Is it just me, or a 24" iMac would've been nice to show on stage with whatever that "Showtime" thing might be? That would, at least, have made some sense to at least start by showing that.
Which means the september 12th presentation must be really packed with new stuff if they couldn't even announce the 24" iMac at that event. They've also bumped the CPUs on the Mac mini today, so that makes two updates on the same day too.
It's also weird to see new releases on a wednesday...
...why do people keep thinking it's so weird?
It was Labor Day on Monday. Apple ALWAYS has Wednesday updates on holiday-weeks.
Although if you're not from the U.S....I could see why it would be weird...

Woah, so to get the album artwork it sends my list of songs to apple? what if I have an advance copy of an album from my friends band that I don't want apple to have? What about all those people who download albums, are they gonna get in trouble??
There's a disclaimer when your first open iTunes 7 that basically says the information sent to Apple will not be used for any other purpose other than to get album art.
You can turn off the option under Preferences.
I also like how they've integrated the iPod updates into iTunes without having to do the updates seperately.
Just wondering where the new 1.2 update is. I'm anxious to get it loaded on my 5G and get PacMan downloaded.

Isn't a wired keyboard required when initially setting up the computer?
Not for the Apple wireless keyboard.

It's appropriate that Toys'r'Us would carry the iPad 2, an overpriced toy.
Right, which is why Fortune 500 companies, education, and the medical industry is quickly adopting them. Maybe you need to open your mind a little to possibilities rather than obsess over one small aspect of the iPad.

Yep, I'm one of them. Not to de-rail the thread, but I live about two blocks from a tiny tornado that popped down in the Birmingham area. No damage at my house, but three streets over there are no standing trees or power poles.
As for Tuscaloosa, jeez. I've never seen footage like this except for on Discovery Channel, in places like tornado alley. In the lower left hand corner you'll see my old law school, and behind it about a half-mile is the main Tuscaloosa hospital, DCH.
I'm so naive. I didn't think tornados like this were real, at least anywhere outside of known "tornado alley" kinds of places. Just awful.
Tuscaloosa tornado video (http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2011/04/28/nat.alabama.tornado.cnn?hpt=T1)
Glad you're okay. Aside from the horror of losing loved ones or injuries, I can't imagine having my home destroyed.

I just upgraded to CS5 a few months ago for $600. The 5.5 upgrade would cost another $400. Adobe is easily my least favorite company in the world.
Just like an iPhone, you really want to get it at (or soon after) release to get the max "value" before it gets superseded!

firewire 800 also. nice :)
Why 1394b at 800 Mbps when eSATA at 3000 Mbps is available?
Apple missed the boat on the external storage front here.... It had a chance to be a leader, but instead is still pushing 1394.

I know we've overdosed on speculation recently, but the MacRumors live transcript from the keynote today contained the following line (from Steve I believe):
10:24 am lots more announcements during the next week
best to just wait and see...... They may not be public announcements but announcements made to developers at the conference under NDA.

Good catch. Guess I would have found it too if I had seen the original picture. Where can I find the original picture of that?

It doesn't seem silly to me at all. What is the point of upgrading...It certainly is silly. People UPGRADING to Vista, as you just said, aren't going to buy the full retail $399 box. That's stupid. They are going to buy the Upgrade or oem.
It's true that retail box upgrades are a small fraction of Windows sales, but this only goes to show how wary Windows users are of upgrading, and that the vast majority will only buy into the newest version of Windows when it comes pre-installed on a new PC -- IOW, when they have no other choice.
One of the many ironies here is that we're forever hearing about how Apple shafts their customers with high prices, but when Microsoft does it in an even more naked and obvious way, people fall all over themselves to excuse it. Now that's silly!I think M$FT completely sucks as a company. They are a necessary evil that I can deal with (just like many other corporations) and if they piss me off too much I will stop purchasing their products like I've done with other companies.
The problem with so many Mac appologists is that they are incapable of having an honest debate. You and snowy could rightly argue against the $259 upgrade price of Vista Ultimate or the ~$180 OEM price of Vista ultimate but you don't. You and others like you would rather be disingenous and go on and on about the $399 retail box version that very few will buy.
If people are upgrading from XP to Vista they will buy the software at the upgrade price or the oem price.

That sounds like it makes sense, but does ATT have LTE coverage? or will they by October?
AT&T is going to be busy revamping T-Mobile's towers, and they still have not upgraded there current system's for more bar's in more place's .
I've been in NYC where there supposed to be up to date and the latest technology, reset my iPhone so I was on there towers down there and still had 3 dropped calls , my friend who is Verizon has NEVER had a dropped call, either with there black berry or iPhone.
If Verizon would update there towers to all LTE I'd port over as soon as a LTE iPhone comes out but for now I'm still using a 3G iPhone and seriously thinking of going to a pay as you go till Apple, Verizon, & AT&T get there act together and start using technology of today and not the past, easier said than done but if they want to do it they will and soon.
Hopefully before the economy tanks out again

Surely Apple can't combine everything into something like http://www.macnn.com/blogs/?p=98.
Or can they?
I normally don't pay attention to Apple patent applications, but this one's a doozie!
Everything from 100% full screen to virtual keys, to selecting different modalities depending on orientation(!), to sensitivity to force of touch, to squeezing, to miniDVD drive, to ....
WOW! :eek:
<edit:>
Or maybe it's really the iTablet? Larger form factor than an iPod? They talk about various operating systems. Maybe it'll be OS X?
</edit>
Yea. VERY interesting. i think Apple is just messing with us at this point. lol

lol... Comments are priceless:
No kidding -- kinda reads like the iPad comments from last year, except instead of six pages there are probably hundreds for iPad. Weird looking at those forum posts and not recognizing any of the posters and seeing some labeled as "guest".
Some guy named "Beholder of Truth" really nailed it on why the iPod would be revolutionary. People probably called him an "Apple Fanboy" or whatever the 2001 equivalent of that was (one guy called him a "Tool").
Very amusing reading those comments.

Nothing more complicated than a big ar$e iPad, higher at the back than at the front for viewing angle. Ergonomically less complex than a pencil and paper.
I'm more interested in how to cool the thing, but the music electronics industry have been making keyboards and powered mixers for decades, so somebody knows how.

I actually did get confirmation that my battery qualified. Took me awhile to get onto the page, but it finally worked. After that, it let me fill out a form to send me a new battery.
I'm not too bummed this has happened; after all, my battery is only holding about 90% of its original charge. However, it's funny that I've already had a battery recalled for my 18-month old PowerBook (15-inch) so this will be the third battery for me.

Maybe it had nothing to do with money at all. Maybe "wife said no" because hubby is obsessed with gadgets and the Internet, and therefore pays no attention to wife, kids, dog or fish.
That said, Apple may not have necessarily helped with family by sending it back to hubby for free. All they did was undermine the wife's better judgment.
I really hope that's sarcasm.
Please tell me that's sarcasm ... please?

I like the Beatles, though I seldom listen to their music. Lots of better and more recent stuff to listen to as far as I'm concerned. But there are lots and lots of people that will buy mp3's of all their music as soon as it is available legally from a download service.
They've just changed the single chart rules in the UK, so that all downloads sales count - previously the song had to be available on cd single as well for it to count. The general consensus is that when the Beatles are available for download they will easily occupy all of the top 10 single positions.
Again, not my cup of tea but I think it sums up just how big it will be once someone does license their catalog.
I was waiting for the 'we've licensed the Beatles' announcement after he'd played some of their songs as well. Though thinking about it, that would be done at a separate announcement, when Apple need some easy pr.
