Yes, I know that they are two different categories, but the MBPs would definitely steal a lot of the iPad's thunder.I doubt a new MBP announcement will hurt the iPad in any way. I think only an inconsequential percentage of Apple's iPad customer base would change plans for an iPad and choose a MBP instead.

This shows you clearly don't understand how the military funds are used.
The troops cost $152.4 Billion....out of the $685.1 Billion 2010 military budget (which I don't think accounts for the massive CIA and so called "black budget).
Cutting military funding doesn't mean eliminating troops.
Yup, most of the waste is for military technology and planes like the raptor that were built for cold-war style fighting. That era is dead. No offense intended, but that poster clearly has NO IDEA what the US uses its ridiculously large military budget for.

i don't know why anyone is complaining that the MB wasn't upgraded to meet the specs of the MBP. we're talking entry level after all, and have to give apple something to justify the price differential to the pro. me, this is just what i was waiting for. c2d with added memory to boot. if i needed more features, graphics, etc., (*and if i could afford it) i'd buy the pro, but i don't. with this upgrade, i can finally retire my performa 6400/g3 sonnet, and have something that will serve me for many years. as soon as the store comes back up, i'm buying.

Toys R US is an odd distribution point, but genius from a marketing exposure point. It's going to get the Apple brand in front of a lot of families.
I think it's more odd that Toys R Us wants it. It's so far off their normal product type, but it could be that Toys R Us is looking for new segments to open in order to try and save their business????
I loved the Starbucks comment. :) That would make sense since most iPads end up at Starbucks! LOL!

Clarify please. You just threw that out of the blue. I'm not understanding where you're getting that from.
They know we want a G5/Power4 Lite. They know we're savvy enough not to accept a 7470 or some other rebadged G4.
They know that the G4 is not as fast as some PIV and Athlons. They know we know this.
They know that MHz matters, no matter how much they downplay it.
They know the Photoshop bake off is a bad metric.
Then why the hell aren't they doing anything about it.
So, since I don't care either way, complain, don't complain, write your congressman, eat J-ello, but know for a fact that unless you have an amazing insight, a moment of pure clarity, or an unused superchip design in you desk drawer, that you won't be changing the future with suggestions, and you'll only impact it negatively by boycotting Apple products.
As a shareholder and a customer, that idea spells doom, not development.
Do what you want to do, but get your facts straight, and don't talk out of your sunshine hole!
It's a lose-lose situation for you then. Apple won't improve for you. You don't promote competition to help Apple improve. And I do have my facts straight, thank you.

USB will be obsolete by then, nobody can verify whether the iPod is still working or not.
Btw, have you checked the prices of 8" floppy disks lately? The single-density ones.
Time to buy an ipod, leave it in the box, then sell it in 30 years for $10,000? Try get Jobs to sign it first! How about $100,000?
And the first ipod had firewire?!?!?! What is this! We've downgraded!

If people shelled out $1000+ for tickets to WWDC, you can bet that unless they are obscenely rich, they're there for the actual conference.
:rolleyes:
Definitely. These people are here for the conference and workshops, not some 30 minute media event. :)

I believe Apple did go with a larger sensor in the iPhone 4.
They kept the same pixel size as from before, but made the sensor larger to increase the number of pixels. It's also uses backlit illumination, per Steve Jobs.

Haven't heard much from Obama about JOBS, JOBS, JOBS lately ...
Haven't heard from Boehner about JOBS, JOBS, JOBS either.
Anybody who thinks this is anywhere near what Dubya got us into with Iraq has the reading comprehension of a head of cabbage.
That said, I hope we don't get much deeper into this.

just to shut up these iPhone 4 users who want minimal upgrade for iPhone 5 because their contracts aren't up and still want their phones to look up to date

I'm often surprised to meet a new Beatles fan who "inherited" their interest from their parents. And the publicity surrounding an iTunes debut would add to that interest.
I wonder if they'll have a "complete catalog" package?
Granted, for new fans might be a good thing. I wonder how many new fans the Beatles have nowadays? Plus, their parents might have the songs already on cd or lp. and of course you can always go to your local cd store and buy their music.
Sorry, I don't think adding the Beatles is a big deal at all.
The only thing it might be interesting is to buy their whole complete catalog of songs just like Apple did with U2 Complete for a good price.

Don't we post the 'tagline' every year?
Does anyone have the list of the slogans for the last few years and how they related to any product releases?? I believe this is a deliberate red herring by Apple. Pigs might be in the air - flying?
Either that or its something small(ish) like new Airport Express iTunes streaming thing. Maybe trying to make 2008 the year that everyone does away with CDs and downloads all their music and streams it around the house.
What about an Apple Radio of some sort? Able to play DAB radio and stream your iTunes.

It seems that Apple has abandoned the product that made them a household name. Why would you buy a huge HDD iPod, when you could get an iPhone or an iPod touch? Eventually, iPhones, iPod touches, and iPads will be 64GB or 128GB. The first iPod I bought, had a black and white screen and was 40GB. Add to that, the eventual cloud, why would you need a portable device with more than 128GB storage and wifi? BTW, this is coming from the guy that always buys the highest storage capacity, because I think it's worth an extra $100 to get twice the storage capacity.

I'm well aware that the majority of people are going to get Vista when they buy new machines next year or so, but which of these versions are they going to get?
Very likely home platinum, possibly professional if they are buying a expensive high end machine.
MS has spread their lineup to thin, $500 for the ultimate every 5-10 years, I would rather got the apple route, $130 for the entire thing every few years and at least I feel continues advances than one big bang.

Why is this on the front page? It's like saying that WalMart is now selling a junk tablet. Except this article says that Toys R Us and Best Buy is now selling iPads. This isn't front page news.
But it is. It represents a lot of points of distribution.
That's a big deal for retail consumer electronics.

And yet, no new iPhone will be present ... I predict a lot of attending hearts will be broken!
This is for developers, they come to see what kind of software they need to develop. They don't really care for hardware, and they don't pay this much just to see the announcement of the iPhone, something they could have seen online or just read about. This is all about discussing what Apple wants developers to do in their programming.
