I'm all for the death of OS9, but the coffin seems a little overly dramatic. Anyone have a pic of this, please post it, I'm very curious.

That statement was intended for the developers to no longer bother with OS9.

that is rough. i'm surprised she knew what extreme quartz was. heck, i don't really... ha.
 
having doubts if my qucksilver 867 will run X.2

sound like bloatware to anyone else?

OSX is slow enough already

I think apple may be making a mistake for producing an os that ibooks cannot run. Thousands of people have recently purchased these laptops and will find they can not run the new os. I think this will be a huge mistake if the new ibooks cannot run osx.2.
 
geez, ppl, only quartz extreme will not run!!!

and that means it just won't be using your graphics card to accelerate quartz!!

built-in messaging is great :D
 
iChat???

But I loath AOL almost as much as M$. Damn. I never got into the chat arena, maybe, maybe I will now, but I don't see it as a big productivity tool.
 
'Apple introducing a dedicated server, rack mount model.'


Rumors were correct, I wonder what other hardware we'll see soon?

Please don't take offense to this, but, do you happen to own a new iBook? Did you just shell out 1499$ just to find out that all of the features of X will not run on it? How would that make you feel? How about it you just bought two. One for you and one for your wife. Oh no, it is not a good feeling at all. We love our iBooks, no doubt about that, but to buy hardware in quarter 2 of 2002 that will not be able to run an OS update in quarter 3 of 2002. Well, that just F**K*** sucks! If you can't see that then your blind.

Oh, yea it may just be the accelerated quartz, but with a G3, we need all the help we can get.
 
A better mail huh? I hope it imports eudora files better. I have a whole slew of semi-complictated filters, mailboxes full of highlighted files, and to top it off I keep my replies in the same boxes as the messages I recieve. (Makes going over old emails much easier, that's for sure - though I think even Eudora gets confused over them in some situations easily). When I tried to move to mail.app before the results were... unpleasant.
 
hey, fyi i use a g3 ibook (500) and im not mad ;)

new servers is great!

now im pissed :( i had a scholarship and couldn't go to the conference due to the lack of support from my university... AND THEY'RE GIVING AWAY PREVIEW VERSIONS!!!!! :(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

stay away from it unless you really need/want to do it.... it can suck up so much damn time. i messed my grades up pretty bad freshman year. and it's just kinda dumb and gets old. unless you're far from a special someone and such... but anyhoo

weird that it says "news on the server front in a week" but then declares factually that there will be a new rackmount model... with date (may 14) and all...

Quartz Extreme: Takes the compositing engine in Quartz, and accelerates it in graphics cards. Combines 2D, 3D and video in one hardware pipeline via OpenGL. "Everything on the screen is being drawn in hardware by OpenGL." Requires AGP 2x and 32MB of video RAM.

Must be an update to the ibook soon otherwise they wont be able to benefit!!

What should I do with my iMac G3 350 MHz?!
This isnt fair :(
 
Anybody else severely bummed about September release??

This really irks me! I had put up with 10.0 the unfinished operating system since March 2001. Paid for my free update to 10.1, which by the way was a great improvement. But still OS X just isn't quite there. Applications have been slow in coming and frankly the whole OS is just slow responding and not as refined an interface as OS 9.

After one year went by and rumors of Jaguar had been circulating about a March release, then put off til July MWNY, now late summer. UGGGGGGH!! All I can say is "I sure hope this OS lives up to all the hype!!". Why even tease us about Jaguar if we have to wait 4 months!!!

One would think they could implement at least some of Extreme Quartz even on older graphics cards, rather than all-or-nothing. You're absolutely right, G3s (and other lower-end configurations not yet imagined, such as the future apple pda-thingy) are the ones that need this power the most, and have the least room for super gigantic graphics cards.
 
iBook and 10.2

I'd be pretty po'ed too, but that's life in the tech biz. A friend of mine just bought a 667 TiBook a month before the 800 TiBook came out. I bought my B&W G3 a few months before the G4's came out. We all get screwed by every time we buy anything new.

Remember, though, OS X 10.2 WILL RUN on your iBook. In fact, I'd bet it will run FASTER than 10.1.x does by the simple fact that they are optimizing it in other ways than just the Quartz Exteme stuff.

Besides, chances are the Quartz Extreme stuff will be buggy long enough for you to save up for a TiBook or a future G4 iBook. (just trying to look on the bright side for ya! :D )
 
they aren't teasing consumers about anything... this is a developer's conference and for us, we need to hear about these things asap... they're giving away preview versions for attendees for this reason.

any major software update takes always more than the theoretical deadline.
