MacDailyNews - Where Mac news comes first

Yavolt, baby!

I hope it's true this time! I've been waiting for it!

Das ist Good....

Von Himmel!

ein tansa bitte

Firewire 800 ist good!!!

Himmel auf Erden

Ich bin Cubert!

OK. I'll stop now.

Hopefully Apple will incorporate some of the new MacBook features in the MBP - like the magnetic power cord and especially the magnetic latching system to keep the display closed - mine in ready for a third latch.

ken,

MacBook Pros already feature Apple's patent-pending MagSafe magnetic power cord connector.

Vista-- ganz beschissen. Aber, was kann ich sagen? Die Meisten Mist lieben.

scheißendreck...wurde ja auch langsam zeit.

BTW, go see shortbus!!! Haven't laughed so much in me whole life. 8P

Yeah, I agree with part of Ken's comment (and I realize that it already has the magnetic power adapter) about the magnetic latch. My partner has the MacBook and I totally dig the magnetic display closure. I'm waiting for the MBP to get an update and then it's on my Christmas wish-list.

Umm, since when is a rumor more credible just because it's written in german? Just asking, okay?

tmas
relax it is friday

you know what? F Steve Jobs........always ALMOST enough to make my life better....... (looking at the re-boot screen with the spinning logo for 10 minutes now).....


You people are sheep....I swear.....I've put up with this sh*t since 10.1 Iv'e HAD IT!!!!!!!!

Yeah I know, it's "well, this dosen't work but it's windows fault".........



I'm done. User since 1998, and yes still have my Wallstreet....

JDH
mdw "tax" Macs recently have been a tax my blood pressure, or better yet, my sanity.....oh and btw....
fw Ampar. There I said it. (lov_a though)

CORRECTION


Put up with this S(*t since.....OS8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




mw - friend -----as in you all are insane.

@jdh

You'd better get back on your meds, and btw your insanity is hardly Apple's fault...probably a chemical imbalance.

I had a problem in German once.

jdh

Whatever you're on, take half the dose.

OK.,

well.....(ARGH!)

@FUDsucker Proxy

No, no meds......I'm bitter, I'm sorry....os 9 locked up now and then but damn..........

mw trade - as in I wouldn't trade these macs for anythimg else......

JDh... do you realize what you typed? "mw trade - as in I wouldn't trade these macs for anythimg else......"
sorry about your troubles... 10.4 works just about perfect for me.

Well..........if you consider me insane.....I'm the guy you pass on the street that you steer well clear of.....and should...but that's not the issue here. Im a Mac user, like it or not, there is thousands of us out there. I bought into the "just works" adverts.

I'm not done yet.

mw story

yep, I'm gonna tell all. No meds involved. No windoze either.

I am not trying to bash Apple, if it seems that way well...you don't get what I am trying to say. I would think since 1998 I have been trying to "THINK DIFFERENT" I'm not against you...but sh*^..

mw "soviet"


OK, well this should show the redneck texan I is.....
I don't know what this is. and yes there are lots of us out there....

I'm waiting till the MacBooks are 64-bit with dedicated graphics card, 802.11n and Blu-Ray/HD-DVD. That should give me a coupla years to save up!

Oh, and an ultra-portable version would be nice too. If not I'll settle for the 13".

JDh,

No one cares about your problems. If you don't like it, don't use it. End of story.

jdh

go play @ slashdot, no one here cares

you boys better stop paying so rough, someone is gonna start cryin...

Ken, you homo, MacBook Pros had the magnetic cord FIRST, you fuck-face, cack-smoker.

FireWire 800 is back where it belongs.

Now start working on FireWire 1600 and for God's sake, use the same connection this time!

OK for the MacBooks - we don't need a Core 2 Duo processor. Just upgrade the MBP so that makes it look better and there's incentive to upgrade (although we all know its hardly faster).

Then upgrade the graphics in the Macbook to like a 128mb Radeon, or maybe 64 will do, so its a nice consumer gaming laptop as well as everything else. People will still buy the Pro for its core 2 processor and all the gimmicks.

"Americanised by us"?!

Why?

Seriously, when will you accept you have an INTERNATIONAL audience and leave translations (provided entirely as favours) in their original, perfectly acceptable English.

JDH....after you're done with snifffing glue it's wise to have a look at your system.....I've been using OSX for...well years it is...with exception of the first version all i can say it's just very very stable: we use it on daily basis in our graphic design dep. and we do some realy serious stuff with it like the catlogue production: 700 pages full colour hires bla bla bla bla...(filemaker, ODBC connection with server, OSX server, CS 2 and gigs of artwork/product pictures...the whole nine yards..). When i read about your problems i instantly wondered if you UPGRADED your mac or did a clean install? What mac are you using and what other, system related, software is installed? I think you just have a very unhappy system.. which is odd because all of my systems are running smooth as silk: from a dual Quicksilver to a mirrordoor up to an dual 2ghz G5...well 4 of them... no problem at all with exception of OS X server where the netinfo dB got corrupted twice: no more login to server...arrghhhh but solved it easily thanks to this great OS.....try it in Windows server....

FireWire 1600 is already there.
It's called SATA.

But I would be happy with FW800 on MBP for now.

Apple will definitely want to get everything running Core 2 Duo, since Leopard will be 64bit enabled. Vista's ridiculously crappy implementation of 64 bit is going to allow Apple a big head start - 64bit chips need to be in everything though.

MacBooks will still have Intel integrated graphics. Maybe a high-end one will have x1400 or something, but I doubt it.

MacBook Pros will probably not get faster graphics in the 15.4" model - too hot. The x1600 is already nerfed pretty bad to prevent overheating. The 17" model could MAYBE get an x1800, but probably not at 1" thick. I wouldn't expect any graphics card upgrades until next year.

Next spring we'll get the 800mhz memory (4GB max) Core 2 Duo laptop chipsets from Intel, with Flash RAM used for hard drive cache. Upgraded integrated graphics too. 802.11n wireless. 200GB laptop drives. Leopard will have resolution-independence, so expect higher resolution laptops - finally the MacBook Pro HD! There should be faster graphics available by then that will work with the 1" Apple laptops, too. Maybe even Blu-ray drives in laptops, but probably not until fall. We'll certainly see a MacBook Pro case redesign. 2007 will be a fun year for Apple laptops! Price points will probably stay the same...

Balmer ist arshloch und warmerbruder...
Yaaaa.

MacGadget got it dead right a while back - I can't remember what it was - but I do remember that they were the only ones who did get it right.

Jdh, may I suggest you take your Mac to an Apple Store and spend some time with one of the Genius Bar techs. Also, there are some great Mac forums where you can post about your technical problems and get advice on solutions. Apple's Support discussions forum might be of help too.

I think the majority of Mac OS X users would agree that the OS is VERY stable and reliable. If you are having some specific issues, it indicates there is something wrong and you shouldn't take that to mean Mac OS X is just like that. If you take the time to get the problem resolved (whether it's hardware or software) you'll be glad you did!

Andy C: Thorzine isn't available at the Genius Bar. I suggest 6-10 electro-shock treatments, and then a trip to the Gateway store. They have those metal stools that swivel and make a nice match to the aluminum foil he probally has wrapped around his head.

Two words that I want to hear:

Blue Ray.

Cog--

Have you considered the possibility that the translation was Americanized due to the fact that it is being published by an American company? Just a thought...

A legitimate news service would present a statement verbatim, even an externally supplied translation (assuming they can't, won't or don't supply their own). Since MDN is attempting to be a legitimate news service, it is inappropriate to change a translation from British or International English (as you'd expect from a German translator) to American purely for the sake of "being American". Actually, it's beyond inappropriate. It's insulting, both to the translator and to the audience.

mehr Leistung pro Watt ist immer besser.

Man I really want to buy a macbook 13.3" but I am waiting for an upgrade.
- I hope it includes Upgrades to:
1) Core 2 Duo
2) Better Graphics - what is the 64mb card all about, apple has to keep up with the competition (i know spaced is needed - but im sure they could upgrade to 128mb card)
3) Dual Layer Burner
