New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

Yeah, I definitely need FW.

oh it's 1400 http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/723270-REG/Apple_MC511LL_A_27_iMac_Desktop_Computer.html

that one has the displayport input so you can mirror the display of any computer you plug into it (use it as an external display, basically), so you'd have like a free display + computer?

not sure if they make thunderbolt -> display port cables yet tho

Are there any 3rd party thunderbolt monitors yet?

why is dayo's post replicating itself? i am scared

I think it's just now getting to the point where people are making monitors with displayport input, so there are some available. It's odd in that I kind of wanted one for a while and it seemed like there were a handful released when Apple switched to displayport, then companies gave up and kept making DVI-only ones for a few more years.

definite gap in market for MBP 13": it sits in the space the white macbook's just vacated, and it's a much more powerful machine. tried the 11" air and it couldn't handle streamed content from vimeo HD seamlessly. bit disappointing, so might plump for the 13" MBP instead

mini display port and Thunderbolt use the same cables. I don't know how daisy chaining works, though -- you might have to have the display on the end. It's like the SCSI days again!

hmmm

i have never had a prob with any streamed video on the lovely emma b's air. that said, she has the beefier 11"

pretty sure the great part of thunderbolt chaining is that it doesn't matter where things are

intel had a demo where they had a disk array, a computer, and a display chained with the display in the middle and they were playing a bunch of video off of the disk array with no issues

inverted scrolling in Lion gonna restart the inverted look v game battles of lore?

I think I hate it fwiw

It makes sense on a trackpad imo, the cognitive gap for a scroll wheel is probably larger though.

on trackpad, could adapt but not sure it's worth the bother

I'm on the same page as Schlafsack

It's miracle day!

ok i'm not a software-head or anything and i probably wouldn't understand half this thread... but... should i bother getting lion? should i wait? i have a macbook pro that's lion-ready fwiw.

dooo it

why? give me a reason!

In a few months app updates with cool stuff will use api features that require Lion and you'll be like "why do I need to upgrade, grind grind moan"

that and the gesture stuff is pretty fun

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-07-21/apple-said-to-consider-making-an-offer-for-hulu-online-television-service.html

Kind of skeptical, but it's possible and would be a great acquisition for their hobby appliance. They've got Netflix and MLB for subscription services, so a Hulu option would make sense, but it's kind of annoying that this might kill the service for the many other devices it's on.

btw that screenshot upthread that I can't seem to delete is actually dual quad core processors

braggin'

i wonder how much spotify's scaring them right now

Apple does not give one fuck.

lion is making my 2006 mb ~grind~

sigh. first OS update to make my computer slower in 11 years I think

RIP white mb. easy enough to downgrade if I need to?

does MS Office 2008 work with Lion? Because I heard today it doesn't. This was very second-hand though.

It'll grind for the first 1-2 hrs because Spotlight has to reindex your whole drive. cmd+space will tell you how long it's got to go.

xp

wonder if that is maybe it

all the animations are treacle tho regardless

Oh, I should mention that Lion's time estimates were garbage for me. 33 minute installation took 65 minutes and the 18 hr spotlight indexing took 1.5 hrs.

and yeah, the whole interface is shithouse until the indexing finishes so

indexing is long finished

bugger

I don't know whether this is related but my battery life was horrible last night, even well after the indexing had finished. Maybe I had some flash thing open somewhere.

Look, it's Thursday night here, for the sake of an ilxor's Friday PLEASE PLEASE don't upgrade to Lion tomorrow, please do it on Saturday or not at all.

Tell everyone you know that Lion is garbage. Please.

went to the apple store and played around with one, streamed HD stuff from video just fine? also played a 1080p movie trailer I downloaded from the apple movie trailers site, was okay.

v tempted

Give in. Or just send me the money, whatever works.

AA, are you Peter Misek? :)

I've decided to ditch the mouse and home and use a magic track pad exclusively. I'm pretty happy with it. Seems more elegant than constantly dragging a mouse over my desk.

when I get my office space set up again, I'm thinking of supplementing my mouse with one

so much love for my magic trackpad
