WWDC: What we want --> what we'll get

I want Merom. Then I'll start talking about getting another Mac. Or else, whatsoever Intel Core/Yonah is a clear no.
 
Udi/hdmi/hdcp

I'm interested to see if Apple does anything about supporting UDI on the MacPros. Blu-ray and/or HD-DVD are the tipping point for this.

UDI is basically HDMI but for computers so the computer manufacturers don't have to pay the HDMI fees. HDMI is a interface required for HDCP and HDCP is what the new hi-def content will be restricted by. (hope that all makes sense).

UDI also means the cinema displays being updated.

I feel, whenever this does happen, the MacPros will get it first, but I hope the MBPs follow pretty soon or get it at the same time.

It would also be nice to know what happens to those of us that already own a 30" cinema display regarding HDCP. SOL I fear will be the acronym of choice...

Okay, good to know. I only mentioned hindi cause someone on these forums complained about it as well, saying it is right to left.
 
as much as I would love to see an ultra light portable, I don't see it happening since the've been advertising "The Family is Now Complete..."

Or you could do it the easy way:

1) In the parent folder, command-double click the child folder to open it in a new window.
2) Drag the files.

Seriously... or just drag from one column to the other column in column view. < 1 second.

Agreed on this, I had that exact same thought earlier today as I was struggling to move some files from a child folder to its parent folder. On Windows XP it would take all of 1 seconds. On Mac OS I have to..

1) Select the files
2) Open new finder window
3) Oh noes, no "Open folder in new window" option, I have to navigate back to the folder I want (first folder's parent!)
4) Drag the files over and drop them

How the hell is it harder to do things the Windows way? Select files, CTRL-X, hit backspace to go to parent, CTRL-V.

I don't get it.

(Ok, so this is a couple days late, but there you are)
I'm not sure what the problem here is. The Mac OSX equivalent is:
Select files, CTRL-C, CMD-Up Arrow to go to parent, CTRL-V

So it's just one extra keypress. Doesn't seem that big of a deal.

Unless it doesn't have a keyboard and is a hybrid of some sort has a touch screen but can have a keyboard attached...
 
All I want is the redesigned MBP with a merom in it.

No heat problems.

No whine problems.

No farm noises.

DL Superdrive and FW800 would be nice. (on the 15")

I don't care if it's slightly thicker. I never understood the importance of having a one-inch thin laptop. I'd gladly take a 1.2 inch laptop with more features and better ventilation. Easily replacable RAM and HDD would be awesome. I could care less about the magnetic latch though.
 
I know the Mac Pro is coming, I think it would only make sense that they speedbump the MacBook Pro to keep up with the Pro-Line. I really don't care how the Mac Pro is designed on the outside, I just want a screaming fast mac..

I can't wait to see Steve Jobs' say "The Quad Mac Pro is 4-5 Times Faster than the Quad G5"

I'm getting anxious!!!

It is guaranteed that we will get a preview of Leopard, along with a shipping date and all that...

If that happened, then Digidesign would be in serious trouble -- the G5 Quad is already as fast as their proprietary HD1 DSP card and 4-5 times faster computer would put their DSP farm into shame. That can't happen yet, so either the new Mac Pro is not very much faster than the current Quad or Digidesign has a new generation of DSP cards waiting for release...

...or maybe it's the end of dedicated DSP processing. Who knows ;)

false. we'll get a preview of 10.5, that's in pr, says nothing about release date.
 
Yeah, we all want a new iPod but that isn't something that interests deveolpers so we can expect not to get it at WWDC
 
One thing no one seems to touch on, anyone think we'll see anything major as far as the "Pro" software from Apple goes? I ask this from the point of view of being a prosepective Logic Pro purchaser.
 
What I want is a Mac Mini that supports 3.5 inch drives, but sadly we're not going to get that at a developers conference.
 
I have over 300 channels on my TV. Surely one of them could show the keynote live! I get very annoyed with streamming on the web. However beautiful the product is, it looks terrible when the artifacts kick in.

For just about every Intel product that has come out, Apple has showed off it's power by putting a "2-3x or 4-5x faster" sign next to it telling us that these are seriously faster.

I wonder how Steve Jobs is going to present the new Mac Pro, if he knows it's not that much faster than the Quad G5 it replaces, then he won't be showing many benchmarks...
