"not the only place to get apps but the best place"

oh man

it's a smart move

so was bundling IE

It'll just be like steam, but for utilities?

Installing apps on the mac was crazy hard before.

i'm sure developers will be thrilled at this news

Well, I guess it's a new channel to sell on, but it also is one where Apple will extract a big piece of their revenue.

full screen! I'm going to have to upgrade my ram

Beginning of the end for Mac OS?

it'll give some independent Mac developers a wider audience for their stuff

yes, like i say, i'm sure they'll be thrilled

and it's optional, so what could they possibly have to complain about? if you don't like it, don't put your app there, right?

How long until you'll have to jailbreak your mac?

lol

still gotta do the whole one more thing . . . new MacBook Air!!!

I also bet you we'll see Facebook integration w/ Ping very soon

jesus ksh

I'm seeing a lot of "oh man"s but not sure what it's all about. Cliff's Notes please?

no 11"? gtf

wait is he just reannouncing the MBA?

they've just announced something that will, at the least, completely transform the business of software development on the only good end-user OS, and your response is

lol

Ho NICE

hiyo

boom and now I'm broke

Want

fullscreen apps are great bait for windows trolls

don't understand fullscreen as a selling point. whole point of the development of the gui was to get around that. if you generally have that much trouble with distraction then, i dunno, stop reading lifehacker articles about fullscreen text editors and do some work.

Pricing: 11.6-inch/64 GB at $999, 128 GB at $1199. 13-inch/128 GB at $1299, 256 GB at $1599. All with 2 GB of RAM. All available today.

they seem to have finally understood what an ultraportable laptop is, right after they've obsoleted ultraportable laptops. odd move. don't expect the ipad/macbook line to look much like this in two years.

ooft, nice pricing too

how do people afford these things!

was just going to say, facetiously, not sure what these can do that my ipad can't, esp. with only 2gb non-expandable memory.

fullscreen is really useful in aperture, i can see there might be other times that it helps: it's about making better use of the screen space than distraction really.

will almost certainly get one of these next year.

i'll allow it.

To get to 30-day standby, they're going to have to hibernate to SSD. Not sure how that translates to "instant-on."

don't think so. before hibernate was added (2005?) they got 30 days of instant-on sleep in RAM

my 2000 ibook could do it, for example

http://www.apple.com/mac/app-store/ <---explains itunes 10 logo, should have seen it coming really

Like the little USB recovery stick, though:

xxpost - My 2000 iBook doesn't get 30 days, especially with 2GB of RAM. It gets more like 5 days (and that's with a new battery).

your 2000 ibook has 2GB of RAM?

i dunno, stop reading lifehacker articles about fullscreen text editors and do some work.

hahaha *guiltily nods*

sorry, mine is a 2006 MacBook, not an iBook.
