it's not arrogance, it's marketing

[betasp]

They are arrogant. Check out their ad on www.apple.com/intel/ads The whole starts with praising Intel and condescending the PCs

As many times as they have been declared dead over the years, I don't blame them for being a little arrogant.

Whats really ironic is the fact that they would be dead if it wasnt for M$ and right now they seem to be going to head to head against them... vista vs. OSX

not really, from what i can see they're not trying to compete with MS, it's the same old stuff only a different CPU inside

Apple feels like they are already on the same level as Vista. They feel like they will take it the next step with Leopard and go beyond it, before Vista even ships.

So dissapointed. :(

[toastyghost]

Wait since the imacs are old now, do you think I could pick a ppc proccesor one up cheap?

Can buy my Rev. A with 1GB RAM off me for ?500 if you want:cool::

And where did MS get their stuff from? They stole it from Apple at the beginning.

The keynote is up

[chimera963]

Last year i was like "WHOA" at all the new stuff, but this year, I'm barely amused, mainly because the MacBook Pro is extremely overpriced, and I don't have enough for even a low end iMac :( It's gonna take me forever to save, i was hoping for something cheap like a mac mini, o well...not even a preview of leopard, disappointing...

[fascist]

The sad thing is if I buy something im dad poor so maybe ill wait till my birthday rolls around in march.

Find me a PC that is the same size, with the same options for less money. I can't find one. THere is an Acer and a Gateway that is close, but both are thicker and heavier and have less software with it.

UK store has gone out again :(

[iconboy]

SO frusterated! Im trying to watch the keynote, but it keeps crashing and when i get it to not crash the sound cuts out! ugh, I dont know whether or not to blame Quicktime or XP!

[saxondale.]

Blame the gazillion people trying to watch it with you.

iWork and iLife look promising...even though I'm a little wary of the marketing pitch where you HAVE to buy (<<tell me if I'm wrong)) .mac in order to use iWeb. I'm really excited about iDVD's full support of third-party burners, although I thought it was up to the third-parties to decide to make drivers for their drives or not...

PB users must be somewhat happy but for 12" PB users maybe a little disappointed.

I'm somewhat disappointed because no iBooks and no Mac Mini updates...for now. Weird how they haven't updated the product pages for those two (and other products) to include iLife/iWork 06...

Does anyone know the status of universal binaries for like Office for Mac, Pro Apps, etc?

(one more thing: iPod nano/video FM tuner = sweet).

[rajputwarrior]

i want an iMac so badly

[KXH]

Are we sure about that? Surely there is a way to set iWeb to upload to your site if you already have your own hosting, even without all of the functionality.

[heesey1010]

Yeah I take that back, I've been at school all day so no real time to take a good look at the Stevenote and details. No real direct mention of having to use .mac. I guess it uses RSS.

...anyone have any possible thoughts about iBook/Mac Mini arrival?

[Subfusion]

Those new MacBook Pro's are so hot, I want one!

[KeR]

has anyone been able to stream the keynote...mine just times out it won't even start, I guess their servers are getting hammered.
