Apple developers don't use Pivot? Text is cut off left and right on a 1200x1920 screen.

I hate to answer a question with a question...but: Does Apple make a pivoting display?

And the obvious answer: Yes, they sell more pivoting displays than non-pivoting displays.

Is someone seeing something more on this page than me? I am using a the Rockmelt browser on a Mac Mini, and I am seeing only the trashcan thing... The page has some secret trick or something to have more info???

If you have a scroll mouse. Scroll down. And scroll down many times to trigger the animation. It took me quite a while to realize this... =D

"Okay, we COULD just label the ports with regular high color contrast paint. Say, white paint on a black background or black paint on a white background. But that would be TOO EASY and the panel would then really 'pop' against our otherwise monolithic clean design. Which would be distracting." "But during actual use the ports are going to be on the BACK of the device (so you won't see it) and will have random stuff p…

This isn't the world of PS2 ports -- there's no ambiguity about which port does what.

The product descriptions seem just horribly written:

> Something that provides an extremely powerful argument against the status quo.

> The new Mac Pro packs an unprecedented amount of power in an unthinkable amount of space. A big reason we were able to do that is the ingenious unified thermal core

> Not only does it feature a state-of-the-art AMD FirePro workstation-class GPU with up to 6GB of dedicated VRAM — it features two of them.

> The new Mac Pro looks unlike any other computer. Because it is unlike any other computer.

Doesn't seem to work on some browsers. Not on the latest Firefox but works on Chrome and Safari.

It works on Firefox, it just delays for a long time before you can scroll, tricking you into thinking that you're just looking at a boring teaser page picture.

So instead of a Cube we have a Cylinder. I'm sure it will look nice with a couple of large monitors and a Cintiq. The combination will still cost less than even a small company car and will be able to handle most of the tasks people use workstations for!

Up to 3 4K displays at the same time? It seems Retina desktop monitors are on their way. I'm surprised they weren't announced at the same time.

My current mac pro has 6 displays attached, three of which are "high resolution" (2560x1600). I think that the 4k displays require 2x thunderbolt ? Or else why would there be a limitation of 3 ? So all 6 TB ports used, and no ability to add a 4th display. EDIT: well, I could add a 4th with HDMI, but it would be low resolution, and the 5th and 6th displays are impossible. Also, all 6 TB ports used up, so no further ex…

Thunderbolt can be daisy-chained just like USB, so you're not limited to just the 6 provided ports.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I think iCone has precedence.

Yeah, but the iSphere would fit perfectly on top of the iCan.

iTorus. it could fit around an iCan, hold an iSphere or iCone. And think of all the Thunderbolt devices you can plug into a donut shape!

See you WWDC 2014!
