New Version of Panther (Tachyon) for New Hardware?

[GregGomer]

Can you say New Display.

That's my guess, as it would need to support the buttons and functions of the new display. In fact in the old days, the displays came with software to install for older versions of OS X. So it would make sense if instead they just put the new software in the new Panther builds.

Re: YEAR OF THE LAP TOP

What Steve meant by this statement is that Laptops sales will sigificantly increase. Nothing more, nothing less.


He said what the meaning of this was during the Jan Keynote speech, unfortunately, people have got carried away and forgotten this.

so, could the delay delivering G5 chips in desktops be the reason why powerbooks are also delayed? Spreading 'the butter' alittle thin on our bread? And the Tibook form factor changed (ala 12 & 17) to accomodate added cooling? Educate me.

[Powerbook G5]

If the G5 PowerBooks were to come, they should be codenamed "The Borg" because they'd come to bring order to the chaos that is our miserable rumor-crazed lives once and for all. When they did come out, trust me, resistance would most assuredly be futile.

Something big is coming I feel... hardware and new software (software other than pather ).

Otherwise why did Apple release the upgraded iMacs this week and not just wait a week and "show them off" at Paris? .

Because there is absolutely nothing to show off about these upgrades !!!!!! It would have been the greatest disappointment at the Paris show.

And I also put the below.

If you take the view that this isn't a big enough upgrade to iMacs for Parading at Paris, then the same could be said about possible new 15" PB - a slightly faster processor at 1.25Ghz and that have alumuim casing. Whoopie do! To showcase new PBs at Paris and to be taken seriously, they are going to have to be some hefty upgrades.

Seriously, adding a different case and a few bits and pieces doesn't mean a lot. The Al-15" PB isn't going to be a great upgrade.. probably, still a G4. However, it would be very welcome for the demand.. but still, not significant upgrade, until the G5 PB comes..

Best evidence for g5 Powerbooks?

I want to pretend like this means G5 PowerBooks somehow. But I can't.

Seems like nothing too exciting.

LOTR character names are for G5 system enabling updates.

Thinksecret reported that the version of 10.2.7 being prepared for the new Powerbooks was called Blackrider ( http://www.thinksecret.com/news/augustpowerbooks.html ).

I always find it VERY interesting when unrelated rumors cross like this!!!

Well, obviously that is why Apple is working on with tachyons. Apples newest hardware will be accelerated to hyper-C speeds and thus travel backwards in time to the early part of this year. Soon the timeline will straighten itself out and you will no longer retain memories of any of this.

No, I think they are using tachyons because Steves Reality Distortion field will be completely maxed out to keep everyone utterly happy with whatever tidbits are announced at Paris, and the on-stage computers will be so close to him they will need to run at twice the speed of light just to work at all…

 

[Doraemon]

from front page
Sub-particles = Developer Tools
Colors (Green/Pink/etc) = Jaguar updates
Lord of the Rings characters (Smeagol/Deagol/etc) = G5-enabling system updates.

Is Deagol an already known/leaked codename for a system version? Or is it just an example of a possible name.

 

[Dont Hurt Me]

i think somewhere deep ,deep in apple is a Star Trek fan. allways hearing about those tachyons.
