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.

    • 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.
    • Sounds like the debloated build you are running is missing some components that the Photos app and Snipping Tool rely on.
    • Apparently, Microsoft doesn't use water in their taps, washrooms or clean their facility. /sarc
    • Wow, throwback.  VERY VERY briefly - but realised that it wasn't the language I needed for the tasks I was taking on.
    • 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.
