If true, I hope the DP 2giggers are real expensive and the SP are real cheap so that I can get a DP delivered before xmas (ie, so that no one wants to order the DP)
I came home last night just in time to catch it live on the Apple Store. Directed there by the BRussell'sfirst post on this thread. I stayed up til 4:00 AM refreshing this thread and others.
Great eye there BR! This could easily been missed, but now it will be forever part of Apple lore. Again, kudus to BRussell!
This changes everything. That the top end will deliver Intel crushing power and undeniable superiority for an "off the shelf" solution.
Over in the arse battlefront they are in denial:

Nothing to see here folks except another series of Apple paperweights.
Best advice is to load up on AAPL today as it is still in the teens. A window of opportunity to let AAPL buy your next system for you. I've been accumulating Apple stock for just over two years now in anticipation of this. Of course I was anticipating a Motorola G5 in '02 when I started. My how things have changed, overnight you might say.
15 pages in under 12 hours, that has got to be a new record
Part of me wishes I had the money for a new computer, because if my PB G4 500 didn't look slow before, it's going to now. Another part of me is saying "yes, but just imagine what will be on the market by the time you do have the money/need for a new computer."
If Apple were to announce anything this big on monday, wouldn't they stream the keynote on the web...?
food for thought
they are webcasting it monday afternoon...this could easily be the new way apple does these things...live in person at the show and a sat. feed to apple stores to get people at the stores for the big event...then reshow it later that day for geeks like me that have no apple store yet still want to see the show...

Of course they have the same stupid analysts predicting that this is just a temporary thing before moving to Intel because the IBM processor is "so far behind" Intel in terms of speed. Somebody shoot the bugger and put him out of his misery.

This pic was debunked.
Can one imagine the Altivec speed on a 1GHZ BUS!??
How fast theoretically would a dual 2gig G5 on a 1 Ghz bus encode a six minute song into a 128bit AAC file? Programmer, anyone?
Holy Cow!
Not bad in 18 months!!
Read the whole thread.
thanks.
so, will there be any other kind of live-coverage from the keynote? chat/newsfeed/anything?
