Macworld 2006 Discussion

Man, just finished watching it, boy that was a good one. The ad is cool, and is it just me or does the new MacBook Pro look darker than the PowerBook? Kind of reminds me of the finish that the TiBook had. I thought it would have been better to do the Mac mini or iBook instead of the iMac for the Core Duo, but oh well, I guess it makes sense considering it is the main stream computer, the one that they focus on.

Btw, iWeb looks awesome!

i know, mac mini and ibook should have been updated :(

I'm amazed, watching that Intel advert, that the other vendors that supply its chips aren't up in arms. Just think about all the parnerships over the years with people like Dell who are simply referred to as people who sell 'dull little boxes' - I certainly wouldn't be very happy.

Ho hum. The updates were good but I was hoping for a new Mini or home theatre box of some sort. iMac and MacBook are boht well out of my price range for now.. and I dont wanna buy a Mini now as its inevitable it'll get swapped to Intel soon! Grr..

Do like the new iPod remote though - been looking for remotes today on eBay in fact so Apple must have read my mind! Will be buying one I think!

Damn it - I missed all the excitement! I knew I should have woken up early...

I'm a bit disappointed with the iMac. Since it is the first Mac to ever feature an Intel processor, I was expecting a futuristic new design - a choice between black and white (like with the iPod's) would have been nice too.

iLife '06 sounds nice. Photocasting sounds incredible - what a great idea!!

No iPod shuffle update? No Excel-like app in iWork? No Airport Express with streaming video/photo features? No new video content on iTunes? That really sucks...

The MacBook Pro - aside from having a strange name and ridiculous price tag - looks awesome! Does anyone know what battery life it has? I looked all over Apple's website but couldn't seem to find it.

lol :huh: Cheaper for us canadians now ; 200$ off with education :)

:) gotta love that education discount. I think i'm going to wait until right before i leave for college (August 2006). hopefully there'll be at least a speedbump by then

lol :huh: Cheaper for us canadians now ; 200$ off with education :)

i want them to update the ADC prices though, looks like they made a mistake (because the current price is higher than the education price and just before the update for the 15" powerbook it was 200 off for education and ANOTHER 200 off for ADC)

    • Ah well, who needs computers in the next 10... 15 years right? At this point is just money laundering.
    • RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought are free on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers can now jump in and grab two more games to keep this week, as the Epic Games Store's ever-present giveaway promotion has just gone through another refresh. Replacing last week's Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat offers, the store has brought in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition and Voidwrought to keep. From the duo, Roller Coaster Tycoon 3: Complete Edition is an enhanced version of the classic title that was originally released in 2004. It comes with enhancements such as widescreen and 1080p resolution support, as well as increased compatibility with modern PC hardware. It also comes bundled with all the extra content from the Soaked! and Wild! expansion packs. "Control park finances, shops, services and staff to succeed in dozens of scenarios," reads the description. "Become a true tycoon and embark on your promising new career, or create your ideal park without money woes in sandbox mode. Satisfy your guests’ needs and keep your park running smoothly to succeed." If management is not your style, Voidwrought lands as a 2D action-platformer featuring hand-drawn cosmic horrors. The title touts tight platforming and close‑quarters combat, all brought together with a strong emphasis on mobility. "Descend below the star-scorched surface and explore the multidimensional depths below," says the studio Powersnake about the game. "Witness the corrupted revelry of the Court, lose yourself in the icy tunnels of the Old Waters, and discover the grim fate of the Abandoned Expedition." The RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition and Voidwrought giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take their place on the same day as always. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
