    Actually why is the 17" Macbook Pro gone from the store? Has it been discontinued?

    Yeah, discontinued. This has been predicted for a while, so it's not a huge surprise. The new Retina display MBP replaces it.

    Personally i'd never use a 17''er as I find them way too big. But I know of a lot of people who couldn't use anything smaller. I'll say there will be a few upset fans. The Retina screen will have to fill the void I suppose.

    Had a semi when I saw the video with retina and the beautiful fan and look how slim it is. Then I saw the price and I lost the semi in a nano second and tightened my arse like ya do when you go, oh that's gonna hurt!

    This one is really for pros.

    Think the Education Discount has been dropped from "up to 10%" down to "up to 6%". Unless my calculations are wrong (which they probably are). Lots of angry students. We may have another riot on our hands :D

    Apple has just posted the Full Keynote video here.

    Also they have just released iTunes 10.6.3 for everyone, not just Dev's.

    Wow. About 10mins 30secs into the video are some shots of the quays around Capel Street. Wasn't sure it was Dublin until the fella started speaking in an Irish Accent. Weird seeing it in one of Apple's videos.

    iOS 6 will be out in Autumn sometime. Whenever the new iPhone arrives, so probably late September/early October.

    Oh and Siri for iPad is iPad 3 only.

    Discontinuing the 17" is a strange one ... I had one of the non-unibody ones and I can honestly say it was the best computer I've ever owned. They do suit some people.

    I heard that the 17" only accounted for 1% of all their sold laptops.

    One thing that always bothered me about FaceTime and iMessage was if somebody calls you through your phone you can receive the call or message. But to be able to get them on your Mac or iPad they had to use your email address. I always hated it and thought it made both FaceTime and iMessage useless on the iPad and Mac for receiving calls and texts.

    Just seen now that Apple are integrating/combining both your phone number and email address so it solves that problem. One of my favourite features from iOS 6. :D

    Bloody hell you're negative. It's only about 3 months and if there's nothing in it for you then why are you worried or complaining about it?

    Apple tv SDK in September then. Normal timing I guess for the apple tv, but you'd expect a new sdk to be announced at wwdc. Hmm.
