New Apple Announcements?

[royalcrown]

I agree that it's kinda out of place on an amiga site, BUT you guys are all being crab a$$3S IMO. The Pro is kinda cool looking but should just be a 3rd option and not a replacement for the tower form. Linda in between the pro and Imac. Apple Ipro .

OS 7 looks good from an Ipad perspective, now we just need IUAE

[royalcrown]

just a rip off

Sweet, I can easily keep the inside clean and dusted. Where can I obtain one of these Iwipes ?!:idea:

You sir, are a genius !

I dunno...i think optical is still good for when you screw up your system. What I don't get is that 4 to 8 gig sd cards could be pretty cheap if they sold more of them right ? Why not just put the OS disk and utilities on a cheap, non writable one and give every computer a bootable sd slot ?

No more scratched media, but easier to lose...so it evens out as far as selling replacement copies too.

And Mac Pro is an anagram of Mo Crap.

Mo' crap from apple.

I happen to like apple...but I still have to +1 you on that

Since I just sold my Imac, I can tell you recovery media was supplied until LION with the Imacs and the Macbook series. Starting with LION, one had the option of USB key, bu5t you could buy lion from the store (best buy for 29.99). After Lion (current is Mountain Lion)
only options are usb key from Apple store, roll your own USB key (easy), or download from App Store).

I still run OSX (mountain Lion) on my pc (this one I post with
).

Not meaning to sound flamey...just filling you in on the current state of restore media as you prob not an apple fan from the sound of it.

Thanks.

To be honest I'm not an apple hater, just not a fan either. I guess I'm just down on big corporate greedy self serving capitalist scum in general.

It's nice to know some fellow Amigans have a sense of humour though, it's an important part of being human.

But we needed those scum to fund C= development (Irving Gould) and later ruin it (Amiga)

First to get it invented - C64

Later, so my $200 dollar 64 did not cost 205.00 or 210.00 even by paying workers a good wage ! That extra 10 would've ruined it...greedy bastards !

( Actually, I think if Jack would've been more greedy on the retail end by 5 bucks, he could've made the money he needed to expand and tell Gould to F OFF ! They might've had enough money to pay suppliers, roll out a good graphics chip, and get the parts they needed to sell enough Amigas to still be around, or at least be around longer.)

Brian Bagnell's book is a great read, worth the 9 bucks (as much as I hate kindle - I converted it to Ebook - Take THAT Amazon)

On the edge: the spectacular rise and fall of Commodore

Internal PCIe cards are not needed when you have 20gbps data flow over thunderbolt. If what you need isn't already inside you just add an enclosure and the card you want and voila, you're good to go. Even better, you can take that enclosure and use it on your laptop too if you need it on the go.

True, but that sh## costs too much still, why I bought A non TB board vs TB..by the time it's reasonable...thunderbolt 3 will be out !

This book actually covers some Apple goings on and covers the demotion of WOZ about 1/2 way through. Since apple was right across the street from C=, and C='S lead designer worked at apple for awile, we get some good gossip and such about when they started to turn evil (apple).

It's a good horror story (the book) in it's own right, even got some corp. espionage

I may try some of what you are reading after this book.

I should read it, I know I should but I just can't help reading Lovecraftian horror instead.

It's a strange thing though, I notice a lot of IT companies start off with some clever people who are idealistic and not overly concerned with making cash. They just end up as evil corporations when they start selling shares and are driven by keeping the short term interests of those shareholders happy. Let's face it, some of them even get arrogant enough to then sack the guys who started it. It's sad when such a company looses it's Jobs...
....hold on this is sounding familiar, but then this is an Apple thread.

I'm worried that the tubular apple will lead to apples globalization, then to apples  half globalization...and eventually......

hence, the forum 'Other Operating Systems'.  Sheesh, can't you people read?

It's not like the pipeline is clogged on here of overflowing news of our 20yr old dead platform and we can't allow news from the 'outside world'.

Us amigans must be the most uptight bunch on the planet.

It CAN'T be dead...I just got mine...nooooooooooo :laughing:

@kickstart:

Are you going to patent that Ibrush thing...or can I have it ?
