Official Macworld Thread


Recommended Posts

A very reliable source just told me Apple will update the GFX processors of most of its line just before or during the Tiger release, that way all the new revs will run it smoothly. :happy:  :ninja:  :whistle:

/me waits for the Mac Mini rev1… :p

I'll wait with you buddy!

Oh and thanks to DrEaMs In DiGiTaL for the Macworld link.

Thats Video RAM.  The amount of RAM is less important than the graphics processor; a 64 meg integrated solution would be worse than the 32 meg Radeon 9200 in this, as there is no dedicated GPU in the first case.

Intergret Graphic has never worked. However, what is the different between ATI 9200 with 32MB RAM and ATI 9550 32MB (asume if it is exited)? I bit there isn't much different. Likewide, if Mac Mini supply greater video RAM, it would be more fun with game and video editing. I might be wrong and please feel free to tell me. :D

Geez, the CI/CV in Tiger can do tons of sicks things.

My guess is this new mini will run Tiger fine with the same effects of Panther. Anything developed after the fact will probably take more resources than a 32 mb card can pump out. I noticed a difference going from a 32mb card to a 128 in Windows, which has jack for effects.

Just to be certain of things; The iPod Shuffle only has a battery life of twelve-hours and lacks a display? :huh:

Since it operates on two AAA batteries, it's not too big of a deal. You can always change the battery.

By the way, did anyone notice that after comparing the size of the iPod Shuffle in the following picture:

Apple actually says "Do not eat iPod shuffle." at the bottom of the page? :D

iPod shuffle isn't 2 AAA batteries... It's a rechargable battery. You can purchase an accessory whihc adds two AA batteries and extends your battery life to 20 hours though...

585276972[/snapback]

so you cannot use regular batteries. i would have expected a WAAAAY longer battery life from a flash based player. and you cannot find song cos it does not have display.

AND if you go on a trip you cannot recharge without finding a USB port somewhere first?

WEAK

yeah, that was pretty funny

also MAC MINI is very cool!

If you'd watched the keynote you'd see why Apple decided not to include the display... and the 12 hours battery life is so much better than having to use AA batteries

Why did Apple leave out the display? I'm too lazy to watch the keynote.

They demoed all these other little crappy flash players and all of them had aweful tiny interface's... then steve went on saying that the Shuffle feature of the iPods was the most popular feature when it comes to listening to music on your iPod. Then they thought what if based the player around the shuffle feature (hence the name) .

Well thats it. At ?380 I AM going to become an Apple Mac owner.

I literally got to read the start of the keynote (over IRC) then had to get dragged away to drive down to Oxford - I finally get on the net at the other end and there is news of all these wonderful new Apple products. The Mac Mini however is now officially on my list to buy.. seriously.

Does anybody know where I can find good quality photos from the Expo ? Wish the Keynote was made into a torrent .. :/

585278242[/snapback]

There is, in fact i'm dowloading it now, at home.

I can't sreamed it yesterday, os I went to bed, and this morning found a link to the torrent. I'd leave it downloading, I'll watch it tonight when I come back home.

Sorry, but i'm at work and i cannot provide with the link to the torrent file.... :(

Damn I'm really starting to fall in love with steve jobs :p

The iPod shuffle really doesn't impress me - something with a screen would be much better. And like I said in another thread, I don't think it should be called an ipod - if you say to your friends "hey, I got an ipod!" they're gonna expect you to pull out a G4 or a mini maybe; pull this thing out and they'll think to themselfs "what the hell is this thing"... ah well, my opinion anyway...

What I'm loving here is the Mac Mini!! damn that thing looks nice, and so damn small!! I've decided that's gonna be my first Mac. But why did they bring it out so soon? Steve should have waited for Tiger and then released the mini. A few more USB ports would have been nice. And au$800?? That's kinda expensive.. but still, very nice.

iWork; I never use anything like that so it doesn't mean much to me. But Apple need more things in it - spreadsheets, database, web page creator - something like "Office by Mac" that would give MS something to worry about.

Anyway, I've spent my two cents for today..

Why? Can someone post mirror for video?

Seems like a fairly good business decision to me. Get lots more people intrested in and buying macs and then when Tiger comes out make more money with people upgrading.

Assuming of course that the upgrade isn't free (seems unlikely)

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
    • Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 by Razvan Serea Microsoft Edge is a super fast and secure web browser from Microsoft. It works on almost any device, including PCs, iPhones and Androids. It keeps you safe online, protects your privacy, and lets you browse the web quickly. You can even use it on all your devices and keep your browsing history and favorites synced up. Built on the same technology as Chrome, Microsoft Edge has additional built-in features like Startup boost and Sleeping tabs, which boost your browsing experience with world class performance and speed that are optimized to work best with Windows. Microsoft Edge security and privacy features such as Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, Password Monitor, InPrivate search, and Kids Mode help keep you and your loved ones protected and secure online. Microsoft Edge has features to keep both you and your family protected. Enable content filters and access activity reports with your Microsoft Family Safety account and experience a kid-friendly web with Kids Mode. The new Microsoft Edge is now compatible with your favorite extensions, so it’s easy to personalize your browsing experience. Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 changelog: Migration to improved V2 architecture for Workspaces. Workspaces, introduced in Edge in 2022, allows users to create durable sets of tabs that can be saved and shared with others. In order to improve reliability and performance of this feature, the following changes are being made: Migrating data for saved Workspaces from OneDrive/SharePoint to Edge Sync service Removing the collaboration/share functionality of this feature For organizations who have disabled Sync through policy, the existing v1 Workspace data will still be migrated to the new architecture. New v2 Workspaces created after migration won't sync across devices and will remain local to each device. This update occurs on a progressive rollout beginning in Edge Stable v145 and will continue rolling out in Edge v149. For more information, see Getting started with Microsoft Edge Workspaces. Feature Updates Passkey Sync for Enterprise Users. Microsoft Edge is introducing support for passkey synchronization for enterprise users, enabling secure, passwordless authentication across devices. Passkeys created in Edge can now be synced seamlessly, improving sign-in experience while maintaining strong security standards. Note: This is a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see this change, check back as we continue the rollout. Enterprise WebView2 runtime downgrade via DowngradeVersion policy. Administrators can temporarily roll back specific applications to a previous WebView2 Evergreen Runtime version (N-1 or N-2) using the new DowngradeVersion policy in msedgewebview2.admx. The Downgrade Version policy allows enterprises to mitigate critical regressions by specifying per-application exe-to-version mappings. The Edge Updater installs the target version side-by-side, and the WebView2 Loader redirects targeted apps accordingly. Downgrades auto-expire with each new WebView2 release: apps pinned to N-1 remain on the same version (now becoming N-2) and will auto-update in the next release, while apps pinned to N-2 will revert to the current Evergreen version. The policy applies only to enterprise-managed devices (domain-joined or MDM-enrolled). For more information, see Microsoft Edge WebView2 Policy Documentation | Microsoft Learn. Collections retirement. Collections has been removed in this update. Users can no longer access or use the feature. To keep saved content, users can export it, or move all pages to Favorites before updating to Microsoft Edge Stable 149. For more information, see Organize your ideas with Collections in Microsoft Edge - Microsoft Support. Modern, unified, and updated Look and Feel. Microsoft Edge has updated the Look and Feel to give customers a unified experience across all of Microsoft AI surfaces including Copilot and Bing. This changes multiple elements of the UX such as spacing, corners, fonts, default colors, etc. Clarify choices surrounding third-party cookie settings. Language under Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Cookies are clarified to better describe the choices users have in managing third-party cookies. Custom primary password retirement. Users are no longer able to create a new custom primary password in Edge Settings edge://settings/autofill/passwords/settings. Any users who are still using a custom primary password will be automatically migrated to device authentication. Additionally, the PrimaryPasswordSetting policy will no longer support the WithCustomPrimaryPassword option. For more information, see Keep your saved passwords private in Microsoft Edge | Microsoft Support. Unifying Copilot Chat policy controls. The Microsoft365CopilotChatIconEnabled policy is the standard for configuring Copilot Chat. Previously, this behavior was controlled by blocking the Copilot extension, either explicitly or by using the * wildcard via the ExtensionSettings or ExtensionInstallBlockList policies. Extension and sidebar policies no longer affect the appearance or functionality of Copilot Chat. Copilot address bar suggestions were also tied to extension policy settings. Starting in Microsoft Edge version 149, admins can use the CopilotAddressBarSuggestionsEnabled policy to manage this behavior. Intune MAM Protected Downloads. The protected downloads feature for Intune MAM is now available for BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) devices, which aren't managed by a tenant. Policy Updates / New policies CopilotAddressBarSuggestionsEnabled - Enable Copilot address bar suggestions CpuPerformanceTierOverride - Override for the CPU performance tier DataUrlInWebWorkerOpaqueOriginEnabled - Enable opaque origins for data URLs in Web Workers DefaultLocalFontsSetting - Default Local Fonts permission setting ForceForegroundPriorityForUrls - Force foreground priority for specific URLs LocalFontsAllowedForUrls - Allow Local Fonts permission on these sites LocalFontsBlockedForUrls - Block Local Fonts permission on these sites Deprecated policies WalletDonationEnabled - Wallet Donation Enabled (deprecated) EdgeWalletEtreeEnabled - Edge Wallet E-Tree Enabled (deprecated) Additional policy changes ForceForegroundPriorityForUrls - ForceForegroundPriorityForOrigins is renamed to ForceForegroundPriorityForUrls OnSecurityEventEnterpriseConnector - Add macOS platform support ProtectedContentIdentifiersAllowed - Remove macOS platform support Download: Microsoft Edge (64-bit) | 193.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Microsoft Edge (32-bit) | 170.0 MB Download: Microsoft Edge (ARM64) | 188.0 MB View: Microsoft Edge Website | Release History Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
