Macworld 2006 Discussion


Recommended Posts

Well actually I think the white craze started with the Snowflake coloured edition of the iMac G3 which looked like a slot loading eMac basically. That and the iBook G3 which was out during the iMac G3's which were other colours. I do believe it was the iMac G4 though was the machine that kind of cemented the whole colour scheme...

Just wish we could watch the event live - I do enjoy watching the keynote presentation by old Steve Jobs - especially when he talks to people on iChat, etc - he's always so natural, funny and always makes a great host for these presentations. Him getting his photo's done on Photobooth was hilarious.

Fingers crossed for Intel Macs... might be seriously looking at a Mini in a few months so it'd be cool if they revised them and beefed them up a bit!

omg reading this thread has made me not be able to wait even more i was so waitng for intel macs that i completly forgot iLife'06 with Front Row is coming out i hope it has loads more features than it does now. and a look at finder in 10.5 would be great too :)

And um maybe we will get iTunes 7 with Video streaming support

iTune 7 would include Video Podcast...

iLife06 with FrontRow, PhotoBooth, Video Podcast Creator, ....

Mabe iWorks 2.0 ??

iBook with Intel CPU, available NOW.

Mac Mini with Intel CPU, available in march-april 2006.

Preview of a PowerBook with Intel CPU, available in late 2006.

Lots of talk about the Dual Core, Dual CPU PPC PowerMac, with benchmark....

Lots of talk about XCode, creating apps for Intel and PPC Mac.

Updated iPod Shuffle

Small preview of OS X 10.5

I finish work at 5pm.. doh! Might either stay behind and watch the reports come in, or drive home like my trousers are on fire so I can catch up!

Wish they'd stream the keynote live! I love watching Jobs do his presentations! His enthusiasm for the products and the genuine interest in it always makes it so worthwhile!

    • Apart from Early Hiccups on Windows 11 on first install on October 6th 2021 on my old Intel 10700 daily use Desktop PC at the time, used to have issue with Bluetooth suddenly no longer working and only fix back then was always another clean install--then would work for a while. Transition to 2024 when i decided to finally upgrade that system for better support for Battlefield 2042 and Battlefield 6 later on, opted for next daily use Gaming Desktop AMD Ryzen 7 7700X and Radeon 7800XT OC 16GB. No major problems at all with this desktop, OS was clean installed way back on 10/8/2025 not long after 25H2 released. Overall i've been happy with Windows 11 Pro from the start, even minor little quirks didn't sway me. Heck i even use Windows 8 and upgraded immediately upon release back then on my old HP P6-2133W Desktop, and while the specs of that machine didn't give me top notch performance--i still was able to do what i wanted to, without too many slowdowns. Windows ME i didn't use on any of my personal systems back in the day, kept those systems on 98SE til XP released, and grabbed that immediately on release date. Kept XP til Vista Released then upgraded immediately, kept Vista til Windows 7 released, then updated immediately again
    • Broadcom: dreadful company who is destroying VMware by pricing it out of the market.
    • To be fair, it wasn't going anywhere. Even when Windows Phone could run Android APKs, Google didn't want any of it so it'd never work and the same thing happened with Windows. It was never about the store or it's users, it was always the developers and who they aligned to.
    • Wake me up when this comes to PC. Until then... zzzzzzzz....
