MacWorld Keynote Announces x86 iMac & Laptop
Steve Jobs began giving his keynote at 9am local time, PST. The action was posted live at MacRumorsLive, and Engadget. From the Engadget liveblog: "How many [iPods] did we sell last quarter? Some of the estimates were getting astronomical - 8 million, 9 million. I'm really pleased to announce that last quarter we sold 14 million iPods .. that is over a hundred every minute, 24/7 throughout the quarter. And it still wasnt enough. We've now sold over 42 million iPods -- as you can see the curve is going up again" MacWorld and Ars Technica has coverage as well. The shiniest news: MacBook Pro. iSight, Front Row; $1999 1.67 Core Duo; 667 DDR bus, Radeon x1600; $2499 1.83GHz. Intel chip.
No. Pain you keep, Pain you always keep. It'll just be new pains on the new OS. Along that line, I can now crash a fully patched WinXP P4 box consistently by attempting to open a Start Menu subfolder and the error reports are going their merry way to Microsoft.
US currency is dropping like a rock. I think it's now $1US = 1.12 euros. We started out even; it's a fine, easy metric of how our economy is tanking.
The Chinese have announced that they are moving their foreign reserves into anything but US dollars, real soon now. Then, watch the $/Euro meter start spinning like the altimeter on that plane Bugs Bunny and that Gremlin almost crashed... hope it runs out of gas before it hits the ground.
Hey, i use my modem extensively on my iBook G4 when i travel.
Not all places have WiFi, and that too free of cost.
What was Apple thinking when they removed a modem? Maybe thinking USB is the one solution to ALL connectivity?
Mabe next time they will remove RAM slots and expect us to have USB dongles of RAM?
