WWDC: Leopard Features? Xserves and Mac Pros?

I can find a way to see tha banner... Does anyone have a link?
Click to expand...

Come over to the thread about the banner, I just posted a high-res version.
 
Since WWDC is a DEVELOPER conference...

What I'd like to see is Apple coming up with something that can compete with C# and .NET. C# is currently by far the nicest programming language that I've ever used and .NET is in some ways the best API. I'm hoping that Apple is not just going to add garbage collection to Objective-C and target LLVM. Now is the time to replace Objective-C with something modern. Even if they decide to use their own implementation of C# I'll be happy.
 
eveything there looks like stuff that's already available. except that disk with the big black X on it. big black X's always lead to good news.

i seriously effing hope it's more than improvements to file sync'ing, spotlight, and virtual desktops. that's pathetic. we need a revolutionary OS revision.

hasn't every new OS be revolutionary?
 
Its getting way too exciting. Maybe its because there hasn't been an Apple event in a while. We need our fix periodically.

Not in my opinion. I think each OS release has been evolutionary, but not revolutionary.

Tiger added Widgets, which have surely been revolutionary...

I remember when WWDC last happened and Steve Jobs showing Spotlight was on TV!
 
The MacBook Pro looks to be smaller (judging by the size of the speaker grill). Maybe they are releasing it in a smaller size

That would be awesome- a 13 or 14 inch MBP.

The speaker grilles are virtually gone...makes me wonder if they new ones will run even hotter, as on the previous models you can feel thermal currents coming out of the grilles....

I think that's a poor example because Konfabulator was already around and Apple essentially just took that idea and made it part of the OS. Desk Accessories which were part of the original Mac, released in 1984, were similar to widgets. So I don't see where revolution comes to mind. They've evolved, but it's not a revolutionary idea.

Not to mention Firefox and Google have had the same stuff for years...

Core 2 Duos in the MacBook Pros!!! Come on you know you want to damnit....

Hell yes!!!

With a better mobile graphics GPU, i.e.,
ATI Mobility ™ Radeon® X1800 Series or
GeForce Go 7900

Larger optional hard drives:
offer the Seagate ST9160821A-RK 160 GB ATA-100 for mac laptops or Seagate Momentus 5400.3 160 GB

and here is the kicker: (optional)
Blu-Ray Drive player/burner, with DVD+-R (dl) ability.

hey i know it would cost more, but apple is supposed to lead in terms of technology.

Getting a little ahead of ourselves on the GPU?? How about Apple clocking the X1600 at ATI's default speed, first.;)

I am still not sure if the picture is just playing tricks on my eyes but when comparing the pictured MacBook pro in that banner to mine and the ones on the Apple website they do appear the be diffenrent.

That would be nice.
 
I just want to know who is the ass monkey that took this picture? Hahaha, the monkey has left all of us playing Sherlock Holmes trying to figure out what the text says! That said, I don't think it's anything more than what it is, just a greeting banner to welcome people.

why is it getting ahead of ourselves?

The ATI or NVidia are both avail, and being sold by competitors.

Why wait to use the best technology? to save money and profit margins?
remember the laptops have the graphics GPU on a small separate card. they can change that, offer different options/models.

I just want the best laptop possible. period.

apple should let us clock the components the way we want. so you and i are both happy. just an idea. i bet overclocking would use more power though. which doesnt matter. 3/4 of the time my laptop is on a plug in power source.

I agree, the speaker grills are definitely smaller...good sign for me at least, I'm waiting on a new MacBook Pro!

HOWEVER, that part of the banner is a little crumpled over. You can tell by the ripple that it is folded back a bit and would make the grills appear to be smaller. Not sure if it's that, though. Hard to tell!

I wish whoever took the picture would have just run into the room and snapped a few more!
 
And the photo is a decoy...

I think the photo is a decoy and that there are in fact new machines coming out and hte photo has been pplaced to distract discussion from new casings as the old casings are all on the banner...

I can only hope...

Its the same old MBP. You're being fooled by the perspective.

I see that now :)

Purpoted leaked Leopard images/info at PowerPage:

http://www.powerpage.org/archives/2006/08/exclusive_leopard_feature_set_leaked.html

I'm inclined to believe they're real, and I like them :) Exposé for Safari tabs? It's like they read my mind. I hope they're real come Monday.

I posted this somewhere else, but here it is again. That page is fake. They take screen caps of the easy to photoshop features, yet just tell us the iChat interface is "different". Right.

FAKE.
