Lack of USB 3 and eSATA and Blu Ray are legitimate complaints for high end users.
Intel doesn't have USB3 in their chipset yet. I'm not sure it's wise for Apple to put in a third party controller given the past history of third party USB controllers having compatibility problems. There's a spec, sure, but whatever Intel does will set the standard in the future including quirks and all. Do we want an entire generation of Macs with buggy USB3? This might not be as much of an issue today as it was in the late 90s due to a less Intel-centric world but I think Apple is still conservative about these things based on past experiences.
BluRay? Those things that hookup to your TV? The future of the Mac is no optical at all. It's like being upset that the iPod didn't include a CD player. Better sound quality? Yep. Plastic disks? Yep.
Does anyone know if the iPad OS update is coming out too during this event? Any info or speculation would be great. I'm hoping for multitasking with no decreased battery life.
Oh, let me. New iPods are all fine and good, but an iOS4 iTV is about the dumbest idea Steve Jobs has come up with. I still don't see the point of the iPad, which is a ten inch iPhone that can't even make phone calls. Now I'm going to buy this iTV thing and turn my TV set into a 55 inch iPhone?
I guess Steve O is on serious medication for his liver to be coming up with such foolish products. And they continue to turn their backs on their core business with the latest pitiful upgrades to the Mac. This company is rapidly heading for the dumpster.
Microsoft has a hit with Windows 7 and now they are going full guns in the mobile space. So long Apple. We'll miss you. Time to sell Apple and buy Microsoft.
This is what I love about Apple events, they always bring out the joker to keep us entertained before the serious fun starts.
"Time to sell Apple and buy Microsoft" Bwaaaahhhhh!!! See what i mean? Whoooohooo hahahaha your killing me man, killing me.
The pie and Kool Aid references are quite appropriate for this forum which is incredibly immature. All the iOS threads are populated by little babies near as I can tell. I much prefer to talk about the Mac but that is not done at Apple Insider, which should be renamed iPhone Fanboy insider IMHO.
I get "upset" when I am told to leave by other bigoted fanatics who have no right to tell me anything. And as far as "getting off" on rattling the fanboi cage and listening to the crying, you bet I get off doing it to them. I think the community here is hysterical and I love holding a mirror up to the people here and listening to them cringe in horror at what they see looking back at them.
I was afraid I was wasting my time, but thank you for at least not leaving things ambiguous. We are done.
I get "upset" when I am........ bigoted ......tell me ......getting off....... crying, you bet I get off ...... here...... and I love holding... up to ..... people..... listening to them .........
Hee-hee. How apt. Yes, in a totally different arena, but yes. If we could do a comparative structural analysis of their two personalities I would not be surprised to find a high level of congruence. One possible difference is that Fred grew into his sociopathology, Blackintosh may grow out of his.
Maybe. And maybe a million people bought this thing and put it in a drawer and forgot about it. Are you in every living room on earth? Spare me the "everyone is doing it so it must be right" argument.
Of course as people buy £400 machines and put them in a draw? Well perhaps, but in the majority of living rooms... I'm guessing not. As why do these companies make the app's? Because they like making app's? No, that's open sauce. Some people do buy Apple blindly, most don't. Get used to the idea iOS is doing well. Why do you hate it?

Pearls before swine, my friend. Save your electrons for those who are actually interested in intelligent discourse. This one isn't.

... Blah, blah, blah, blah.
I think that registering here and posting one diatribe after another is the dumbest idea you've come up with. No one is forcing you to buy anything from Apple. Don't you have anything better to do with your time than come here and bash everything Apple does? It's sad and pathetic.

Does anyone else find the english translation for Yerba Buena funny?
If you'll give me a few minutes to toke, I'm sure I'll find it a lot funnier!
