Yep, I wouldn't expect Apple to release a new Mac Pro until the Sandy Bridge-E chips are available. The non-E ones do not compare to the level normally used. To use current non-E Sandy Bridge would be a downgrade. Sandy Bridge-E not due...

DVD install is painfully slow. Praise be to the sense to get rid of them.

Aw, I read this headline expecting something new and exciting. They have those screens EVERY year. Author must be a WWDC-virgin.

Why is there a picture of Moscone South? WWDC is at Moscone West. The only point in queing earlier than 7am is to get closer to the front. I've always queued from about 7/7:30 and have been fairly happy where I've been sat. It really...

Wonder if Apple is using a version of Cougar Point with SATA 6Gbps. If they are, has it been limited in firmware. Remember they did that a while back? Limited a SATA 3Gbps system to 1.5Gbps and then later released a firmware update to...

This is typical MS not knowing its arse from its elbow. Balmer and Gates hate optical discs just like Steve Jobs. They don't like Blu-ray either and want to skip straight to digital copies but here we have the idiots they hire to do...

Seriously... multi-page article on scroll bars. Dozens of you talking about it? Are you kidding me?
