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

Britain's Obtusest Shepherd (Alan), Wednesday, 5 June 2013 20:45 (ten years ago) link

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

dan selzer, Wednesday, 5 June 2013 21:21 (ten years ago) link

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

markers, Wednesday, 5 June 2013 21:40 (ten years ago) link

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

markers, Wednesday, 5 June 2013 21:42 (ten years ago) link

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.

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

zip drive

markers, Wednesday, 5 June 2013 21:52 (ten years ago) link

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 :-/

Britain's Obtusest Shepherd (Alan), Wednesday, 5 June 2013 22:03 (ten years ago) link

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.

stet, Wednesday, 5 June 2013 22:22 (ten years ago) link

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

Green_Partyhat for iFunny :) (Matt P), Wednesday, 5 June 2013 22:37 (ten years ago) link

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

markers, Wednesday, 5 June 2013 22:46 (ten years ago) link

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.

stet, Wednesday, 5 June 2013 23:04 (ten years ago) link

assuming that means a unified facelift across platforms

the Quim of Bendigo (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 7 June 2013 22:39 (ten years ago) link

two days until we can all go wild together

markers, Friday, 7 June 2013 22:43 (ten years ago) link

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

the Quim of Bendigo (Autumn Almanac), Saturday, 8 June 2013 21:27 (ten years ago) link

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

the Quim of Bendigo (Autumn Almanac), Saturday, 8 June 2013 22:00 (ten years ago) link

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.

Chewshabadoo, Sunday, 9 June 2013 09:40 (ten years ago) link

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

licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Sunday, 9 June 2013 09:49 (ten years ago) link

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).

caek, Sunday, 9 June 2013 09:55 (ten years ago) link

Yep, that. If you can afford the comparatively pricier Apple monitors, and your Macbook Pro has a Thunderbolt port, you can leave your keyboard/mouse (if not Bluetooth), and other things like external harddrive, printer, etc. plugged into the monitor and only need to plug in the power lead and Thunderbolt cable when at your desk.

Chewshabadoo, Sunday, 9 June 2013 11:54 (ten years ago) link

Another option is to get or make a stand to hold your laptop higher up. I have my setup like this using a basic monitor connected using a mini-displayport to DVI adapter, so I have a two monitor setup of sorts, but some people just use the laptop monitor screen. (sorry about the mess!)

if you want to sync dropbox makes it pretty easy

this time tomorrow

Dropbox will sync folders very well, but literally syncing your whole Harddrive is quite a bit harder, if things like apps and settings need to be included.

thanks for advice guys. I had been thinking of docking my MBP but I dont know whether that setup would be wife friendly enough. On the sync'ing - yeah I guess we ain't there yet, although in a an iOS world it seems increasingly weird to be dealing with different content on computers in the same house. I would like to have the same iTunes and iPhoto libraries on all my workstations.

I think this might be quite a big one today. Apple's been quiet for too long for this just to be three hours of game demos
