MacDailyNews - Where Mac news comes first

MacPro speculation? Notebooks? Paris show?

MDN word "french" - how'd you know? Or like, "Do you want fries with that mid-size tower?"

Did they edit out the section where the room fell silent after the price drop was announced?

Just watched the keynote. Viewed with a shareholder's eye, Steve is really kicking ass, and taking names. At 01:11:24, he has a near-demonic expression of "That's right, we're kicking your ass!"

Delicious!

MDN Word: quality

fries are NOT french ! they are from Belgium !

and, "entrée" means STARTER !, not main dish.


MDN Word: less, like in, you know a lot less about food and culture than u think

Zune Tang squirted himself today.

I love it when a keynote comes together.

What I've learned from Apple this year...

1. Don't update right away. I'm going to delay iTunes 7.4 because of 7.3. I spent my iPhone weekend trying to figure out why my iTunes library wouldn't save. Video podcasts.

2. Don't be an early adapter. First, I buy the AppleTV when it comes out. I waited since '06 for it. It was the piece that was missing from my iTunes/iPod/Digital life. It was a great product. A few months later, a larger... a much larger... hard drive appears. All I want is to have the USB port active so I can add an external HD. I'm on the outside looking in. I'm an apple fan because of their attention to detail and the ease of use for the consumer. I get burnt here. Then, I wait 6 months for an iPhone. I'm quoted one price. Two months later, the price drops $200. It's the risk I take, but that's a huge drop in such a short time. Don't fall for the iPhone trap. The 16 GB phone is coming in Jan.

3. When apple says release in a certain month, they mean the very last day of the month. iPhone, June 29th. Leopard release, Oct 31 which is a Wednesday. Trust me on that.

4. There was a time when Apple said here is this cool product and guess what, go buy it now. In Jan, we were shown AppleTV and iPhone. Delayed until Feb/March and June/July. Serious delays in Leopard. In Sept, they show us Ringtones, and iPodTouch. Delayed. We have to wait for the iTunes store on the iPhone. That should have been a day of update. They show us Starbucks... What's the deal? Not available until 2009 in my area. That was a serious downer.

I'm just venting... the no beatles (even though the event image was a perfect Sgt. Peppers set up) was really disappointing. The iPhone price drop hurt the worse. The $7 stock price drop sucked. No Leopard yet. The USB port on my AppleTV is still not active.

I will say... it's still better to be an apple fan than a Microsoft fan.

I'm surprised no one is complaining about the $.99 ringtone price. I'm sure Steve had to do this to make the record companies happy. That one doesn't bother me.

I can never get Quicktime to start these streams from Apple keynotes....is there a place where I can download it?

same deal here > i'm getting error everytime I try to watch on apple.com.

Is there somepalce else online, I can watch it or download it.

pls help soon, can't wait.

Can somebody buy Steve a new pair of jeans and a belt?!
