Go figure that D8 was the day before this BS announcement from AT&T;…
Steve would have been publicly called out onstage for AT&T;doing something like this.
It’s always about timing… And to think that the iPad 3G shipped April 30th and they’re already junking the “revolutionary” data plans.
That’s barely over 30 days ago!
@Two Things
1. You are an idiot and your two points are so wrong it’s funny, I laughed.
2. Anyone who believes your point number two is not just an idiot, they are insane. I’m sure you are not insane, so the only reason I can come up with for you saying that is that you are a troll.
Further proof you are a troll. Steve likes Walt, enough so that Walt takes criticism for it. Yeah, you are a troll.
The desktop OS will become the truck.
As an Albertan, I am witnessing the death of the car. The desktop OS becoming the truck means it will be even more ubiquitous than it was, where I live.
Flash on MDN never works for me (MacBook Pro and Click2Flash). Clicking on the Click2Flash placeholder brings up a black panel with the scrubbing scale and the play button to the left. Clicking play and nothing happens. Right-clicking on the panel brings a menu containig “1.1.8”, “Settings…”, and “About Adobe Flash Player 10…”. Not very helpful. 1.1.8 what?
Flash works on most other sites. Am I missing something here.

Which is why I own a car *and* a truck. Don’t use the truck much, tho.

Looks like I’m becoming a truck driver.
videos are working on my iphone now. nice.
UN-edited FULL video link anyone?
First, I’m not a troll – like some other posters in this thread – I’m now what Steve calls a truck driver.
Second, Steve knows he’s playing with fire and betting the entire future of Apple on the iPad.
I know, he’s done it before but this is different. Millions of people need a personal computer. The iPad won’t do what they need.
So, bet the farm and see if you can manipulate the market as you have always done. Only, this time, it’s going to be harder since people will still want to do what they want to do.
It’s worth remembering that the iPad *requires* a Mac or PC to set it up. The iPad must link and sync to a current version of iTunes. The traditional desktop or laptop computer is still the “hub” device and doesn’t appear to be going away just yet. Now if they change the setup and/or syncing behavior with iPhone OS 4.0 (wireless/cloud syncing anyone?), then all bets are off.
Note that I’ve changed my name to honor the degradation Steve, in all his famous arrogance, has placed upon me. I’m not “uncomfortable” Mr. Jobs – I’m totally pissed.
The kind of disrespect you show for the Mac faithful is a travesty but certainly not unexpected. Knowing that driving us to MSoft is no better than just dropping us like a plague, only adds a profound insult to the injury you have dealt us.
May you and your “revolution” fail.
@ adam tow
please consider making available the ENTIRE interview, unedited. reading engadget’s transcript just isn’t the same.
pretty please….
@ChrissyOne
He spoke of the desktop becoming a truck (which is a useful and often utilitarian vehicle). But that is nothing new – Steve has been promoting the rise of mobile devices (including fully functional laptop alternatives to desktop computers) for years.
Mac OS X is not just a “desktop OS.” Mac OS X for server, desktop, and laptop computers will continue to evolve as a more capable and flexible alternative to the more focused consumer appliance device category currently based on the iPhone OS. It is also important to note that Mac OS X and the iPhone OS are close cousins.
I really don’t see an issue here. Laptops have become so powerful and capable that I have finally decided to make the switch at work after two decades. But I still have an iMac desktop at home.
C1:
Exactly.
@Two Things
Ever heard of the Macbook and Macbook Pro? They run Mac OS X. You have gone off of the deep end. Desktop computer sales have been decreasing for years as laptops have become more capable and less expensive. You can have the best of both worlds – performance (within reason), compactness, and portability.
People are getting so sensitive. Steve did not diss trucks or truck drivers. If you happen to live in Texas, you would know that a truck is a car that can offroad and carry motorcycles and other interesting stuff. The computer market is changing, though, and portability is king. Some of those devices will be focused consumer devices and others will be more powerful and flexible computers running Mac OS X. Please, get a clue on life.
“First, I’m not a troll”
Yes you are.
Because judging from your proper spelling and punctuation, you can’t be genuinely stupid enough to actually believe what you’re saying.
Apple sells millions of Macs every quarter, and they make a much better profit from them than they do from mobile devices.
To truly believe that this is the “end of the Mac era”(take a look at the increasing sales numbers. It’s more like the dawn of the Mac era) would require you to be too retarded to use a computer, let alone post comments on MDN.
The change being signaled by Steve Jobs is about reinventing the traditional desktop GUI, not discontinuing Macs.
And you’re perfectly aware of that, troll-boy.
MDN you are against flash still you embed this shit I can’t watch on my iPhone, why???
Got an email from Adam at allthingsD.com asking me to get the word out here. They encoded ALL of thier ATD-produced videos in iPhone-friendly h.264.
Best wishes
Rick
I love that man.
