The leak of the new design is a huge competitive advantage for those receiving the information.
The iPad 2 design rendered most accessories for the iPad obsolete and accessory manufacturers are still scrambling to redesign cases, stands, et. al for the new iPad 2.
Imagine being ahead of the curve and having your accessories ready for sale at launch.
I understand Apple's position.

you might get mad or even pissed just by watching that, you might also think what a waste, but look it this way.. an ipad 500 bucks+ the guys salary.. i dunno? 300 maximum for doing this?, then the cameras man and editing, another 300 for each guy, so thats about 1500.. youtube is free and a lot of people have watched the publicity, i think that its actually working for them this way lol

Couple good blogs about the presentation and what we do and do not know about FCP X so far.
FCP X is shown to the world. Flashy things are seen, questions are asked (http://provideocoalition.com/index.php/ssimmons/story/fcp_x_is_shown_to_the_world._flashy_things_are_seen_questions_are_asked/)
New FCP X is really Not So New (http://www.mikejones.tv/journal/2011/4/13/new-fcp-x-is-really-not-so-new.html)

Thanks for the links. Hopefully when Apple updates the website we’ll have some more answers! Sadly that probably won’t happen until closer to the release date!
Really good write up here: http://www.larryjordan.biz/app_bin/wordpress/archives/1452#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed
One of the editors that had a sneak peek a few weeks ago and now can reveal all!

Alternatively, you could just look at real stuff.
Assuming you have 2 functioning eyes, of course. Condolences to those without.
The iPad is real. Really! ;)

So which do you prefer?
That's a bit of a hard call (do I prefer SlingBox or EyeTV?). I like SlingBox because it works without leaving my Mac running. However, the EyeTV supports recording and offers streaming over 3G. What I'd really like is a hardware product that offered both. Kind of like an AppleTV that I could keep at home and that allowed streaming over 3G. Unfortunately, I don't think Apple will ever offer an AppleTV-like product that supports recording and which offers either a cable card or a built-in tuner.
I guess the only reasonable Mac-centric solution would be a Mac mini paired with the EyeTV.

So you're saying Apple has done something non-dastardly for a change? Wow.
Let's hope they even lifted the "No 64-bit Windows in bootcamp" limitation they heinously manufactured in certain non-pro MacBooks, like my Late '08 2.4 Unibody that runs 64bit Mac OS X and Ubuntu without a problem.
(One product cycle later they add "Pro" and a FW port to what is essentially the same machine and MAGICALLY bootcamp will install 64bit drivers for Win7.)
You forgot how we also got screwed on the lesser battery vs. the longer sealed battery and the battery/ram/hdd door/cover that rattles and doesn't seat perfectly, though I agree that my missing FW port as someone who uses FW drives and Target Disk Mode a lot is my biggest gripe. I think we also got hosed a bit on the quality of the LCD panel since it wasn't a "Pro" machine at the time.
We nostalgically and somewhat defiantly refer to these as "Collector's Editions" Aluminum MacBooks, though neither that tag nor the support for 2 more GB of RAM is really helping my resale value, especially since the mid-2009 model saw a nice little price dump, er I mean drop.

wow people are so worried about magnisium being used. First off you dont use the stuff in it pure form. In the pure form it is way to reactive to be used. Make an Alloy out of it an boom you got something really good.
That was a poor choice of words. :eek: :p :p

For someone that created a fluff thread, you're taking yourself too seriously. What did you expect, people to not defend their purchase?
I think TS is in buyer's remorse, and would like some support on having purchased the 11".
My opinion stands: For the equal-but-opposite reason that I would never buy the 13", there's that group of people that would never buy the 11". The latter group is too practical. The former, too cool. It's personal, as is productivity.
Not to forget those who are going to use it as their only Mac and primary computer.

Been hearing of people who use power splitters to power two cards, but don't know much about it.
It's been done before, but users have to be careful due to how much current is drawn from each rail (+12V). Pull too much current from any rail, and you will trip protection circuits at best, and possibly even blow the PSU. If the latter happens, you could damage other parts of the system.
What makes this harder in the MP, is I don't recall any information as to what the current limit is, or trace out which rail is which.
Anyone item in itself will is not going to be worth $1000.00, but you start to include all these items, it adds up pretty quickly.
Aluminum is a lot more expensive metal then steel & plastic.
Aluminum may be more expensive than steel, but there's not enough of it to remotely justify an additional $1k on an SP Mac Pro. Not even adding in the cost difference between the PSU's (btw, you can spec out a larger PSU in the Dell's, and it's mandatory with some options IIRC).
In terms of reliability, we're talking about workstations, which are designed to be more reliable than desktops (tend to see things like better cooling, layout, ... vs. desktop counterparts).

Take this advise. Don't retain anything from High School. Nothing you will learn there makes any difference at all in the real world. Nothing.
Sadly, this recommendation has a lot of merit. I don't know about the UK, but here in the states, the pre-college school system is systemically boring. Hardly a day goes by that my kids are not skilled-drilled and tested so schools can prove they are "teaching" the kids.

Let's back up for a moment. Why are screens in landscape mode to begin with? Because the CRTs, which were meant for video were. [see: RF modulator (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RF_modulator)] Mainstream computer screens should have mimicked books, newspapers, and documents rather than televisions, but that's not how it played out. So, unconsciously we adjusted to text in landscape. Kind of stupid, really.
Then came the laptop. Well, a landscape display continued to seem logical 'cause the keyboard was wide. Awesome!
And now we have tablets. Finally, a device in the proper book/newspaper/document orientation. But look! You can rotate it to view multi-media! Perfect! My twenty year wait is over! Wait, what? It's gonna run iOS instead of Mac OS X? Genius!
Laptops have always been a compromise, and thus the choice has always come down to personal preference. Please stop arguing that one is better than the other, because as some of us have been trying to tell you, you'd be wrong.
Wow, I think this is really interesting but i don't agree with you. I think the wider screen is the best option, I don't know why... You say you read from your iPad while it's in the same orientation of a page... I NEVER do that, I much prefer the wide orientation... So I guess it's comes down to some kind of unconscious preference... And maybe it's the same thing that make me comfortable on a 11" macbook air...

Well provided AT&T actually acts on the information generated by the app, it's a win-win. Customers get to report exact gaps in performance and AT&T has an inexpensive and widespread source of feedback to act on.
yep, a win-win situation, where all of you guys are doing the drive-test for free. I think ATT is pretty happy now. ;)
Waiting for some troubleshooting apps, so you can do even more volunteering work for ATT. Indeed, a win-win. :rolleyes:
Anyways, for ATT, this is a perfect little app to save lots of money for them. Smart idea.

This could work if:
1. :apple: sets subscription pricing model equal to or better than Netflix
It's hard for me to see this happen, especially from Apple.
IMO, Apple charges premium and often doesn't even initially have lots of features or functions ... usually something just very basic. However, they usually have one or two compelling features that they do well ... usually it's something that deals with convenience and ease of use or simplicity - and only available with their product or service offering (ecosystem).

I'd have been sold on the 11" if it didn't have nearly 4" worth of bezel. I currently have a 13" MBA and I really hope the next true redesign addresses the bezel issue. I'd love to have a 13" screen on a MBA that has the footprint of the 11" That's really the only thing that will get me to upgrade my MBA. Sandy Bridge refresh is nice, but not reason enough for me to upgrade.
The bezel is what kept the weight and cost low and the battery life decent, while still allowing a full size keyboard with 2 USB connectors next to it. That's a trade-off I like.
A smaller bezel would have meant a thicker heavier or more fragile display, and more power suction from a bigger backlight, or a goofy-sized shrunken keyboard. No.
