Fizzeh Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 With Apple promising devs a new build every month...what do you all think is in store for the next few days? Do you think the build will be crappy because it will be rushed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Fogge Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 My prediction is the following... Apple is waiting on the next Developer Seed for the release of iTunes 7.1, which is to conencide with the release of AppleTV. We will get both at the exact same moment, and the reason why AppleTV is being released here at the end of the month is to address the issues with Leopard's new audio stack, which has been having issues since the beginning with playing back the audio from purchased video files. (This has not been addressed in any previous release even though reported with the WWDC build.) No point fixing the bug in legacy code if it will be replaced with something new by the time it ships. Also, this is the longest time there has been between any 10.5 release, currently 38 days since the last seed. No one can claim that it is rushed.

user2 Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I predict a special edition black MacPro with dual quad core and 8800gtx SLI bundled with a matching black 30" cinema display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asap18 Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 hopefully the next release will start getting the wheels rolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erbic Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 (edited) I predict that the prophesied "Special Event" never happens. Oh, and black iMacs. EDIT: Hey, I got the fifth square thing under my name! Go me. EDIT2: I just deleted my custom member title, and now I'm an "InsanelyMac Sage"! Cool.

Adrian Fogge Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I predict a new plugin for Safari that will disable animated GIFs. Rather, hope... It is all I have ever wanted so I would never have to see those super annoying avatars again! Please, Apple, don't disappoint me again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purple Puppy Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 There may soon be a totally new line of black (and white) macs, like a black macbook pro, black imac, black mac pro, and even black mac minis. because 1) there is already a black (and white) macbook 2) black looks sleeker than white 3) UI of front row, etc are black 4) iPhone is black 5) ipods come in black and white 6) Leopard may have a black UI 7) Apple hasn't updated its hardware exterior in a long time... the iMac look dates back to the G5. And, due to people complaining about the Brushed Metal look, it may soon disappear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzeh Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 Hmm...its getting too late for a new build today....that means they owe one to the devs tomorrow. Also of note, Apple's stock dropped 4.72 today...that is 5.32% (but the entire market did drop...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erbic Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 (edited) Thursday, January 18, 2007 - 5:35 PM PST Waaaayyy too specific. I'm just waiting for a build with the new GUI and possibly ZFS to leak. I really don't have $500-ish to give to Apple for a dev license.

Adrian Fogge Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Before a new build can leak, Apple needs to make it available to someone, somewhere. Not just a testing lab and the build team. When it goes on ADC, or when some high-up or well positioned Apple employee gets axed, then you can expect a leak. Kind of hard to hand over something that doesn't exist.

Ampidire Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I still expect the built tomorrow, thursday, but who knows, I'll still be using 10.4.8 when it's released, and 10.4.8 when it's leaked; I just want to see some progress. These are not builds I'd want to run on the machine I use for school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzeh Posted February 28, 2007 Author Share Posted February 28, 2007 According to both ThinkSecret and AppleInsider, new builds of 10.4.9 have been released to developers. The build lists no known issues, similar to the last build earlier this month, and AppleInsider points out that the lone major change in this build has been a bug fix in ImageIO that had affected image import speeds. Previous builds of 10.4.9 already listed over 40 other bug fixes. Both sites indicate that it looks as though this will be the last minor update to Mac OS 10.4 "Tiger" (other than security updates).hool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzeh Posted February 28, 2007 Author Share Posted February 28, 2007 update: its 1:30 AST... Also, it does look like Apple is seeding today...but they may be done. Does anyone know if all their seeds go up at once normally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fizzeh Posted February 28, 2007 Author Share Posted February 28, 2007 Well, they can do whatever they want...but they have typical ways that they do things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampidire Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Well, they can do whatever they want...but they have typical ways that they do things. Oh yeah, but those have been pretty much broken recently so it's hard to expect them to jump back on the bandwagon. Just let them do their thing. We'd be happier in the long run if Apple did it right rather than just hack-jobbed it to make a deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
