I usually enjoy WWDC, but this will even be my first as a Mac owner. Hopefully we will get to see 10.6 as is rumored.

Not sure if the iPhone can win me over still though, but I love gadgets, so it'll be interesting to see. I use my phone for too much and the iPhone just isn't powerful enough for me yet. Hopefully that will change.

They would still sell hardware IMO if they did this. Plus, if they did a partnership with an OEM they could make money off that hardware (Dell, I'm sure, would jump at a chance to sell OS X).

Dell already said they would love to sell computers with OSX..... but I still don't think Apple will do that

looks like a Developers System of some type. with all SDK's etc. lol

Doesn't make much sense though. You can already run OS X, Windows, and Linux on EVERY Intel Mac, and the SDKs and such are free. Then again, I wouldn't put it past Apple to manage to make you think you needed something that you already have, haha.

Forgot to post link/source,

On WWDC Eve, we at TUAW are hard at work keeping an eye out for the unknown and unexpected. We just received a tip showing what appears to be the Mac Nano computer that we've all wanted -- and it looks to be aimed towards the developer crowd.

The pictures appear to show a Mac geared towards developers on Windows and Linux systems. "Leave Windows behind. Build your Apps for OS X" states the title. While we are extremely cautious about rumors like these right before WWDC, we did have a rumor that a "new Mac" or at least an updated Mac might be released.

Macfusion could be like those Sony PS3, Xbox etc.. developer kits....special systems for developing games to run on PS3...so this could be an all-in-one kit to help devs design new software for Macs

after all it is a Developer Conference. lol I'm speculating

Maybe the mac fusion could be a slimmed down OSX, more like an SDK kind of thing, on an external hard drive, intended to be booted from. It could also be an uber cheap mac, but that would require developers to change their computer... while a bootable os x could be better.

who knows.

I like fakes :D

    • 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 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!
