"multiple people holding up laptops for video feed of room - spinning around for the full view"

Damn, someone post a feed!

[dkeane]

how is that possible that we don't get live video streaming ?

It's probably incase something goes wrong. Then they can edit that part out. Just my guess.


HA -
The lights are dimming! Applause. John Hodgman is on the screen: "I have a personal message from Steve Jobs. Just relax that brain for a while. Let's let the Mac users experience compatibility problems. Tend to your compost pile, your poetry, your art. You can help out on Vista, we can use your help there. Whatever else you've been working on, you can stop now. We went to the Big Island together, lots of karaoke."

It's sort of sad that they have to poke fun of their competition to get attention.

 

[Chittagong]

Oooh teh suspense!

I just LOVE Apple keynotes. I wathced today as a warmup the original iBook, iPod and iMac introductions. And the funeral of OS9.

Please be good please

Nice!

 

[DECK'ARD]

Mac Pro

Same case, dual optical drives, Woodcrest (Xeon) processors

 

[Kung Fu Jedi]

Woodcrest it is! Nice performance gain. Single processor?

 

[McFly]

1.6 to 2.1x faster than the G5 quad

Fredi

 

[pxleyes]

wireless mighty mouse, is that even new?

 

[monkeymagic]

It's sort of sad that they have to poke fun of their competition to get attention.

They already have the attention - a good time to poke fun at the competition I'd say

 

[Prospero]

10:06-10:08 wasn't it for Macbook Pro, I hope.

 

[White Man]

10:10 am big jump in performance
10:10 am compare to G5

10:10 am every Mac Pro gets 2 of them
10:10 am amazing processor
10:09 am up to 3x a Xeon


Is this saying every Mac Pro gets 2 of the processors, or 2 cores?

 

[DECK'ARD]

Woodcrest it is! Nice performance gain. Single processor?

2 of them

 

[Kung Fu Jedi]

wireless mighty mouse, is that even new?

BlueTooth Might Mouse is like a week or so old.

 

[cvxfreak]

1.6 - 2.1x faster than Power Mac G5 Quad

:O

 

[Nick]

Please be good please

Even if it sucked, you would still say it was awesome.

 

[White Man]

So I am getting my quad core mac pro, then?

 

[McFly]

Ok, time for a new Mac! Can't wait to call the Apple shop tomorrow.

[Nerevar]

It's sort of sad that they have to poke fun of their competition to get attention.

??? Apple has always done this. Hell, their most famous commercial was showing how Apple would allow you to "break free" from the IBM PC.

edit: Jeez, no wonder you can't get a Core 2 processor. Apparently Intel's been shipping them all over to Apple :lol

 

[Kung Fu Jedi]

2 of them

Ahh..the feed I was reading didn't mention two processors. Just duel core.

 

[McFly]

Guess not only Microsoft gets "attacked" today:

MacRum: "usually more expensive" - great product to bust that myth
MacRum: $1000 more to get close from Dell

:lol :lol :lol

[the year 20XX]

Time for everyone to buy a new Apple product? Has it been 3 months already?

 

[pxleyes]

I find this hard to believe.

 

[dkeane]

I wish I didn't have my 2 year old Dual G5, these sound really nice. Good deal too. Damn.

 

[DECK'ARD]

proc speed - all quad, up to 3ghz

It's sort of sad that they have to poke fun of their competition to get attention.

From a marketing standpoint, there's no better time to do it...

256MB? What?

Mistake

 

[Kung Fu Jedi]

Mistake

Nah. It's just a marketing thing. But we all know anyone buying these is going to put in at least a gig or RAM. Bare minimum.

 

[fse]

Mistake

hmmm, interesting

 

[DECK'ARD]

Nah. It's just a marketing thing. But we all know anyone buying these is going to put in at least a gig or RAM. Bare minimum.

It says it comes with a gig.

256MB is the gfx card.

 

[Nerevar]

I find this hard to believe.

they're probably comparing it to what you can buy from Dell "right now", which probably doesn't include any Core 2 Duo processors. Dell likes to clean out their retail channels of old stock before they allow you to buy the new thing.

 

[Kung Fu Jedi]

It says it comes with a gig.

Ahh...ok. Follow you know. Thought you were saying it was a mistake for only having 256MB of RAM, didn't notice it said 1 GB.

 

[White Man]

Looks like they're about ready to start talking about 2007 products and Leopard. (er, wait, my feed appears to be getting wacky)

 

[Musashi Wins!]

Damn, that's hawt.

 

[dkeane]

Wow, really nice stuff....

 

[McFly]

Ouch, another one at MS:

MacRum: What's our competitor been doing for the last 5 years?
MacRum: Vista...
MacRum: Betrand takes stage
MacRum: poking fun at Redmond
MacRum: "Redmond - start your photocopiers"
MacRum: they actually seem to have done that...
MacRum: specific screen shots of Tiger vs Vista
