Well I will say this: It’s not time for an iMac update. Their usual timetable on that has been the fall, so I wasn’t expecting news on that front. iMac news will be thrown in with the New iPhone in September (or whenever).
Apple’s secrecy makes tons of sense when innovating, but products for professionals (of any stripe) aren’t innovative at all. In another forum I was reminded of Apple’s “no market research” policy, which I’m not sure I believe, but seems plausible given a pretty large blind spot when it comes to business. Practically everyone wants to work on a Mac. Likewise, those who can afford one buy one for home. The market is ripe for the taking, but Apple seems uninterested.
But hey, what can you expect when a company is taken over by an Auburn grad? 😉

Indeed. The lion’s share of recording studios use Mac Pros. In The next 8 months, I’d bet a large majority (like 85% or more) that do upgrade will move to PC. As for editors, it’s hard to say. Final Cut was never cross platform.
All that excitement over Smoke got a cold bath today.

They are everywhere, but what are we doing on them? It’s convenient for me for a few things, but severely inefficient for everything else. I’ve gotten the same feedback from everyone I know.

And then they swooped in and put enormous pressure on enterprise server and infrastructure solutions by… getting rid of their servers. And their large real-estate laptops. And all but stopped work to the workstation line.
And they are marketing all this SSD and processing power to people streaming their photos, making blogs for their kayaking trip, listening to music, reminding them to go grocery shipping, video chatting with their grand kids and updating twitter?? So the MacBook Pro is a mom machine?? Is this their idea of breaking into enterprise, because I’ll be damned if I try any of my real work on this iPad screen keyboard.

The funny thing to me is that some people I’ve talked to who aren’t connected into any of this stuff really believed that the iPhone and iPad was going to be the push that would lead to widespread Mac adoption in enterprise. I’m sure Apple must do extensive market research, so I must be wrong. It sure doesn’t feel like it, though.

I don’t know what everyone’s so upset about. Didn’t you see the guy cutting on FCP X out of the back of his SUV? I mean, X is all you need, and it works on the New Hyper Special Retina Skinny MacBook Pro! And all this time I was cutting at a desk, but clearly the new way of doing things is from my trunk, so I’m ready to embrace the new paradigm and be handsome and stuff.

Getting cloudy over this parade. Considering the leaked specs on the new Mac Pros turned out to be bogus, it don’t look like we’ll hear anything today. It could make a nice one more thing, but I doubt it.
FCPXs sales numbers are bad news for some on this forum, if you ask me.

Political commercials, especially negative ones. Total fun. Ominous music, headline clips, stock b-roll of white guys in a smokey room… Classic! I did a couple positive ones already this year for primary season (victorious, thanks to me) and I’m looking forward to the end of summer when it kicks up again.

Well, my perception has definitely changed. I liked it at first and used it for months. A couple weeks ago I finally moved everything out of it.

This keeps coming up… Relax!
