Apple Shows Off Their New Technology Including "Tiger" OS!

[Kschreck]

"Apple has just announced a 30-inch Studio Display capable of displaying a resolution of 2560x1600. The display requires a new Nvidia card with 2 parallel DVI connections. The display is going to retail for $3299 in August, and the Nvidia card for around $599." Jobs also announced new 20- and 23-inch displays, for $1299 and $1999 in July. All three feature a new aluminum enclosure, and DVI. Also from WWDC...
Jobs also previewed Tiger, with Spotlight (fast iTunes-like searching in all apps, and systemwide), Dashboard (Konfabulator-like widgets combined with Exposé for fast showing/hiding), Automator (visual AppleScript, combining prewritten actions into scripts), H.264 code for QuickTime (high definition scalable video from MPEG), iChat AV conferencing (up to 10 for audio, four for video), RSS reading in Safari, Core Image and Core Video (realtime filters at the core OS level), and system-wide Sync Services. All of this is extensible (except for iChat conferencing), with SDKs available for developers. There's a lot here, and a more detailed description is forthcoming. Tiger will be available in the first half of 2005." -Quote

Sounds pretty cool. I used to be a mac guy, but when they first switched to the new designs (first imacs and mac osx) it was way too unstable, so after a year or so waitout, I got a PC, and now gaming is great. Although, I have been looking into apple again, now that they are starting to do things right again.

And I sooooo want that 30 inch display!

I don't think anyone has ever sounded so elitist with such a short sentence before

huh? no, not my intent at all. I was just saying that macs have always been the choice for graphic designers, sound engineers, and video production: creative professionals...that's the job title

I like apple now, just because the iPod is so perfect (I bought one last night).

But I'm not about to go out and buy a G5. I don't care for Macs.

They used to be the case, Years ago. A pro wouldn't touch a mac now.

that's not true...sure they have more pc's then they ever had but every studio I visit/work at has mostly macs for graphic design. Pc's are used for web design and other creative endeavors but macs still rule the print world.
