from the logo I think it's clear ipods are on the menu.

some speculation from PCmagazine as to what's coming

--A larger, horizontal screen on the iPod nano. Get ready to say goodbye to the lukewarmly received "fat" nano, and hello to a more Zune-like orientation.

--Higher-capacity iPod touches. 64GB, anyone?

--Price drops across the iPod touch line.

--The end of the spinning-hard-drive-based iPod...? Our guess is that this will be the iPod Classics's death-rattle, as Flash-based players continue to bulk up.

Good thing it's on the 9th, just in time before the world collapses into a black hole.

sweet! apple just offered to replace my first gen nano for free (due to overheating and my magsafe suddenly melting). brand new ipod nano, here I come :)

What does magsafe have to do with your iPod?

The last time that iTune was performing well enough for my taste was WAY back, like iTune 4.0 or something like that.

Now iTune is the be-all end-all for Apple. Jack of all trade, sync your iPod, iPhone, activate iPhone, Music Store, video, apps store, coverflow, ....... It feels heavy.

What would you suggest? A separate app for each of those functions? I don't think that would work somehow. And anyway, you only see the features you want to see. It's not like Apple is forcing you to load every single part of the application every single time.

I'm dying to see the new Macbook Pro's

Check out this Mock up of a Black Macbook Pro

looks tight....although I don't like the thick rim around the screen and not fond of glass either.

Maybe they will announce those fugly rounded iPod nanos. (The second concept was better). But yeah, I'm also hoping iTunes 8 comes out. Hopefully the bug where iTunes crashes if shapshifter is trying to skin it is fixed (but I'm hoping too much =P)

All I want is iTunes to be re-written in Cocoa, that'd solve a mountain of issues and obviously create a few other issues.

Of course the key here is that iTunes would then be a 64-bit application which would fall in with Mac OS X Snow Leopard development.

iPhone bug fixes are also on my Must Have list. 2.0.2 = crappy battery

Wow, Macrumors said it could be a sign of MBs and MBPs being pushed to October.

If true, very bad marketing, very bad... students just began, they want their laptops and are not going to look at Apple's if the specs are outdated. The curious generation about OS X won't wait until october, they will buy a Windows laptop. Fans of OS X will wait, but if we look closer at the market share, the last category is 10x smaller :s

To, say, confirm this, I don't see a whole new iPod generation being announced for 7 days only on Apple.com's main page, it's gonna last a couple of weeks, THEN we will see MBs and/or MBPs. :(

The sad thing for me is, I already bought a mouse for my future MB *sigh*

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.

    • Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) using their respective DNS servers and both trigger the dialog above.

    • Microsoft fired the team and replaced them with AI and this is what you get.
