New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

is he singing "Even Flow"?

So if iOS 6 is announced today, how long before it's released?

retina =-0

Bloody hell, this is like when the PB G4 came out. Gotta have.

over under on how much more expensive this is than a regular Mbp? I say 500

2200

15" Retina doesn't do anything for me. There are diminishing returns on screen resolution at that point, IMO. My 27" iMac is just right.

Possibly better in some ways -- this is just a better-looking 1440x900 for some apps. Photos and videos are going to look amazing, though.

2200 for the 15", is that right?

when does the apple store open

Non-iMessage messaging systems referred to as "legacy messaging applications." Kind of cocky.

they've finally merged apple IDs and phone numbers. That was the biggest fuck-up with iMessage. Apart from it not delivering

longest keynote ever?

fuck you no imac.

hoping for the post-keynote quiet upgrade to Mac Pro they did a few years back

fuck you no imac.

Mac Pro proc bump also confirmed by the verge.

I kinda want that new MBP. Lusting commences.

I am glad that the macbook pro is pricier, as I am doing a lot of other sorts of expenditures and am trying not to spend all kinds of cash right now. I will resist the purchase, this way.

Seriously, thin as hell, a pound lighter than the previous one... golly

Hmm, no MacMini refresh (yet) and iOS6 runs on 3GS? I may be spending far less money this year than I thought.

fuck you no imac.

srsly. need a new desktop, been holding off for new imac announcement.

what's the deal with the new airport?

also why can you not add a bigger ssd to the cheaper macbook pro, that sounds like BS

did the previous airport express not have dual-band? I think just the extreme did.

Just bought the highest-end 15" without the retina display. My old first-gen MacBook (32-bit) is horrible at this point.

The Retina would be nice with a monitor to replace my iMac - but I'm not that excited by 256MB of onboard storage. Would have to run TBolt drives all the time at home for iTunes and my Lightroom archive, then not have them when I'm not at home.

I guess this could push me to go all-cloud with Spotify/Pandora but that option does not excite me.

I still feel all ;_; that my old mac pro that I bought used just over a year ago (and pimped out) will not get snow leopard

I can play Diablo 3 on it, Apple, please take that as a sign it is worth supporting

feel like the jump from MBP display -> MBP retina display will feel like jump from ipad 2 -> ipad 3, i.e. not all that stunning

YOU'RE not all that stunning

Was having some last-minute angst about the lack of a matte screen option on the MBP Retina, but then I realized whenever I used my GF's new MBA the glossy didn't bother me too much.

Pulled trigger on maxed-out MBP Retina. At least I can take in the screen while I eat ramen for the next year to pay for this thing.

whoa

dont forget applecare

iPad 2 > 3 jump is pretty stunning for me. Text is infinitely improved. Not sure that's a big deal on a MBP screen tho.
Most photos online being 1024 on the long side @ 72dpi limits Retina usefulness, IMO.

I'm sure stet can cook up a retina.css stylesheet for ILX

ipad 2 -> 3 jump is day and night ffs

$3750?

At least I can take in the screen play crysis at 40 fps while I eat ramen for the next year to pay for this thing.

$3750?

Nope. As a member of a printing industry consortium, I get a discount direct from the source (so to speak).

OH COME ON. The retina-optimized Diablo 3 please!

dont forget applecare

I never do.

If anything, since I make my living as a developer I can take the business expense write-off.

You don't need "retina optimized" you sillies, it just runs in Hi-DPI mode in Safari and in Diablo 3 it'd run at full resolution instead of half

If it's as good as the Display PostScript resolution on my old old old NeXT slab I'll be happy.

my education pricing only knocks off like $200 ... still 2k doesn't seem that bad for a retina 15"

srsly though why is the 512gb ssd not an option for the 2.3 ghz machine?!? slower processor takes up more room? idgi.

You can run the screen in Hi-DPI retina mode (effectively low-res) or there are various super hi-res modes available in settings.

Gotta think that native pixels will be more or less unreadable, though.

You could be like my crazy coworker and just sit with your face four inches from the screen

I was more referring to the fact that default ilx stylesheet limits pictures to 800 pix of wide or something like that

it was a joek

hasn't been a huge change for me, then again I'm working in email/pages/safari and not heavily in graphics

had to use an ipad 2 recently and didn't notice a difference - it wasn't instantly like GOD look at this crappy display, tho if I laid them side-by-side I'd prolly see something
