Apple NAB Special Event This Weekend

If the displays get any higher in res, I will need a magnifying glass to see my print materials!

I doubt we'll see a display update with the recent price drops. An updated 17" screen would be kinda cool, though. I wonder when Final Cut Studio will be released now that Leopard has been pushed back.

Probably a blow away Demo followed by, "But it needs Leopard so we will ship in Oct." :(

Pretty slick invitation,

New Displays? Would be nice as it has been ages since they were altered.

I want a MacPro Mini... as in "headless mac", mini tower, etc. for

Leopard?

were going to see final cut pro update and thats it, nothing else. not even cases for the shuffle.

Yawn. Give it up dude. Not gonna happen.

Then that is Mac OS X's biggest drawback - lack of hardware choice. And that is a HUGE drawback. :mad:

Most people probably don't care but I have been tracking some of my "predictions" from earlier this year.

Long and a lot of macrumors links . . . . .

Next Generation Intel Platform (Santa Rosa) Tracking For May

Timing

I seem to have my ear to above average ground and many of my "predictions" have been pretty close.

So here we go . . . . .

There. Anything "sooner" is a win. Anything missing entirely or more than 2 months later is a loss.
I am shooting for a 70% record. Buy Apple stock.

A better question is since there IS a press event with Steve Jobs present,
what might he announce as "one more thing"?

Primary:
EMI content on iTunes

Less Likely:

Apple BUYS EMI (they already own the Apple trademark free and clear)
