Support NeoGAF

[StrikerObi]

Like wise, my 1.25GHz Powerbook G4 will question it's existance if I even think of running Leopard on it.

Even at 1.5 I think mine would just keel over and die.

I really want a MacBook Pro for the graphics... I need StarCraft II, but the pro is going to be so expensive. Maybe I should just get a Macbook instead...

 

[cjdunn]

Ah, Boot Camp.

And it doesn't sound like they're sinking Parallels & VMWare but "complementing" them.

 

[djkimothy]

Get an iMac. They should be adequate for your needs. And maybe you'll see new ones today?

 

[Kung Fu Jedi]

Hopefully Leopard will scale to the hardware like all versions of OSX. It'll run on old hardware, you just might miss out on the flashy stuff.

 

[yayaba]

The only real PC/MAC game I would want is Starcraft II. I don't know if my Macbook will cut it so I'll probably game on my Media Center PC.

 

[Jaagen]

The new Finder system looks great. Of course, Cover flow is going to suck system resources(I hope they optimize everything right) like it does on iTunes on my PC, but I like beeing able to "flow" through all my PDF pages. More games for Mac is great too.

EDIT: Spaces is going to be a vital feature to me. I study Media, so on our family mac, I can f.ex have my own desktop with my programs running, while the other members can use the other spaces without disrupting my work. I think it will be great.

 

[Phoenix]

Cmon Apple, do it... do it... DO IT!

 

[djkimothy]

The new Finder system looks great. Of course, Cover Low is going to suck system resources(I hope they optimize everything right) like it does on iTunes on my PC, but I like beeing able to "flow" through all my PDF pages. More games for Mac is great too.

I find cover flow to perform nicely on iTunes on my G4. I have faith it'll perform the same.

Cmon Apple, do it... do it... DO IT!

WTF?

 

[Phoenix]

Ah, Boot Camp.

And it doesn't sound like they're sinking Parallels & VMWare but "complementing" them.

Apple has no interest in killing off either Parallels or VMWare. It would be stupid for them to even try to be honest.

 

[cjdunn]

#7 Spaces (meh)
#8 Dashboard

 

[Kung Fu Jedi]

Cmon Apple, do it... do it... DO IT!

What are you waiting for them to "do"?

 

[White Man]

Cmon Apple, do it... do it... DO IT!

SAY IT'S AVAILABLE NOW, THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO HEAR!!!!!

 

[infiniteloop]

Cmon Apple, do it... do it... DO IT!

Dashboard !

No, it won't. it's all offloaded to the GPU.

 

[StrikerObi]

I'm thinking of it but I really like being able to sit on my couch with my laptop. I know it's crazy, but part of me wants to get an iMac and (if it ever exists) an ultra protable... or maybe an iPhone.

 

[bluemax]

Hey Spaces! Another feature from another operating system.

Cupertino has their copy machines in full effect!

 

[zou]

I just hope there's gonna be one more new feature. The last couple ones we've seen already last year.

 

[Jaagen]

No, it won't. it's all offloaded to the GPU.

That's great. I hope they introduce GPU acceleration in CF for iTunes PC too. Sometimes, the CF is just laggy as hell.

 

[syllogism]

These secret features are all terribly exciting

 

[cjdunn]

Yeah , it's sounding like Steve opened with the sexy (New Finder, Desktop).

 

[PotatoeMasher]

Movie Theatres widget looks sexy. Could that be the new UI?

 

[Jaagen]

These secret features are all terribly exciting

Heh..yeah. calling them secret features was a bit over the edge, but hey! I like what I've seen so far.

 

[Kung Fu Jedi]

Yeah, nothing really "secret" here. Still some cool stuff though.

 

[infiniteloop]

I bet #10 is Mail.


Lol

 

[djkimothy]

Ok, iChat is not for me...

 

[StrikerObi]

#9 - iChat. Who cares. We all use Adium.

 

[White Man]

I'm sure we can count on 10 being something interesting. Or it will just be a cheap segue into iPhone.

iChat, blah, support MSN protocol and I'll actually try out the app.

 

[cjdunn]

I'm guessing #10 is Time Machine... again.


Edit: Oh snap, Mail has been MIA!

 

[deadhorse32]

Opera called http://widgets.opera.com/widgetize/

 

[Jaagen]

But there's some features that I wont use, though. Like iChat for instance. Only support for two client formats is really, really bad.

Come on, Apple, at least bring in support for the most popular formats, like MSN and YIM.

 

[zou]

#10 is gonna be todos

 

[djkimothy]

I'm guessing #10 is Time Machine...

Noooo! We already know about that feature. :/

 

[Futureman]

#10's gotta be ZFS.

 

[yayaba]

#10 better not be Mail. I don't even use that (or iChat for that matter... Adium ftw).

 

[shantyman]

That's great. I hope they introduce GPU acceleration in CF for iTunes PC too. Sometimes, the CF is just laggy as hell.

Let me clarify- that's my understanding of how it works, like Aero in Vista. Shared Memory GPUs obviously will have an affect on system performance.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

can't wait for a vid of this from apple

 

[White Man]

But there's some features that I wont use, though. Like iChat for instance. Only support for two client formats is really, really bad.

Tell me about it. At least let it support user-made plugins so somebody could effectively hack support in.

 

[shantyman]

#10's gotta be ZFS.

I don't think that is something he would highlight in a keynote.

 

[yayaba]

Hm, no ZFS?

 

[fse]

Opera called http://widgets.opera.com/widgetize/

 

[cjdunn]

If #10 is ZFS - MEGATON!!
If it's Mail or Time Machine, then the Leopard portion of the keynote is mostly bomba.

 

[Sean]

Hm, no ZFS?

ZFS is in Leopard, it probably will not be mentioned in the keynote though.

 

[Crisis]

I don't think that is something he would highlight in a keynote.

At WWDC? He probably will.

 

[Kung Fu Jedi]

Doesn't the new iChat allow you to share stuff while chatting. For instance, you can fire up a Keynote presentation and walk someone through it while you do video chat and such? Could be an interesting feature. Suppose to be very easy to integrate all kinds of apps into it.

 

[bluemax]

Only the staunchest mac elitists use iChat, everyone with a brain uses Adium.

 

[Jaagen]

Let me clarify- that's my understanding of how it works, like Aero in Vista. Shared Memory GPUs obviously will have an affect on system performance.

We'll see in the final version.

 

[djkimothy]

There's still 30 minutes left of the keynote. PLenty of time for other announcments.

 

[Vyer]

Don't think I'd use iChat much, but there's a couple cool little features with it now.

 

[Jaagen]

Tell me about it. At least let it support user-made plugins so somebody could effectively hack support in.

Knowing Apple, they probably won't. Aw, well, let's just wait for cam support in Adium.

 

[shantyman]

At WWDC? He probably will.

No, I don't think he will. This keynote is for the press, not just developers. Otherwise, he would talk about nothing but under the hood improvements.

EDIT: See demo of iChat features- that makes my point right there.
