It would be great if they will introduce a 23" iMac with a built in TV-tuner and a revision of Front Row :)

Anyone with a lick of common sense could have guessed the timing for the Verizon iPhone last year so TechCrunch's source doesn't impress me that much.
I'm skeptical of these post June/July launch dates for the iPhone 5 but I suppose we will eventually find out.

* An unconfirmed forum post claims (http://forums.macnn.com/showthread.php?t=304580) that the Mac Pro CPUs are swappable.
Intel price for 2.66 GHz woodcrest is $690, 3.00 is $851, and you need two of them. Instead of upgrading, you might as well buy another Mac Pro.

This is complete bullcrap, people. Over the air updates will come, but over WiFi. Doing this over 3G makes no sense.

If you're are noticing slowdowns, max your RAM, and get a RAID card. If you're peaking both processors with 2GB of RAM, and an U160 SCSI, or ATA 133 RAID, complain, otherwise, you don't really have a right to!

There are still more than 500 Radio Shack's left? Can't believe they're not out of business yet lol!
I'm surprised they are still in business as well. They've been around a long time, I remember they used to be the place to get batteries. They are just like the Energizer bunny, they just keep going and going... Good for them for staying in the game.

I just bought a Macbook Pro literally 5 minutes ago. I've been waiting for months and I finally gave up. After the order was completed, I thought I'd check macrumors just for laughs and the first thing I saw was, "new macbook pros tomorrow?" :(
"Giving up" does not mean buying outdated technology for top dollar. If you were truly giving up on waiting, you should have also given up on Apple -- who did not value your interest enough to give you either a discount or some indication as to when updates would be released.

I think this will make the iPad 3 very revolutionary. I think it will be crazy but i hope its like the 3d in the 3DS and not with glasses. But i can definitely see 3D coming to all iOS devices and eventually to OSX devices as the bridge between the two systems will become closer and closer as we go into into the future.

In other words, what we saw tonight was nowhere near the final form of the application.
This statement has me a bit puzzled. FCP is supposed to be out in around 2 months. Are they going to rush the rest into FCP in this amount of time, or get the basics in there, then drag onto multiple updates?
Not at all. They wanted to give folks a taste. Back in February they had enough to do that and 'locked' the current form (with perhaps some things left out on purpose) as the demo. Showed it to a select group and then saved it for last night,
Then kept working on FCP and everything else (which has been under work for a while)

Just an example of a generic office budget ... the City of Toronto has 44 Councillors with an annual office budget of over $50,000 each (most of it used on "useless" crap)
Our new Mayor Rob Ford actually spends $0 every year of his office budget.
lets cut that in half to "reasonable"... all across the country in every city town and county.
Another example is that Mayor in Southern California making over $800,000 per year ... think he is the only one?
We need to weed out this "useless" waste and get back on track ... this kind of Government feeding at the trough is what is bankrupting our countries ... not the Military budgets.
Toronto spent over 1.25 Billion Dollars over a weekend to host that G20 summit ... WTF
and people think shaving a couple of hundred billion on the Military is the big solution.

9 to 5 Mac reports (http://www.9to5mac.com/new-macbook-pros-5464563) that it has received word from a tipster claiming that Apple is set to be released as soon as tomorrow, although the launch may be delayed until next Tuesday. The report follows an earlier claim (http://www.macrumors.com/2010/03/10/new-hexacore-mac-pros-next-tuesday/) of new Mac Pro models set for launch next Tuesday. According to the source:The MacBook Pro will be released on the same day as Mac Pro. We are scheduled for a Friday morning release but with the amount of updates may be pushed to Tuesday. ipad is number 1 and everything else is as time permits. Look for i5 in base macbook pro with i7 in higher end 15 and 17 inch.9 to 5 Mac offers no assessment of the reliability of the source, and rumor sites frequently receive incorrect information from sources claiming to be in the know. Consequently, we currently view this report with considerable skepticism pending additional information.
The MacBook Pros were last (http://www.macrumors.com/2009/06/08/apple-updates-13-aluminum-macbook-rebranded-as-macbook-pro/) updated (http://www.macrumors.com/2009/06/08/apple-releases-new-15-macbook-pro-updates-17-macbook-pro/) in June and are due for a refresh (http://www.macrumors.com/members/buyersguide/#MacBook_Pro). Evidence of a Core i7-based MacBook Pro surfaced (http://www.macrumors.com/2010/02/06/unreleased-core-i7-macbook-pro-61-benchmarked-supplies-constrained/) in Geekbench's results just over a month ago, and a number of other reports (http://www.macrumors.com/2010/02/17/the-wait-for-new-macbook-pros-continues-more-best-buy-skus-found/) of new machines appeared in subsequent weeks. The rumor mill has been relatively quiet for the past couple of weeks, however, despite considerable interest in and expectation of updated models.
Update: 9 to 5 Mac now reports that the cited source may have been a hoax, although it notes that it has received multiple tips of a MacBook Pro release in the very near future.

Then maybe spammers will realize that this is a whole new fertile ground for their sludge. So you'll be walking down the street and suddenly a box will pop up over your interface that says "User "*BUY CHEAP VIAGRA*" wants to send you the song "ONLY 5 DOLLARS PER BOTTLE!!!" by "WWW.WE-R-SPAM.COM" Do you want to accept?"
Actually, the message will say "USER "bUy cH3aP V!@gr@" wants to send you the song "oNLY $5 DLRS per b ottl e!!!" Do you want to accept?"
But you had the right idea. :D

Pros...
#1 Album Artwork. No more Google searches.
#2 Gapless playback. Now i can playback my 70 minute prog rock albums as they were intended
Cons...
#1 Movies 640 by 480? No widescreen or animorphic? forget that! I haven't bought a 4x3 movie since 1998
#2 Still can't burn it. I won't buy anything I can't burn an play in a DVD player. iTV could posibly change my mind. We'll see.

Apple does not care to support flash on their devices because it is horribly inefficient and has been holding back progression of the internet for over a decade. Instead of using much more efficient open standards that the world wide web is founded upon, companies like Adobe and Microsoft are more interested in locking you into their inferior technologies in order to maintain revenue! Until Flash dies Apple will continue to support the progression of the internet using approved standards!
FLASH SUCKS! GO SUCK ONE ADOBE! :p
Drinking from the Apple koolaid again, huh?
Perhaps if you pulled your head out of SJ's bum long enough to look around, you'd notice the vast majority of iPhone users are being punished in Apple's attempt to mold the internet in it's own image.
A large number of websites use flash in their design, and are completely inaccessible without flash support. Inefficient or not, that's fact, and we're the losers here.

As has been stated a million times today already, Apple bought out CoverFlow, they didn't rip anybody off.

Here is what I suspect...
1) If no major case changes, a quiet introduction like today's iMac
2) If a major case and feature change, a "One More Thing"� next week...
3) Perhaps the reason for the delay in introduction is the Meroms are still constrained and Apple wanted them in the iMacs first.
Either way, I'm anticipating them to be introduced soon and I'll be in line as quickly as possible along with many here to buy one.

Time Machine is nothing like System Restore. Time Machine allows you to find multiple previous versions of a file. For example, if you accidentally save a revised file without changing the name with "Save As", you can still go back to the previous version of the file if you decide you don't like the revisions or if a file is lost or damaged...
Time Machine reminds me a little bit about how MS-Word allows "Quick Saves" to documents: what it basically does is leave the original file alone, but then appends the incremental changes to the end of the file. It makes saving the file faster, at the expense of making the file slower to load (and larger).
From here, its not too much of a leap. Simply:
a) Take what MS had had for years and make it crash-proof
b) Extend it from one Application to be supported System wide.
Now if Apple can only beat MS out of the gate on the release date...
They could do ads like this:
(Cue I'm a Mac/I'm a PC music.)
Mac: Hello, I'm a Mac.
PC: And I'm a PC.
Mac: You know, I'm really excited, I have this new operating system called Leopard...
PC: Oh yes, I 'm going to have a new operating system too, called Vista...sometime soon...I think...well, at least there's an 80% chance I will...
Mac: That's great! ...
Personally, I don't think that's going to be Apple's strategy: I think Steve's laying the groundwork for a big "Mindshare" grab by raising the bar right after Vista finally ships.
(Cue I'm a Mac/I'm a PC music.)
Mac: Hello, I'm a Mac.
PC: And I'm a PC.
Mac: Hey, congratuations - Vista has finally shipped!
PC: Well, thanks. As you see, I can now do this...
Mac: Yeah, I had that last year (Tiger)
PC: And I can now also do this...
Mac: That's really great (2004; Panther)
PC: And I can now also do this...
Mac: And its about time (2003; Jaguar)
PC: so I now just about have everything Apple said it would give you when it previewed your new OS five months ago.
Mac: yeah, well now that Vista's shipped, we no longer have to worry about being too distracting to Vista's developers.
PC: you, distracting?
Mac: Uh, yeah. I mean, you really, really, needed a more secure OS.
PC: Gosh, you can say that again. But...distracting?
Mac: Well, we didn't exactly announce everything we shipped. Ever heard of "One More Thing"? (insert mind-blowing new features here).
PC: That's not in Vista.
Mac: Oh, and this stuff has already shipped too...its included -free- in Leopard. Mac users just need to do a "Software Update" to get it activated.
PC: you know, come to think of it, I haven't opened that Vista upgrade yet, so I can still return it. And my hardware is getting pretty old. Hey Mac, think you might be able to help me pick out a new machine?
Mac: Have you been to 5th Avenue in New York recently...?
