Oh, and it’s been 1,000 days since iPod Classic has been updated.
Apple cares not for consumers.
Discuss.

The folks at Apple must be grinning from ear to ear at how all this speculation about the Mac Pro has created so much interest and attention around their lowest selling product. Right before their biggest conference, no less.

Kinda like how a lot of video gear manufacturers announce their yearly innovations right before NAB.
Some sort of weird conspiracy’s afoot I tell ya…

I wonder if the marketing folks at Apple see themselves more like train conductors trying to keep to schedules and release info at pre-determined moments of maximum impact (station stops) – or whether they see themselves as downhill skiers – they know where they want to go and the general route they need to negotiate to get there – but mindful of the fact that along the route, there will be all sorts of unexpected twists and turns and obstacles that have to be skied around.
A leak or a stolen prototype can easily derail their best laid routes. So it’s no wonder Tim Cook just publicly noted that Apple is “doubling down” on corporate security.
If nothing else, this reputation probably keeps the SEC off their backs – since nobody can accuse Apple of spending much time trying to pre-leak advances in order to manipulate the market!

Looks like my source was right.
I’m not that surprised she was.
Seems like if you are an independent dealer of Macs you should have some contacts to give you a hint to what’s up.

That would run counter to the “double down on secrecy” idea, though…
Sidebar — let’s say there’s some new Mac Pro sizzle core action days away from release. Who here will place an order immediately? Who here used to buy Mac Pros, but will now stick with iMacs or MBPs instead?

I’m finishing all the work I need to finish right now on my current MBP and my older Tower.
So I have the luxury of waiting.
If after the first few months, the early adopters are saying that any new hardware provides a significant production efficiency boost, then I’ll upgrade.
But I’m not stuck behind any unmet needs right now – so there’s not a need to jump ahead in my particular corner of the production world at this point.

I don’t know if it would if she got it from a supplier rather than Apple.
She doesn’t work for apple.
I don’t really know who she got it from.
Her information was right though.

If the information we’re hearing is right. Lots of bad info about the iPad right before release too.
