Why so few posts of late? New HD for Indies Announcements Forthcoming
Hey all -
so why so quiet this week with so much still to report from NAB?
Bwahahahahhaaaaaa....there be reasons, chile.
If I blog all day, I can't work on New Things.
Some hints:
1.) If you've been thinking about buying a Mac edit system, maybe holding off a few days could be a good idea.
2.) If you don't have a Google and PayPal account set up yet (for shame!), now might be a good time. And if they are both under the same email address, all the better.
3.) YES, I said announcements, plural.
Intrigued?
Good - then my work here is done.
Stay tuned over the next several days, by sometime next week some Good Things shall be revealed....

I haven't a clue what this is or why Gmail and Paypal would factor in. I guess I'll just have to be patient.
I can't figure that angle either, but I'm on the edge of my seat!

I have a MP 2.66 that still hasn't shipped from last week....... hmmmmmm.... cancel now?
I have a pretty good line on Mac rumors, and get tips and stuff from Apple employees who I am friends with, even over lunch, or beer, they will only drop vague hints.
I haven't heard of updates or anything big coming out, but I haven't asked in a few weeks. Last I heard nothing till WWDC, and that was possible speed bumps in laptops.
Has Mike ever posted anything before? Mike seems like a 12 year old. Also claiming he is working on stuff, automatically means if he is "correct" that he lost his job. Would a product designer who worked for years to get on projects throw it all away so he could tell teenagers 4 days early about a mac update? I doubt it... And if so, good luck to him at unemployment.

I assume since the 8 core's mobo didn't get an update that was all we were getting until Aug. New video cards are possible. I wouldn't hold off a purchase for those.
My MacPro order did get delayed today for some reason. That makes me curious as to what is up.

Off the top of my head iPhone service charge payments thru paypal?
Sounds crazy, but IS thinking different.
He's probably just selling his G5 in a few days.
If they released a cube with desktop hard drives and a good GPU then I could see people looking towards the cheaper system for editing, otherwise no.
The Google comment might mean Google is about to take over Paypal or possibly ebay. From googling, it seems Google has tried to set up an alternative to Paypal (Google Wallet) but due to the popularity of Paypal, a buyout would make sense.
Suffice to say, the next couple of weeks will finally have at least some news we've been waiting months to hear and it just starts the ball rolling for more and more news as we move closer to WWDC.
Santa Rosa is coming on the 9th, just 5 days from now. I don't know how that will affect edit systems unless somehow this guy is thinking that given the faster system buses etc, why not buy an iMac or such instead of a Mac Pro. Editing systems are more bandwidth than CPU intensive.
I think by "editing system" and "several products" "Mike" may have been referring to a professional system like the Macbook Pro, released and revamped to handle the recently released CS3 and FC Studio apps.
I would think that the "several products" comment, taken in conjunction with Steve Jobs recent press release, would mean that both the MBPs and the Macbooks will be updated. What better way to grab the attention of the media and capitalize on the Greener Apple statement he just put out than quickly releasing LED portables (remember that large LEDs are a ways away because of cost, even Steve said so - so new LED iMac just yet).
If you recall, Steve did the same thing with his DRM letter. He put out a DRM letter to the public right before the deal with EMI went through to reaffirm the fact that he is the emerging king of media, and that the industry will do his bidding. Anyone else find that timing (and the timing of this Greener Apple letter) curious?
For the front side and backside of the web.
Ruby and friends.
My guess is a web 2.0 editor like Xcode and Interface builder.

I don't doubt that these (software) products would/will be released by Apple in the near future, but remember that this particular rumor hints at upgraded hardware offerings.

And Mike focuses on Video stuff not web development.
so it could be some kind of payment everytime somebody watches it and it has be be edited in final cut, i movie
I'm leaning towards him getting into selling bundles (as mentioned in the comments). It would make the most sense and probably be pretty lucrative for him given his traffic.
