It Depends on the Meaning of the Word “Seen”
When I first saw the AppleInsider headline Apple seen unloading new MacBook Pros and possibly iMacs at WWDC, I thought, you know…that Apple had been “seen” “unloading” “new MacBook Pros.” It didn’t register for a second that WWDC (the Apple World Wide Developers Conference) was still weeks away and, hence, it would be difficult to “unload” things at it quite yet.
I just read that and the words bypassed my reasoning center and went straight to a the “pundit cortex” of my brain, releasing a jolt of serotonin.
Stupid, happy me.
Anyway, looks like an interesting piece — it’s worth noting how much later than the average product lifespan Apple has gone with both the MacBook Pro and the iMac; according to the story, the iMac gets an update, on average, every 168 days and it’s already been 257. It does seem like iPhone focus is setting back Macs a bit.
Most interesting about the story — speculation that we’ll see how Mac OS X Leopard will incorporate Windows compatibility/dual-boot functionality. Will Leopard run Windows apps in a window? And, if so…is the Mac doomed? (Answer: No. Probably to both questions.)
