Slashdot Mirror
iPod Shuffle, Mac Mini, iLife '05, iWork
A number of announcements from the Mac World keynote this afternoon.
The iPod Shuffle is pack-of-gum sized, no screen, weighs less than an ounce. Ships today, $99 for the half gig, $149 for a gig.
The Mac Mini is the headless iMac... 6x6x2.5 with all the expected plugs, starting at $499.
Lot's of tiger bits, spotlight, virtual folders in Mail.app. iLife '05 will ship Jan 22. iPhoto gets folders and video support. iMovie supports HD. GarageBand gets 8 channel recording. iWork includes Keynote 2, and 'Pages' the new word processor and ships the same day as iLife.
But no display on the iPod Shuffle? WTF?
From what I've read, there's no playlists on the iPod Shuffle. It just randomly plays songs. Knowing Apple, there's probably going to be just one button.. Play/Pause.
Anyone still want to do WindozE? These things rock!
Mostly not compatible with Macs in my experience. (I've tried a couple times just for the giggle value.)
//Information does not want to be free; it wants to breed.
Bah humbug.
All I want is an ipod mini with a frickin' built in radio. Is that so much to ask?
Looks lilke I'll have to go for the iRiver or Creative instead...

I want a radio in my MP3 player because that is what I want. Why do you not want a radio in your MP3 player?
When I am at the gym, I listen to news on my MP3 player and when I get tired of news I listen to MP3s. I do not want to have to carry two devices. If Apple won't provide it, I'll go somerwhere else.
I'm so tired of people on slashdot assuming that since they operate in x manner, everyone else should too.

...the new marketing tool for everything Apple.
Oh well, trolls will be trolls...
And some people just have a different perspective and aren't, in anyway, trolling or being a troll. How was his statement trolling?
Oh well, fanatics will be fanatics...
Only Mac fans could possibly get excited over this. I bought a headless 1.1 GHz PC for less than that a couple of years ago.
If nobody uses it, that should be a hint to Apple that 1-button mice aren't what people want.
You plug in a two button mouse, and it behaves as you would expect.
Not quite -- try getting your app to support drag-and-drop via the right mouse button. As far as I (or TrollTech) can tell, there is simply no way to do it under MacOS/X.
(and before someone replies saying that there is no reason to ever need right-mouse-drag, let me simply assert that I do have a good reason for it)
I don't care if it's 90,000 hectares. That lake was not my doing.
Shhhhh.. don't spoil it for all the Mac crazed fans. This the day they have been waiting for all year.
Repeat after me... flash based mp3 players without a screen and shaped like a tampon are rev-o-lu-tion-ary

Well I apologize, but I just don't see how it is more than just his opinion and perspective rather than trolling. You disagree. That's fine. And the fanatics thing was meant to be ridiculous, much like your troll statement is... Happy to be an A--hat in your world. It is truly a compliment not to mention not a surprise. Cheers mate.
Get the slightly faster model with slightly bigger drive, add wireless, gig of ram, superdrive, wireless keyboard and mouse and... Ta-Da, you've spent $1353.00 and still don't have a monitor. Or, just buy 17" G5 iMac with Superdrive and gig of RAM for $1902.00.
He ASKED FOR AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT RIGHT-DRAG IS USED FOR. NOT IN OS X. IN ANY OS.
See? He asked - WHAT DOES IT DO. WHAT OS DOES IT DO IT IN.
And I answered him.
HOW. FUCKING. HARD. IS. THAT. TO. UNDERSTAND. YOU. FLAMING. APPLE. FANBOY.

Mod me down, you fucking twits. Go ahead. I dare you.
(I read with sigs off.)
was the question being answered. Did you say anything about right-drag? No. You didn't. So back the fuck off. Fanboy.

IANAL but write like a drunk one.
