WWDC 2012: What’s not there is more interesting

, Jun 9th 2012 Discuss [13]

Rumors ahead of Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference 2012 (WWDC 2012) are flying thick and fast, with speculation, leaks and rumors all mounting as to what Tim Cook & Co. will reveal in the opening keynote. Apple puts on a good show, that’s for certain, but it’s sometimes more interesting to look at what doesn’t make it to the stage than what products and services get their moment under the spotlight. Could this be the inflexion point for some old favorites, and how do the pre-show whispers fit in?

Mountain Lion ditches older Macs

, Feb 17th 2012 Discuss [3]

Apple Mountain Lion will force many Mac models into legacy status, with no support for the upcoming OS X refresh for numerous pre-2007 MacBooks, MacBook Pros and desktops. The minimum hardware requirements of Mountain Lion - which we previewed comprehensively yesterday - apparently count out multiple models using integrated Intel GPUs, so TUAW's developer source says. That means, if you have a pre-unibody MacBook or the original MacBook Air, there's no Mountain Lion for you. Read The Full Story

Apple reportedly questions future of the Mac Pro

, Oct 31st 2011 Discuss [18]

Apple is reportedly questioning the future of its line of Mac Pro full-sized desktop computers.

An ARM MacBook could revolutionize the industry

, May 6th 2011 Discuss [14]

It’s a strange week to be talking about Apple dumping Intel. Only a few days ago, the company was proudly unveiling its new iMac line-up, relying on Core i5 and Core i7 processors – along with AMD GPUs – to make them the fastest all-in-ones Apple has offered to-date. Yet at the same time as Intel’s latest quad-core chips are finding their way into what Apple’s Phil Schiller describes as “the world’s best desktop,” there’s also talk that the company’s close relationship with Intel is about to get served with divorce papers. ARM is coming, and the computing industry will never be the same again.
