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.

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.

*cough* :whistle:

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

      Maybe it's just my old-school soul talking, but I’ve always felt that games aren't 'real' games until they hit the PC. Leaving the PC community out at launch just doesn't sit right with me. That being said, I'm probably going to buy the PS5 just for the fun of trying it out.

      Rockstar confirms Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders begin next week, unveils cover art by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The release date of Grand Theft Auto VI has moved quite a lot since its original announcement in 2023, but it finally looks like the game has found its final launch slot. Rockstar today had a new video upload on its YouTube channel, and while it wasn't a new trailer for the game, the company revealed two things. This was the pre-order kickoff date for Grand Theft Auto VI as well as the game's official cover art. The company revealed that June 25 is when fans of the series will be able to pre-order their copy of Grand Theft Auto VI. Pre-orders will be available both digitally and in retail stores. The newly unveiled cover art shows off the two new protagonists, as well as a few more characters that are probably vital to the campaign storyline. Shots of vehicles players can use like a light helicopter, motorcycle, sports car, and speed boat are also seen here, alongside a shot of a crocodile. "Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them," says Rockstar describing the campaign's protagonist duo. "But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive." Grand Theft Auto VI is coming to Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 on November 19, 2026. A PC version has not been confirmed yet, though it's expected by many to land after the console release. When asked about this, the Take-Two CEO says it considers the core audience for the Grand Theft Auto franchise to be on consoles.
