Apple Event Octrober 20th... mmm rumor 3D in OS X 10.7 Wonder what that'll look like?
Will you need glasses ?

MORE

Interesting...a Lion behind the Apple. I hope that this update really packs a lot of features.

And of course they will talk about laptops.

Me too John. Remember the last OS upgrade was about improving performance and tightening the code... I hope they have some great new features in 10.7 that blows Win7 away ! The 3D would be nice eye candy, but I wonder how they'd pull that off. That'd be nice but I'd rather have new functional features... the eye candy can get old after a while.

And to think I threw my red and blue lens glasses away !

I wonder if they will do something with the finder?

Whoa, I thought they ran out of Big Cat names

My best guess in features.

1 - iMacs will have the Retina displays

2 - iMac and Apple displays will be touch screen active

3 - 10.7 will be fully touch input native. (screen wise)

4 - 10.7 will have face time this will push out iChat video

5 - 10.7 will have better syncing will all devices

6 - 10.7 will have the normal bug fixes and speed boost

7 - Hardware speed bumps all around

8 - New pro-tower design <-- long over due.

Hey Steve, how about a retina scan log-in, for security !
I'd like to see lots more than your list... to me those are just the "givens".

except I think the touch screen thing is way overblown on a vertical screen, unless you can tilt it flat or ~30 degrees. I think people's arms would get to tired otherwise. Do that for 8 hours and you'd have arms like Popeye !

I agree that the touch screen is over blown.

The PCers, seem to think that the Macs are way way way way way behind.

That's because they still think that Bill Gates and M$ invented the wheel.

I talked with one of our idiot moron IT people yesterday @ CDC... turns out they discovered my MAC at work on the CDC LAN. He asked how long had I had it wired in - and I replied only 9 YEARS !!

he asked why I still used it when I had a PC available and I replied "because it's still fasther than that Windows POS on the other desk!! "

Then he proceeded to tell me "..but Macs were SO expensive ... cost >$2000 !" I really unoloaded on him and told him that old dogma BS was about 10m years old! . . and showed him on the Apple website where he could get a cool MacBook or iMac for about $1000-1100 ! He was stunned !

The Coup de Grace was I ran a search on the PC and Mac at the same time. The Mac finished in 2-3 sec and the PC was still cranking like an old organ grinder... I said THAT"S why I still prefer Mac - even a 9 yr old one ! I don't think he'll convert tomorrow, but I sure blew away his image of Macs ! BTW he has an iPod Touch and loves it !

His knowledge of computers explains why IT at CDC is so FUBAR !

Thats a great one David

I am surprised that he did not question you on how or if you did any work in the last 9 years? After all Mac,s are for little kids to play on, you cannot even possibly do any REAL work on a Mac.
