Huh ? A device to convert apps from other OSes to OS X? Damn this would be brilliant, but I don't see how they could do that. It's too complicated o_O

It's not to convert apps, but a cheap Mac for Windows and Linux developers to buy and start developing OS X Leopard and iPhone apps.

Mac Fusion = fake I think.

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

How can they be to blame if they say NOTHING of un-announced products, until they show up? The tech media makes the hype - Apple just say nothing.

Well... I like the name :)

But its fake.

Yep.

Can I just point out though that Apple have done this before and it failed miserably? One of Steve's first actions on his return was to scrap the Macintosh clone programme.

One of the greatest things about being a human, is that we don't have to learn from history.

Now gimmie OSx86!

If they announce OSx86

I'll **** bricks. And Windows will suffer a MAJOR BLOW

Windows would not suffer a major blow. The majority of PCs would still be pre-loaded with Windows and the general computing public just don't care about anything else other than Windows. Hell, a lot don't even know what an Operating System is.

The only reason OS X is making inroads these days is because people think the Mac wont get any problems because it is a different computer, not a different Operating System.

LOL :huh:

Apple Store Is Down

Best not make any plans today.

The Apple store is down,

new **** is on its way.

A tablet Mac or new SDK.

Doesn't matter,'cause it's Apple, As long as Steve goes slow in the keynote:

"Had a great business year, our future success is clear.

CHORUS

But I have just one more thing to show before I disappear.

And I think it's the most exciting thing that we are gonna launch this year.

Boom it's here."

Listen, Steve, my friends and I

have decided that it's okay that you know (whoa)

that we don't want for you to die.

If it happened the stock would flatten.

So if you go, go slow!

I need a new boat.

"My hair is gone. I'm grizzled gray. Retire you ask? Not today.

CHORUS

'cause I have just one more thing to show before I disappear.

It might be the most important product that we're gonna launch this year.

Boom it's here."

BRIDGE: My head is swimming; my mouth is dry. I hardly can believe that I am worthy to be in this distortion field.

CHORUS

'cause I want just one more thing to own before I disappear.

And my life needs one more thing to glow to add a little cheer.

Oh thank god it's here.

Special thanks to #boingboing's Chris_B for mixing assistance and Jonathan Coulton for a guitar.

Steve will surprise us all. Just like when he annouced they were switching to Intel. Nobody anticipated that.

Actually I did. I believed all of the reports, of course at the time I was a new Apple fan (had just bought an iMac G5 two months before the announcement) :p

Can I just point out though that Apple have done this before and it failed miserably? One of Steve's first actions on his return was to scrap the Macintosh clone programme.

But OS X wasn't as popular back then. X hadn't come out had it? OS X is now rock solid and has an extremely awesome UI and user experience that could easily beat Windows. If they do open it up to the PC, I think it could easily succeed compared to OS 9.

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
