Are there any good coverage sites? MacNN and gizmodo are taking hours to refresh, and engadget's coverage always drives me nuts by dumping pictures inline

macrumorslive.com, maybe

WANT

my mom just bought a 999 17-inch

TOLD YOU SO

http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/07/live-from-apples-summer-mac-product-press-conference/

ooh, so now I can organise my photos into folders eh? coo ur

gimme more metadata in my document browser apps.

"The crowd starts clapping, which seems a bit unnecessary" LOL

Wait, no numeric keypad? Boo *and* hiss.

(ha ha, it's the G4 mini keyboard all over again)

even it had a numberpad!

o, it's just the wireless one that has no numbers.

oh yr rite! (times two)

I am ordering the wired version of that keyboard as soon as the store comes back up

(because the old bluetooth one SUCKS)

What don't you like? My one is pretty good, but the wireless mighty mouse is shit.

i'll have the numeric-keypadless bluetooth one for my outdated 17" G5 plz

what's the diff between wired/wireless mighty mouse? (i love MM, but i know some people are irked by the lift-finger right click thing)

hmm @ all-new imovie

mine goes randomly nuts -- becomes sluggish, stops listening to clicks, and you have to cycle bluetooth to get it to behave again. It's my second one, so I don't think it's just the model.

hmm at .mac 'overhaul' so far generally :-/

new iMacs are fugly based on the engadget pics

yr kooky

fuck me this new iMac is basically everything I wanted when I sprang for a Mac Pro

i am tempted to cut this short i'm working on in the new imovie just to see how it works.. if i can get my hands on it soon

this new iMovie seems pretty rad, i think? esp if you're just trying to comp something together.

does it seem so different from the current one? i've only done a couple of simple ops on it, so don't know it well but it doesn't sound so different.

oo "Magic" garageband. pff

.Mac needs shot in the head

or dropped down to $20 a year

WHY IS .MAC STILL SO VERY SHIT. they get everything else so much righter than anyone else, but not this. WHY?

It has to be some insane unfirable manager who got put on it to keep him from spoiling up important shit.

i like that theory

ok, so the AJAX web gallery does look slick

is this numbers spreadsheet entirely new??

what app is that umbrella icon in the gallery mov for?

photomatix??

thats not a Goscinny & Uderzo character i've heard of before

what app is that umbrella icon in the gallery mov for?

It's the current Apple Backup app.

NURK

apple has the weirdest idea of feature prioritization in their iWork apps.
like, no, actually, what I really want is formula editing that makes some vague amount of sense, and names of operations that I can remember from one week to the next besides "SUM."

my ibook is dead. i turn it on and get a blank gray screen. nothing'll load, battery's dead, i can't get it to charge, when i do get it to -- begin -- charging the little orange/yellow-green tally light flickers color-to-color and then the whole mess shuts off. all of my work and résumés and stuff are on there and i can't access boo. anybody help?

go to apple store and force a genius to remove the drive for you before he sends it in for a $300 power management unit replacement.

next time at least back up all your shit on a gmail account as attachments sent to yourself.

alternatively try having a regular old mom & pop shop try to backup your personal documents onto DVDs by booting the drive as a slave.

okay, looking at selling my Mac Pro for one of these (basically a straight trade). Between the 24" models the only significant difference is a 320GB HD vs. a 500GB (I'd upgrade the RAM on either).

320 is plenty for OS X+ apps+some storage - but I have 60GB in iTunes and probably another 20GB if I finished ripping everything.

Anyone run iTunes solely from an external drive? Does it screw everything up if I forget to turn on the drive before starting up my computer?

I run mine from a Lacie and it runs fine. I have about 160 GB on the external. iTunes usually takes a minute to load the library, but I think that's an iTunes/library size problem and not necessarily my setup.

I can power on/off my Lacie at any time. You'd have to turn it on before starting iTunes, of course.
