Apple Keynote today!

[:MoD:Shade]

First half of 2003....

[*DAMN Elandrion]

yeah its really small, cute and cheap, but not something i'd buy... not upgradeable enough...

and not enough drive space for a file server

[*DAMN Mauti]

I would buy me one without hesitating one second if I wouldn't have a powerbook. This thing is just great, fast enough for DV editing, Photoshop, Ghost Recon, (I guess RvS won't run that well), dedicated game server, and if you buy it in the USA starting at 360 Euro. Further I really think this could be the perfect switcher reason for all PC user that don't play games. It has everything =)

About the HD: I guess they have built in a notebook HD!? Does anyone know more?

iWork also looks very promising.

Very nice Keynote, even if it's the first time where I'm not looking for a new Mac.

Bye,

I was just browsing the iPod Shuffle page, and found a funny little easter egg (unless Apple Legal is REALLY REALLY PARANOID)






I circled it for you, but it's still hard to see.


"2. Do not eat iPod shuffle"

lmao

[Civrock]

you know... there are people that eat screws and stuff. and when you look at this sexy tasteful little iPod Shuffle... mmmh, yumm!

[BTs_Mysterio]

You can't be too careful these days snipe. I mena after all, maniac is still alive.

[spike]

Would anyone buy this?

[*DAMN Elandrion]

yeah... but compared to my PB it wouldn't be a big improvement, except for the server, although i'd need some more external firewire cases.

here, the price isn't that nice... €500!

iWorks looks nice, thats true.

[BTs_Mysterio]

My brother is buying one to replace a old quicksilver (single 800) G4 tower). He's also looking into some iPod shuffles.

[*DAMN Mauti]

Of course it wouldn't be a replacement for your PB 1 Ghz Titanium, but as additional Mac at your country house, or as second Mac for your guest room, for switchers, as school computer, it's perfect. You only need more RAM. All in all I think the Minimac will have the success the Cube failed to have.

It's cheap, you are free to use your complete old peripheral devices, it's fast. If I look at my powerbook 1.33 is more than enough for anything else than gaming. So why shouldn't 1.25 or 1.42.

Games are a chapter on their own, but at this price you even don't get a gaming PC. I think it's a great step forward for Apple and the success will give it right!? We will see.

Bye,

I guess this computer is ideal for people like my mother. She has an old 433mhz G4 tower, with a 19" display keyboard, mouse etc. She doesn't need the computer for much else besides Snood and email/word processing. It would be ideal for her to buy just this tiny computer for less than half the price a new tower etc would cost.

[*DAMN Elandrion]

yes, it is true that it would be a good computer for switchers, or a replacement surf/email/word processing machine, or a small development machine. there are truly enough uses for it. It just wouldn't be a nice enough improvement on my PB IMHO (1GhZ -> 1.25, Rad 9000 -> Rad 9200).

[.vooDoo.]

If it comes Airport ready I will buy one. My mom is looking for something to replace her g4 Powerbook because it hurts her neck.

[BTs_Mysterio]

It doesn't come with a airport card, but it is airport ready.

[Civrock]

if anybody wants to actually download the Keynote already instead of the shitty webstream... here's the link:

Apple Keynote 11th January '05

[.vooDoo.]

um....your link takes me to a "bjork" website. 

[Civrock]

lol, yeah, i had to notice that too after my download suddenly stopped 5 minutes before it was done! 

Apple most probably noticed that somebody found that link, wherever or however (i got it from a friend) and set a forwarder on it... for some reason, the Björk website for her new album. haha...
