stet, Monday, 10 June 2013 18:54 (ten years ago) link

all I want is to be able to open playlists in their own windows in iTunes again. That's all.

why dont they just buy spotify?

Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Monday, 10 June 2013 18:57 (ten years ago) link

looks like iCloud is still going to suck, then.

stet, Monday, 10 June 2013 18:58 (ten years ago) link

If your phone has been stolen, if a thief tries to turn off Find My iPhone (or wipe the device), they won't be able to reactivate it unless they know your iCloud user name and password.

this is kinda huge

So no new products then :(

i don't even have an internet (Hurting 2), Monday, 10 June 2013 19:24 (ten years ago) link

Any word yet on which features will make it to the iPhone 4?

toby, Monday, 10 June 2013 19:30 (ten years ago) link

the pro looks like a terrorist bomb from a missing season of 24

needs a chunky LED red countdown clock inside

Britain's Obtusest Shepherd (Alan), Monday, 10 June 2013 19:38 (ten years ago) link

apple stock basically flat (down less than 1%)

i don't even have an internet (Hurting 2), Monday, 10 June 2013 19:50 (ten years ago) link

the pro is cool looking and I bet it will be a surprise hit. decline of the desktop is overstated.

i don't even have an internet (Hurting 2), Monday, 10 June 2013 19:59 (ten years ago) link

Also there's 2-odd years of pent-up demand for this thing

stet, Monday, 10 June 2013 20:03 (ten years ago) link

if i had the throwaway income i'd definitely grab one

Nhex, Monday, 10 June 2013 20:09 (ten years ago) link

I mean it's probably more for recording engineers, filmmakers, animators, etc., but it seems like a badass machine.

how do you upgrade the ram in that mac pro?

dan selzer, Monday, 10 June 2013 20:13 (ten years ago) link

the cover slides up and you put it in the central atrium

new Mac Pro looks like those canisters of bioweapons from Prometheus #makesuthink

My god. Pure ideology. (ey), Monday, 10 June 2013 20:26 (ten years ago) link

do wonder what the expansion options are going to be though

sleepingbag, Monday, 10 June 2013 20:26 (ten years ago) link

it's tiny!

the late great, Monday, 10 June 2013 20:30 (ten years ago) link

Just thunderbolt. Apparently there's thunderbolt PCIe enclosures, so that covers that.

http://gizmodo.com/all-the-new-ios-features-your-old-iphone-wont-get-512359950

looks like airdrop, mainly, as well as the siri/camera stuff that doesn't work already

scream blahula scream (govern yourself accordingly), Monday, 10 June 2013 20:39 (ten years ago) link

sort of rmde at Apple making the Mac Pro a design statement. JFC, just give me a simple box desktop that I can add cheap, fast storage to and run OS X.

Not regretting a switch to Android via HTC One vs. iPhone 4s I had.

Kiarostami bag (milo z), Monday, 10 June 2013 20:45 (ten years ago) link

agreeing with the people on twitter who are eh about the icons

markers, Monday, 10 June 2013 20:46 (ten years ago) link

xp you don't want something quieter or cooler?

the late great, Monday, 10 June 2013 20:46 (ten years ago) link

i can see the argument that it's not worth the marginal cost or whatever

the late great, Monday, 10 June 2013 20:46 (ten years ago) link

that's a misuse of the term, i know

the late great, Monday, 10 June 2013 20:47 (ten years ago) link

yeah the wieldiness of this thing vs. the complete unwieldiness of box pcs is hugely appealing to me

i think i meant marginal return

i would be interested to hear what some engineers think of cooling from the centre vs cooling down a flat plane

the late great, Monday, 10 June 2013 20:50 (ten years ago) link

I'd like something quieter and cooler, sure. But I'll settle for noisy and boring if I can have an affordable desktop with 8TB of perfectly fast storage for ~$320 and a desktop GPU to aid Lightroom/PS.

Kiarostami bag (milo z), Monday, 10 June 2013 20:54 (ten years ago) link

so so tiny, yes. i expect i could actually lift one without doing my back in.

Britain's Obtusest Shepherd (Alan), Monday, 10 June 2013 20:55 (ten years ago) link

how much do you think this thing will cost?

the late great, Monday, 10 June 2013 20:57 (ten years ago) link

2k maybe. who knows

markers, Monday, 10 June 2013 20:58 (ten years ago) link

not "~$320"

markers, Monday, 10 June 2013 20:58 (ten years ago) link

to clarify, storage for $320 - 4 x 2GB WD Green drives @ $80 apiece.
vs. USB 3 enclosures and all those hassles or paying for Thunderbolt

Kiarostami bag (milo z), Monday, 10 June 2013 21:00 (ten years ago) link

yeah price of thunderbolt is kinda nuts.

the late great, Monday, 10 June 2013 21:02 (ten years ago) link

but i have all of my photos, films and music on external storage so i am willing to pay, even though that means i'm stuck with 2tb for now

the late great, Monday, 10 June 2013 21:03 (ten years ago) link

just out of curiosity what do you think is a comparable affordable PC milo?

the late great, Monday, 10 June 2013 21:04 (ten years ago) link

Absolutely comparable or good enough?

A good desktop doesn't have to be 12+ cores or anything like that. There are a ton of Core i7 desktops that slot in between iMac/Mac Mini-quality and this Mac Pro, for $900-1200.

It's been the complaint about Apple forever, of course, but the way they've gone with the Mac Pro and the 27" iMac and the laptop line just highlights their complete disdain for that desktop market.
More of a problem now because so many of the laptops they sell cap out at 256GB of HD space and you've got to pay mad dollars for more.

It's not free, but this might help: http://dougscripts.com/apps/playlistassistapp.php

iWork on iCloud is actually pretty nice. That guy's presentation really didn't go down as well as it should've, probably because everyone was wondering wth they were doing this if we aren't going to get the APIs ourselves

stet, Monday, 10 June 2013 21:23 (ten years ago) link

"That guy's presentation really didn't go down as well as it should've"

he kept having to remind people 'this is in a browser, COME ON'
