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.
OSX is secure, it won't be hackers.
It will be the president (either the current tyrant or maybe a democrat tyrant that replaces him).
It will be done by executive order, and of course it would be illegal for apple to talk about it.
You've read 1984, haven't you? Those weren't TVs, they were computers.
Yeah, and you guys panned the ipod too: http://apple.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=01/10/23
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?
