small stuff

C'mon Steve. Bring us something big! :D

Please no, nothing big. I prefer thin and small. Like a new thinner iMac and a thinner and lighter MacBook and a Mac Mini replacement with decent graphics.

Oh please. You shouldn't go down this road here.:cool:

Did BG wrong you in a past life or cut off alimony or something? Your rant takes Anti-MS-Mac-Fanboyism to a disturbingly low level. BG made his money legally (and where not quite so legally MS has gone through the courts as would any other corporation) and is now stepping away from MS to spend more time on his philanthropic work. Who started the fund and the corporate issues MS has been faced with do not detract from the aid he gives. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, to be concise. And what's with 'thief' splattered numerous times around your post? :confused:

Windows being crap is a different discussion entirely.
 
My Organ Donor Card

I would be the first one in line to give Steve one of my organs. If Bill crawled to my door... I'd shut the door in his face.:rolleyes: On a lighter note: I think we all agree... new iMac's seem immenet. (sp? I can't spell worth crap:D) Bring on the new iMac's!
:apple:
 
I hope Steve has several 'one more things'...

By this I mean several really big things...

A new form-factor iMac seems to be the item of choice in he forums. I hope so too as a couple of PC-using friends are waiting for a new design before they buy.

I am hoping for a mid-range tower - somewhere between the iMac and the MacPro. I have a G5 Tower and want something new but a MacPro is honestly more than I need (and the form factor is too big). A more powerfull headless iMac is needed I think, but let's wait and see...not long now

I would like to see the Apple line up for desktops covering 4 basic quadrants, namely:

Mac mini
iMac
'new mini-tower with a really-cool-name-that-I-could-not even-come-close-to-guessing-due-to-its-compete-coolness'
and MacPro.

And how about iLife that supports hard disk video cameras - I mean it is iMovie HD but no hard disk camera support? Go figure

I only have mini DV cameras, but from my understanding you simply copy the videos off the camera if it is hdd based, right?

iMove HD means it is capable of high definition video. It has nothing to do with the type of storage the camera uses.

I dont see an ultra portable with touchscreen until Leopard, but a MacBook Pro 10-12" seems reasonable.

I miss the 12" Mackbooks. They were awesome for portability, and had less compromises in hardware than most ultraportables.

If Steve doesn't present the keynote, it will be by choice. And a wheelchair? Wheeled out? Are you kidding?

You probably think he drives or is driven to work too, huh? :rolleyes: Does Star Trek ring a bell?

Steve Jobs will never die, it's in his contract.

You might be on to something. Steve probably "beams down" from a spaceship orbiting the earth. The zero gravity, enriched oxygen atmosphere helps him think of new and cool new products...

Maybe we'll be seeing an ultraportable touch-screen "tablet....." You know, bigger than the iPhone but looking a lot like it, and yet smaller than the MB or MBP.....

Well, I can dream, can't I?
Click to expand...

Maybe the new rumored ultra portable, solid-state laptops will be simply multitouch tablets? There's no doubt that multitouch interfaces are the future.

I doubt something like that will be released tomorrow.
 
Doctor Q said:
I just want a 24" iMac with a faster-than-ever processor, multi-touch features, a free Leopard upgrade, and half the price of the previous models. C'mon, Steve. Is that too much to ask?
Click to expand...

A multitouch Imac would be awkward. You'd be sitting behind your desk posed like an orchestral conductor with your arms partially extended over your desk.

The multitouch mac would have to be in a tablet format - kinda like those PADs in Star Trek.

Ok, there has to be another closet trekker out there that knows what i'm talking about! :)
 
yanks4sure said:
Could this possibly be the apple tablet computer that every mac fan wants? If Stevie is reading this PLEASE MAKE AN iTAB! :)
Click to expand...

My quandary with the tablet thing is that Steve explicitly said that tablets were not a good market to get into which is why they allowed those modbooks to be made.

However, maybe with the success of multitouch, this may have changed.

Hopefully it will be more than "just" a new iMac. How about updating iLife, iWork and Aperture? And how about an Airport Express with 802.11n, so that it will not slow down my network?
Click to expand...

I'm pretty certain we'll see new versions of iLife and iWork. The timing would be perfect for back to school...

how about leopard early...

"All I want for christmas...is to have had leopard for many months, to have had leopard for many months..."

I'm personally not holding my breath for leopard. I can't say there are any "must have" features for me. Tiger was more of a revolutionary update with spotlight and dashboard. Those two features totally changed my computing experience.
 
BRLawyer said:
Exactly! So this means one of the following:

1 - new, revamped .Mac features including a mindblowing 2Gb storage space as standard, and one more thing...new Mighty Mouse with THREE virtual buttons!!!
Click to expand...

Anyone besides me HATE the Mighty Mouse? I hate that you can't rest your left click finger down and right click. Who wants to rest their hand on their mouse for hours with their fingers pointing straight?
 
I agree, please put real buttons on the mighty mouse. I can hint you that they will release something impossibly small, somthing impossibly thin, and something impossibly useless.

That's all I'm allowed to say to you. If you put the news together, you will figure it out.

Good luck,
-Steven ;)
 
So the question remains:

Why is Bill Gates making an appearance tomorrow? I found it surprising that Bill and Steve were both together during that interview. It makes me believe there's some sort of new collaboration in the works.

Maybe Gates is going to talk about the new MS Office? I thought Gate's retired from most of the Microsoft stuff? Maybe Gates now works for Apple? Hah.

We will find out soon.

Where did you hear that Gates would be making an appearance tomorrow? I know people on here were arguing about Gates and philanthropy, but there wasn't anything about them speaking together.

Someone said Jonny Ive is going to be there earlier. I hope he does and I hope there's a video of it.
