Apple Event on September 12th


Recommended Posts

Looks much cleaner :) the aqua scrollbars didn't fit in as much... I don't like them getting rid of the "browse/import/burn" button and making it a dull button on the bottom - especially since the "browse" opens up at the top.

Didn't fit in? :huh: It doesn't fit in at all now with the rest of my aqua bars on Safari, iChat, Mail, Pages, etc. Ugh.

I'm really disappointed with this new design/UI change. Gunmetal and OS X = :no:

I Think the funniest thing is that they said they were making big changes when they got rid of the mini line, but now they have released the new nano which looks exzactly like the ipod mini just smaller.

i was thinking just that, a big step back for the ipod nano.

If anyone is still having problems where the "Unknown Error has Occured" (-#) then I fixed this by opening up Quicktime seperately which did not install correctly and then have that install close it and then open up iTunes and it worked fine.

Just a heads up. :)

Our iMac G5's are running Photoshop twice as fast as the Intels.

not really a fair comparison considering there isn't a native Intel version out yet.

as for obsolescence, it's apple, man!

the designers are like:

"dammit! he promised he wouldn't do that!"

"do what, dude?"

"talk about the new 17" powerbooks! s**t! now we're gonna have to work over time on something else!"

"you're upset? my wife said we have a baby girl."

"cool man!"

"heck! i can't even remember what my wife looks like!"

that powerbook was obsolete the second Steve Jobs unvailed it.

Landshark, BBQ means Barbeque.

Although BBQ can also mean "Better Be Quick" so I guess it's a context thing isn't it?

Don't forget to Google before you ask ;)

Computers are outdated the second you buy them! I bet the military is looking at the civilian computer industry and laughing their arses off at how primitive we all are with our "Conroe's".

I'm pretty dissapointed that the laptops were not Meromed tbh :(

Everyone I have a Theory. Now I just thought of it so I could be totally wrong but this is what I think. Right now if you buy any mac besides the mini (and now besides the imac because they updated them and obviously make less money on them now) you can get a free ipod nano if your a student (still works on the new ipods maximum $205 rebate). Obviously a lot of students are going to be buying laptops right now because the school year is starting/started (I just started school last week). This offer ends on the 16th and they could easily be using this to get rid of all the core duo laptops they have in stock right now.

They released the new imac's with almost no notice (just rumors of a 23"). I am hoping/guessing with in a few weeks they will quietly update them to core 2 duo. I almost all the new laptops are using them now and I don't think any company actually made a big announcement about witching.

So I see Apple doing so quietly in the next few weeks.

Yeah, didn't fit in - not in respect to the rest of the OS GUI, but to the iTunes interface, which also has a different interface than Safari, Mail, and Pages. Anyway, that's just what I think :) With the path iTunes was headed down, I think the blue aqua scrollbars started to stand out just a bit.

Can't wait for those new iPod shuffles to arrive in stores. I already have a 4th gen iPod (w/ color screen), but this will be great for when I'm working out.

The new iTunes is pretty neat. The new scrollbars are a little disappointing (I preferred the Aqua bars TBH), but everything else is neato. I really like how they have an actual download window now, for when you're buying an album off of the iTunes store (as opposed to having your download information at the top bar thing). They also reminded me to back up my purchased music, which was cool. I kept putting that off for the longest time.

didnt fit? and now it fit perfectly right? :rolleyes:

What? No, I didn't say that - I do think that these scrollbars fit more with the overall look of iTunes now though. Don't be all offended that I offered my opinion and explained where I came from - I never said that Giga was wrong about anything and if he likes the blue scrollbars, then good for him :) I wish there was a way for people that like it to get it back the way it used to be.

They did make two big changes: flash memory and a color screen.

You've never been in the military then, have you? I spent 6 years as an electronics tech in the Navy. Generally the military is several years behind the civilian world when it comes to computers. Why? Budgets partially, and the need for their hardware to be 100% tested and proven before being used in the field. They can't afford to be beta testers for the computer industry.

Who is their right mind would buy an 8gb player when they could get a 30gb player with more features?

I was thinking this, but people who want to use their nano for use during exercise etc. when you don't want to have to worry about the size and weight of the iPod but still want a good capacity would go for a Nano...presumably :p

Maybe for it's size and the fact an flash based HD is tougher to break? If you exercise a lot you're better off with flash memory than a conventional HD.

Ah, that makes sense.

The part of the military you dont see and cant talk about :p

    • They couldn't have done a better job, this is beautiful!
    • Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.
    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
