Yes, and the post was to disturb the silence.
Just felt like everyone had given up waiting and gone back to their lives. Was keeping the fire burning.

Thank you.
Sorry, I couldn´t hear your silence. My old PC ist making these really really ugly new noises since last night. It just used to gurgle like a classic coffeemaker. But now there´s a new sound added which I really don´t like.
So where are the new Macbooks!?!?!?!?
Ah yes, that seems like a more plausible reason for the silence than people giving up - their old machines giving up
9 days until Apple will send out their invitations to the event!
oh wow, is your crystal ball working on sundays?
Mine always shuts down saturday evening and has to
reboot on monday.

Yes that or the time difference. It´s seven in the morning where I live.

Good morning to you! I'm off to bed!

Guten Abend fur uns und Guten Morgen fur Ihnen!
I don't understand why people simply choose to ignore how 8K will be the standard display resolution in the near future. We'll be complaining about how our iPhones only have super retina when android phones have 8K
I don't understand why people don't understand what the term Retina means in terms of display technology. Super retina makes absolutely no sense. Either our eyes can distinguish pixels at a certain normal working distance (which means you don't have a Retina screen) or your eyes cannot make that distinction (in which case the screen is Retina class, and any additional increase in DPIs is a waste of resources, in terms of battery, manufacturing R&D, or costs to the consumer). Now unless you foresee us working with our noses to our screens in the future, I can't see why anyone would want, let alone pay, for anything in the 8k range. If someone brags about his/her 8k android phone/tablet, or computer, I'll just laugh and dismiss it. TV may be a different story, but I'm not engaging that in a thread about laptops to be released imminently.
In short, I can't see the majority of the population spending money on specs when it becomes common knowledge those specs do not actually improve anything in a qualitative manner whatsoever.
Agree 100%. By the way. Even for television 4K isn't a vast improvement from HD. 8K is pretty big nonsense. Still we see currently a big push from TV makers like Sony to establish 4K.

Yep. My weekend starts on Fridays this semester so I'm recharged by Sunday

I assume that 'super retina' would allow for scaled resolutions without discernible pixels, and some people with better than average eyesight should still be able to see individual pixels on what Apple calls 'retina'. If anything though, higher resolutions make more sense on a computer monitor than it does on a TV (unless you watch TV from a metre away?). Either way, we're at least a few years off retina and 4k becoming mainstream, let alone 'super retina'.
The taxes here in the States haven't changed. They've always charged tax on the full price, not the contract price. That doesn't go over wll with me. I'd love to see an audit on where that extra tax money really goes
I'm not gonna lie, 1080p screens on phones look better than 720p screens (iPhone's retina) on phones. I tested my friends GS4 against my iPhone at what I'd consider normal viewing distance (probably 15-20 inches from my face?) And the 1080p display just looks a bit sharper. To me, I would prefer that to the retina limitation. Just like the new rMBP's dGPU might not "need" 2GB of dRAM. I still would like it. Btw I adjusted the screen saturation to a different profile that made it look less saturated cus I know that could have skewed my opinion otherwise
Also, I think they would call it "Retina +"
I used to think the same, but displays beyond Apple's Retina do look better. Have a read of this excellent article on the topic: http://www.cultofmac.com/173702/why-retina-isnt-enough-feature/
Based on that, you'd need an 8k display on the rMBP for true Retina.
In every jurisdiction, taxes primarily go to fund three things: waste, fraud, and abuse.
Now what does this have to do with waiting for Haswell?
I'm not interested in reviews, but I'll be buying this Tuesday, because I'm in the States now, Macs are so much less expensive here, and the expected new features, while surely nice to have, are not important to me. The current Ivy Bridge rMBP will be fine for me if the Haswell rMBP will not be available before my departure.
Still running my first Mac, the first unibody MacBook Pro. It will be 5 years old by the time I upgrade (hopefully the new MacBook Pros will be updated by then), the longest I've ever gone without upgrading my computer.
Any chances the base model retina with get more than 256 GB SSD? It's too small for me, so I'm looking at 512GB or more. If only SSD:s weren't so bloody expensive I'd easily get the 768GB version.
