220 pixels per inch. That's 5,184,000 pixels. Schiller says it's the world's highest-resolution notebook display. Schiller talking up how the Retina Display is useful for that since you can see more pixels in your photos. Also getting an update, Final Cut Pro.

That's an upgrade from Lion and Snow Leopard.

for Eyes Free, Apple's working with car manufactures to let you use Siri from the steering wheel. Does not light up the screen, just uses spoken alerts. That includes Toyota, GM, Mercedes, BMW, Honda, Audi, etc. All say they'll integrate Siri in the next 12 months.

New maps in iOS6
New traffic service shows you where accidents are, also anonymous, crowd-sourced data to keep that fresh and up to date.

They're permeating into more areas of technology with these ideas. I do welcome the widespread use of the retina display in all their products, though. The only way to see the high quality of images I reckon.

Apple’s next-generation MacBook Pro is about as thin as a MacBook Air, as fast as high-end desktop computers, and features the highest-resolution notebook screen ever made. And, according to industry analysts, the new notebook pushes Apple at least a year ahead of the best competing ultrabooks and high-end PC notebooks.

“It will likely take rivals a year or two to catch up,” Forrester analyst Frank Gillet told Wired. “Anybody can go buy the processors from Intel, but even the track pads from these companies can’t match Apple. Apple has more discipline and control over every aspect of these machines, so it’s tough for the other guys, the Windows guys, to compete.”

The long long awaited Aperture upgrade was a real fizzer though

But I was waiting for a MacAir upgrade that took 8GB RAM

Aside from some tweaks on the user interface and a (much welcome) improvement on white balance adjustments, Aperture 3.3 doesn't really add anything new!

I wonder if an Aperture 4 is in the works? With so little development time going into 3.x these days, either they are working on something new or they are giving up on professional photo apps completely.

The Aperture team is looking for managers, user interface engineers, and software coders with experience with iOS.

Quote:

One advertised listing titled "Aperture- Software Engineering Manager" was posted on Thursday and calls for an experienced individual with leadership skills who can "help shape a new generation of tools for advanced photo management and manipulation." What is interesting about the position is that it requires "recent hands-on development experience with MacOS or iOS" and experience with various coding languages used in Apple's mobile platform.

Sounds like there is going to be a lot more iOS integration and possibly an iOS version of Aperture.

Let's see...

No ethernet, no firewire (sorry, audio and video professionals), 'cept via adapter dongles (whoops, some much for the clean design!) No optical, either. Again, that's another external drive you have to lug around with you!

High-res screen...that doesn't actually run at high-res, yet the GPU still renders at the native res. Couple with a fat 2.7Ghz i7 (3.7 with TB,) that's gonna lower the sperm counts of a lot of Macheads. Ok, so that's not necessarily a bad thing.

RAM soldered onto mobo, too.

Starting price: $2k.

I think Apple, once again, have excelled at producing an excellent coffee-shop machine, perfect for uploading your Instagram "art" and working on your screenplay at Starbucks. Oh, but you still the cachet of the "pro" moniker, even though there's bugger-all professional appeal in the Macbook Pros.

HA! Apple's "leading the pack" on EVERYTHING, yet it's only got 802.11n wifi (Asus has 802.11ac lappies out already) - and before anyone says "Yeah, but there's no other 802.11ac products out yet!", I've got one word for 'em: Thunderbolt. There were no Thunderbolt devices when Apple released it, didn't stop them harping on about it. Been, what, a year, and so far all we have is about a dozen external storage solutions and a few other trinkets, all due to Apple's avaricious locking-down of the tech, in a vain attempt to hold a monopoly (worked well with Firewire, eh?)

They've only just, grudgingly, accepted USB 3.0, something PCs have had for a while, and is rapidly becoming more popular than TB ever will hope to be. Once again, while Apple may lead the world in thinness and, um, trackpads, it's up to the great unwashed masses of the computing world to actually create a useful computing environment.

Again, Thunderbolt's one saving grace will probably be...PCs now that the monopoly is finally being broken thanks to MSI and Asus and their Thunderbolt-enabled mobos. Now the tech can actually get into the hands of people who will use it, are interested in it as something useful rather than some abstract bullet point in a keynote they can harp on about down at the café.

This balanced view brought to you by Lithos, your premiere source of reality. Any offensiveness in the preceding article is entirely your own problem. And fault.

Wake up, it's 2012 and if you want an old computer keep what you got or just go dumpster diving. Windows 8 doesn't even support DVD drives.

lithos · 06-12-2012, 05:15 AM

I am keeping what I've got. And, no, sorry, before anyone asks - me not blindly worshiping this latest fashion accoutrement from Apple does not preclude me from commenting in this thread.

Whoa, did Windows 8 get released yet?

Also, Windows 8 - again, the iGrocers keep forgetting this - is software. I guarantee you someone'll stick an optical drive in there, make it work. Software is infinitely malleable.

The Macbook Pro is hardware. It's case, as was the last will and testament of St. Steve of Cupertino, Patron Saint of Veblen Goods, Hissy Fits and Marketing, is unyielding to such endeavours as mounting an optical drive.

Windows 8 doesn't (?) support DVD drives??? In what media format will Windows 8 be distributed, especially the retail versions? Windows 8 DOES support DVD drives - if yours is not working then do a google search and find an appropriate solution, such as this one DVD drive is not being detected in windows 8 how to install it - Microsoft Answers
DVD drive support is present in Windows 8.

Windows 8 CP/RP (consumer/release preview) has been available - it has NOT been released yet. It is expected to be released in the summer of 2012 (maybe July?)

So you proved me correct, thanks.
