I'm sorry, did I miss something - overdue iMac updates? It's only seven months since the last major overhaul, I'm sat with a new model 27" iMac, which is an incredibly machine in a configuration less than 8 months old - what overdue update?!
Got a tip for us?

Few ever expected a Quad-Core upgrade.
If we see another decent update in September, that will be timely enough.
Because it's my work computer, not a home entertainment system and I have no desire to watch a two hour movie on a display 12" from my face...
Hrm?
You can use external Blu-Ray drives on Mac OS X. Not for watching movies though. Most people use it for burning Blu-Ray data discs (Toast Titanium lets you for one).
And I presume by treating movie discs like data discs, you can rip them - specifically with MakeMKV - http://www.makemkv.com/download/
What adapter, all FireWire is backward compatible, bring your f.cking cable along, you can't except the uni to provide you with a cable too.

There'd better be a matte, anti-glare screen for the numerous people that need them - see the growing petition at http://macmatte.wordpress.com
Steve needs to realise that some people actually use Macs for work, not for play, and some workers are in lighting conditions in which a glossy screen creates havoc. Other such as some graphic designers and some photographers need matte screens for the way they work their crafts.
The petition at http://macmatte.wordpress.com has 1000+ people, many of whom took time to give detailed explanations why they need matte screens. All admit that glossy has nicer pop colors etc, but they need matte screens because of their work. Many suffer from headaches and eyestrain too.
Not saying everyone needs or prefers matte, but many do.
Why does Apple force the glossy screen down our throat?
BTW, the petition at http://macmatte.wordpress.com could do with more petitions.

No, that greedy, power-hungry, power-abusing, petty, vindictive, hypocritical old miser Steve Jobs is the whole world of hurt.
With Blu-ray drives: 0% goes to Apple
Without Blu-ray drives: forced to buy 720 (!!!!) media from the infamous WalledGarden vending machine known as iTunes (nickled and dimed to death, to which El Capitano Senor Jobs says where you can and can't use it), to which Apple gets XX% receives.
Meanwhile, is old Steve-O gonna pay for my additional data usage to downloand a frickin' 720 (!!!) media?
"Hey, I got this great movie I wanna share w/ you. Here's my Mac Pro or iMac. Just borrow it and return it when you're done w/ it. Just make sure you lift w/ your back."
Makes no sense, because after all bluray is a bag of hurt.
A lot of graphic designers have built the beautiful yellow iMac tint into their Photoshop workflow. I don't think it's a coincidence i have seen a lot of yellow graphics, banners and web images since October of last year.
Guess what is a bag of hurt!
1.) How do you rip them?
2.) How many external HDDs have you got?
3.) What if people have 32, 37, 42" or even larger screens?
4.) What about sound? You lose the quality sound too with your time-consuming/HDD-wasting ripping exercise.
5.) What if people just can't be bothered to rip? The whole point of Blu Ray is that you put it in and you get quality sound with quality picture on a disc.
6.) AND YOU CALL BLU RAY A BAG OF HURT?!

Bluray is a bag of hurt. Done, finished, over the hill.
I'm glad that you finished, so you can move on. Although, I'm sceptical about whether you can...
It is really like talking to a wall, isn't it? You keep repeating that "Bluray is a bag of hurt" and you cannot process any arguments to the contrary.
What else did Jobs say that you defend more aggressively than anybody with basic intelligence, including him?
