    • jgreene777, on 10/12/2007, -8/+37because he wanted to spell "because" wrong
    • musicbear, on 10/12/2007, -9/+9becuase mac's interest us.
    • heinous, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I know this will probably get digged down, but it's Macs, not Mac's. Apostrophes are for signifying contractions or indicating possession. That's all.
    • speedyrev, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3If you don't care, why did you click the story link? Dude, just browse on by.
    • tmarcV2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2even after someone corrected the first guy for spelling because wrong, another person spells it the exact same way
    • willynilly, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yes, and how many dumb-***** followed up trying to use an apostrophe to make something plural?

      How stupid can people get, really? Do you put an apostrophe in every word that you make plural? "I think Mazda makes decent car's." "Two cheeseburger's, please." "This was the best movie of the 80's".

      The one with years is especially stupid because it wraps two blunders in one: "The 80's". See, the apostrophe comes BEFORE the numerals, to take the place of the missing two digits.

      Then we have people who can't spell "DVDs", "PCs"... this species is finished.
  • YouKnowHim, on 10/12/2007, -16/+14Thanks for the pics, 64bit Mac is what I could use...
    • danielxmorris, on 10/12/2007, -10/+8You should have bought one before the Intel switch then.
    • RedBear, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Aren't the new Intel Xeon chips 64 bit? This is what is rumored to be in the new pro machines...
    • willynilly, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Um, no, that is not the rumor.
  • johnwiseman, on 10/12/2007, -26/+5any mirrors?

      Leopard is not a current product.

    "You've come to the right platforms."
    Sometimes the right platform isn't the best one.
    • jouissance, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16That...didn't make any sense.
    • mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10that makes no sense. :(

      edit: lmao we both said the same thing.
  • Breakdown05, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2that aluminum nano could be real, I mean I can't see the gradient reflection that apple likes to put on all of their ipods
  • Negyxo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4/ http://flickr.com/photos/66488342@N00/206062001/in/set-72157594223273881/

    I like how it looks like he is hiding behind random crap and covertly taking pictures. hah.
    • mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -2/+19yeah I bet the iGuards would've shot him on the spot if they saw him.
    • cheeze69, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Umm, it appears that he's looking through a window that's partially obscured by the escalators on the inside, in order to get a non-distorted view of one end of the hall. I doubt it's anything so nefarious as "hiding" to get the shots -- if Apple really didn't want you seeing the stuff, they'd put paper on the windows or something like that.

    • NSResponder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You can get that view standing on the sidewalk outside the hall. The whole first floor is glassed-in.

      -jcr
    • willynilly, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Why are you analyzing the technique used instead of decrying it for what it is: PATHETIC.

      Why don't you go back to your blog and start writing ***** stories about what Steve Jobs had to mysteriously remove from his keynote?
  • jouissance, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3AWESOME scoop, thanks for the pics. God, if they update the Macbook line Monday, I'm going to shoot myself for buying one a month ago.
    • mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Well.. pick the gun now so you can shoot yourself as soon as you hear the news.
    • lnxaddct, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4You can return it within 90 days, you might pay a restocking fee, but you can get a new one.
    • willynilly, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1SCOOP?

      EXTRA, EXTRA: Closed convention center not walled off with opaque bulkheads. Glass remains transparent, allowing views of unremarkable contents.

      Pitiful.
  • 0siris, on 10/12/2007, -56/+4That is lame...
    Luckily digg has a burry as lame option...
    • breezy, on 10/12/2007, -5/+23Luckily i can digg down your comment
    • JGuest, on 10/12/2007, -12/+2luckily digg has a burry your annoying non relating comments option
    • 5thfreedom, on 10/12/2007, -8/+6I've got to agree with 0siris on this one. I'm as excited about WWDC as anyone, but these pictures are just multiple angles of the same banner that we've already seen and a shot of the front steps. Definitely not worthy of the front page.
    • threemagic, on 10/12/2007, -9/+2Ok, so is your spelling but Apple doesn't complain about that...


      ooooo BURN
    • Photar, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Fortunately, Digg has customizable sections and you can turn off the Apple section if you like.
    • 0siris, on 10/12/2007, -6/+5I dont dislike apple... this article is just lame.
      What are you looking at?
      They're just pictures of nothing at different angles
      Im not flaming apples... just these pictures
  • slothing, on 10/12/2007, -10/+2If you can't be bothered to capitalize correctly (sentences and proper names) then WTF should we digg this?
    • ho0ber, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Well, I hate to point this out, but you're the one using a common Internet acronym to mean a phrase other than the generally accepted one.

      And "why" the F should we digg this? Because it is sweet, regardless of the submitter's disregard for grammatical standards.
    • slothing, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0I see--so if I conform to two standards correctly, that means it's OK to disregard the normal grammatical form?

      HA!
    • ho0ber, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2See, if an article was interesting enough, I would digg a description written in finger-paint.

      See, I'm a grammar Nazi (most of the time), but it is impossible to survive on the Internet and on social/collaborative sites without some tolerance for idiocy and insolence. Hence my tolerance of the poster... and you.
    • slothing, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Great--I love your comment! See, I haven't even looked at the subject, nor have I condemned the poster to death ;). Nor does this effect my 'survival.'

      I have plenty of tolerance for errors, etc. in the body of a article. You certainly need that, here. But the minimum standards of publishing apply, particularly to headlines.

      "without some tolerance for idiocy and insolence.":

      Well, thanks for making my point. Enough, I'm out.
  • killagorila13, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Lord I cannot wait until moday.

    I love how everyone (who cares) is getting so excited for it.

    When was the last time anyone was this pumped for a Bill Gates Keynote?

    • mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -7/+6actually there are a ton of people who treat bill gate's keynotes like a rock concert.. almost as obsessed as steve's fans. almost.
    • BlueDawg5678, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11Is it possible to get pumped over a Bill Gates keynote? ;)
    • mphill17, on 10/12/2007, -6/+4I would get pumped if Bill Gates gave a Keynote at WWDC 2006. I mean, the guy did retire. Maybe he is an Apple man now? =)
    • ho0ber, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I haven't had a problem with Gates since the early 90s, but I agree it would be harder to be as enthusiastic about a keynote from him.

      The difference is that gates is a good business man and is good a finding things that will sell (enter comments about origin of said things and their quality here).

      Jobs, on the other hand, had always had an odd role at Apple, and seems to fill the role of visionary and seems to work hard to try to make the products Apple releases "right." If any of you read that article "What Steve Jobs is like in a meeting" article a while ago, then you'll probably agree that from the point of view of Steve Jobs, there is a "wrong" and a "right" for a product.

      As much as I hate to say it, we owe both of these guys (as well as a ton of people not nearly as high profile) a lot for pushing the technology forward through competition.
    • Topher06, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3People get jazzed up about Apple announcments because of the rampant rumor mills generating buzz about Apple products. Honestly, what tends to happen is people get psyched up about an Jobs keynote, he super hypes something like an iPhoto update, and then people afterwards are like, wow, still no home theater Mac or true video iPod, what a let down. Steve jobs will spend like 30 minutes going on about the new wireless Mighty Mouse, a product that most people have ignored or forgotten about.

      The fact is, people want SO much more out of Apple then what Apple gives us. People go to these keynotes hoping for the next big things, and lately is been incremental iPod upgrades and new Mac's based on Intel (re PC clones).

      While we might hear some deatils about the upcoming OSX version, it won't be out till next year, so I can't get too excited about it yet. I hope that they announce new Mac's and Mac Pros on the new Core2 Duo processors, but even then I know they will start around $3000, so whoop-dee-doo, another overpriced PC.

      Anyways, Mac enthusiasts are truely loyal because I don't know any other fan base that can be let down so frequently and still come back for more.

      Hold the press, Steve Jobs will release a 9 button remote! The 9th button will eject your DVD from the drive! Yawn...
  • jay42, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1When you see the other angles, it doesn't appear that they're covering anything on the banner as I was first thinking. Too bad...
  • haooken, on 10/12/2007, -9/+4http://www.tomasbecklin.com/hello/2/894/1024/iProduct.jpg
    • tylas, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1When does it come out?!?!?!?!??

      I want one Bad!!!!!!! I'm going to tell the whole world about this new iProduct
  • kaboegel, on 10/12/2007, -7/+6I love my Mac but seriously.. pictures of the fair through a distance??!?!?
    have you all gone mad?

    what's next? Jobs' used toilet paper filmed right after the business?
    "Picture of the new Macbook Pro shot from space spotted on the internet?"
    "Headline!!! Stop the press!!!! World news!! The new Macbook might have a bigger enter key!!!!" wow!



    • BufordT, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Those are all stories I would definitely read....seriously!!
  • skoles, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3I spy with my little eye...an Apple iBike!
    • joe950, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0hmm.. a bike with an acceleromiter on to sync up to your nano. nifty!
  • timmayk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1what exactly is the new information in these photos that we couldn't see in the last front-page story? reported as dupe.
  • boynty77, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0this sucks, I just bought a mac book pro and an a 20" iMac and now they are both going to come out with new 64 bit chips, bastards!
    • KidneyPi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Why do you need 64bit in a notebook or low end desktop? Are you crunching numbers for protein folding or nuclear simulation? The average user has no use for 64bit. If you don't need more than 4GB of RAM or the ability to deal with numbers larger than (2^33)-1, you don't need 64bit. It is nothing more than marketing jargon and bragging rights for most people. Maybe when FCP8 comes out requiring 12GB of RAM and the chips are small enough to fit in a notebook, it will be an issue, but for probably 99.3% of users, it is not necessary.
  • jmullman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2So, that great big 64bit image in the picture means one thing to me: either the Power Mac is going to be a Xeon, or we aren't getting new Power Macs yet. So far, nothing informative from either of these 'stories.' Wake me when Monday comes.
    • millixaw, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The whole Core 2 Duo series is 64-bit, and they're out now. So it's likely that Apple's whole Intel-based line-up will be 64-bit (Merom and Conroe) as well as Woodcrest(?) for the Xserves and PowerMacs.

      Currently, the Mac Mini and iMac are technically using laptop chips.
    • davidspiers, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Currently, the iMac and the Mac Mini are considered to be laptops. This is because of the small space, and the inability to pack it with cooling mechanisms.
  • TheZorch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10I'm looking forward to WWDC. In my fully honest opinion it is my belief that Microsoft is a company that has lost its way. They are trying to compete on so many different markets all at once and Windows Vista still isn't ready for prime time yet. As Londo Molari once said, only a fool fights a war on two fronts, and only the king of fools fights a war on multiple fronts. If this statement from B5 is true (and it is) then Microsoft is the Grand Emperor of Fools.

    Apple has been chipping away at the Home PC market for a while now with those really neat new comercials. I especially love the one where the PC Guy tries to show off how fun a family trip is with a pie chart. That one will be a classic. Anyway, Apple has an incredible opportunity here to grab up some major Home PC marketshare real estate. My hope is that don't stop with the current crop of Intel-based Macs and move onto the Desktop models with Intel processors. Also, in order to keep that Home PC marketshare they have a chance to grab up Apple is going to have to embrace "Gaming" or risk loosing it. Its a fact of life that the Home PC Market is driven by the Videogame Industry, and only an absolute fool who doesn't know what the hell he's talking about will say otherwise. If games didn't matter or didn't exist we'd all still be using 486s right now because there would be no need for anything more powerful. There wouldn't have been a need for Direct X either.

    Anyway, don't let the fan boys fool you. The Mac platform isn't perfect, nothing is. Also, Microsoft isn't invulnerable. There is an old addage "the bigger they are the harder they fall" and you cannot say that Microsoft cannot fall because if you did it would be a lie. Just look at all of the big corporations that have fallen in the past that everyone thought were invulnerable (ie; WorldCom, Enron, Atari, Kmart). In the case of Atari and Kmart they survived their falls from greatness but they are nowhere nearly as big and powerful as they once were, and the same could happen to Microsoft. They CAN fall and if that happens and they do survive somehow they will no longer be quite as relevant anymore as they are today.
  • MasterY0DA, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0What I really want to see is what is on the two smaller banners that are being hidden in front of this one. Both can be seen in the first photo of this set but you can see one of them very well in the 7th photo of this set with a black sheet covering it and what appears to be weighted cords keeping the shroud from being blown off.
  • thegenome, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0I'm on holiday when it is on...
    AHHHHHHHH
    theres no internet where i am going...
    AHHHHHHHH
    • DaffyDuck, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Just cancel the holiday. Problem solved.
  • dotuplink, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1The Macbook pro's look thinner.
  • derekknight, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1What's the correct way to pronounce Moscone? I have heard both. Is there a local that can answer this for me?
    • BillyBobMac, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Maw-scone-ee
    • stuartea, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I was just asking myself the same question, having just listened to a podcast, the guy said Moscon-e. I thought, how weird, do Americans normally put an emphasis on the end e of a word? I don't think I could get out of the habit of saying Moss-cone "does not compute" : )

      Still, there's not much difference; here in Cambridge, England. Magdalene,” as in Magdalene College (Oxford or Cambridge), which is prounced pronounced “Maudlin.”

      I'm sure there are many more examples.
  • MikeOSX, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Im holding off on buying a mac until they start throwing Core 2 Duo chips in them.
  • CorneliusAgain, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Is it me, or is the current proper iPod, the flagship of the iPod range, NOT THERE?

    Is it possible you wouldn't put a product there if it was about to be replaced? The "64 bit" hints that it's current.

    Also, 64 bit is something to be excited about - the amount of real 64 bit use of Windows is tiny. If OSX has proper 64 bit processing & support, that catches it up with where Vista will be. Important stuff.
    • NSResponder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The iPod is not a development platform as far as the WWDC attendees are concerned, so including any iPod on that poster is incidental.

      -jcr
  • nixfu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1
    It is just me or does that look like a VIDEO NANO iPOD? It looks like a nano on the banner but its showing a fullscreen image not just a album cover.
  • JoeyDeacon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Looks like Bono to me.
  • jk_baller23, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I wonder what is under the covered up banners hanging in the middle?
  • JM13, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I don't know if this has been pointed out, but in the OS X logo background, it's a leopard skin ...
    • AsciiAnsi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i heard that it's actually a cheetah skin... they're changing it at the last moment... gasp...
  • Dolomite, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Heads are gonna roll... I can't believe this much is leaking out right before the big event!
  • crc515, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Anyone have any idea what the Hammer/drafting tools thing is? Maybe an Autocad type program? That would be awesome!!!
    • AsciiAnsi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That's xcode's icon... apple's home-grown ide... been out for several years now... this is the developer's conference...
  • markp93, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1WWJD -- what would Jobs do?
  • lamestory, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1***** LAME! get a life and stop stalking the moscone center!

    wow, an autocad program, that would be AWESOME!!!!
  • k28921, on 10/12/2007, -2/+01000th Digger!
  • Daniel8802, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I cant wait to get my first mac in a few days!!!!!!!!!! :)
  • phpfreak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The photos don't offer too much information, it looks like all it's showing is current features/functionalities in Tiger (that are probably improved upon in Leopard)... but it's still a great find!
  • elsiemac, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0So it looks like no new enclosure for the Mac Pro?
  • davidod87, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I'm drunk, and this is awesome.
  • speedyrev, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I'm sober, and it's still cool.
