It's a kind of known thing that people don't ask Steve about the minitower, he's been known to fly off the handle about it.

Really?! Wow - complicated guy.

I'm sure (well, hopeful) he'll come round to the notion one day. The iMac will never keep me captivated forever and the Mac Pro is just well out of my price range! A sheepish return to PC ownership is inevitable, unless Apple really think the graphics options for the iMac.

Well, I wasn't saying that only consoles were getting games, but except FPS and Simulation (Sim City, The Sims) and Strategy (Warcraft, Starcraft) games, consoles are better IMO for gaming. While the consoles are brand new, it's better to play on the consoles. As the consoles get old, it's better to spend money on a good video card and buy games on the PC as much as possible, they will be better than on old hardware/consoles.

Damn I want an iPhone. I really hoped the old ones would go uber cheap on eBay suddenly with 3G ones only round the corner, but they look as popular as ever. I was playing with an iPod Touch in Birmingham today and I really liked it - the feel of it, the way it all worked... definitely think an iPhone has to be my next phone.

PowerPC Support in Mac OS X 10.6 After All?

Contrary to claims that Mac OS 10.6 "Snow Leopard" will drop PowerPC support, Gizmodo has heard that PowerPC support may indeed be living on.

The source, who claimed to get a hold of the 10.6 seed, indicated that work has been done on PowerPC drivers which indicates to them that support for the architecture is unlikely to be dropped this time around.

While this rumor may inspire a bit of hope to those who have late-model PowerPC Macs (including this editor), it should be noted that it runs contrary to running consensus that OS 10.6 "Snow Leopard" would only support Intel chips. The circumstances of the report, however, very unlikely, which appears to have been sent in by an anonymous tipster. Meanwhile, the reports of the Intel-only rumor have come from known insiders.

Apple is expected to introduce 10.6 at WWDC, for which we will be providing live keynote coverage at MacRumorsLive.com as well as SMS, Twitter and iPhone updates.

WWDC seems like it is going to be very exciting. :) I can't believe that I forgot it was tomorrow.

I'm extremely excited to see what Jobs brings us. OS X 10.6, new iPhone, iPhone 2.0 Software, maybe some new displays. All extremely exciting stuff.

Will be watching the stock market closely tomorrow :yes:

Personally, I think everyone's expecting too much.

What is sad is everyone expects these uber things that have nothing to do with the Developer side of things and then will be disappointed when they don't come to pass... For example, say all this 10.6 stuff is BS and Steve doesn't mention 10.6, people will be posting saying how they feel slighted that there wasn't any 10.6 talk when there was never any reason to think there would be.

Wouldn't 10.6 be announced and the first seed given out to developers be part of the Developer side?

That was only an example, however in all honesty the first seed for 10.6 shouldn't be much more than 10.5.4 at this point, I'd think a new version of XCode with a set of 10.6 calls would be more beneficial at this point.

+1. I was only expecting iPhone updates and OS X updates, not really hardware. But, you never know.

The displays haven't been updated in 431 days. And they have been updated at WWDC before, so it isn't out of the ordinary for that to happen again, especially considering how long it has been since an update came out.

If you ask me, you can thank Apple for that. They're one of the best hype companies around.

I agree too. People always get their hopes up for these kinds of things, and when nothing happens they complain. It's kind of rediculous. This is a developer conference, so I wouldn't expect any new hardware to come out. The only thing I personally think is going to come out is the 3G iPhone. Other than that, I don't see much else hardware wise - no tablet, midrange Mac, etc. Since this is s developer conference, I bet they're going to talk about, oh I don't know developer things. :p Snow Leopard anyone?

      The memory and nvme can be swapped and upgraded with standard parts. But the GPU cannot, which is the weakest part of the box. It's a dead product at these prices.

    • Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com Tata Electronics has confirmed that it detected a cybersecurity incident in some of its systems. The Indian company is a manufacturing partner of both Apple and Tesla, and the incident may have exposed some trade secrets belonging to the two American companies. The World Leaks ransomware group is said to be behind the attack, and it has reportedly posted up to 200,000 files on the dark web, including component designs and specification documents related to Apple and Tesla products. Tata Electronics told Reuters that its response protocols were deployed immediately and that the “incident has had no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.” The ransomware group reportedly sent a ransom demand to Tata Electronics, while Apple has launched an investigation into the incident. World Leaks claims it stole more than 200,000 files totaling over 630GB from Tata Electronics. Some database files on the ransomware group’s website are titled "com.apple.factorydata," which could refer to Apple’s iPhone production operations in India. Moreover, some documents reportedly contain material specifications and quality inspection standards for iPhone circuit board components. However, Apple is not the only affected company. A folder found in the World Leaks database is titled "NV36 Chargeport Controller - North America," which may refer to Tesla Model Y components. Additionally, other files in the database reportedly contain drawings related to Tesla’s Project Highland, the internal codename for the EV maker’s updated Model 3 sedan. To support the authenticity of the stolen files, World Leaks has published documents containing footers that read: "This document contains proprietary and confidential information of Apple Inc." and "information contained herein is deemed confidential, proprietary, and a trade secret of Tesla Inc." Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia told Reuters that the database also contains emails, event logs spanning several years, and passport copies of employees, including foreign nationals. Both Tesla and Apple have declined to comment on the scale of the incident.
