I have a family pack too, but really, it's not enough to even cover my family...

That's pretty much been the prevailing rumor for a while now, it'll be interesting to see how they limit user's access to music and other "protected" content, if at all.

For those waiting for Thunderbolt...

Rumor: Apple to release new iMacs on Tuesday, May 3 http://j.mp/iUEBdU

New iMacs with thunderbolt

[The Monkey]

want.

[morphsci]

We do not need a new 27" iMac. We do not need a new 27" iMac. ...

[The Monkey]

I'm chanting the same thing.

2007iMac 24" is all we need at home.

2007iMac 24" is all we need at home.

2007iMac 24" is all we need at home.

2007iMac 24" is all we need at home.

2007iMac 24" is all we need at home.

2007iMac 24" is all we need at home.

Yeah, that'll work ...

Man fuck this thread. Every time I catch up with it I find myself making further plans to spend money I don't have.

[shellylh]

That 27" is sweet!

Man fuck this thread. Every time I catch up with it I find myself making further plans to spend money I don't have.

Do what I have been doing for years:

"I'll wait one more generation"

Fuck. I'm half tempted to cancel my MBP order and get a new iMac - too bad I need/want the portability of MBP.

New iMacs with thunderbolt

Wow, this went fast. I guess they'll be available here in a few days/weeks

iMac + iPad.

I hate your face. Another new reason to visit the cursed Apple store. Now I will need to buy three external HDs and three 16g thumbdrives..........plus two cases of newly released Cardinale, I hate this thread.

[The Monkey]

you don't need three external HDs, you need a RAID box filled with 2 TB hard drives.

This is my next project, I think.

[Sherwood]

New iMacs are very nice. Two (count 'em two) thunderbolt ports, which seems downright silly, and all sorts of quad cores. Plus, 27" screens are a thing to behold.

I'm a little disappointed that they didn't do something along the lines of a large "retina display", however.

[grawk]

I think there's some pretty serious misunderstanding about what a retina display is, and how big a cost it'd be to double the 27" imac's resolution in both directions would be...

[morphsci]

But they have unicorn dust and we want everything yesterday!

[grawk]

it's easier to find 3.6" diagonal worth of pixie dust than 27" It's hard to find pixies that big in order to get a flawless 27" long piece of pixie dust.

[The Monkey]

I think the iPhone retina display is pretty awesome.

[Aura]

I think the iPhone retina display is pretty awesome.

'Aye. It was the main reason I wanted to switch to the 4 over my 3GS. Successfully resisted that one.

How about just moar resolution, without necessarily going all the way to "retina-ish" display.

[grawk]

The imac won't be where they introduce a revolutionary display. It'll either be in the macbook pro or in the cinema display. The imac is a consumer device, and as such, will be targetting 1080p resolutions, and whatever video standard is introduced later. As it is, most people wouldn't make use of the resolution already available on the 27" imac. It's a darn nice display, especially given the pricepoint of the imac.

I want a thunderbolt equipped macbook air 11" with a 21" imac at some point, tho...
