You mean, the guy is boring, or the products? I find the keynote really interesting so far, on the products' side. It's exactly what I thought it was, nothing more nothing less, except for a new iPhone but this is going to be true in like 10 minutes :p

Snow Leopard blew me away so far with the statistics, the small MacBook introduction at the beginning just to tease us, a recap of iPhone OS 3.0 software features... they invited many people to speak (this is called diplomacy for a company :)) What are you asking?

Both.

Snow Leopard is a nice improvement, but that's all it is. Nothing major.

The new Macbooks are all just small refreshes.

The new iPhone stuff (so far) is all either late or unineresting, for the most part.

What I'm asking is don't treat something as a big event when it's not a big event (not talking about the conference).

You are right though. So far nothing they showed cant be done on a windows mobile device . I was really hoping for a new iphone.

So I'm confused... I waited this long to buy a Macbook Pro and I was going for the 17" but now the 15" is better with the newer screen, speed upgrades and SD slot? How is this fair?

All the Macbooks were refreshed, including the 17".

Edit: Nevermind, it wasn't refreshed. Thought it was -- my bad.

Fair? It's technological advances. More/better tech for lower prices. Happens all the time.

Edit: Oh, maybe you meant all models should have been upgraded? Well I guess they will in due time. The 17" was also lagging behind somewhat compared to the Oct 08 models.

    • Valve will finally let you build your own Steam Machine with SteamOS for desktop

      By branfont · Posted

      If you don’t get lucky with Valve’s Steam Machine reservation system, you can make your own Steam Machine instead. Valve says that “starting with the SteamOS 3.8 release, you can put together your own Steam Machine using whatever PC parts you want.” SteamOS 3.8.10 launched last week with a slew of updates, including “improved compatibility with recent Intel and AMD platforms.” Alongside that improved compatibility, Valve is giving gamers the green light to install SteamOS on their own desktops. In an interview with The Verge, Valve’s Pierre-Loup Griffais said Valve has been “rolling out improvements to [SteamOS] so it’s more compatible with desktop hardware,” including eventual support for Nvidia graphics. Griffais says Valve has “a growing team” working on Nvidia driver support for SteamOS, adding, “We’re collaborating with Nvidia very closely.” While he mentioned that Nvidia support might not come this year, Griffais emphasized that “it’s certainly something that we’re working on in the background.”     Subscription not needed: https://archive.fo/Tssfc Subscription needed: https://www.theverge.com/games/953411/valve-steamos-desktop-nvidia
    • Microsoft outs Windows 11 KB5095093 with long list of new features

      I thought they were supposed to reduce the amount of restarts needed to install these updates? It took 3 restarts to install this update...
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By Jdoe25 · Posted

      I know an idiot at work who is "Director for innovation projects" and inevitably has been tasked with following up on this whole trend of "AI and its work applicability". He recently sent out a survey on the topic, for the workforce to disclose their usage and attitudes towards AI. The survey was badly, sloppily typed out, the questions and answers (when multiple choices) were loosely correlated and, all and all, it would already be miserable in the times of MS Office Autocorrect alone. Then, I had AI responding to it all (on the open-ended questions) with beautiful, to-the-point prose after I provided it with minor but proper guidance, taking me under 10 minutes. All this to say that I am sure that if AI comes to replace someone, it will still be me, and the other idiot will still stay.

    • Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations

      By Abercrombe · Posted

      Call me when you can say, "Find all duplicate rows with duplicate email addresses and move the duplicate rows to a new sheet", and Copilot can execute that and not give you VBScript to write to do it. If anyone thinks AI isn't in its infancy and the bubble is about to burst, try to do anything meaningful in Excel with Copilot and you will realize AI hasn't even made it to kindergarten in most use cases yet.
