Is anyone watching the keynote? there's bound to be someone with a cell phone and laptop in clamshell mode or something with an iSight, I remember last year seeing the G5 while the keynote was going on

Unless I'm mistaken, the Keynote was broadcast by Apple last year. That may have been only in Apple stores though.

One thing Apple needs to do is release a kick-butt newsreader (no, not RSS, I mean NNTP). With the death of Thoth, there needs to be something to take it's place (and, no, don't bother telling me about Unison, it's no where near as powerful as Thoth). A newsreader with this new Spotlight technology would be awesome.

"New tech: Core Image and Core Video.

doing processing in graphics processor (GPU), not the CPU

all done with floating point precision.

realtime filters. over 100 professional quality

filters. just like audio units, you can extend with image and video units to extend it

any way you want. similar to audio units/coreaudio. avail to dev to write any apps

they want.

So video and images can be easily integrated into applications. Thats what I thought.

Not exactly. You can do that now fairly easily. This is to allow developers to more easily manipulate video and images (aka, build photoshop more easily).

Right, thats kinda what I was saying. Devs can depend on Apple's libraries that are built into the OS for things like video and images.

Or am I still getting it wrong? Oh well, doesn't really matter.

Hehe, someone should call the Apple Store and say "I want to order the new iMac G5" and see what happens:-)

The imac g4s were still in stock for 24hr delivery,

When things have been changed in the past I've noticed the dates increase to like a week or so a few days before the anouncement,

The current displays went from 24hrs to 8-10 days/

I did that last year when the G5s were about to be released. Unfortunately, the guy just told me he didn't know what I was talking about.

Some called last year asking for the same thing and the employee said "Oh, I thought they were being announced tomorrow." Or something along those lines.

Yeah, I was hoping for some slip-up like that, but I guess the guy I talked to actually knew what he was doing and didn't want to get in trouble ;)

    • Windows 11 is now five years old

      By Arceles · Posted

      No. Windows 8 had little to no spywhare, is actually faster than 7 but it has the dreaded start screen, nothing that you could not fix with start8. Windows ME crashed often, but was shotlived and replaced by XP, which is a much better windows in itself.

      Windows 8 was uninspiring but it was fine / worked. It was just overshadowed by how great Windows 7 was. Windows ME seem to be just unstable for most people - I was using Windows 2000, which was far superior. The two best versions are Windows 7 and 2000

      I don't think ME was that bad. The stability issues were mostly caused by drivers. This was when the switch from vxd to wdm was happening. The other complaint was not being able to shut down into DOS anymore which was silly with XP right around the corner.

      As much as I hated Windows 8, although I never used it personally on any of my own machines, I think Windows Me was hands down the worst OS from MS. I have Windows 11 on 2 unsupported machines and haven't had any issues and I actually kind of like it. Still hate how slow Windows updates are though.
    • Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details

      Why do you think they whol industry would be done? Agree a lot has shifted around the launch with devs moving their dates to avoid the timeframe around the launch. But if this fails, it'll be talked about, analysed, Rockstar will likely be ridiculed but people will move on. Others devs might be more cautious about these large games but I don't think one game will change the entire industry
