are going to give the option of blu-ray on at least the MacBook Pro's, possibly the MacBook's, but I'm guessing at least MacBook Pro's.
I know I wait months upon months to replace my 17" powerbook. If they break my heart today without updating the 17" they better make something 18" + to suite my video editing/design needs.
I see we have a lot of whine experts on this forum. But I guess this makes sense. What goes best with Apple announcements and rumors?....whine, of course!
A clickable glass trackpad is interesting..and ground breaking for a laptop. It would be interesting to try that out and see how it works...assuming the rumor is true. Gloss screen on a laptop? I go back and forth on whether I like it or not. It looks great but reflection can be bothersome. However, Isn't a matte screen just a clear display with a matte coating over it? And how did people ever get buy in the CRT days? Didn't graphic work used to be done on those...and they have glossy screens? How is color less accurate on a glossy screen? Did color accuracy improve for graphic artists once they started getting matte LCD screens as opposed to their old CRT's?

I also did, kept one of mine for about 3 and a half months...
12' Powerbook... Oh how I miss it.
I guess it's worse on a laptop than an iMac due to the angle. An iMac screen is pretty much horizontal, but a laptop sitting on your desk probably has the screen at a 45 degree angle, which means you'll be looking at a reflections of the ceiling and whatever lights are up there.
I lament the loss too, as I like the neutrality of matte. But this is the way the industry is trending. And I disagree, by a lot of accounts, the music producers are mixing now with the thought that most of their music will be heard on crappy ear buds. Boing Boing has just such a story. And I seem to remember reading a blog post linked to by Kottke or DF (can't find it now) about a woman who never became a vinyl snob because some famous audio producer mixed with a single crappy speaker because "thats how most of his listeners would hear it."
Like I said, if you are doing digital production, lamenting the loss of matte is really hyperbole - you lost the color fidelity wars a long time ago.
And isn't this how all industries go? When the 35mm format came out it was lambasted by the professionals who all used medium format cameras. Now with digital we seem to hold 35mm as some champion of perfection, when the truth is if you are viewing all of your photos on Flickr, the difference is practically imperceptible.
I don't want to defend the decision to drop matte, I just don't want to overstate its importance. It sucks as much as the loss of firewire, but I'm not going to pretend that I'm about to go Vista over it.
EDIT: I found the aforementioned link: "When I was a teenager, I visited the original Motown records studios, in a little house in Detroit. In the control room, I saw a tiny, crappy speaker mounted next to the mixing console, the kind of speaker that would be attached to an AM radio in any car from the 60's. Berry Gordy mixed all that classic soul through that ****** little speaker, because he knew that was how all his music would be heard for the first time."
You have a good argument against all the whining about glossy screens. Unforunately, people will still whine.
I agree with you about the glass trackpad. However, I think a glass screen will be nice as well. Although I don't see how the two pieces of glass hitting each other when the laptop is closed will NOT cause scratching. But a glass creen is neat all the same. Screens on iPods and iPhones are both really nice and the glare isn't bad at all while the screen isn't black.
assume the rumors are legit
$1299 for a mb of such performance is not really economic eough nowadays
anyone will purchase the $999 white mb instead??

Goddamn bunch of retards, the 17" MBP was first introduced more than a month after the 15" version, what's the problem with them not refreshing it today exactly?
