If you think about it, it's not all too surprising that some of these "professionals" are getting so worked up and sulky over this release. The notion that "pro editing" can belong to just about anyone, rather than an exclusive circle of elites, poses an existential crisis. Apple's re-thinking of editing is also a re-thinking of what it means to be "professional". The announcement sheds light on a future in which their "advanced", learned techniques are no longer advantageous. The "industry pros" are facing the plight of impending impotence. It's not something anyone would really openly admit, but I think they're feeling a bit naked, stripped of their status.
Who can blame them for being pissy?
Wonderful post! So the more "professional" editors we see getting "pissy" means the opposite of what one might think.
You mean i can't add unlimited tracks as i need to make my timelines look so complex that my clients quiver in the awesomeness of my brilliance.

OMG.
So we're supposed to go broke maintaining a bloated military to protect corporate interests abroad?
How insane is that?! :eek:

From the iPod release thread; "All that hype for an MP3 player? Break-thru digital device? The Reality Distiortion Field� is starting to warp Steve's mind if he thinks for one second that this thing is gonna take off."
Hah! Wow, all the angry comments of people who were so, so wrong.
Does this mean that people don't know what's good for them until its drummed into their heads for a while?

I have a 12" PowerBook and when I saw the new 13" MacBook, there is no comparison, Why are people waiting for a 12" ? Have you even seen the 13"?
it's a widescreen unlike the PB12... keep waiting, but it is not going to happen.
Anyhow, I have been waiting awhile for this upgrade, the store has been offline forever!!! Hurry apple.. My wallet is itching for one in black!!!
wahoooooo
i agree that there'll never be a 12" again, considering they've all gone widescreen. and as everyone noted, the 13" looks sweet, but its just not as portable. the wideness of it makes it more akward to hold than the 12" powerbook. im hoping they do release a 10" widescreen MBP next year. they'll definatly be stealing some Vaio engineers for that gig tho.

How does the NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 128MB compare to the ATI X1600? Is it faster, better, and or more reliable? I am assuming this is also underclocked?

Are Apple kidding? 640x480 resolution? For movies? What happened to widescreen? The last time I looked the year was 2006. :( :mad: :confused:

well, I've ordered my 24" iMac.
Stock-standard, 2-4 days shipping. Well, stock-standard barring the 2 x 1GB Corsair sticks I've already bought to go in it... :P
My first mac :)

You have to ask, "What drives inovation?" Consumer demand is usually the answer. Apple consumers, by and larger do not over clock, game, or generally tinker with it. If a standard hammer works to drive in a nail, why try to inovate on performance. Instead let's inovate on style, something the PC world is seriously lacking.
what about high end compositing/film editing ? What about the high end graphics market in general ? 3D anyone ? Apple has been very aggressive buying various software companies and technologies in the field, when are they going to deliver a matching workstation ?

Waited at Best Buy an hour before they opened to get one, even after reading a few messages in this thread about it only being reservations (call it dumb optimism). Unfortunately, same situation with reservations. Went to the Apple Store and they had ~16 iPads in the configuration I wanted (16GB WiFi, 6 black and 10 white). Should have just tried the Apple Store first. :rolleyes:

Hi There,
I ordered a Macbook on the 18th October through mac universe with a hard disk upgrade to 80gb and ram to 1gb. I have called daily ever since and have been constanty told that there is a component shortage and is in constraint.... :( Umm...I've been given the option to cancel but i daren't because i've got a sneaky feeling they might be sneeking a 2 core baddy in it... anyone having a similar experience out there?:D

Anyone knows how the GeForce 7600 GT compares to the Radeon X1X00 series?
Similar to the X1800 GT?
Must be better/faster than the X1600....
I believe the GeForce 7600 GT is on par with the X1800 GT, faster in some cases, slower in others. It's a pretty good graphics card. I would just like to see the GeForce 7600 GT bump out the 7300 GT on Mac Pro.

Oh whatever, I am buying a MBP by the end of this month when I have the cash ready. I could care less if it is the latest one out or not. I am sure that whatever I buy will suit my needs for years to come.
It's nice to see someone with some perspective and isn't complaining daily because an update with speed increases that they'll never even notice hasn't been released yet.

yeah, and it's way too long to be a proper mobile phone.
I really hope we don't get all excited expecting an apple phone and all it turns out to be is a remote for iChat.

Also, what about gods other than Jesus, are the good things performed in their name just as "selfless"?
Most of the jesus religions are exclusive (non-eclectic). Good can only come through jesus and his father. Things beyond or apart from them can be neutral or evil, but not good. That which arises from other sources has not been approved by the one true god and/or his son, so it cannot approach good. That which originates from another religion (sometimes even another sect of the same religion) must be bad or evil, because the beliefs that fail to properly recognize the truth of the saviour are corrupt and probably under the influence of the prince of darkness, bringer-of-light.
This attitude is real, persisting in the hearts and minds of the faithful. How intense it is varies from person to person, sect to sect, but I believe a similar sort of indoctrination is common with most of the other exclusive religions. This illustrates why I made the offensive statement on another thread, that believers seem to be functioning under self-imposed intellectual impairment.

firewire 800 also. nice :)
Why 1394b at 800 Mbps when eSATA at 3000 Mbps is available?
Apple missed the boat on the external storage front here.... It had a chance to be a leader, but instead is still pushing 1394.

You really are full of crap, aren't you?
"Most powerful desktop". Ha!
I will leave your personally offensive remarks aside, suggesting instead that you get a transvestite, oops, Dell PC, dude. I am sure you can find a better desktop in their highly confusing webshop. As for Gisele Buendchen, she stays on our side, thanks a lot... :rolleyes:
