Apple Media Event ~ OSX Lion?

[[Chris]]

Lions do usually tend to be in a lion shape?


Apples do tend to be apples..



Or symbolising that we're leaving OSX and moving to iOSX Lion! It's more awesome because it has an I in front.

Excuse me kind sir. There is no need to mock my misspelling.

But yeah, I hope its good.

When ever a new windows OS came out it looked different. ( maybe not vista and 7 ).
But when ever a new OSx came out itlooks exactly the same..

OSX 10.4:


OSX 10.5:


looks exactly the same my ass :/

Touchscreens. Just sayin'.

it's highly likely this will happen, as there's patents on a touchscreen imac.

Apple being late to a 'new' technology. Still, it will be magical and revolutionary touch screen technology!!

Will be interesting to see what they come up with, although the patent for their iMac was only made a few months a go - will they release it this time, or next year?

it's less so that they're late to a technology, but that the tech they release is sufficiently of a high quality i.e. the iPhone's touchscreen was the best on the market for 3 generations.

Here's my blog post on the patent.

I think a multitouch imac would be swell. However if there's one thing I've learned from Apple releases it's that when you're expecting a cat they give you a lion and the reverse holds true as well. I've said a touch Mac would be cool but I am not going to count down the days until it might possibly maybe might sortof come out

You can't be late to something new?

Also Apple may never release a touchscreen iMac, they have loads of patents which they don't use.

Compared to the wheel, touch screen is relatively new.

But touchscreen desktops at the moment are irresponsive, awkward and kind-of annoying. Not to mention they're not capacitative, they're resistive, which is still a weak technology.

Not that Apple will do it it better, but its like saying you can be late to the television market - no you can't; there's always something to improve.

Just because they had ****** touchscreens in the 1990s doesn't mean they were good.

So basically Apple are going to attempt to do something about Windows 7 then get it thrown back in their face again? This should be fun.
