I don't think its finalized, its just that the disk in the image at WWDC 2005 representing Leopard was a place holder since they didn't really come up with a concept for the Disk art yet. Just showing the development pace of the OS which was the main focus of the conference.
Touché ;) Still, I really think it will be released this year so I hope they have all the artwork finished.
Just saw a verizon commercial.. announcing a new phone. It was black, seemed to have an ipod-like click wheel, with a retractable keyboard in a vertical format.. and something about being announced 8.9.06..... do you suppose????

And as far as Safari being the fastest browser, you believe in ads way too much...
No, I believe the benchmarks...
http://service.futuremark.com/peacekeeper/browserStatistics.action
You'll notice that only the Chrome beta is faster than Safari 4, and only on one specific processor. Everywhere else Safari wins.
And when has there ever been a Safari ad?

This is for developers, they come to see what kind of software they need to develop. They don't really care for hardware, and they don't pay this much just to see the announcement of the iPhone, something they could have seen online or just read about. This is all about discussing what Apple wants developers to do in their programming.
Please, its about both. For you cannot have software development without the hardware.
iOS 5 seems to be a draw this time. Sure hope there is enough there to make folks feel like they got their monies worth.

Its similar with Tesco in the UK, they might not be as dominant as Walmart in the US but they aren't that far off it.
Actually, I think Tesco's share of the grocery business in the UK is much larger than Walmart's share of the retail business in the US.
And the worst thing is, it's growing at a more alarming rate than Walmart.
(And it's looking to expand to the US, from West to East, in the very near future...!)

I seriously doubt this is a major concern ATM for home users with secured wifi access points (and by that, I mean wifi APs that filter MAC addresses). In order for someone to use this exploit, they would undoubtedly have to be on your network..

Exactly what I was saying. Apple is based in Cupertino, California. It's not even 8 am here yet. Usually stuff happens between 9am-12pm
When they announced the changes to the MBP C2D, it was done by now.. if you go back to the posting on MacRumors, (http://www.macrumors.com/pages/2006/10/20061024083823.shtml) it was done at 8:38am EST (5:38AM Cupertino time).

You have to consider the problems that Apple has had with heat and portables of late. There would likely be heat issues with such a portable, which makes it even more plausible that Apple won't make such a portable.
The MBP core 2 duo, which just came out. has very good heat protection. it is nowhere as hot as the powerbook or version A, macbook pro.
I am sure that the macbook will also be a much better version of what is out now.

In Brazil any import has about 80% in taxes. That is the way to industrialize the country and make people and companies build the products "in house".
Building the iPad there would be a very good move since for the huge population and cheap professional labor.

Think you're imagining it. Have updated my MB and i still can't hear the fan in normal usage. I expect it will kick in at some time when it decides things are getting a bit hot.
I think the original poster was talking about the speaker volume, and I happen to agree - I think my speaker volume is slightly louder.

All I care about right now is if this will run on a Mac pro 1,1. And if so, and it is using all cores finally, will there be a big performance increase on my system over my current FCP6.
If the answer is yes to both I'm in. I won't be impressed however if they artificially lock out older Macs.

That is just sad. It's a developer conference, not a media event (it just happens to have one at the start when Apple shows off all the new software). I wouldn't go to WWDC even if I was given free tickets because I couldn't benefit from the conference as much as a real developer (I doubt messing around with XCode for fun counts). Trying to resell tickets like that hurts the platform.
It is only 2 so far so it hasn't evolved into a major scalping problem just yet.
Maybe a dev that was away from the net for half a day really needed to go and missed registration.
I know after last year, I didn't dare wait however if work had been really busy today I wouldn't have had a chance to register in time.

What's fairly obvious is that if ordinary people were in a position to make decisions concerning their community/country/state they would make a far better job than the "expert" economists,legislators,businesspeople and so on who do very well by making a complete balls up of the lives of people in individual countries.
(-885 billion and 112.5% of SS deficit solved)
I think the professionals are better educated to make those decisions than we are. It's just one of those things that's easier said than done.
For me, among other things I'd raise taxes on the rich, cut military by killing expensive but marginal projects like experimental weaponry, temporarily lower funding for technological research related projects for NASA and Green tech. Just from that, I'd have the wealthy, Republicans, the military-industrial complex, scientists, and environmentalists all trying to gut my budget proposal. The political realities outweigh the fact it looks simple on paper.

I've been very disappointed with these MacBooks. All of the problems I've had and all of the problems I've heard about have proven, in my opinion, that Apple's quality is no longer what it used to be.
Apple charges a nice premium for their machines, one which I am willing to pay, assuming I get a better quality computer, but I don't believe this is the case.
Apple's reluctance to replace problematic MacBooks just adds to the issue.
I would suggest that Apple implement some quality control for their MacBook line, but we all know what happens when they do. ;) :rolleyes:

That said, I wish there were rumors about the white MacBook. I mean, there's been updates this soon before. The current model isn't too bad, though. :)

People keep mentioning this.. does anyone have a link to the add that specifically challenges hackers?
No, not a direct challenge. I'm sorry, I was using hyperbole to drive a point home. Apple's not obscure anymore. Even though they control a small portion of the total PC market, I'm seeing more Apple commercials on TV and online than I ever have. They're extremely high visibility now.
And as for the hacker challenge, many believe that the new commercials present a "smug" image of Apple, and one of the commercials specifically touches on the nonexistence of Mac viruses. Now I realize that this is not exactly an open invitation to challenge the OSX 20-ton gorilla, but to some hackers, this does indeed make Apple a target.

I love the "Apple tax is out of control" straw man argument.
Very recently I was given a new MS Windows laptop at work. It is a HP EliteBook 8440p laptop. Keep in mind that I knew nothing about the laptop before it was given to me. I am looking at it and thinking, great I was given another low budget laptop to use at work. From the appearance, it looks like a $500 laptop that was built in the 1990's. After doing some digging, this thing is $1300 the way it is configured (starts at $900; Yes, I know this is the MSRP). Talk about a tax that is out of control.
It has basically a unusable trackpad, too small and because the laptop is so thick uncomfortable after several minutes of use. I ended up hooking up a mouse.
I love all the extra lights on it, one for the hard drive status, two for power status, two for WiFi status, one for the trackpad status, three for the volume. I also love the inovative way that HP decided to lightup the keyboard, a popout light on the screen frame. Maybe the lack of a lighted keyboard would have drained the 4 hours battery too quickly that is included in this $1300 laptop.
When I first opened the lid on the laptop I got a good laugh seeing a "intel CORE i5 vPro" sticker that was placed crooked next to trackpad. What is it with all the lights and stickers on these Windows laptops. Someone can't tell if there laptop is on or if the hard drive is accessible.
Hmm, let me see this or the 13" Macbook Pro or even the 13" MacBook.

So here we have a bunch of guys complaining that Adobe likes to take your money and that its overpriced and what not...pretty weird since i don't see you guys making complaints when Apple is making you pay twice sometimes 3 times the price of what hardware is actually worth...especially in the Mac Pro department....nobody complains when Apple is giving you crap outdated 2009 video cards in 2010 -2011 computers while expecting you to pay as much in 2011 as you would in 2009.
Just saying that Apple probably has the biggest hypocritical user base of all user bases...always criticizing something but never Apple because Apple is the best wright...this could be the case in the past but these days the only thing Apple is great at is releasing poorly build and full of error machines.
on the Adobe thing, just go ahead and download it already and download a nice album for whilst your working, maybe a movie to relax in the evening if the price is to high, have fun getting stuff for free lives expensive enough as it is...everybody here probably did some pirating but hey lets all act as if we are 100% legit LOL, its not as if Adobe's CEO is going to starve from hunger...besides that i'm totally pro piracy :eek: yup...why should the arrogant west be the only ones whom have access to good software...how about the talented guys/kids...in poor country's whom hardly have enough money to buy food...why shouldn't they be allowed to use the software, watch new movies, listen to nice tunes...prices should be fair, as long as prices ain't fair there can't be fairplay in the game

3D is so 2010-ish.
Holograms people... we want holograms.
Beyond 3D and holograms, I want an iPad that replaces Facetime with a real Transporter Room app. I want to be able to beam friends and relatives to my current location and time continuum.
Apple, stay ahead of the game.
