Please join us at WWDC in San Francisco on June 28 for a preview of Tiger, the next major release of Mac OS X. It will be worth it.

    I wonder if they play that particular song in the WWDC ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”smile” style=”border:0;” />
    I am there and I want to here it ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”smile” style=”border:0;” />

    I did not get that card. Damn it! Next time I don�t register so early!

  2. Hear that hum? The RDF generators are being fired up and goddamit I’m gonna undress to feel all its glory on the 28. Umm ok, that’s TMI but what can you expect from someone who thoroughly enjoys Steve’s keynote and whose CC is dying to be used for a new G5 and display? :0

  3. An iCard is just a simple JPEG pic.

    1. I dragged it off of my email and directly into my iDisk (Time: 5 sec).
    2. I went to my ,Mac and edited my download webpage (Time: 2 min).

    Where else can you edit a webpage with downloadable files so fast?!
    Hell, where can you edit ANY webpage so fast?

    .Mac rules
    The only thing with .Mac is that there is so many pc wankers that whine about that it costs almost nothing per year. Like mear $99.
    $hit. .Mac has saved so many ours and so many headaches for me that it should cost twice.. well three times so much as it does now.
    .Mac is like Exchange server for the rest of us and Exchange server really costs. Plus Exchange server does not support my iLife ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”wink” style=”border:0;” />

  5. I don’t know what it costs to attend WWDC, but Tiger must be pretty sexy to be worth it. Or…did anyone read something else into his words other than a fear of poor attendance?

    It costs around $1500 or you have to have ADC premium (that costs $3500) to get in. ADC premium includes free software and discounts from hardware etc.

    WWDC is THE years best happening around Apple planet.

    Nobody know for sure.
    Then again it is good publicity so we know for sure that it will be broadcasted live over the web.
    I think that there will be more people this year than year before.

  8. This Maccally keyboard really sucks. Don�t buy one.
    You can�t type fast with this. It “eats” letters.
    It would be so nice to have a new USB Apple Extended Keyboard.
    (from Apple that is)

    I have to use this for now because it also has Russian letters that I some times need.
    Tomorrow I will turn on the speeling chicker too?

  9. I certainly hope that artists rendition of the new display is wrong. Looks like a POS to me.

    Whats with all the buttons on the side? And all those ports and other BS. And how many cords is that thing supposed to have? 4?

    And how is that 6″ wide base supposed to balance 30″ of monitor?

  10. yeah those displays are exciting. the artists rendering doesn’t mean much, I remember seeing an artist rendering for the G5 and it looked absolutely horrible. Interesting how Apple is positioning itself to sell the displays to Windows users…gonna be good for the stock price…
