Apple store is back open, but go to their MACBOOK PRO area
and I could swear they are selling their older models.
I think people who don't know better are going to get confused.
Why is the store not updated?

Must be a cached link. Both my machines still show the store down.

"Power Nap"?!? Silly name, but pretty cool. Keeps your Mac updated (mail, etc.) while it's asleep.

Appears to be Mac adopting S4. Good for everyone, it's definitely the right idea

 

[Craig S]

Is that the Stig???

 

[mattCR]

New Laptops don't come with Mountain Lion.. it'll ship end July.. but only $19.99 upgrade.. free if you buy one of the new Macs today, or until ship

 

[Craig S]

Mountain Lion ships next month. $20 upgrade for all of your Macs! Sweet!

 

[Craig S]

And here's Scott Forstall with iOS 6.

 

[mattCR]

Really like the concept of new laptop; but may hold off on recommending until it ships with Mountain Lion.. prefer to have them do the install/get all the new features then buy knowing I'll be doing an OS upgrade in a month

Siri announcing sports to a room of people who find the concept of sports/physical activity scary is pretty funny "crickets" everything else huge applause "time of next San Francisco 49ers game" (chirp chirp) these people are saying to themselves "who?"

 

[Sam Posten]

SIRI ON iPAD!

 

[Craig S]

Good stuff for Siri.

Ho hum, I could not care less about Facebook integration.

Ugh 90 minutes in with no mention of a new Pro (hell at this point I'd take a compelling iMac upgrade). Unless they pull a classic "one more thing" it looks like I'm going to have to build a new Windows box.

 

[Nelson Au]

No Mac Pro yet?

 

[Craig S]

They're done with hardware announcements for the day. Doesn't mean there won't be new Mac Pros and iMacs introduced in the next few weeks. There's no way they were going to do ALL the hardware upgrades in one day. Today was for the laptops.

 

[mattCR]

Well, the good news is that I also agree, I don't think a Pro today.. which is good because it prevents the lousy specs that we were seeing rumored coming to fruition

 

[Craig S]

And here comes the long-rumored new Maps application.

Turn by turn directions - a much-needed catch-up to Android.

 

[Sam Posten]

TomTom and Garmin jut got Sherlocked!

 

[Sam Posten]

I'm hoping for silent pro update when the store comes back up.

Are all these navigation features FREE? I was just about to buy a new Garmin...but now...

Free when iOS 6 comes out.

3D flyovers. Google and Apple are now competing head-on in mapping technology.
