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.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.

      Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates

      By zikalify · Posted

      Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
