New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

WWDC sessions times are up. Way more TBCs than the last couple of years, especially in Presido. Bodes well for keynote, I think.

Bugger all for Xcode too. Fingers crossed.

this'll be the first official apple event of the year

in june

lol

last year we had . . . *goes to check*

gawd, so much of my life in the first half of the 90s was structured around Apple events.

there were two: that textbooks thing and "the new ipad"

the last time was in october

Retina MacBook Pro was announced at WWDC last year.

i make the point that apple has done fuck-all interesting things in forever and a fanboy army jumps down my throat

i reckon catch-up apis will be the focus this year

Maybe Cook will have the patience for steadily improving web services cu it seem like Jobs didn't.

our supplier is 100% convinced new Pro hardware is coming next week.

my bingo card: modular mini thunderbolt cube thing

just read that somewhere. That it's totally thunderbolt based.

yeah totally they just took a bunch of thuidnerbolt cables and rolled them into a ball and somehow imbued them with computing power

if it's ready it's gonna be announced next week because why wouldn't you announce a machine that all your developers would want at a developers' conference. though maybe they won't want it if it's a crazy thing

it'll be interesting to see if they shitcan the current mac pro

also what they'll call this

My money is on iAd, NewsstandKit, and PassKit updates!

The new Mac Pro model, expected later this year, is "something really different" according to a video professional who says he spoke with the Mac Pro product manager.

it's belgian

it produces strawberry jam and it wears a hat

loool

Because we’re sharing unlikely Mac Pro stuff that we’d like to see, I’ll add: unified GDDR5 memory!

zip drive

i actually had to plug in a zip drive two days ago. the only way i could do it was to replace the ATA optical drive on an old 1st gen Pro. I really should chuck out the SCSI zip drives i have on the shelf :-/

Ho! Could I maybe borrow one for a bit first? Have lots of stuff on an old LC and no way to get it off.

woah hold up, there are some crazy jerks who might have use for information even if markers is like 'lol'??

i don't have a problem with the mac pro and as someone who follows apple it'll be interesting to see what they come up with

even if i don't plan on getting one anytime soon, if ever

Hoping for external Retina display in a big way. I'll go Asus if I have to, Apple, just you wait.

assuming that means a unified facelift across platforms

two days until we can all go wild together

my current theory is

- retina devices only will get a new helvetica neue light derivative
- gruber will absolutely bloody cream himself
- pre-retina devices won't get the full new look, encouraging people with chicken wire ipads and macs to upgrade

I'm really looking forward to a new look. windows 8 is making Mac OS and iOS look severely dated.

purchases tab in the ipad app store FINALLY has alphabet navigation

also it didn't take 12 years to load this time

I'm about to have a baby so I'm thinking of getting a desktop CPU for the first time in 10 years to do some teleworking. Is this a good time to get an iMac (I already have a MBP and two iPads)? Also is there a way to sync the HDs of the MBP and the iMac when on the same wifi network?

What kind of work do you do? Personally I would recommend getting an external monitor and just plugging in your laptop.

Regular office job. My main concern is ergonomics as I can't really work very long or very hard on a laptop

external monitor and keyboard then. completely syncing two computers is not really an option, and syncing home directories is still really a power user thing (to an extent it shouldn't be).
