Apple Launches New Magical Trackpad, 12 Core Macs
theappwhisperer writes "The Magic Trackpad is basically a larger version of the MacBook Pro touchpad, with 80% more surface area for all your swiping and pinching. The entire surface acts as a button, so it's also a possible mouse replacement. And all of the expected gestures are here: two-finger scrolling, pinch to zoom, fingertip rotation, and three- and four-finger swipes. You can enable and disable gestures at your discretion from System Preferences." They also launched 12-core Mac Pros coming in August.
works out great for me, I get a new computer and get one of those damn kids out of my hair.
Any takers? SHould I put them on craigslist or ebay?
Do not meddle in the affairs of sysadmins, for they are subtle, and quick to anger.

Ah, nope. You missed one.
Put two in craigslist's personals and the rest on eBay. That ought to do it!

Honestly, I find this "magic" marketing strategy to be a complete turnoff.
Well, I guess Steve Jobs learned his lesson with "really cool engineering". What else is left besides "magic"?
"Combining the really cool engineering of the iPhone 4, and the magic of the new iMac; I am pleased to announce to the world the iAlchemist. Yes that's right folks, as long as you don't hold it the wrong way, your iAlchemist can use the power of alchemy to turn lead into gold!"

I won't be impressed until I can make a flaming pigeon come out of it.
I didn't know Apple did Trade-ins for non Apple products.
You don't have to make love to the product.
You would if my app wasn't rejected.
Just use the pinch to zoom to make the target area larger.
As an added bonus you can yell "Enhance!" every time you zoom-in.
At least they didn't call it,
iMagic.

Uh, we're lead free solder here, thank you.
I'd be happy to redirect a barge full of toys en route from China to one of your local ports; for a nominal fee of course. :)

Including extended middle finger?
Does a Fleshlight run iOS? I know it works with an ARM processor... ;)

Adobe has assured its customers that Flash 10.1 will be able to "...make full use of the new machines. Flash will be able to utilize 100% of the 12 core hardware without fail. That's the reliability customers have come to expect from Adobe."
Boot Camp users running Windows will have to deal with "compatibility issues" that might limit utilization to a mere 15-25%
For the love of God, don't tell us anything about storage or capacity.
When confronted with one problem, some think "I'll use recursion". Now they are confronted with one problem.
Ah, dont tease him, HTML doesnt count anyway.. unless you wrote the http-deamon hosting it yourself, on punchcard, uphill both ways, in ten feet of snow..
People, what a bunch of bastards
iFizzle. iFizzle. iFizzle. iFizzle. You begin casting iMagic. iTarget (iFanboi) succumbed to iMagic. iFizzle. iFizzle. iFizzle. You become better at iFizzle. iFizzle. iFizzle. You begin casting iMagic. iTarget (iNonFanboi) resisted iMagic. Try iMagic again after you reduce their reality distortion field shield with iMalosini.
You can lead a man with reason but you can't make him think.
They are bad apples, so it is more of a recall.
