You guys all need to calm friggin down. There's a 2GHz model. 2499 is for a mid model. The exact same price it used to be. And BTW 2499 for a quad core machine with the extras th…

With the two downgrades available at the Apple Store, you're looking at a quad for less than $2200. Summary of the Mac Pro release: Cut the price of a quad by over $1000 Doubled t…

Since they are all BTO, how will someone be able to return it if Apple doesn't take returns on BTO systems?

Who said they don't do returns on BTO/CTO? I've done it several times...

Before any other people decide to make this a rant feast, let me quickly compare: Power Mac - $1999 • two 2.0 GHz G5 cores, 1x1GHz bus • 512 MB RAM • 160GB HDD • DL SD • GeForce 6…

So what's new with the Finder Steve? Huh? Nothing you say? Not even the end of brushed metal? Oh.

Is Mail finally going to have a columns/widescreen view? They've copied just about every other feature from Outlook now, I hope they crib that too.

Proabably gonna have more changes in the final version

Time machine sounds pretty awesome. Instantly reminds me of VAX/VMS file versioning.

Yeah, colour me underwhelmed. New apps an new operating system maketh not.

The preview of 10.4.8 looked great. Can't wait to see what they do with 10.5!

A look at the worth of OSX Leopard. $25 - New Mail (todo, notes, stationary, rss) $20 - Spaces (very cool) $10 - iCal $30 - Time Machine - If it does what it says, this will be am…

It's been widely rumored that 10.5 will feature major unification of the interface. If that's the case, that's probably some of the "top-secret" stuff that Jobs didn't want to demo…

I have a feeling that Core Animation and the Finder are going to be used together and that will be part of the Secret Features. I'm excited. Time Machine and the new iChat look a…
