Poor Mac Pro... it's like Apple doesn't even bother.

My old model is still fine - I just switched the GPU and slapped more memory into it + SSD and woosh it flies.

Very few "PC guys" can put similar hardware on the table even now.

Passbook in iOS6 is the first step to be able to go out without having a wallet in your pocket. NFC payments are coming up next in the new iPhone.

I tend to agree. Passbook was really all they could show without the hardware. I was reading so many people complaining because they didn't show NFC off, but how can they unless they're ready to show off the hardware? And if it won't launch until the fall, showing it off now would kill their 4S sales.

Although, I read recently that sales have dropped off for the iPhone and it was theorized that it's due to the yearly updates. Which makes sense. I wouldn't recommend anyone get a new iPhone with an update coming out in around 3 to 4 months unless they absolutely had to have a new phone right now.

With all that being said, I really wish some of those apps for Passbook were out right now. I'd really like to play around with that app.

I'm wondering why its called AirMac Express / Extreme in Japan.
In Japan, the line of products is marketed under the brand AirMac due to previous registration by I-O Data.

via AirPort, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=AirPort&oldid=497828033 (last visited June 16, 2012).

Apart from the fact it won't be called iPhone 5 - yes, too soon.

Fall release for sure, which goes nicely with my contract renewal haha.

This time I'll be a day 1 adopter :laugh:

I'd put my money on the same things.

Sorry for the thread resurrection, but it had to be done :laugh:

The new iPod nano looks really cool. Hope I can demo one at an Apple Store soon.

New iTunes looks pretty nice, too. I'm assuming it will be version 11. I hope it's finally rewritten in Cocoa, though. Also not surprised to see Ping is being retired, I don't think it ever really took off in the first place.

Can't believe they didn't use NFC to go with Passbook

    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.

      That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.
