Seems that though some lucky guessing down in the "Suggestions" threat I've figured out that there will be a Jaguar update code-named Gollum or Smeagol that will let Jag run on the 970.
So, any guesses as to what else (if anything) this update will include?

It will be called Phoerus and will include:
ONLY IMPROVEMENTS TO THE FairPlay?-Framework that is the key to play Locked AAC-Files.
It adds AAC2, FairPlay?2
and it will disable the possibility to mount the iPod with USB 1.1 / 2.0 (powermac g4/powerbook g4 produced after april)
How do i know this?
i work at AppleCare French in Corcaigh (Ireland)

panther should, according to the rumors, not only run the 970 nicely, but will also give a nice kick to the G4 macs out there also...

That's what I believe too. 10.2.7 will be 970 equivalent to what 7.1.2 was for the first PowerMacintosh generation.

Nope. Mac OS X in itself won't update anything iTunes- or QuickTime-related. Plus this is the first time I've heard of "AAC2". Who developed it in such a short time? Dolby? Aren't they busy doing other things?

Say whaaaat.

Thanks, can I get the credit card number, too?
There are many withstanding bugs in Jaguar I'd rather have Apple focus on, with a release in a week or two or asap.

Why would it be updated for the 970? I thought Panther was going to be released with them.
Panther won't be released in two weeks.

But the FairPlay?-AAC Listening rights managmend is guided by the OS and not iTunes.
Nope. The OS doesn't have DRM frameworks.

Yup. The DRM is handled by QuickTime, not Mac OS X. QuickTime is of course part of Mac OS X. Basically all the multimedia in X is handled by Quicktime. All the sound, video and pictures you see. However, QuickTime is updated seperately from Mac OS X.
AAC2? WTF? AAC support was only introduced in iTunes a couple of months ago! Also, why would Apple be using Fairplay 2? Why f*** up the iTMS for everyone, when Fairplay 1 hasn't been cracked yet (AFAIK - please inform me if otherwise
The iPod comment is the only believable thing in there, but because of the other BS I don't trust you.

AAC2 and FairPlay2? Right.

there will be a pre-release test version of panther shown at WWDC and maybe even some preview copies going home with some of the developers...but if the new macs come out at WWDC panther will not be ready for home or office use...the new PMs and maybe new other 970 hardware will all run jaguar till the release of panther in september...that is why we will see one more update to jaguar (we may see two updates as there is bound to be some bugs in any version 1 release)...so WWDC keynote we preview panther and then see new hardware...new hardware comes in early july with 10.2.7...then one more point release (10.2.8 ) to stamp a few 970 bugs in august...then panther, 10.3, released in sept...quickly followed by 10.3.1 (bug fix) and 10.3.2 (powerbook addition) etc etc

I think that he means AAC for MPEG-4. There was an AAC codec for MPEG-2. The one that Apple is using is one that was developed for MPEG4. Sorta like AAC version 2.0. Unless I am mistaken.

Apple doesn't and will not support MPEG-2 AAC. So I still don't see that guy's point. He's just a liar.

I'm not saying he has a point. I'm just saying that I think what he means by 'AAC2' is the MPEG4 AAC. Doesn't mean that his statement was true, though. I never claimed it was.

He meant nothing except for sounding interesting by adding the number 2 to various things.

TheGelding you're right! Why didn't I see this before. Of course Apple will make everyone buy the G5 then pay even more money separately for Panther. Apple and its usual tricks, biting the hand that feeds it.
I guess you haven't been paying attention to the front page.
