Excited for the new mini. Also over or under $5000 for mac pro?
Won't most customers be getting the high end one with the E5-2697 and 2 Firepro W9000? I guess that'd be around $10K?

...Pardon my ignorance, I've never owned an Apple product, but you can't use multiple monitors effectively on OS X? You're kidding right?
Short explanation: You can use multiple monitors just fine in extended Desktop mode. However, there are two issues that drive people crazy: 1) When you go enable full screen mode for an app, the app fills one display and all other displays are blanked with a gray linnen texture. That's may be useful if you are watching a movie and don't want other displays to annoy you, but it's really annoying if you just want eg. M…
Spaces was part of 10.5 in 2007. Apple were late to the game, but not that late.

> 2) Mac OS Lion also added a feature named "Spaces" (I think this is called virtual desktops or so on other platforms). The problem is that when you switch between spaces, both screens switch simultaneously. Now let's assume you use your secondary monitor to show an IM client, or to show some live error log, or similar, it's really annoying if that disappears when you switch between spaces on your main display. Can…
You can either have independent spaces (switch screen 1 to a different space while screen 2 remains unchanged) or you can have them linked (when switching screen 1, screen 2 also changes).

#65Hands down there is nothing more exciting about this OS X update than being able to use multiple monitors again. They can keep their fancy power management and their new apps, because nothing will compare to that feeling when I boot into my shiny new surf-speckled desktop, fullscreen a video on my second monitor, and my main screen isn't covered in useless grey cloth. For the first time in I don't know how many years…
Me and my Air are just gonna give you a sad look from our perch on a footbridge across a beautiful ravine full of trees, and lie back in the sun for another few hours.

#67That's why Apple is succeeding. People are moaning about how they cannot view the live stream of an Apple event on their Windows/Linux platform, like we're landing on the moon or something. Amazing.
Yea it's a great idea to exclude most of the world from your marketing.
I think your sarcasm just fell into a chasm. It may not be by design, but the effect is the same...

#69Ok so it's that time of the year again. I am on windows and have chrome, firefox, ie 11, VLC, flash. Is there any way for me to watch this stream? Heck will this work even if I get quicktime? Edit: * So they updated the page to say it will work for quicktime if you are on windows. * But I am on win 8 and they use js to hide that part. So for now I am assuming it's because quicktime on it's download page only says it…
Apple uses HTTP Live Streaming protocol. VLC should be able to play it just fine. You will probably need a custom URL to feed VLC though. I'll paste the URL here once it's available. EDIT: Quick bash script for extracting VLC-playable URLs (when they're available): curl `curl http://www.apple.com/apple-events/september-2013/ | grep "p.events-delivery.apple.com" | sed 's/\ UPDATE: Here are the links: / snowLeopardurl…
VLC and Totem locks up every 30 seconds

OS X Mavericks will have a feature I always wanted in Linux: Independent spaces for each monitor! In Gnome (at least when I left it, but I don't think it has changed) and previously in OS X, switching to a new virtual space will update both monitors. With this update you choose virtual space independently for each monitor, and let one stay at — say — the logs window, while you change the space on the other monitor.
I don't remember the specific setup (or what it's called), but you can have that in Linux. The problem is that then you can't drag windows from one monitor to the other, though that may also be something that can be configured. Because of that I never liked independent desktops in Linux, but I like how they implemented it in Mavericks.
