00:24:21 ◼ ► Or completely opaque to everything else. I O. S. It almost makes sense. On the mac. [TS]
00:24:34 ◼ ► It's badly designed conceptually and I still don't see this really taking off or going anywhere in the future. [TS]
00:24:42 ◼ ► Yeah they haven't really made another run at that I think they're still in the deep sync stage Well there are two [TS]
00:24:50 ◼ ► Which is a tele separation the second is let's think about how we can deal with the whole silo thing [TS]
00:24:58 ◼ ► Eventually they'll come back and say we've thought about this and here is our solution to that. [TS]
00:25:02 ◼ ► And it will be a kind of a big picture solution not just like some kind of weird Band-Aid [TS]
00:25:06 ◼ ► or hack that enhances the silo systems of those Like this little straw being drawn between silos where you can send [TS]
00:25:14 ◼ ► So I hope they're considering that but that wasn't what I was getting I would to do it and I was mostly just saying. [TS]
00:25:19 ◼ ► Mostly going for reliability and and speed and stuff. Maybe next year's list was like well thing. [TS]
00:25:25 ◼ ► I would hold my breath. Yeah. If there is a list. That's almost a resurrect I life and I work. [TS]
00:25:32 ◼ ► And they did that but they kind of did a Pet Sematary style. Feel when you read that book or saw the movie but anyway. [TS]
00:25:40 ◼ ► I live in our car back. But they're not really the applications we thought they would be like. [TS]
00:25:51 ◼ ► And it's not kind of like wow this makes the old versions like crap it's more like. [TS]
00:25:56 ◼ ► Boy I hope I can still get my work done with these new versions because they're moved a lot of features [TS]
00:26:09 ◼ ► Although not the not the names but the individual apps. OK they're free. When a. Yeah I don't I. [TS]
00:26:17 ◼ ► I actually use the I work out like I don't use Microsoft Office I don't even have it installed I use the I work apps [TS]
00:26:31 ◼ ► but I have not found anything in the new versions that I think is better than the old versions. [TS]
00:26:38 ◼ ► I like and I I want to light these so much and I just can't. I'm having a really hard time. [TS]
00:26:46 ◼ ► Having any faith in Apple to do right by their application software anymore. You know their O.-S. [TS]
00:26:51 ◼ ► Is doing great on both O.S.'s are doing great their hardware is doing great as I said in the past their application [TS]
00:27:02 ◼ ► At the the apps by Apple page on the mac app store to see all the let me get a list of all their all their major [TS]
00:27:08 ◼ ► application software and. It's on a very long list. It's basically I life I work. Final Cut. Logic. [TS]
00:27:13 ◼ ► Aperture and a couple of like little administrative things there. And I really question. [TS]
00:27:31 ◼ ► What's going on there like why is it that they don't have enough time to do to do this rally [TS]
00:27:38 ◼ ► and they had they want to get this release cycle is that a problem of one of the leaders of one of the groups in the in [TS]
00:27:48 ◼ ► What is causing them to like now I'm scared. Any Apple app I use. I live I work. Pro. [TS]
00:27:57 ◼ ► I'm actually scared to see what Apple does to it next its reach that point. And that's that's really that. [TS]
00:28:12 ◼ ► and different in a way is the not prepared for and. When I hear that is like when a microsoft. [TS]
00:28:20 ◼ ► And the Internet age dawned that their reaction was I guess this means we have to add like internet crap to Microsoft [TS]
00:28:27 ◼ ► Word or something. I think guys is that what we have to do. And like the next thing is like All right well. [TS]
00:28:32 ◼ ► I think it means we have to make like a web version of Office or something I don't know. [TS]
00:28:36 ◼ ► And I think of this I think of Google back there kind of smiling and gloating like we have one version of. [TS]
00:28:42 ◼ ► You know Google Docs or a spreadsheet or whatever it is not a fancy version is not amazing the which have one. [TS]
00:28:47 ◼ ► And we can put all our resources behind that. But now Apple has to make the I was very soon. [TS]
00:28:55 ◼ ► They have to make three versions of their programs and this really seemed to be about synchronizing them. [TS]
00:28:59 ◼ ► Feature wise and file format because it was embarrassing when you have like all the web version can use the. [TS]
00:29:04 ◼ ► You can just view the files or edit them on the made in your mac when you put them in Iowa some features don't work [TS]
00:29:08 ◼ ► and I was that was embarrassing when they had three versions and they were in sync. [TS]
00:29:12 ◼ ► And some of them you could create some things that could be viewed other than vice versa. [TS]
00:29:16 ◼ ► And so this really says more about we have to synchronize the look what they're doing they're synchronizing three [TS]
00:29:19 ◼ ► what's basically three entirely different applications gunnels at how much code the sheriff anything between. [TS]
00:29:25 ◼ ► I was in the MAC maybe some there but like the web version who knows. And that's why they've got and. [TS]
00:29:32 ◼ ► But we must be doing something wrong here because I know native software is greater than the Google has to make one [TS]
00:29:37 ◼ ► version of these and we have to make three and that feels wrong and were spread too thin and we have trouble hiring [TS]
00:29:45 ◼ ► and talk about the yearly deadline like I work the latest version was over nine right and I life it was like eleven. [TS]
00:29:53 ◼ ► I looked over the up and I made that post and it's like it's really. It basically the i Pad came out. [TS]
00:29:59 ◼ ► And then all development on Maclin cation stopped. Because all the teams. Literally could all the teams were like. [TS]
00:30:14 ◼ ► and we know that from talking to people there we know that they use very small teams and stuff like those and. [TS]
00:30:19 ◼ ► It's clear that this is like they were distracted by having to make i i OS versions. [TS]
00:30:27 ◼ ► And now all of a sudden now they're back to their back to the MAC having to make something has been almost four years. [TS]
00:30:36 ◼ ► but it's not like they've been working for four years on the mac version straight they've been working on the mag [TS]
00:30:40 ◼ ► version for maybe a year. And so and on top of all of us of having like cram all this in. [TS]
00:30:46 ◼ ► It's just it's really it's very clear that they're not handling their size well at all it's got to know what I'm [TS]
00:30:55 ◼ ► Methodology is right now but to getting back to one thing about software development I've always believed [TS]
00:31:00 ◼ ► and find a pressure when it's not the case is that. I'm a big proponent of leaving developers on. A product. [TS]
00:31:09 ◼ ► So if you have a team that builds some application. When the application is done it ships. [TS]
00:31:16 ◼ ► Don't take those people off and assign them to a new product and repeat that process. It doesn't mean you can't. [TS]
00:31:25 ◼ ► but in general there must always be a team working on X. Want that's like that's the cost of having a product. [TS]
00:31:33 ◼ ► and you gotta have a team that there that supports that product make the next version. [TS]
00:31:39 ◼ ► and maybe that probably becomes irrelevant then you got to move them or that process to change in a certain way. [TS]
00:31:51 ◼ ► and like wherever the fire is wherever the most important thing is the A players get swept off to there it's exciting [TS]
00:31:56 ◼ ► it's fun like Hey now we're doing I was sort of senior project So Paul the best cocoa guys bring or die us right. [TS]
00:32:01 ◼ ► And hey now we're doing the amazing holographic watch levitating hoverboard everybody pulled them over like you know [TS]
00:32:11 ◼ ► You have to leave a team in place like well that if we do that everything have these teams in place like stuck there [TS]
00:32:15 ◼ ► with those developing resources are basically dead to us they're not dead they're they're making a new version a new [TS]
00:32:20 ◼ ► version to make them better and better and we all see the point where that kind of stop like. [TS]
00:32:24 ◼ ► I thought I got better and better up to about two versions ago. And then it just got worse and worse. [TS]
00:32:30 ◼ ► You know the same deal with many other products that we're talking about where we could tell [TS]
00:32:34 ◼ ► when there was teams actively working on the nice diversion was a big thing for example I.O.'s has teams actively [TS]
00:32:39 ◼ ► working on it and each new version is like wild look at what they've done right. Or the compiler team. [TS]
00:32:44 ◼ ► There's no they didn't take those guys off. The compiler team and say we did this we're done now that every year. [TS]
00:32:56 ◼ ► But every year there is a compiler team it's probably good like you can't take the compiler guys like make them do the [TS]
00:33:03 ◼ ► Because they're just compiler guys and what else are they going to do my work better. But every year. [TS]
00:33:09 ◼ ► They make you know the programming language Objective C. Runtime the compilers. They make that better of your and X. [TS]
00:33:14 ◼ ► Go team on the simming it just does X. Code Year after year and that gets revised. [TS]

00:34:37 ◼ ► and resurrect I life not working what I meant was like they hadn't been updated so long [TS]
00:34:41 ◼ ► and now they've been opted in like I said of us like to be careful what I wish or. They didn't resurrect them all. [TS]
00:34:51 ◼ ► Like I just said resurrect they did resurrect the right in to resurrect them and make them. [TS]
00:34:58 ◼ ► Because I am glad that they like at least that what if there was no new version of my work [TS]

00:36:02 ◼ ► Something that we all recognize as a big move in a television world because Apple has been hinting that they want to [TS]
00:36:09 ◼ ► they're interested in television I want to do something they have to see lots of potential blah blah blah blah blah [TS]
00:36:22 ◼ ► Because they totally didn't do that but that was kind of a stretch anyway I was kind of a. I was. [TS]
00:36:28 ◼ ► But overall I think give us a pretty good rating it was a pretty good year for them. They did they did. [TS]

00:36:50 ◼ ► Now do you want to give any any hints on. If you made twenty four team list. What that might include. I think it's. [TS]
00:36:56 ◼ ► I think it might be harder for me because last year like I was trying to look for a way in to this. [TS]

00:37:41 ◼ ► boring and. I think I would have to start to go into the speculation type stuff of new product categories and T.V. [TS]
00:37:47 ◼ ► Mumbo jumbo so I don't know if this is the right format for next year when the funding is you can copy [TS]

00:38:27 ◼ ► and like they're going to call that's what I was it is going to be like they're going to call that I always say it [TS]
00:38:35 ◼ ► but diversifying the i Phone if they go another year with just two phones I think that's fine you know to do that [TS]

00:40:17 ◼ ► Or you want to make it look rough so that you protect your virginal assets that you've made [TS]
00:40:20 ◼ ► but the final version in case they don't you know they want to go copy it was somebody cheaper some like that very very [TS]

00:42:51 ◼ ► impressive. And I feel like I'm only barely scratches serviceable this program can do and I keep. [TS]

00:43:36 ◼ ► I would like nothing more than to talk about the macro did you did you read it get big. I did was a good. [TS]
00:43:46 ◼ ► I know you're saying that have seriously have joking the review was very good in all his reviews are really good you [TS]
00:43:50 ◼ ► know as a quick aside. It made me think. I feel like he's much better. And perhaps more. [TS]

00:44:26 ◼ ► and I've come to really enjoy their hardware reviews they're not quite to Syracuse Ian level but. [TS]
00:44:33 ◼ ► But they're very very good in the macro view is good it's just about something that I'm not terribly interested in. [TS]
00:44:38 ◼ ► But with that said. I know that you guys and many many of the listeners are anxious to talk about this. [TS]
00:44:51 ◼ ► What did it make you think about a potential macro purchase for yourself. To probably made me. [TS]
00:44:59 ◼ ► Although it puts your workers not getting one for a lot of reasons it at the same time it made me think that. [TS]
00:45:09 ◼ ► As that's what it always comes down to because I would love to have a macro who wouldn't want one. Right. [TS]
00:45:14 ◼ ► It may be a case really really good so I gave it to you for free or for some really cheap price [TS]
00:45:18 ◼ ► or whatever you take it right because it's awesome it's a it's an amazing thing. But since it cost so much. [TS]
00:45:23 ◼ ► I constantly have to be weighing it against my other options for similar or less money [TS]
00:45:28 ◼ ► and learning more about this machine made me. Push me more towards. I got I have to find some alternative.. [TS]
00:45:35 ◼ ► Both in looking at the performance figures both C.P.U. and G.P.U. Have mostly G.P.U. [TS]
00:45:48 ◼ ► And I think it is a compromise machine like the one thing that's really pushing me towards getting is like well you [TS]
00:45:53 ◼ ► have the first power Mackie five and like. Don't you want the first one like the. The first cheese grater. [TS]
00:46:05 ◼ ► And there are lots of weird compromises inside there I mean he talked about the interview [TS]
00:46:09 ◼ ► and you know the ones we've always known of are the server see views being off games [TS]
00:46:15 ◼ ► And the decisions they had to make it makes me think I'm going to spend all this money. [TS]
00:46:19 ◼ ► And I get it I'm except these compromises in performance and stuff it doesn't really matter like [TS]
00:46:33 ◼ ► and it's actually in this case it actually is a compromise or real world consequences. [TS]
00:46:38 ◼ ► But you talk about a bit I think but it's. It's pushing me away. I think. Let's assume that it's a year from now. [TS]

00:47:28 ◼ ► The only reason I'm looking at the thing is because I need a S.U.V. And in fact I'm saying well this. [TS]

00:48:00 ◼ ► I don't know I mean again it's a bit just because it cost so much money it was too grand to get one in a heartbeat. [TS]
00:48:04 ◼ ► Like I wouldn't write and that's the thing I think for your purposes. For your expressed interest in Windows gaming. [TS]
00:48:14 ◼ ► I mean first of all you can look doesn't use a oh great a lot has like the dual card whatever it's called for a T.I.. [TS]
00:48:22 ◼ ► So according to the an Antec review the MacPro is configured to do that for Windows [TS]

00:48:31 ◼ ► Ten really doesn't care much about game use. And that's mostly used for games as far as I know. [TS]
00:48:37 ◼ ► I don't think pro actually really support that very much so I could be wrong I don't know. But the point is. [TS]
00:48:42 ◼ ► I still think that for your purposes. You would be much better served. Buying a new IMAX every two years. [TS]
00:48:52 ◼ ► Well I'm still the other thing that I'm still thinking about is enhancing my ancient MacPro [TS]
00:49:02 ◼ ► Yeah but I don't know that that kind of feels like putting a brand new transmission into a ten year old car. [TS]
00:49:06 ◼ ► It is a bit like that's wait to see or should I get a new car should I continue to sit up this one. [TS]
00:49:12 ◼ ► Let's talk about some of the compromise here one of them that I was surprised about that things like I am a surprise [TS]
00:49:17 ◼ ► about as well as the RAM on the video cards. But that you see it disabled when you're under oath ten. Yeah. I read. [TS]
00:49:26 ◼ ► There were actually some interesting comments on the article. I don't know anything about pro G.P.U. Stuff.. [TS]
00:49:31 ◼ ► But the comments basically indicated. One of us you know quite a lot and he was saying how E.C.C. [TS]
00:49:41 ◼ ► On on workstation video cards actually is a software implementation of it basically it's not it's not like a hardware [TS]
00:49:47 ◼ ► And it basically just uses the ram a little bit like a RAID five array which is like there's like a parity area [TS]
00:49:55 ◼ ► and then a regular area so you lose some of the space in the memory and exchange for getting the benefit [TS]
00:50:04 ◼ ► It apparently is not universally praised because the last of the RAM is is a factor. I think that would should. [TS]
00:50:16 ◼ ► He ran another reason like the mac pros is a comedy he ran it's like well who cares about that well as the amount of [TS]
00:50:23 ◼ ► It becomes a factor it's kind of like you know bit rot maybe it's not that big a deal [TS]
00:50:27 ◼ ► when you have a two megabyte hard disk but once you have a three terabyte hard disk. [TS]
00:50:30 ◼ ► That same percentage of that rot assuming it's at the same and not you know. Worse. It's it's it's an issue. [TS]
00:50:41 ◼ ► when you have twelve gigs of beer I mean like well for the same reason I would like to have E.C.C. [TS]
00:50:47 ◼ ► RAM but if it's a software only thing and as other compromise I can understand why Apple disabled it. [TS]
00:50:53 ◼ ► So that that's low disappointing is I think the most disappointing thing is that the for U.S.B. [TS]
00:51:01 ◼ ► So you have five hundred megabytes a second. For all four of those ports combined. Which is not great for the P.C.I. [TS]
00:51:08 ◼ ► Express let I thought was one of the most interesting parts about this because I had heard a while ago back [TS]
00:51:13 ◼ ► when an ounce of thing somebody told me that they had heard from somebody and somebody and somebody that. [TS]
00:51:22 ◼ ► In there because they have this deem ounce of the back of one of the graphics cards [TS]
00:51:32 ◼ ► And the reason that I was told back then was that they're out of P.C.I. Express lanes. [TS]
00:51:38 ◼ ► And that's why this homely one as the that they're using all the P.C.I. Express lanes. Possible by that C.P.U. [TS]
00:51:43 ◼ ► and Chipset for other purposes. And looking at this diagram of that looks correct there but the who the S.S. [TS]
00:51:53 ◼ ► and it seems like the current system is a using are maybe pushing about a gigabyte a second. [TS]
00:51:58 ◼ ► Maybe two gigs is gives it headroom for faster flash. Going forward right. But. In reason the US be. [TS]
00:52:06 ◼ ► Thing is a problem especially a lot of the notion is before this reviewer like well if you get a macro I know [TS]
00:52:12 ◼ ► Thunderball Harbor is very expensive or members got U.S.B. Three and U.S.B. Three is a great way to get cheap storage. [TS]
00:52:19 ◼ ► You know I can do that you get one fast as the you've saturated all your entire U.S.B. Three of us. [TS]
00:52:27 ◼ ► They're out of lanes where all the going to pull lanes from if they pulled like one lane from the internalizes the [TS]
00:52:34 ◼ ► And what's taking up most of the lanes the honkin video cards each have sixteen lanes I think I don't have the diagrams [TS]
00:52:40 ◼ ► done in front of me so yeah and. And why you. You know it's interesting also how they're sort of multiplexing the P.C.I. [TS]
00:52:48 ◼ ► Express. Where they have like well it's P.C.I. Express three point zero to the C.P.U. [TS]
00:52:53 ◼ ► but It's two point zero zero to the devices and is a multiplexer so that even looks like you don't have enough [TS]
00:52:57 ◼ ► and with the support of both the multiplexing down more than one connection into a fewer number. [TS]
00:53:01 ◼ ► The sphere number of connection is three point zero So that's how you're able to do it. [TS]
00:53:10 ◼ ► Thought the word stuff going on inside that box or that's on there. Well and I think the reason why they're the P.C.I.. [TS]
00:53:16 ◼ ► Express diagram tells you everything needs no. It tells you that this machine is made for Open C.L. [TS]
00:53:22 ◼ ► That's what this is it's made for extremely high bandwidth. Between the C.P.U. and The two G.P. Use. [TS]
00:53:33 ◼ ► The They're pretty generous with honorable band with. And everything else is secondary So they're telling us be three. [TS]
00:53:41 ◼ ► Is a legacy concern. Basically it's like US beef. All of us beep three ports together. [TS]
00:53:50 ◼ ► Yeah that's what I hear about what I mean but the thing is they have to do that for you know if you want to. [TS]
00:53:58 ◼ ► One lane each for that because they have dual interfaces that make sense and I have of the Y. [TS]
00:54:03 ◼ ► Five his wife I as well as getting up to meet in a standard than ideal conditions these days minds overhead ASBOs. [TS]
00:54:10 ◼ ► The assuming like storage is always going to matter and someday maybe we may have an S.S. The they can. [TS]
00:54:14 ◼ ► They can saturate to get the second. And then whatever the home have left. Hang for U.S.B. Ports off. That. [TS]
00:54:21 ◼ ► Well and I think it's. I think it's a safe assumption that most people's U.S.B. Devices. All taken together. [TS]
00:54:28 ◼ ► Don't really push five hundred megabytes a second most time usually are talking about extra no platter hard drive. [TS]
00:54:34 ◼ ► And various various others much lower devices things like. You know keyboards mice card reader stuff like that but the. [TS]
00:54:46 ◼ ► So I wouldn't be that concerned about that you have a U.S.B. Three or a it or like and. [TS]
00:54:52 ◼ ► I would imagine things that it has had to do is be like the quick throw away things a little bus powered S.S.D. [TS]
00:55:03 ◼ ► The thing about the thunderbolt market is even in the pro market I guess they have those Pegasus raid things [TS]
00:55:13 ◼ ► I don't know where they are people buying thunderbolt storage doesn't seem like at the burgeoning market with honorable [TS]
00:55:18 ◼ ► peripherals even in the pro space. Well but until today. The center but was not even available on the macro. [TS]
00:55:26 ◼ ► All of thunder bolts best potential customers all these people with high end computing needs that use Macs were all [TS]
00:55:39 ◼ ► I don't think we can really judge thunderbolts of thunderbolts. You know maturity or widespread nest yet. [TS]
00:55:49 ◼ ► but that's the part is doing the multiplexing where they've got these thunderbolt two things connected to what seems [TS]
00:55:55 ◼ ► like an inadequate number of pipes back to the C.P.U. but Actually did that it would because the C.P.U. [TS]
00:56:01 ◼ ► Express three point zero and then the thunderbolt to his reach on a two point zero buses [TS]
00:56:09 ◼ ► and figured that's all the extra crap they had to add in there like it's not just a stock Intel server motherboard [TS]
00:56:14 ◼ ► cleverly arrange what they had to add these extra multiplexes for the thunderbolt crap and the U.S.B. [TS]
00:56:18 ◼ ► Chip and all that of the stuff. It's a pretty amazing packaging job inside that cylinder. [TS]
00:56:27 ◼ ► So I could Game Cube of the board everything is so neat and tidy and you've got your you know C.B. Your G.B.U. [TS]
00:56:33 ◼ ► Now this stuff all over the place and connected with ribbon cables and circle shaped boards and. [TS]
00:56:38 ◼ ► It's it's a very it is very G four cube like people made that comparison before but now having seen the guts [TS]
00:56:47 ◼ ► Yeah you know I will say that the thing that fascinated me the most about who the hell are you. I just woke up. [TS]
00:56:55 ◼ ► The thing that fascinated me the most of the how the. The an Antec review was the talk about the. [TS]
00:57:01 ◼ ► The multiplexers and and all and all the stuff they had to do to get all these P.C.I. [TS]
00:57:08 ◼ ► and if you've even if you're like me don't really care that much about the MacPro. [TS]
00:57:12 ◼ ► I would encourage you to read at least that part of the review. It is really really really interesting. [TS]
00:57:17 ◼ ► and what they're you know you could tell by this by this layout what they are imposing here is high speed.. [TS]
00:57:23 ◼ ► Modern and future throughput. You know you have thunderbolt being connected directly to the C.P.U. [TS]
00:57:31 ◼ ► and they reveal it that's pretty amazing that you have like this extra nl cable interface. [TS]
00:57:35 ◼ ► Six ports in the back the basically plug directly to the C.P.U. That's pretty awesome. And so you have. [TS]
00:57:40 ◼ ► You have that crazy interface. Plus you have these workstation class G.P. Use being able to run Open C.L. Stuff. [TS]
00:57:48 ◼ ► Over these incredibly fast buses because one of the one of the big challenges with general purpose computing on G.P. [TS]
00:57:55 ◼ ► Use is just getting the data back and forth in a way that doesn't make the whole thing. Take less. Take more time.. [TS]
00:58:03 ◼ ► That's going to be faster than shifting over the graphics card doing something they are shifting it back. [TS]
00:58:20 ◼ ► and primarily for that which is something none of us are going to use for what he thought the three of us none of us [TS]
00:58:26 ◼ ► are really going to use that makes perfect sense in light of the demo they gave me a receipt for the macro with a [TS]
00:58:37 ◼ ► but I was what I believe we sat with you know a lot of not on Earth there are a lot of maintenance meaning there's a [TS]
00:58:42 ◼ ► look and I like so I check your nerves to make sure they're yours. But yes I was there was someone demonstrating. [TS]
00:58:54 ◼ ► and you can download from the apples developer site I think I don't not sure. But anyway. [TS]
00:59:00 ◼ ► and they had to take pains to point out it was all it just looks like you're drawing on a three D. Model. Big deal. [TS]
00:59:05 ◼ ► But they're drawing with like humongous textures using all twelve gigs of Ihram things that are just you know not [TS]
00:59:17 ◼ ► You know we were not just doing like oh this just needs to be good enough quality to display. [TS]
00:59:22 ◼ ► You know and a video game or something this is art work that's going to be rendered and hire as you know. Four K. [TS]
00:59:31 ◼ ► And the assets the GO INTO IT ALONE are just gigantic And so it's amazing that he can do it all right. [TS]
00:59:36 ◼ ► But that's not what most people are doing with evil and I'm dealing with a huge volume of data. [TS]
00:59:40 ◼ ► But that's what the machine is designed to be a small little cylinder thing that amazing kind of like the old S.G.I. [TS]
00:59:44 ◼ ► Like the octane machines of ever read this little tiny thing that can do these amazing things with a huge volume of [TS]
00:59:54 ◼ ► and for you know if you work at Pixar seems like this is a great machine for that purpose compared to what you would [TS]
00:59:59 ◼ ► have had to buy before to do the same thing. Yeah I don't know I mean. After I read it. [TS]
01:00:04 ◼ ► I was a little little sour on the idea of keeping my order and not canceling it. I thought about canceling my order. [TS]
01:00:13 ◼ ► Because it just it looks from from all accounts it looks like this is a machine with power. That I'm paying for that. [TS]
01:00:22 ◼ ► I'm probably not going to use and. I keep thinking. You know what if one of the things I frequently do is convert. [TS]
01:00:32 ◼ ► Videos that were Go. To watch somewhere or. RIP Louris we can watch it on the empathy with other stupid menus and all. [TS]
01:00:38 ◼ ► You know stuff like that and or like I'll have like a giant folder of images that we shot that I want to convert [TS]
01:00:49 ◼ ► You know mashing out of the Course to do that and I think what you what if image magic. What if their Open C.L. [TS]
01:00:56 ◼ ► Support improves and it starts becoming like five or ten times faster on this computer. I would love that. [TS]
01:01:02 ◼ ► What if logic. Starts using Open C.L. For something that would save me tons of time and editing the show. [TS]
01:01:08 ◼ ► What if Lightroom you know improves. It's Open C.L. Support and imports don't take us long Convergence a D.M.D. [TS]
01:01:16 ◼ ► Don't take as long or this stuff that I do fairly frequently. That is highly paralyzed. You know I'm not going to see. [TS]
01:01:24 ◼ ► Savings every day that are going to be noticeable. But I'm going to see you know. Maybe once or twice a week. [TS]
01:01:30 ◼ ► But generally big savings by having lots of parallel C.P.U. Power. But the G.P.U. Side. [TS]
01:01:36 ◼ ► Is still a big question mark and I think mostly still like half done or not done by most big software packages [TS]
01:01:47 ◼ ► You know maybe maybe we'll be looking at buying a macro it's on the G.P.U. Power. In three to five years. [TS]
01:01:53 ◼ ► When tons of stuff takes advantage of that maybe that would be a better idea than buying one now. [TS]
01:01:57 ◼ ► Well you need to buy a one now just replace your current MacPro. Because what you're thinking of this way. [TS]
01:02:01 ◼ ► Like you should think of it is what you're doing is you're getting a smaller quieter version of what you already have [TS]
01:02:08 ◼ ► Like that is another thing that pushing me towards finding a way to buy this thing is it will be better than my current [TS]
01:02:18 ◼ ► and spec was a number was a little bit better in you know the touchy feely ways of being nicer to look at taking up [TS]
01:02:24 ◼ ► less room making less noise using less power producing less heat. Maybe. Yes company producing less heat. [TS]
01:02:31 ◼ ► It's all those advantages are there maybe you don't need to get to the seven hundred. [TS]
01:02:38 ◼ ► Plus you have to buy the expensive things that we can afford it's your job. You should not cancel your order. [TS]
01:02:44 ◼ ► I guess somebody has to say I mean one thing I thought about is like is because I ordered the eight core. [TS]
01:02:54 ◼ ► One thing I thought about was what if I just downgrade to the stock. Six core config. Plus the big. [TS]
01:03:01 ◼ ► Plus a terabyte basically. But once you. Once you add the terabyte. And the RAM that I want thirty two kids are ram. [TS]
01:03:17 ◼ ► but it's like well if I'm going to spend forty five hundred mobile spend six you know like I want this computer to last [TS]
01:03:28 ◼ ► Tech article is that it shows you how much value macros hold over time. Because the ceiling of performance. [TS]
01:03:40 ◼ ► And the rest of the mac lineup is actually hitting a similar wall she talks about which is the thing about how single [TS]
01:03:48 ◼ ► Gains have really hit a wall and are really slowing down dramatically across the industry in desktop [TS]
01:03:54 ◼ ► and mobile they still have a while to go. But in the desktop. We have like maxed out. Single threaded potential. [TS]
01:04:03 ◼ ► And the only ways we can really really sickly make gains are by shrinking the process down [TS]
01:04:11 ◼ ► Instruction efficiency gains here and there but it's the games are coming very slowly [TS]
01:04:20 ◼ ► Let's just throw more course in the die we can make the process small enough that we can make that work. [TS]
01:04:25 ◼ ► So if you're a whole bunch more course in the die. So now we have these. Now we now you can get a quad core laptop. [TS]
01:04:31 ◼ ► That's crazy like. Imagine that imagine telling somebody that ten years ago. That would have sounded nuts. [TS]
01:04:39 ◼ ► But that's normal Now if you can get a four core. Laptop that's that's crazy. And. So on the desktop. [TS]
01:04:55 ◼ ► And so you have these these hundred thirty watt chips. And that's your limit there. [TS]
01:05:00 ◼ ► So you're limited basically just by. Well you've maxed out single threaded performance. [TS]
01:05:05 ◼ ► You've put as many cores on there as you can. While still staying on the power and follow up. [TS]
01:05:09 ◼ ► So now you're going to basically wait for minor improvements to efficiency and instruction. Level stuff. [TS]
01:05:22 ◼ ► So the error of having these giant jumps is gone so the C.P.U. I haven't mine was released in twenty ten. [TS]
01:05:29 ◼ ► And the new one I get for nearly seven thousand dollars. C.P.U. I was only going to be about fifty percent faster. [TS]
01:05:43 ◼ ► and that's like I kind of expected more for a twenty ten C.P.U. Go into a twenty thirteen C.P.U. [TS]
01:05:50 ◼ ► Well I think that what you would feel more as the storage speed I don't know it's be addressing the as whatever that [TS]
01:05:56 ◼ ► and that would probably get you more a day to day experience Apple to its credit as that point that it is trying to [TS]
01:06:05 ◼ ► Heavily optimizing final coverage of the application to keep showing in their own advertising for like a bio macro [TS]
01:06:10 ◼ ► guess I'll cut you know what the four K. Video support. They're trying to use all the G.P.U. [TS]
01:06:18 ◼ ► Not it's that they're trying to use all the harbor that they've built. So if this. [TS]
01:06:22 ◼ ► If you're not talk about my are some places a piece of software that Apple makes this trying to to be tailored for the [TS]
01:06:32 ◼ ► but if in the case of other software it's like well. At least you won't have any you know it's got fast memory. [TS]
01:06:40 ◼ ► Processes will be waiting on a core of your by one of the miles with the boss of course in hybrid writing [TS]
01:06:44 ◼ ► and everything it's still it was still feel to difficulties now here and in a smaller package like make less noise [TS]
01:07:01 ◼ ► It does pretty well like it's up there with the big boys G.P. Use is how the top of the stack of the big boys G.P. Use. [TS]
01:07:07 ◼ ► But it's OK. But for the price of a macro you could buy a like. Seven high end P.C.'s but the same video card and them. [TS]
01:07:21 ◼ ► Well I don't want to I don't want to P.C. and We don't need seven you can just buy one. [TS]
01:07:28 ◼ ► Performance or gaming it's great that it has a crossfire and windows and stuff like that but it. [TS]
01:07:33 ◼ ► What I'm comparing it to upgrading my thing or not the parents and I think it's like this the still. [TS]
01:07:45 ◼ ► I keep looking and I'm at pricing it out it ends up being like we did it before like three grand [TS]
01:07:49 ◼ ► and not really great for my purposes. So I keep just looking it. Can I hold out another year. [TS]
01:07:57 ◼ ► and I want to expect another year the new C.P.U.'s might not even be able to maybe they'll be able to read the G.P. [TS]
01:08:01 ◼ ► Use because then they'll have you know it's like the G.P.U. Rev fine just swapping the new G.P.S. [TS]
01:08:06 ◼ ► Should be that big a deal maybe lower the price a little bit because he'd do use aren't updated [TS]
01:08:09 ◼ ► and you kind of offering the same machines or maybe you can bring the price down. I don't know. [TS]
01:08:13 ◼ ► I don't know what I'm going for I haven't I haven't decided yet but that like half of me look the G.P.U. [TS]
01:08:19 ◼ ► Benchmarks and goes like if your current mac with on there wouldn't show up in the diagram. [TS]
01:08:23 ◼ ► Would be like one pixel where the one pixel wide line. Or did not finish like isn't that why do I care that. [TS]
01:08:29 ◼ ► OK so it's not as fast as the very fast is G.P.U. Combine any computer ever. Right now. But it's in the ballpark right. [TS]
01:08:37 ◼ ► And then never ask me it's like when I just get as many people suggested a high end G.P.U. [TS]
01:08:42 ◼ ► and Jam it into my current MacPro civets of what you should care about it we should all care about ignoring the gaming [TS]
01:08:53 ◼ ► Problem we already discussed how it can drive the big quad twenty seven inch display as it doesn't exist. Because of. [TS]

01:12:47 ◼ ► but the most popular ones for a while are going to be these ones from Dell that it's like the you P. [TS]
01:12:54 ◼ ► Twenty four Q something. They have the worst product names. It's Dell's twenty four inch. Four K. [TS]
01:13:00 ◼ ► Display and it's only twelve hundred bucks. So it's. We talked about it before my going to into it. [TS]
01:13:07 ◼ ► But that apparently he got one of those from Dell for the review and he plugged it into the mac pro [TS]
01:13:16 ◼ ► You know this all the standard that we talked about two to like multiplex two signals into either one cable [TS]
01:13:27 ◼ ► Industry different monitors and then merge it in software so it behaves properly to overcome various limitations [TS]
01:13:32 ◼ ► and stuff like that to be able to get these super higher resolutions on one monitor and. It sounds like Apple. [TS]
01:13:39 ◼ ► Kind of made special support for the sharp one to work they're selling and didn't make any support for this Dell one. [TS]
01:13:51 ◼ ► It's worrying in that this is not going to be a question you can't just buy any for him monitor [TS]
01:13:57 ◼ ► and plug it in expected to work right. So that's a problem right there that all service also rules out. [TS]
01:14:05 ◼ ► Dual twenty four hours or a single twenty four instead of a big twenty seven or thirty. [TS]
01:14:10 ◼ ► You could have written the today if this monitor worked. But it doesn't. So you can't and. [TS]
01:14:18 ◼ ► So you say that even on the sharp one you couldn't put it in the high D.P. IMO Though it. Two X. [TS]
01:14:27 ◼ ► Like one to one Heidi P.-I node so it was like like exact So it was one hundred twenty by by ten eighty. [TS]
01:14:33 ◼ ► So they wouldn't. Or whatever it is so it wouldn't. I thought what he said that it wouldn't even do that one. [TS]
01:14:38 ◼ ► They wouldn't do that mode. No it did that but everything was too big of course and. [TS]
01:14:44 ◼ ► The problem was he couldn't get any of the scaling modes to work the ones where it likes. [TS]
01:14:48 ◼ ► Where it renders it higher than scale to the native pixels the way the macro does. [TS]
01:14:51 ◼ ► He couldn't get any of those working. So yes so basically for Britain to use the current sharp There are two inches. [TS]
01:14:58 ◼ ► Is not what really anybody's looking for. And the Dell which is what a lot of people are looking for doesn't work. [TS]
01:15:04 ◼ ► And it might never work it might work next week who knows we don't know the other could be driver issues to sort that. [TS]
01:15:10 ◼ ► out so I don't think it's hopeless on this front but like what do you think the support these four K. [TS]
01:15:14 ◼ ► Displays through a single cable is a multi stream supported which was it seems like it was originally designed so you [TS]
01:15:20 ◼ ► can daisy chain monitors together so you'd have a thunderbolt like go into one monitor [TS]
01:15:26 ◼ ► So you have to send two monitors for the signal down this one thunderbolt despite how it's doing just multi stream [TS]
01:15:31 ◼ ► things they make single Monder that consumes two streams and displays them in the right place [TS]
01:15:35 ◼ ► and that's why you might need some kind of driver support to correctly talk to the monitor using multiple streams I [TS]
01:15:41 ◼ ► know I'm standing within a modest in power we have a both of these images are for you [TS]
01:15:55 ◼ ► Displays let alone a quad twenty seven size thing the answer is No they're not like display part one point two can. [TS]
01:16:04 ◼ ► It's kind of a hack on top of the multi stream support to get this resolution to a modern monitor dependent so again [TS]
01:16:09 ◼ ► that looks like a compromise machine not sort of. We wait until we can do it all cleanly and elegantly and here it is. [TS]
01:16:20 ◼ ► but all these areas we were just that close just so close to getting everything the way it's supposed to be more not [TS]
01:16:26 ◼ ► quite there yet. Exactly and. So you know the big question is Will. Will Apple release. [TS]
01:16:34 ◼ ► The display we want anytime soon. First of all and what they do will even be compatible with this macro and. [TS]
01:16:41 ◼ ► We don't really know that yet still think her bio on the. Maybe to some you know. I mean and I did. [TS]
01:16:53 ◼ ► Assuming that nothing comes out that's going to make something really incompatible. [TS]
01:16:58 ◼ ► You know you can look at his and his C.P.U. Charts to see the progress of macros over the years. [TS]
01:17:03 ◼ ► How how slow it really is the side effect of that you know one thing is you should almost never buy two macros in a row. [TS]
01:17:18 ◼ ► when you're ready to sell it's still worth something which is true of all Max usually [TS]
01:17:22 ◼ ► but I'm in particular the macros really hold their value very well and. So I want to buy this computer. [TS]
01:17:34 ◼ ► And probably four or five years of usability of of still being a high performance computer. [TS]
01:17:49 ◼ ► And if I choose to use it for a long time I can you know you like John you're using your two thousand and eight macro. [TS]
01:17:56 ◼ ► And it's fine it's going to get things like it's going to go even longer Yeah like A [TS]
01:18:01 ◼ ► but I would say if you're buying if you're buying the machine. Buy it for what it can do for you today. [TS]
01:18:05 ◼ ► Like don't buy it with the expectation that you're going to be doing a five thousand buy something screen is maybe you [TS]
01:18:11 ◼ ► but if you want a small quiet powerful computer that's faster than any existing macro that drives your existing [TS]
01:18:17 ◼ ► monitors a non-reading resolution. And that you can use for years and years and not feel like you have slow machine. [TS]
01:18:23 ◼ ► But if you're buying it with the expectation then in a short time I'll be able to connect up this amazing new display [TS]
01:18:29 ◼ ► and all these maybe you won't maybe you will be like Don't know but for that purpose like the two thousand [TS]
01:18:40 ◼ ► and they want to try to say monitor it's running. Similar software with similar features. [TS]
01:18:45 ◼ ► It doesn't do anything amazing you're just keep doing what it always did very well and is amazing. [TS]
01:18:52 ◼ ► and all those good things going for it still may be able to be under my desk here for another year. On this topic. [TS]
01:19:00 ◼ ► We got a good question from a person who gave their name as a gains. And he's here she said. [TS]
01:19:08 ◼ ► Can you talk about why you guys would never use an Imax for work development etc I think it has many advantages to the [TS]
01:19:16 ◼ ► This fits right in here with like you know why we buy macros and why we like macros [TS]
01:19:20 ◼ ► and why John refused to buy an IMAX even though it actually surface needs way better and be way shape or time. [TS]
01:19:25 ◼ ► Not that I'm bitter but you know I think. If you have never used a macro. You're fine. [TS]
01:19:32 ◼ ► Keep not using them it's like using a giant monitor. Well when to use one. You're ruined. [TS]
01:19:37 ◼ ► And you will keep wanting to buy those big expensive things but you know and IMAX or a laptop. They're fine. [TS]
01:19:53 ◼ ► And you know people always say Oh do do I need X. or Y. For development. Most developed meant. [TS]
01:20:03 ◼ ► You're just typing into a text editor yet there's very few like I.D.E.'s that are really going to stress the computer [TS]
01:20:10 ◼ ► If you're doing web development you can do it on pretty much anything you can do it on eleven inch MacBook Air if you [TS]
01:20:15 ◼ ► want to it you can do it on anything it doesn't matter. Screen space is always nice to have. But performance wise. [TS]
01:20:21 ◼ ► It doesn't matter we're using for weapon violent for i OS development. You can. You can do it and everything else. You. [TS]
01:20:29 ◼ ► Again you need a lot of screen space. Especially for i Pad development and. And for Iowa stuff. [TS]
01:20:35 ◼ ► Xcode is a bit of a hog so if there's a lot of smart things that it will do I don't know if this applies to the other [TS]
01:20:41 ◼ ► big I do use the market like Eclipse or all the windows crap I don't know. I don't know that applies to that stuff but. [TS]
01:20:46 ◼ ► But I.D.E.'s can be very heavy and slow. Also just the compilation process is not. [TS]
01:20:53 ◼ ► Quick if you have a major project reviews and big libraries in and so you can start doing performance bottlenecks. [TS]
01:20:59 ◼ ► When doing I.I.S. Development but even then if you do with an eye on a modern math book pro or a mac you're fine. [TS]
01:21:14 ◼ ► or MAC development very easily if you if you get a mac mini with an S.S.D. and Stuff it full ram. [TS]
01:21:19 ◼ ► I guess it's going to be the fastest now it's not going to the fastest you're going to wait a little longer [TS]
01:21:23 ◼ ► but if you don't have another mac to compare it to you don't know how long a compile would take on a macro you just. [TS]
01:21:30 ◼ ► and you can get away with an AK many I know plenty of buy with developers who made. [TS]
01:21:34 ◼ ► Amazing great apps in the first mac was that many and that's why they did all the development on. [TS]
01:21:39 ◼ ► Once you get a faster mac then you realize OK I can go back to I can go back to developing on that mag many. [TS]
01:21:44 ◼ ► But you can get it done that's that's the amazing thing about development is the bottom of the bottom of the line Mac.. [TS]
01:21:49 ◼ ► Can physically speaking do development where they used to be like you needed to have the super high. [TS]
01:21:58 ◼ ► when I say can you do development in IMAX Of course you can of course you can do development back in fact most people [TS]
01:22:03 ◼ ► probably should do development on that because you don't need a macro for that you definitely on the macro to compile. [TS]
01:22:09 ◼ ► stuff can the compiler is not using your G.P.U. Yet not yet anyway. Also consider that in the new versions of X. [TS]
01:22:19 ◼ ► but they basically have this system by which you can compile regularly on a completely different computer which I [TS]
01:22:26 ◼ ► It was basically that they never came out said it was basically designed for Mack many do you know you guys know what [TS]
01:22:30 ◼ ► I'm thinking of you know they get continuous integration thing it's the Jenkins report on Jenkins Yeah you know yeah [TS]
01:22:37 ◼ ► yeah that's not just you're talking about distributed builds which they used to have yes distributed builds I'm sorry I [TS]
01:22:44 ◼ ► and then there's ways to farm out if you're you know that's one of the reasons why a lot of the mac development shops [TS]
01:22:50 ◼ ► can get away with giving the developers less powerful comparison you have a bunch of spare hardware [TS]
01:22:54 ◼ ► and you can set it up as a continuous continuous integration farm and have a doing your bills [TS]
01:23:09 ◼ ► The only few things that you would suffer for having an Aquarius. If you're game or you will suffer because the G.P.U. [TS]
01:23:15 ◼ ► Is not. If you care about super duper fast. That's three D. Games and full resin blah blah. [TS]
01:23:21 ◼ ► You're not going to get that of an IMAX P.C. At that point. Yeah. Well or a game console or whatever. [TS]
01:23:39 ◼ ► That's when you need a MacPro but I'm actually pews are faster and single threaded and that pros for the most part. [TS]
01:23:45 ◼ ► If you buy the super high end one so that's like IMAX A really are amazing machines and.. [TS]
01:23:49 ◼ ► Just because I don't want to get one because I don't want to have a when the G.P.U. [TS]
01:23:53 ◼ ► That's like the edgiest of edge cases like the I'm like is a great desktop machine for anybody. [TS]
01:24:00 ◼ ► And it's getting better all the time now the you know one thing goes completely as they like the fusion drive seems to [TS]
01:24:06 ◼ ► be great but I did see some reports in the web about it having trouble with audio recording which gave me some pause [TS]
01:24:14 ◼ ► The spinning this will be gone from the i Macin to probably be even thinner just be amazing fantasy. [TS]
01:24:21 ◼ ► That's the machine that everyone should look at when you go into the Apple Store don't look at the macros. [TS]
01:24:29 ◼ ► That said there's a few so I want to I wrote in some post this week couple days ago I forget which one that. [TS]
01:24:44 ◼ ► And I've regretted buying almost all of them except the macro. The my private have are granted a macro purchase and. [TS]
01:24:56 ◼ ► And what happens at the end of their life and how soon that the end of their useful life. [TS]
01:25:10 ◼ ► Because I tried to have like this cause a computer to do accessories tasks and turns out that sucks. [TS]
01:25:16 ◼ ► And it's really a pan pin the but so I didn't do it anymore but when it's very clear when using these computers. [TS]
01:25:25 ◼ ► That these are consumer grade parts. And that they're you know if they're made to be used by one household. [TS]
01:25:32 ◼ ► For a few years. And then they're basically worthless and they're made to be discarded donated a recycled. And so it. [TS]
01:25:44 ◼ ► I've had with I'm actually are I might have a couple of screen issues especially about the time it was like three years [TS]
01:25:52 ◼ ► It was out of warranty a rational one out of warranty like part of the screen had like a deadline [TS]
01:26:01 ◼ ► And there was like this big giant pile of hard drives hanging out the back of it because we couldn't get to the [TS]
01:26:07 ◼ ► internal one easily enough to upgrade it and needed more performance out of the disk I O. [TS]
01:26:18 ◼ ► Whenever it would get under load it with the fan which been up and you'd hear it. So. [TS]
01:26:23 ◼ ► And most that applies to laptops as well. And so some of those needs are removed or minimize now. Disk I O. [TS]
01:26:32 ◼ ► Is a great example. Disguise or used to suck. Now it's great because the cities are everywhere. And so you know. [TS]
01:26:46 ◼ ► and what you can get everywhere else especially in laptops. Close the Gap tremendously. [TS]
01:26:50 ◼ ► So that's great but all those limitations are still there. If a screen goes bad in an IMAX or macro. [TS]
01:27:03 ◼ ► If you want to change the screen size or upgrade it two years in. You're screwed you can't do it. If you will. [TS]
01:27:16 ◼ ► Well tough luck you know you better buy a read a map a pro but even then like the current Retina MacBook Pro. [TS]
01:27:24 ◼ ► The panel that we're talking about over thunderbolt two unless it was made for and they didn't never mention it [TS]
01:27:29 ◼ ► but there's a special stuff on the macro navel as I don't think the retina MacPro has that. At least not sixty hertz. [TS]
01:27:36 ◼ ► So if you want to buy a computer today. That will last you. Very happily for the next two to four years. [TS]
01:27:46 ◼ ► The macro is it. The IMAX might. But you're taking a lot of risk there and at the end. [TS]
01:27:52 ◼ ► You can sell a three or four year old MacPro for over a thousand bucks. Easily and. [TS]
01:27:59 ◼ ► The three year old I get maybe you know maybe a few hundred. You know you're not talking a whole lot there. [TS]
01:28:08 ◼ ► and some of that is minimized now from from the reduction of hard drives the like that. [TS]
01:28:13 ◼ ► but there's still a lot of those cases where over time. You might come to regret having chosen the i Mac. If you. [TS]
01:28:26 ◼ ► and i Macs are kind of a sucker's bet because they cost the cost so much money like you can. [TS]
01:28:30 ◼ ► You can push an IMAX up towards four grand. Well you can go right past four grand you can.. [TS]
01:28:40 ◼ ► Like or as close as you can get to the same hardware. It's not that different in price it's. [TS]
01:28:44 ◼ ► It's like I think I said on my site somewhere think it's like five hundred bucks difference at that point. [TS]
01:28:48 ◼ ► Now of course you get the free monitor mix in but plan for the my program to do G.P. Use and feel like there's. [TS]
01:28:53 ◼ ► It's end of the higher and Thunderbolt more thunderbolt ports. The dual net reports if you'll ever use that. [TS]
01:29:00 ◼ ► There's a lot more advantages to the macro that partially offset that screen thing. [TS]
01:29:06 ◼ ► and if you find yourself like I was you find yourself in the I'm at configurator cranking everything up. [TS]
01:29:11 ◼ ► Then it's probably time to look another scene I think the sweet spot of the I AM act is kind of in the middle range [TS]
01:29:15 ◼ ► where what you're getting is you're getting a computer that you're going to run I life apps on [TS]
01:29:23 ◼ ► and you getting like a sealed little thing that just looks like a monitor with like a wireless keyboard [TS]
01:29:26 ◼ ► and mouse attached. And that's all to ever going to being you're going to use it like that to the day it dies.. [TS]
01:29:37 ◼ ► Maybe they'll never going to have a need to create any of the ports except maybe some U.S.B. [TS]
01:29:48 ◼ ► and it's got more than enough storage to in there to last them forever you get a fusion drive. [TS]
01:29:56 ◼ ► and snappy for the three apps they use all the time they're never going to upgrade the never going to care about the [TS]
01:30:04 ◼ ► Once you start cranking that stuff up and you've got a for ray machine do like to argue that you are more like oh [TS]
01:30:08 ◼ ► but i gotta have more better and. It's not that's not a more better machine because you will go start to get the itch. [TS]
01:30:13 ◼ ► A couple years down the line of wanting to do more and well I've already maxed out there [TS]
01:30:19 ◼ ► and the people who just have their IMAX sitting on their desk as their little home computer. [TS]
01:30:23 ◼ ► Don't care about those things and for them it's a great machine. Or if you just you know. [TS]
01:30:31 ◼ ► and I think you can get five years out of an American middle range where he'd be perfectly happy with it. [TS]
01:30:39 ◼ ► Like I know myself well enough to know that if I bought an IMAX instead of a macro. [TS]
01:30:44 ◼ ► First of all as soon as there's a retina monitor I would. I would feel like an idiot. So if you know. [TS]
01:30:50 ◼ ► For For me the the the value option would be to just wait until it's a retina IMAX and buy that [TS]
01:30:58 ◼ ► but I'm not sure we're getting that this year I don't know I mean if you look at where the technology is where the [TS]
01:31:06 ◼ ► Driving them and stuff like that I would necessarily say right now i Macin twenty fourteen is a sure thing. [TS]
01:31:12 ◼ ► I don't think so either. I mean probably twenty fifteen by MAC I bet a lot but we'll have it then. But twenty fourteen. [TS]
01:31:19 ◼ ► I don't know I would I would give it may be maybe a fifty percent chance of happening. [TS]
01:31:30 ◼ ► And before you answer what I mean by that is what. Now they took me six. You're doing anyway sorry. Moving on. [TS]
01:31:41 ◼ ► So the reason I ask is because the obvious trump card answer is you just want more real estate for developing right now [TS]
01:31:54 ◼ ► but at a distance in which I sit from say take my high rez anti-glare pre Retina MacBook Pro. [TS]
01:32:03 ◼ ► I can tell the difference between a retina macro pro-ana not written a macro pro but it is not night [TS]
01:32:10 ◼ ► I don't find it to be as agree Jason as frustrating as you do and it doesn't make you wrong [TS]

01:32:21 ◼ ► And I don't know if maybe that's a statement rather than a question. It's. It's that good. I mean it's. [TS]
01:32:27 ◼ ► So I work a lot with text which looks awesome on retina. And I work a lot with images. When you see a photo like. [TS]
01:32:36 ◼ ► It's so funny I so I take my laptop and we go on trips of course and. I'll take up take a little camera and up. [TS]
01:32:44 ◼ ► All import the photos all I'm still on the trip to look into light were Missi have to turn out [TS]
01:32:53 ◼ ► On the laptop and like wow these photos are amazing. I can't believe how good this is look at how great this looks. [TS]
01:33:00 ◼ ► And then I get home an important my desktop and they just look so drab and disappointing [TS]

01:33:43 ◼ ► They don't care or they can like they can vaguely Well I guess to text a sharper or something [TS]
01:33:47 ◼ ► but they don't really care for a lot of people it's going to be true. Forever and they won't care. [TS]

01:34:13 ◼ ► I think maybe it's just that because I've never used a retina computer for any duration of time more than like ten [TS]

01:52:32 ◼ ► That's that's maybe the only thing that will make a big difference because maybe I wouldn't even notice the. [TS]

01:56:05 ◼ ► It's all about you doesn't mean you just immediately had to buy whatever the out there to get rid of it I want to buy [TS]
01:56:08 ◼ ► the right new thing to jump to a not just anything I buy I'll be faster. Mech many use probably have faster G.P.S. [TS]

01:58:35 ◼ ► I don't see the mac mini being a very good deal for any actual like desktop use as a computer as opposed to a closet [TS]
01:58:51 ◼ ► And maybe let me review some other crap I might have from my previous computer. So the many years. [TS]
01:59:00 ◼ ► but it is worth keeping around just because like the profit margin I got to be pretty darn good because there is cheap [TS]
