I noticed that Other World Computing has posted their free Macworld Exhibition Hall pass (http://eshop.macsales.com/Macworld/) and was wondering who was planning to go to the show this year. I've used OWC's free pass every year for the past three years and have never had any problems. It's a great way to check out all your favorite developers and vendors.
So who else will be there, and who's traveling the farthest?
EDIT: We've put together a plan so that we can all get a chance to meet each other during MacWorld. Every day of the expo, there'll be an informal meet-up of MacRumors members at 3:00pm in the "Horseshoe Lounge" area of the South Hall's street-level lobby. Photos and diagram here (http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=3208175&postcount=64). No RSVP is required, and you're welcome to stop by just one day, or every day.
The Big Meet-Up
We're designating the first day of the Expo, Tuesday, Jan. 9th, as the BIG MEET-UP. It seems like most people are planning to be there that day, so it's the best chance to meet other MacRumors members. If you can only make it to one, this should be it. 3:00 at the horseshoe lounge location (http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=3208175&postcount=64).
Here's the list (so far) of MR members who have said they will be at Macworld:
1. Flowbee
2. vniow
3. devilot (maybe)
4. cuestakid
5. CHROMEDOME
6. screensaver400
7. WildCowboy
8. breal8406

I think some people are missing what makes this such a unique concept. Unlike gyroscope controlled 3D illusions, with this you can sit your iPad on a flat, unmoving surface and still perceive the 3D space by moving your head only. You can't do that with gyroscope based modeling.

That is what I said. Apple not to going to use pure magnesium. Pure magneisum is way to reactive. I said that it be some alloy. Magnesium alloys are good but people here are acting like apple going to use pure magnesuim and no one is stupid enough to use that. If they are they deserverd to be fired. Pure magnesuim is to reactive. An alloy on the other had is good.
Exactly. Apple already has experience with magnesium alloy, that's what the iBook's framework was made from.
Only jewlers make things out of pure metals, everything else is some kind of alloy.

Can you post a link with the standard "remove battery" and do a "P-Ram-Reset" routine.

Phil Schiller is such a bad presenter.
And yes, you are seeing a transfer of power here - whether Steve is sick only he knows I guess.
Got me worried too.
Phil had to go on stage for the Mac Pro....? Bertrand for the Vista bashing? The other guy for the Leopard demo?
Is Steve too ill or tired to do the whole keynote by himself, or does he want to put others forward.... dunno. Worrying, IMHO. :(

I think Leopard is farther away than many speculate. If Apple really wanted to release it right in January, you would think they would want a bigger hoopla to build the hype, which would have to happen almost immediately. Even then, you would think as neared completion we probably would have gotten a rumor or leak concerning the supposed top secret features by now. While I have nothing but gut feeling to go on, I think it'll be *really* previewed at MacWorld with a release, maybe March or April, possibly into May.
And that would make more sense. Let Vista's dust settle, let the bitching commence, maybe even a couple highly publicized virus or spyware incidents, then swoop in with Leopard, showing that even after MS had 5 years of development to rip off OSX, Apple is still ahead of them. That would give time for hype, and give Apple the press coverage. Not only is it likely, it makes sense.[/QUOTE]
i cannot agree with you more.
plus, apple will benefit from all the 'new os' money that ms will surely pour into its launch and also gain:
-knowledge from which vista features are selling most.
-get all existing mac users even more antsy for a new os.
-let the dust settle / not get lost in the hype around vista.
-vista will seem older and leopard newer, when leopard launches later.
-many of vista's features will be shown to already exist in current osX.
its also interesting that the spring is traditionally a quieter sales period for electronics. by launching leopard in the spring, they can continue to do what apple is so good at doing... choreographing launches spread out around the year. thus keeping up the brand hype and strong sales year-round.
so look to macworld for other great news...
and as for leopard...
my money is on leopard launching not LESS than 2 months after vista. ;)

It's funny, but wherever I go, I always see people with iPhones. My train, on plane trips between Chicago and NYC, during meetings, etc. I am amazed the number is only 5% - but I guess it's the circles that I am in.
Indeed it is, Personally, I only know 3 people with iPhones and I know no-one with any Mac based computer at all.
Unless you count an iPad in which case I know one person with an iPad.

Yeah, I think they knew from the first day of launching the iPhone 4 that there was no way they would be able to launch the 5 on time so they purposely held back on the white one to keep interest in the 4 while we have to wait longer.
They planned it this way
I believe you're exactly correct!
However my theory is just a bit different.
I think they blew it so bad with the white phone, that by the time they finally got it "good enough" they shelved it.
Then when it became apparent that there would not be an iPhone 5 in June or July, they dusted off the white phone to foist off on their customers.
Apple always seeking the spotlight and forever the master marketers, see this as a way to buy time. It will give them an opportunity to fix the problems their having with iPhone 5.
The new target date of Nov or Dec is their focus. One that hopefully will not drag on till Q1 of 2012.

Based on murmurings and mooings on the pro sites, I reckon Apple will lose some customers to Avid, if they had originally come from Avid some time in the last 10 years. They're talking about going back to Avid, not to Avid.
I also reckon every kid who has used iMovie in the last few years will start using FCP X in about July. This is the next generation of video editors, and they will far outnumber Avid users. They will be making movies for web distribution. They will be flooding the film schools. They will also have the mad skillz (look at me, sounding like a teenager :D) to turn things over really quickly, something which is appreciated in today's editing environment.
Apple has built FCP X for people who have never used film and probably never will so the metaphor needed to go. Bye-bye bins, hello "smart folders". And a big hello to the do-deca-core, 8TB, 32GB Mac Pro everyone can now justify purchasing.

i seriously effing hope it's more than <snip> virtual desktops. that's pathetic. we need a revolutionary OS revision.Picture this - Steve Jobs is demo'ing Leopard and he pulls out a really old iMac... and says "it also works really fast on one of these"... then he reveals that it's a "virtual desktop" running remotely. You can buy a Mac Mini and have up to 2 old Macs acting as terminals (or buy an "Apple Terminal"). Then he shows the quad machine with the new Apple terminal hub, and says that a school can add this baby to their classroom and instantly have a virtual upgrade for 30 old eMacs (video editing not included - for that you need to buy Macs)
Any chance virtual desktops could refer to that? .. since that's what I want...
ps. Oh... of course, terminals aren't just for your home network, they allow remote connections and an iPad.

all i know, i want one when it comes out.

Yeah about that. While I reserve the right to change my mind, I just dont see myself getting one when they come out. But then again, stranger things have been known to happen, and the thing could just be oozing sex... Lets just say its gonna take a lot to make me fork out an extra $179 (in addition to the $300 the phone might cost) to terminate my current contract :(

I think any iPhone 5-type upgrade would be incremental, like the 2G to 3G. 3G to 3GS was actually a significant upgrade hardware wise, and then the 3GS to 4 was also a significant upgrade as well. I think the iPhone 5 would maybe get an an A5 but I'm not sure of what else. Apple (and the public) seems really happy with the 4's design and I don't think they'll want to deviate from that too soon.
I wouldn't be surprised if they moved the iPhone refreshes to the fall. That way, they have hype and lines going almost all year, and especially into the holidays.

I do try to avoid bottles of bud, only as a last resort if that's all the event has. As for number 1 import, It probably is as most 'import' beers are brewed in the UK under licence anyway (probably by Interbrew).
As for me I do like my Guinness, in fact a couple of nice pints the other night. After that went to old hooky. Not had that for years, quite an enjoyable pint.

As a grain of salt, readers are reminded that Apple routinely patents technology that never makes it into shipping products.
Yeah, but no, but yeah, but no, but yeah.
Though, how great would it be to have a deck overlay for mixing music? I'd be in heaven.

Maybe, when you rank the individual product models. But when you rank the underlying platforms, iOS is no longer leading the pack. Android has taken over the lead and that was to be expected, because Google did the smart thing: Divide and rule. Everybody can build Android gadgets, but only Apple builds iOS devices. And the systems that everybody can use have ALWAYS dominated the market. Just remember Windows vs Mac OS or VHS vs Betamax and Video 2000.
Android is not a consistent platform. A huge chunk of that "market share" is running 1.6 and is not compatible with anything in the Market. What I said is true. What you said sounds like a desperate attempt to redefine winning.
Why does what you said matter. It has been true over a year and App sales on Android are still less then 10% of iOS.
PS. The Android US "market share" slipped 5% in the last quarter and the iPhone went up.
These comparison of a single device against a loose collection of largely incompatible devices is growing tiresome.
According to the IDC results, Apple have a 2.8% market share, that means 1 in 36.
There aren't more iPhones than anything else.
You're making a lot mistakes.
You simply can not read and have no idea what you are talking about.
I made no mistakes. There is not a phone in the world that sold more then the Phone. More people bought an iPhone then any other phone. If you see someone with a phone, it is more likely an iPhone then any other kind of phone. Not more likely then all other kinds of phones.
If someone came up to you and said, I purchased a phone in the last year and Iwill give you 5 million dollars if you can guess what it is, you would say an iPhone. Unless you were a moron.

Personally, there's not much wrong with it, it's just, there's not an iLife '07, and it's '07, so we'd like to see an iLife '07 for a number of reasons, partly because it's apparently time for it. I still find iLife '06 to be functional.
