No cure for cancer??? Looks like my AAPL will be taking a big hit today.

Thanks, idiot investors.

1) 3G iPhone with GPS (the ultimate gadget!)

2) Free .Mac! And better than before.

3) An AppleTV actually worth buying.

4) Consumer-priced tower (I miss the $1,200 PowerMacs...)

5) An iMac with a gaming-worthy video card.

Oh, and where's the diesel motor? I need a Pilot with some towing capacity.

I currently have a Pilot and really enjoy it (for a family vehicle). I was hoping the next Pilot design would be a winner so I can confidently upgrade to the new model in a couple of years. Sadly, I find the concept to be quite unsightly. If the production model looks like this, I will be shopping elsewhere. Sorry Honda. If I wanted radically ugly, I'd buy an Element.

Also, would it kill Apple to add more ports, particularly USB ports? It's sad to have that great big tower yet still need a USB hub (or add a 3rd party card that inevitably causes problems).

ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT? ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT??? In a $2,800 machine???

Is Apple ever going to pull its head out about video processing? Sheesh, not even a $2,800 Mac is truly gaming-capable. Embarrassing to say the least.

Not that people buy Mac Pros for gaming, but if Apple uses the 2600 XT for its flagship computer line, there's little chance of getting anything decent in the consumer line. And that's depressing.

"Just purchase Photoshop Elements people, it does a lot more for nearly the same price."

Too bad there's no Universal Binary. No thanks. Besides, I'd rather support some fresh new faces when I can. Adobe has become the Microsoft of graphics design - a lumbering, unresponsive giant who is now treating Mac users as second-class citizens. Bleh.

I've been wanting Pixelmator for a long time, but couldn't justify the admittedly-reasonable $59 for the little use I really have for an image editor. But with a bundle? Count me in!

"errrum is this really $30 better than cyberduck? it's just ftp!" - Jeff

Until Cyberduck can do Amazon S3, yes.

Oh well, we'll always have MacOSRumors.

Bwa ha ha ha!

"in their place, you'd "just set up the cameras around the room and wave your hand like you're playing tennis"

I think Bill Gates mentioned this same "vision" earlier. Which sounds great, but then again so does 3-D holographic videoconferencing ("Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi; you're my only hope"). In other words, it's great to dream about in some far-off future, but I doubt it's anywhere near realistic to think about it now.

"Set up cameras around the room?" Riiight.

Let's actually get voice recognition working to a level of acceptability before we start thinking about three-dimensional optical recognition, OK?

It will be several more generations of gaming consoles (at least) before we see anything like this actually work.
