Last look, QTSS, MySQL, Print queues, AFP,SMB,NFS,FTP have been 'amalgamated' into the wonderful new Server app. I think Podcast Producer has survived the cut...

...and if you were thinking, "well at least they have kept OS X Server" Apple have just killed ACSA, so it's goodbye tech admins forever...

They don't give a **** about server anymore

oh man this REALLY REALLY sucks....
 
I don't know what you're all complaining about. I'm desperately waiting for this release; I'm without a computer until they bring out the new MBA. Seeng as it'll come out when it comes out whatever anyone says, I'd rather have the rumours to keep me going. For the next couple of days I can delude myself that the new Air will be in my hands on Wednsday, and if not then as long as there's a new rumour that says it'll be out on Friday I'll be just fine. It'd be worse without a date to aim for. :cool:

Just a question, if you are without a computer, how are you reading and posting this? electric typewriter or pidgin?

iPad and/or iPhone!!! Oh I forgot those are just toys not practical devices...
 
Watch it drop after the earnings announcement (no matter how good it is) and the release of Lion and new Macs. Expectation always fuels the market, reality causes it to fall.

This is true. Never buy during the hype.
 
Last week they said tuesday, or no, thursday. nothing.

Now it's wednessday. Come wednessday they'll say tomorrow.

FFS. It's MacRUMORS, people.

I love threads like this that degenerate into pedantic discussions over rumors/rumours!

Anyway, that point should be rendered moot as "MacRumors" is obviously Scottish.
 
Anyone else think that Steve is at his office, looking at this thread, laughing his ass of at our ignorance, rambeling, "u" discussion and the fact that our world revolves around a rumo(u)r he spread? That would be SO AWESOME :D :apple:

Sources tell me he stopped for a crying break after reading your post. :D

On an iPad. What a stupid question. We are living in the post-pc era, or did you miss the majority of the work Apple has been doing for the past several years?

Uh ? You said you were without a computer, now you say you have an iPad. Which is it ? Are you without a computer or not ? Is the iPad yours or borrowed from someone else ?

Or are you one of those people that don't know what a computer is ?
 
Sorry Simon. As a Canadian, and loyal subject to HRM, I feel your pain.

This forum is U.S.-based. They typically like to murder baby "u"s.

Does anybody still believe this *****?

Were that the same sources that told us we were getting Lion last week. Or the ones telling it's coming this week? If it's the ones telling us Lion is coming on Wednesday, I hope they're right on both accounts :D

[Updated] "The Sources" just let me know that it wasn't Steve who was actually laughing and crying - it was his dog. They also said there was a widely held belief that the majestic dog is actually the one source of rumors and not Steve or anyone else at Apple.

Based on that I would say Lion is coming next week - if not I will get the updated rumor straight from the dog's mouth :D

Ow, those dogs. But, you knox, maybe he's a spy for apple fanboys. A dog hears much you know. Still, if he was laughing and crying.
And that means Steve didn't see my post :(
Still, I'm crossing my fingers for Wednesday...so my MacBook Pro arrives on...let's say next week Monday. A, the irony. Waiting for Wednesday for Lion to come out while I will still have to wait 7 more days. Cruel.
 

kinda love and support your thoughts.. stevie nicks et al.

lion will be buggy, it currently is.. and ultimately shall be sorted, 'till we move on to ?

tiger is perfect, leopard and snow leopard too, now when the new? prevails

why should we desert our trusted lovers?

machines are alike
 
I love the hate in these forums nowadays. The reason your here is because you care about the product to some extent; and when others- who are equally excited, make educated guesses based on available information and correlation (ie: Rumors) turn up *gasp* 'WRONG'- you get upset?

I've watched these trolls and pessimistic longtime users for 7 years. Every time its the same thing. Try finding something in your own life to work toward, be excited about, something that you can actually predict and change and accomplish. It would make threads like this so much less of a self pity fest.

I'm happy to wait, because this company is a fantastic machine to watch. Calculated, confident, and elegant. It's inspiring! :eek:
