I would like to see a Woodcrest based Powermac replacement and a developer release of Leopard.
Anything else will be butter.

Depends on the agreement. It could be released on 12/31/12. Everyone is so up on this . I think it sucks. There is no way this gets released while SJ is alive.:apple:
It would make sense that Steve's been told he's only got X amount of time to live and he wants this published after his death. I'd have thought he'd not want to see it released before his death.
It's sad to see...really sad. I cant say I'm a huge fan of some of his actions, but I guess it cant be denied that the guy has had a remarkable roller coaster ride with Apple, NeXTSTEP, etc.
My fear is that Apple may have unknowingly positioned itself in a bad place for this. The company has clearly lost interest in the Mac side of things. I just think that once Steve parts ways, people will slowly drop off and switch away from Mac's. They have their iPhone/Pod/Pad and then have no need for what will essentially be an expensive, poorly maintained OS.
I guess nobody will know the outcome so there's no point taking in my speculations.

This could be very smart.
The accuracy of antenna-gps is not that good. So in a large city, you could be off 1 whole street. It just isn't accurate enough to position you where you are.
BUT if they make a database of signal strengths.. so they can calculate more precise where you are.... than it would be more useful.
The fact that there are no more than a hand full of different antennas in Apple iPhone line wil help this. Android could never do this, because the antenna of a samsung could work much better than from HTC.
Example:
10 people are logged on to the same antenna, but 5 of them have a weaker strength than the others... Now we know they are somewhere else. So if you record this for a long time.... you get a better map of antennas, signal strengths, and locations. It gets better by every call you make.
Its a lot of work, but a big selling point for not going cross platform.

I look just like Johnny Johnny - when my Mum saw the Apple home page (I'd left it as the home page on my folks' computer last time I went there) she rang me up asking why I was on the front of the Apple website.
Anyhoo, I'm not going but it's going to be another epic staying awake event with daylight saving pushing the keynote time to ~5:30am.
Hey chundles, what part of oz are you in (or are you in NZ then?). my iCal entry shows this as 4am (AEST) so I wanna be sure I haven't messed the time up somehow? (or do you mean 5:30am by the end of the keynote?)

I just received info from a friend who works for apple in a 'new product marketing' capactiy. He started work this month.
Cell phone coming on the 12th.
Dude, I have it even better. My 3rd cousin's friend's aunt's dog's sister's owner's dad's brother's kid's friend's dad works for Apple and gave me an iPhone to play with. I have it right now, it's awesome :eek:

I don't think it would be a surprise to anyone to hear there's a generous mark-up on Apple products. It's for the consumer to decide if that's worth paying for or not. There are market forces after all, if it was too expensive, not enough people would buy them - but that doesn't seem to be a problem they're having at the moment.
Still, they are more than the sum of their parts, other companies are free to pick those parts off the shelf and put together something the same or better than the iMac for less. None of the competitors have impressed me with their attempts so far though. I'd be interested to see the cost of the 27" IPS display as well, doesn't strike me as a bargain bucket component.
Good post.

My number one concern. I need a pda with my phone, and if Apple's not doing it, I'm stuck.
Wouldnt it be great if apple iphone had features of a phone, pda, and ipod and if it can be used as a modem for a laptop to access the internet?

Thank you all for your help so far! I'm getting closer to some conclusions thanks to you!
The speed of my internet connection has been brought up a couple times, I have a T1 connection and plenty of bandwidth.
I've quoted a few replies and have questions for some of you who have helped a lot already.
Please bear with me as I ask some questions:
For remote access, how will remote users be authenticated ? what bandwidth will they have available at their end and at the server end ? how many concurrent users will there be ? what availability do you need for remote access
For web browser access I would probably go for the Barracuda SSL VPN device.
1. I was thinking that I could set up FTP access to the data because the max concurrent users would be around 10.
2. If this is not possible what advantages does the Barracuda device provide?
You could get some sort of rack-mounted array that can support 48+ drives (assuming a bunch of 1TB drives in the array, although you could go with 2TB drives as well). You can link several smaller cases together and connect them to a Mac Pro with additional hardware that supports RAID. That assumes you want to go the Mac route for the software side. With Lion merging the serve OS that could make things a lot easier.
How many users are you planning on supporting? Are you planning on doing more than just hosting video files? Email? Calendar? Web services? (what sort of Internet connection you have plays in here as well). If it's just a couple users, your server probably doesn't need to be a high end Mac Pro. Still, look at what you are buying. This could easily be a $25,000 plus project. And don't forget the whole backup strategy which can be expensive in terms of equipment and more expensive in terms of disciplined time investment.
1. I'm wondering what type of rack-mounted array you recommend assuming I get a Mac Pro.
2. I'm looking at about ten users max, usually only a few. How much RAM do you recommend equipping the Mac Pro with assuming I get at least a quad-core.
http://www.activestorage.com/activeraid.php#tab5
fill it with 2tb drives and get a mac mini server or a mac pro server or eqv for remote (with a fat pipe if you don't have one already)
or use this (32tb option) for the storage either one of these or the active raid will do fine
http://www.g-technology.com/products...-es-pro-xl.cfm
http://www.g-technology.com/products/g-speed-fc-xl.cfm
� These look great, but I'm thinking I might be able to build something to meet my needs for less money. I have the skills to put a server together and set it up, this is just my first time creating a rig from the ground up. Thoughts?

I'm in much the same situation ... totally happy with my base 13" MBA, but lusting after the 11" as well. In fact, I bought - and just returned - the 11" "ultimate," thinking that I would be so happy with it that I could give my 13" to my wife.
Well, I wasn't. I'd probably have just opted to exchange for the base 11" and put some cash back in my pocket were it not for the strong June refresh rumors.
I think we've hit the nail on the head in this thread: The 11" has that "get and go" feel that is still lacking in the 13". Now if it just had a faster processor and a bit better screen, I'd be happy making the switch.

Reading that story, and this thread, it's easy to see why police probably want nothing to do with any domestic dispute. I genuinely pity them! :)
The number of cops killed, during one of these "domestic" calls, used to be frightful.
They know better now.

While a neat technology, it's a bit of a stretch to really call this "glasses-free 3D". Unlike the 3DS, where actual illustion of depth is present, this is just changing the perspective on a rendered 3D object on the screen based on head position. The image that the left and right eye sees are the same, thus no actual "3D" effect.
I find it a bit of a stretch to say one kind of optical illusion is "real 3D" while another optical illusion is "not really 3D."
I get that they're different and I understand their strengths and weaknesses (really I do) but let's not forget that they're ALL just illusions of 3D space stuck to a 2D plane.
You don't have depth perception?
I dunno what his deal is, but my mother-in-law only has one working eye. These things are neat for her because she can see them whereas she can't experience the traditional glasses-based kind at all.

I'm not sure how many people would want a smaller macbook.
Depends on what you mean by smaller. If you mean thinner, lighter and generally less bulky then count me in.

the most hilarious thing though is that the new slim 360 comes with a "Kinect - port" ... wh-h-what ? so the installed userbase of 30-40 millions is essentially worthless ?... seriously that's such a obvious ridiculous error ... yo ucan't make this **** up
and am i the only one who finds the similiarties between "Kinect" and the eye toy "Kinetics" game to be rather idotic ?
and 'Wii' was a stupid name first but at least it rolls of the tongue easily even in a german conversation ... Kinect .. not so much
