And with the buit-in iSight, you'll be able to look at yourself smile when you start it up the first time and take a snap shot so you'll have a picture of what u looked like as a little kid opening a gift ;)

probably not until tomorrow

Ugh! And that's another thing. I got the PowerBook specifically to do video conferencing while I was out of the country which means I have a brand-spanking new iSight that I have used less than a dozen times. And now this.

Okay, new echo:

4 to 5 times faster with built-in iSight!

Let's see... I do have a birthday coming up in February! And an anniversary in March! And then there's Mother's Day! :D

ARGH!
:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Well they did say that this year they would only publish it later on... And many poeple are pissed off like you are. Still wondering why they realy decided to change that.

Does anyone know how to interpret the battery life in the Tech Specs for the MacBook Pro?

MacWorld Keynote:

Yeah, it's slowwww.

So many people want to see it :)

wow.....was that quick or what i expected to see it tomorrow or within a couple days not within a couple HOURS.

Maybe they're in a hurry to get the news out!

This is a really big day for Apple.

Edited to say:

Either I'm losing it or a message was just deleted! My quote was gone and the message I was quoting was gone, too! :confused:

Can someone just delete this message since the one I was replying to was either moved or deleted? Thanks! :)

I have to admit that it would be nice if Apple would make the built in iSight a BTO option. Problem is that it will not be allowed on some DOD installations, and i suppose compnies that ban built in camera things like phones. I hope they rethink this and make it BTO, otherwise no new macBook for me...*sigh*

it is already but you can get it here: http://stream.qtv.apple.com/events/j...06_650_ref.mov

Or they may offer a way to completely disable it... sucha s by removing the kext files for it then reboot and make sure users don't have their install cds :D

Fantastic! Perfect timing!!

This is fantastic and more than I dared hoped for! Haven’t checked the details – but both a new iMac and a PowerBook. The advertised speed of these Intel-embracing Macs sounds like a great leap forward. The slogan and advertising punch are ingenious! (I’ll forgive the clumsy new name for the laptop.)

I love the timing! :)
Really glad that we held back investments in 2005. (I’ll make it up to my girlfriend by purchasing one for her first.) Now, for $ 2500 I can get a fully loaded 20" iMac. Front Row, iLife06 and built-in BlueTooth in the bargain. Upgraded with 2 gig RAM, 0.5 Tb harddisk, wireless keyboard and mouse for a modest price. The complete package for far less than I paid for my PowerBook in 2003. I’m sold!! :D

I do notice that Apple hasn’t had time to upgrade their Aperture specifications, but I would be astonished if this new Mac isn’t powerful enough to drive the software.

I’m pleased as (Apple) pie!

:) :) :)

Check this out:

on the bottom, does it make sense where it says "anti productivity"?

It caught me a little by surprise...but maybe it does make sense and i'm just reading it wrong.

I think they are trying to stress how "fun" it is to use iLife, but anti-productivity just sounds bad

MacBook Pro....

so they will either keep the name iBook, or name it MacBook?

I wonder what Apple will do for their birthday. Something special, no doubt.

I'm glad I didn't buy Office for Mac a few weeks ago. Instead, I will get iWork '06. The only programs I would use in Office are Word and PowerPoint, and I like Keynote much more than PowerPoint.

While I was watching the keynote, I got kinda wrapped up in the RDF, but towards the end, I thought to myself "D'oh! No Leopard preview!"

Now I have something in June to really look forward to!

Good luck for all three of those days! I imagine the '4 to 5 times faster' is true in some sense, but I don't see how it can be really true (whatever that means). Here is a link from the Daring Fireball linked list.

Interesting reading, Oops! I'm sure we will hear a lot more regarding the performance promises in the new MacBook Pros. This is one reason why I generally shy away from any first generation of a new product.
