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!

    • Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027 by Hamid Ganji The iPhone Fold is one of the most anticipated tech products expected to debut this fall. It will be Apple’s first foldable iPhone, ushering in a new product category for the company. While the first generation has yet to hit the shelves, a new leak suggests Apple has already begun work on its successor. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claims that the second-generation iPhone Fold has already been confirmed, meaning Apple could launch a successor in fall 2027. The foldable iPhone is also reportedly referred to as the “iPhone Ultra,” though it remains unclear whether Apple will ultimately choose that branding, especially as Samsung is rumored to rename the Galaxy Z Fold 8 as the Galaxy Z Fold Ultra this year. The leaker also claims that the second-generation foldable will feature a wider folding display while reusing the same screen found in the first generation. Apple’s first foldable iPhone is expected to feature a 7.8-inch inner display and a 5.3-inch outer screen in a passport-style form factor. It has already been reported that Apple plans to change its iPhone release cycle in 2026 to spread launches throughout the year. Under this strategy, the iPhone Fold is expected to debut this fall alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. The standard iPhone 18 and iPhone Air 2 are expected to arrive later in 2026 or in early 2027. Speaking of the iPhone Air, Digital Chat Station says Apple remains undecided about a third-generation model. The company is reportedly waiting to see how the iPhone Air 2 performs in the market, and if sales disappoint, a successor may never materialize. As we reported this week, the iPhone Air has not been scrapped from Apple’s plans. The second-generation model is reportedly scheduled for spring 2027 and could introduce upgrades such as an additional rear camera for ultrawide photography and improved battery life.
    • ahh yes the good old your opinion differs from mine so you are therefore insane lol destiny 1 had no agenda pushing and was a massive success of a game, if you clearly look online the team for some reason thought they had too many men on the team and went on a woman and dei recruitment drive and we all know how destiny 2 performed from then on in
    • The limited imaginations and business acumen of non-dominant players is simply that: the abject lack of creative business acumen. Businesses often want to operate in a financially-rewarding marketplace (free market economics) and/or exit/cash-out at maximal financial recompense. Money is their incentive; regulations are both their obstacles and their tools; politics is their means of influencing the marketplace. Google, in this story's example, is crying that AWS and Azure are "too dominant" -- cuz Google Cloud is not printing as much money as Alphabet wants (although it is still dramatically more than they actually need). The EU DMA should truly follow-the-money and treat the EU as its own sovereign nation in order to protect European market players: Domestic entities are exempt from market-influence regulations until absolute monopoly is achieved; Foreign (non-EU/non-Euro) entities are all regulated via stricter DMA measures whereby regulated partnership with independent domestic entity becomes the only way for foreign entities to 'tip the scale' for favorable financial remunerations. Basically create a dual-track aligning with China's foreign investment models. In my eyes, this is the only way to properly protect the European marketplace beyond the current dot-com/ai-bubble/social-media crazes.
