looks like this latest flare-up in the eternal War of the Poses is done for now.
Let's bank the coals, bag the popcorn and wait for the next eruption.

Last one out, please kill the lights.

I think Steve knows that his OS is hackable and can be ran on PC hardware, so maybe he thinks it's time to offer the OS with out the hardware. Apple still makes devices and such but why not become an OS company aswell.

Doubt that'll ever happen because they once did and it almost killed the company. The first thing Steve Jobs did the when he returned was to kill the Mac clones. So i don't really see that happening any time soon.

So, we have seen a minor update to OSX and a slightly better version of the low end mini series both which had been waiting in the wings long before the announcement that its over for Macs. Straws for the grasping of?

tell me, what is the colour of the sky in your world?

please provide an official link from Apple announcing the discontinuation of the Mac line. And check out the Mini, that is more than just a "slightly better" refresh........

Note the title of this thread? No company announces the end of a product so they may carry on selling the last of the stock. Read through the thread and look at the links

I was hoping they'd release a quad-core version of the Mac-Mini.

With only a year left, it must be time to start asking the hard questions.

I guess Logic, Final Cut Pro and other content creation apps have PC equivalents but would you care to speculate on what developers will use to build iOS apps?

Do you think that Steve is gonna hand over app development to MS / Windows tools? Or will app store devs be forced to use some flavour of *nix? Perhaps he has some super-secret cloud based development environment ready to roll out, that we'll hack at from our iPad browsers?

... 'cause this is really the major flaw in the whole line of thinking ... isn't it?

Peace,
Andy.

Devs will use the kit they already have, if it breaks the mac mini or MBP will probably the only things that will be left. The current desktop lineup will be frozen from further development but on sale. Steve has made many odd decisions in the past, hes still making them. Despite your "loaded" question, I answered.

R.I.P., Macintosh?
