[Craig Seeman] “I understand he was not simply stating an opinion but was stating information from a source he believed to be reliable. “
No, I listened. He’s not representing anyone’s view but his own. He’s making no claim of inside knowledge. No mention of an inside source. He just thinks there will be more. Again, its way blown up.

[Craig Seeman] “being wrong would do some damage to his reputation as a writer.
“Damage? Naw. Its not like he was taking a stand or something. He hasn’t even written about it. Somebody asked him if he thought the Macpro was dead, he said “no,” and then somebody reported on the character of his smile. Le’s not take this moist towelette in the desert as anything more than it is. Yes, I believe he sometimes has good inside info, but it is hardly going to damage his career if there is no MacPro.

[Jeremy Garchow] “Don’t they assign email addresses at birth now?”
It’s all part of being part of the party.

[Tim Wilson] “[Tim Wilson] “Is Justin Long famous?”
Not Sam “Hot-spacho” Jackson, Zooey Deschanel, or John Malkovich famous.”
Ah, that’s for iDevices. Apple’s not abandoning those.
I guess that’s the true sign that Apple is abandoning the Mac Pro. Their last spokesperson for Mac was a fictitious character.
“Ah, once though–back in the Middle Earth world of the G5s–the Power Mac did have celebrity pull. Here’s the legendary Jeff Goldblum giving voice to the world’s most powerful personal computer:

Of course, you actually get to see him in this commercial that is a wee bit closer to Apple’s truer nature. We’re all just part of the party, after all.

[Tim Wilson] “[Chris Harlan] “I gotta say I like that! FCP Legend.”
As in “never existed” or “exaggerated beyond anything resembling what actually happened?”
“Naw. You’ve descended into myth. That FCP once existed is still historically possible, though not verifiable. There are stories, though, that once there was a mighty editing platform that…

[Jeremy Garchow] “OK, so if you’re sticking to FCP Legend,”
I gotta say I like that! FCP Legend. So much better than Legacy.

[Jeremy Garchow] “[Shane Ross] “EXACTLY! They are no longer in it for the raw computing power ”
They never were in it for the raw computing power.
“Oh, now, c’mon. You’ve gotta remember those G5 commercials where all you had to do was turn it on to get blown to the other side of the house. I say there was clearly a time they when they were strutting around to the tune of Raw Power.

They’ve just passed up so many opportunities to upgrade or reboot the line that their attitude toward it seems truly derelict. Every time I’ve seen this attitude from them before–Shake, for instance–it generally means bye-bye.
Now, The Loop does seem to get inside info from time to time, so if Jim Dalrymple seems as convinced as has been reported that the Mac Pro is ongoing, I’ll certainly reassess my POV for the time being. Still, everything else I’ve seen says Closing Time.

[Clint Wardlow] “I mean, I know Apple likes to wow us with sudden pronouncements of new hardware and software. And this may work for the iphone and ipad crowd.
“I think Apple just likes to be able to change their collective mind on a dime without ever having to acknowledge or apologize for changing direction. Oh, and the Pr from all of our burbling–they like that, too.

[Craig Seeman] “Jim Dalrymple from the Loop makes the claim.”
He’s definitely somebody I would listen to. So, hey–maybe after all.
