Is there any way that the Mac Pro could yet again be forgotten? Penryns are supposed to be here in quantity now and it has been almost 2 years without a significant update.
All else is fine and dandy and I hope there are good updates all around, but if the the top-of-the-line goes without again I will begin to wonder if Apple's eye is solely focused on its consumer products to the exclusion of the pro platform.

I think it's definitely going to get updated. The question is, is Apple going to make it a full-fledged update with everything top of the line (including it's graphics card), or will they just make it some half-ass update and focus on consumer products?
I'm having faith and predicting that it will be a solid update.

I think it's really disturbing that we haven't heard many details about the Mac Pro update. Much less so than any other product. What we know has mostly come from analysts and hunches based on what Intel is releasing. \
I want Apple to come out with a headless home server, think Mac mini meets Drobo meets AirPort Extreme Base Station, with some X10 home automation action thrown in…
I want an Apple TV that has a next-gen optical drive, a CableCard slot & DVR functionality…
I want an Apple multi-touch slate-style Mac tablet for controlling everything, surfing the web, email, iChat, etc. I could work with a 13" panel…
And finally, I want an iPhone nano; focusing on cellphone, camera & MP3 duties. GPS in phone would work with tablet as interface, phone would also work as tether to connect tablet to internet when WiFi was not available.
And for 'One Last Thing' - Apple sunglasses with built-in headphones, microphones, cameras & monitors; all feeding to/from the tablet & cellphone. So I can be a gargoyle like in Snow Crash; just with more style…

Hey Casper 3... I was planning to buy a Macbook right after the MWSF '08... and I will be in Zagreb during that period for a business trip... can you please let me knoe if there are any Apple stores or resellers there????
A: that's the main problem, it works the following way: there is the time and date set and it counts down the time till that moment according to the time on your pc, when the moment is reached it redirects you to the apple.com. so it shows different results on different computers. so my suggestion is to set some time when the presentation video will be on the web site it is something like 10 hours later that 9 am, 15th of january, any suggestions?
q: can't see the time left under Fire Fox
A: mmm... it doesn’t work under Fire Fox, however works under IE and Safari...
q: It is safe?
A: Yes it is! It is hosted on my qixen-p.com server, no spy ware, no nothing... It uses flash, JavaScript (for better IE compatibility - a must use from the moment Microsoft included "Press here to activate this control" thing)
q: how much traffic is this?
A: it is 500kb.
q: Is it functional?
A: It can be used instead of an apple.com if you have it as you homepage. No search function and news updates however, other main links work just the way they should...

And that's coming straight from buddha. Ohhhhmmm.
The iMac just had one in August - 2007.
The iMac was updated a full 365 days sooner than the Mac Pro. My bets go for the Mac Pro getting updated. Just a guess.
C'mon Apple don't you want my money?
19 days to go and AAPL hit $200
Mac Pro: 500 days and counting.
Mac Pro: 500 days and counting.
Maybe there should be a widget that counts UP how many days the premier platform has been neglected.

I was thinking about that, but I was a little bit too embarrassed to ask. Thanks for doing the asking.
me too!
Panasonic just announced a 9.5mm Blu-Ray drive, so I think BTO options for blue-ray are very possible for Macworld.
It's not a slot-loading drive. At least, not in any of the pictures attached to the press release.
