I don't know what to think about the whole brushed aluminum casing rumor about the new iMac. The only reason I find that hard to believe is becuase they have always reserved aluminum for their professional grade products. The iMac has always been part of the consumer line.
Ever heard of the Mac mini?
I doubt the whole ipod multi-touch mini OS X thing.

The latest rumors don't agree with you: ;)

DigiTimes claims that Wintek has been given the contract award for producing the the panels of Apples upcoming iPod refresh, which DigiTimes notes will be in August. The touch screens will reportedly be similar to the iPhone's touch screen.

iMac Revision and iLife on August 7th?

ThinkSecret pinpoints Tuesday, August 7th as the likely date for the long awaited iMac revision.

The revamped iMac will represent the first substantial upgrade to the system since it initially adopted Intel processors in January 2006, and will sport an entirely new brushed aluminum enclosure.

ThinkSecret also suggests that the overdue iLife updates could also arrive at the same time, but are less certain on this possibility.

A recent rumor had claimed that iLife update had gone "golden master", suggesting an imminent release.

I'll be ordering a new shiny 24" iMac the second it comes out. Hopefully it will pack 2GB RAM by default like the MacBook Pro. :cool:

We're obviously going to need unpacking pictures, etc., since you've been waiting, and saying you're waiting, for months :p

MacBook Pro comes with 2 GB of RAM standard? I didn't know this, has this always been the case?

Is it true that Apples latest patent is a move to bring iPhone-ness to the touchpad of the notebooks? Eg, diagonal spread for zoom in apps, etc, as well as a "mini-touchscreen" type deal? and how about apple developing its own "multimedia cross-browser plugin" coughSilverlightcoughFlash...

haha depends on how fast Apple ships it. People will probably beat me to it. ;) Both Rudy and me have been waiting for quite a while now yeah. Since May or so? :laugh: :/

Since the last revision all MacBook Pros ship with 2GB. This wasn't the case before, definitely not when it comes the two 15" models if I recall correctly.

I believe they filled in a patent for it recently. But Apple does that all the time. It doesn't mean we'll something like it anytime soon or at all for that matter. Big companies just like to patent stuff. :p Edited by .Neo
.Neo - The highest 15" came with 2GB ram stock before the latest revision.

Aah OK. I thought only the 17" model had 2GB by default.

Some videos "leaked" showing the supposedly new iPod 6g interface:

No confirmation if it's real though.

I'm waiting 6 months before buying a new Apple system (if I decide to again). They'll have to have ironed out the bugs/defects as with any other Mac before it has had.

I personally never really had a problem with my first generation macbook pro, the only thing that was the "whining" and that was easily fixed (new logicboard)

Leaked pictures of the new keyboard are up:

If true, this will give us a rough idea where the iMac is heading.

Interesting, that lone USB port (hopefully USB 2) does look odd, though.

    • Limited time Prime Day deal cuts price of this Hisense 65" 4K smart TV in half by Ivan Jenic It’s Amazon Prime Day, and brands are offering great deals to consumers. One of the best deals of the day is definitely this Hisense 65" U7, which is currently $799.99 on Amazon, down from $1,499.99. That's nearly 50% off and $700 saved on this feature-packed 4K TV (purchase link down below). The U7 uses Mini-LED backlighting with up to 3,000 local dimming zones and up to 3,000 nits of peak brightness. That means blacks are truly deep and highlights are punchy enough to hold up even in bright rooms. The screen is covered with a dual-layer anti-reflection coating, which prevents the afternoon overhead lights from washing the picture. For gaming, the native 165Hz refresh rate and VRR 330 support make this one a great TV option for PS5 and Xbox Series X. The TV even features a native game mode, which should help minimize the input lag for a better gaming experience. Audio is handled by a 2.1.2 channel system tuned by Devialet, which is a notable partnership for a TV at this price. Additionally, Dolby Vision IQ, Dolby Atmos, and IMAX Enhanced are all supported. It runs Fire TV with Alexa+ built in. So, if you’re looking for a sharp, large screen to watch the World Cup on, the U7 at this price is definitely an attractive option. Speaking of which, Hisense is the official sponsor of the World Cup, which should mean absolutely nothing to you, and isn’t the reason why you should by this TV. The reason why you should buy it is that it’s “la bella televisione, HDTV-compatible, beautiful,” and available at half the price. Hisense 65" U7 Mini-LED 4K Smart Fire TV - $799.99 | 47% off on Amazon Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Re: Capitalism. It's just 1 of dozens of economic models currently-adopted worldwide; most national models separate money from politics thereby limiting the influence wealth carries over the economy (due to limited tentacles wealth politics has over the broader economy). The "American model" of unfettered financial influence should NOT be the variant of pure capitalism adopted worldwide. More regulations formulated within this variant is effectively useless due to the misalignment between regulatory objectives and fundamental influence wealth politics carry over the market. Re: enough money. Without constraining the breadth/depth/scope/scale that any measure of money/wealth can have within a market, there will always inherently be those who have "enough money" and those who do not. Those without "enough money" will always lose -- regardless if a bedroom DJ, indie developer, or million-dollar corporation going against a billion-dollar mega-corporation. The evil is the absence of guardrails against the influence of wealth; not the mere existence of wealth. Re: dragged through the courts. The liberalist nature of litigation does not exclude anyone, anywhere, for any reason for getting dragged through the courts. Rather than formalize remediation pathways for various perceived ills, everything is left up to flawed interpretations... and this is where a litigation-averse community fails to thrive (thus a losing proposition when dragged to courts). Everyone should have more protections and clear remediation strategies! Going to an alternate remediation arbitration is OK so long as the case review and remediation processes are clear and transparent. For corporations, hit them where it hurts: automatic financial penalties. (PS: This is where corporate risk management strategies would do well to behave more ethically.) Overall, failure to truly shake-up the incentive core and regulatory extremities of the economic market will necessarily mean that all other actions are simply applying lipstick on a pig. Change begins from the inside. Is the root cause of the problem that a majority of consumers within a market goes for Option Brand-name versus Option Indie? Or that brand-name is spending foreign money to control domestic markets? Or that money is the objective measure for success across all walks of life? Or that deep pockets dictate the moral and ethical rights/wrongs of entire societies? Regardless of the answer (and there's nothing inherently wrong with being a socialist or communist or whatever label your surroundings deem 'cool' or 'uncool') there's a common thread: If a market truly wants to nurture domestic innovation, then performative finger-wagging will do nothing to that end.
