And tonight, I get to...

wear my monkey suit and go to the opera house for the gala opening of the new building. but before that I need to go into work and spy on those pesky actors.

Apparently, out of boredom, I have deleted this post.

GEEKS OF THE WORLD UNITE!

this is - oh - so - silly.

a "multitasked operating system for the Intellivision console."

Lovely day

I need a nap.

I did a mildly stoopid thing (which did not involve poor spelling) on sunday that I immediately appologiezed for. But the more I think about it, the worse I feel.

What I really want to do right now is jog a couple of miles, but my klutzy/creaky body has not allowed such aerobic frivolities for some years.

oh well. maybe I'll go eat some fish.

how'd I do.

#1 yeah right, sure thing steve.. you made a mistake....

#2 I was thrown a softball on that one, so I won't take credit for stating the obvious

#3 Only time will tell.... but I wasn't *wrong* ;)

#4 I was wrong. I'm sorry.

#5 I was wrong. I'm sorry.

#6 Can't fault a boy for dreaming, can you?

Please forgive this Geek Trespass

Rumors are flying, predictions are a dime a dozen... but since this is MY soapbox, here's what I'd bet a latte for:

#1 The 'leak' the other day on the Apple website was Apple's way of testing to see how much the market is paying attention to and invested in their product.

#2 We will see a Powermac similar to the specs posted.

#3 We will see a 'new' 15" Powerbook utilizing the aluminum design of the 12 and 17 inch models. though I suppose that they might just wait a few more weeks to show that to us at a different event. I also don't expect these to have the PPC 970 in them. No company has ever put a 1st generation desktop processor in a laptop, (heat issues/Power draw)

#4 10.3 (aka Panther) will be called something else. It will be shown extensively at the conference, and seeded to developers. It will not ship until the fall. The new boxes will run on an iteration of 10.2.6 that is 64 bit enabled.

#5 A Demonstration of iTunes for windows.

#6 This is where I go out on a limb.... I think we'll see the introduction of a divergent product line. Over the next 6 months we can expect another 'Digital Hub' type device... but we're not going to see it at mondays developers conference. I think what we WILL see is a box positioned directly at the Multi-Media market. Sort of a cross between the top end desktop and the Xserve. This machine will have large internal serial ATA busses, Fiber-Channel and optical digital audio I/O. this is a logical step to take based on the increasing market share of Final Cut Pro, and also Apple's positioning of Logic Audio to take on Pro-Tools. One of the main reasons I believe this is that none of the current hardware lines are 'perfectly' suited for such applications, and Apple would be wise to tailor a box suited to those needs.
