You youngsters probably don't remember this.....

In the beginning, Apple GAVE away their OS for free. If you wanted the latest OS you could just call apple and they would mail you a floppy or a set of floppies. They did this for free, no handling, no shipping. They did this for years.

really?
thats crazy!

but to be honest i didn't know about apple till i got my first iPod

i think they will charge for ML, not sure how much.
OSX is very different then iOS,
apple can afford to give iOS away for free, because in most cases people will buy a new iPhone each year, covering the cost for iOS

wheres with macs
people only buy one every few years

Yeah, because you need google to find apples keynote:confused:

I have an idea..bypass google and think real hard where apples keynote might be posted.

I'm not that dumb. But I feel that if I go to their website, they might have updated product(s) on the front page, thus spoiling it for me. It's doubtful they'd release new hardware and leave the new iPad as the front page.

Haha, TV on the left and computer on the right for me! Predictions on the score? I'm thinking England 2 - France 1.

England 2 - France 1 - Mac Pro 3 - iMac 0.

Really looking forward to seeing the keynote on os x...oh wait no one gives a crap about os x at apple these days

Yeah for sure, after lion boy do they deserve the money for a service pack with a notes and reminders apps, twitter and growl, sorry android notifications, sorry ios notifications. The only fair price for mountain lion (which btw won't be compatible with macs as "old" as 3 years ago) should be -$29. They ll probably give it free and tout their generosity... If they do charge for it though they ll have reached the point where they are completely shameless...

New features are overrated. I would prefer OS venders put less effort into new features and more effort into reducing footprints and increasing stability. Lion was a good upgrade.

Agreed, I don't think there will be much in this year's WWDC.

I can only imagine what people will do when they mention Facebook integration, but I want to know what they will think if we start seeing "Like" buttons over the Stores (App, Book, iTunes) as 9to5Mac is saying.
Click to expand...

I already see 'Like' buttons in the iTunes store.
 
I have no plans to buy any Apple products this year. In fact, with my 2011 iMac, 2009 Macbook, and 4th generation iPod Touch, I can't immagine buying ANYTHING made by apple for at least another 2 if not 3 or 4 years...

...but I'm STILL excited for Monday! :D

I really appreciate that there's a spoiler-free news page so I don't accidentally find out the spoilers from Google when searching for Apple's keynote release after work on Monday.

Cheers.

The guy makes a polite comment thanking MacRumors for the spoiler-free news page and gets down-votes and sarcastic comments. I don't get that.

Add my positive vote for the spoiler-free news page. That's more thoughtful than some TV networks where I've seen the result of a delayed telecast given away in a short news update, right before you get to see the end of the match!
 
No live coverage? :(

Well it will be 2 in the morning where I live, anyway. So the spoiler-free video will do it awesomely. :cool:
 
Anyone for new 'new' iPad's

It would seem some peeps have neglected to add the new 'new' iPad to this list for updates on monday.

Its all toys for the boys as far as I'm concerned - don't know why they just don't call Mountain Lion iOS6 Pro, for that's what it is!!!

We need some serious macs, we need vastly superior mac mini's, upgraded iMac's and vastly superior Mac Pro's - instead we get iOS6, fine for mobility toys, but of little value to those who want a little more capabilities in their toys.

Well - actually I remember paying 19,- DM (so about 10 bucks) as shipping fee - but boy those were the times with all these paper coupons you received with buying a Mac that entitled you to free upgrades.

......not sure if this will be live or not but the following site claims it will have a live feed. http://www.wwdclive.com/#

:eek: Wicked!! I hope it's real (MR should update the article if it is). Thanks for the link!

Still not sure if I'm gonna stay up at 2 in the morning just to see the new iMac (or a big letdown if no new iMac) being presented live. Yeap it's the iMac that I'm most excited about!

I got ya..just thought it was funny that u said google was going to spoil it when looking for apples keynote. I understand. Just felt the need to post a sarcastic remark for some reason.

Damnit, it would have to clash with the first England Euro 2012 game...

The England squad have visited an orphanage in Poland this week. "It's so sad to see their little faces devoid of joy or hope for the future." said Igor (aged 6). :p

I'm expecting Mountain Lion to be $19. I severely doubt they would make it cost more then Lion, so it wouldn't be more than $29. Similarly, I doubt it would cost less than $9.99. I'm thinking something around $20 makes the most sense.

I'd pay $100 for a snow leopard downgrade.
