[Windu]

You really don't see the huge difference between those solutions and being able to push anything on your laptop's screen with the simple click of a button?

a lot of devices use DLNA, basically the same thing as Air Play.

 

[Keylime]

News maps icon...it's happening....it's going to happen!

 

[LyleLanley]

Sports scores on Siri finally.

 

[StrikerObi]

Sports scores, thank fucking god.

Edit: Buster Posey shot! GO NOLES!

 

[Talon]

Make Siri less Shitty. Hooray!

 

[PhoncipleBone]

what does it say though when only half of their userbase uses iMessage and less than half uses game center though?

That they are sending messages to non iOS users and that many others dont care about posting their high scores.

 

[parasight]

How does it know which Giants?

 

[kaskade]

20 bucks. They might as well make it free.

 

[buhdeh]

Most of the changes aren't a big deal, but I've been running the developer preview and the superior iCloud integration and Notification Center are *amazing*. Also, iMessage. Other improvements = meh, but those are unbelievably handy.

I have iMessage on iPad/iPhone and it's way gimped. Unless you give everyone your e-mail address and tell them to message you with that instead of your number, it seems like ti doesn't work very well at all.

 

[Enco]

Sports my ass.

 

[BolognaSoup]

Nothing on the iMacs yet?

 

[Oppo]

it won't. you can already approximate the feature using AirServer on Lion/Snow Leopard and, to be honest, it's not that great. there's serious bandwidth and latency issues that won't be resolved until Apple moves to gigabit wireless.

it's fun to try, but enough frustrations to make it likely nothing more than a tech demo.

I'm tempted to say that you have not tuned it optimally, as when I do this, it runs like a top. Nice quality too, especially for live transcoding. Also this is going from 2nd floor of house to basement, via wifi. Can usually do 2-2.5k bitrate no problem.

 

[Gary Whitta]

So does Plex or PS3 Media Server and they don't require an Apple TV!

Damn it that's not a "Game Changer" Whitta!

Yeah because an easy-to-use solution baked into the OS and fully supported by all parties is the same thing as some obscure piece of freeware you have to go find and figure out how to use.

 

[pxleyes]

Sports scores is amazing for me.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Scores is pretty awesome. My first iphone will be the 5, so checking my Iowa State scores will be great.

 

[strafer]

Mysterious driver? We alreadu know who it is.

 

[The Elite]

I love Baseball so this is good.

 

[giga]

Baseball sucks.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

I wonder if the new upgrades to Siri will stop it from remaining a useless load of shit outside of the USA.

 

[Futureman]

people would really rather talk to their phone then just open up the espn app? Siri why?

edit: for scores at least.... player cards and stats is pretty cool I guess.

 

[Ambitious]

Verizon and AT&T CEOs are clutching their hearts at those numbers. Lol.

I'm using SMS only as iMessage doesn't work for me. Messages get lost, won't be sent or are sent with hours of delay. Restored iOS several times, nothing helped.

 

[dc89]

This is cool. I hope they've worked on the whole recognising what your saying though.

 

[Sean]

This sports stuff is going to be HUGE.

 

[Windu]

"When will David Wright get Injured?"

Baseball sucks.

no.

 

[kr2t0s]

Since so much of Siri is server side...do these questions work right now? Seems like no need to wait for iOS 6

 

[Mobius 1]

Siri F1 widget or GTFO.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Scott Forstall all checking on the MLB team he will be able to buy soon.

 

[eznark]

You really don't see the huge difference between those solutions and being able to push anything on your laptop's screen with the simple click of a button?

Not for my purposes, no. And I don't think even this awesome new MacBook is powerful enough to replace a gaming PC so for gaming it doesn't really cut it either. (not sure if that is even possible)

It's definitely cool and slick as hell. Seems to have limited impact though.

 

[amrihua]

I wonder when the cutoff will be for Mountain Lion running on older hardware.

Same cutoff for Lion. 32-bit EFI Intel Macs won't be updated

 

[Lkr]

i wouldn't mind siri sports...except the espn scorecenter pushes me a million notifications per hour so i'm not sure if i'll need it

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Nothing on the iMacs yet?

That and the new Mac Pro will be the "One more thing..."

 

[entremet]

I wonder when the cutoff will be for Mountain Lion running on older hardware.

They already mentioned it.

 

[dark_chris]

"When will David Wright get Injured?"

no.

LMAO

 

[Xater]

I wonder if they will finally make all those useful Siri features work in something else than English....

 

[DenisQc]

very good question

 

[StrikerObi]

But does she do College Football?

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

So does Plex or PS3 Media Server and they don't require an Apple TV!

Damn it that's not a "Game Changer" Whitta!

When was the last time you watched a MKV file using PS3MS or Plex?

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

Yeah because an easy-to-use solution baked into the OS and fully supported by all parties is the same thing as some obscure piece of freeware you have to go find and figure out how to use.

I'm pretty sure Plex is being supported by more and more manufacturers.

 

[Raitosaito]

a lot of devices use DLNA, basically the same thing as Air Play.

They both suck.

Win win.

 

[Midas]

Nothing on the iMacs yet?

There won't be any new iMacs now.

 

[MThanded]

sports. Good stuff.

 

[Gomu Gomu]

Siri...zzzzzzzzzz

 

[darkside31337]

Batting average? Apple is so old, at least use OBP.

 

[scorcho]

You really don't see the huge difference between those solutions and being able to push anything on your laptop's screen with the simple click of a button?

and, again, you're divorcing the thought of being able to do that with the practicality/reality of how it's accomplished. unless Apple magically fixed wireless throughput and the performance of their (admittedly already great) real-time H264 encoding/streaming infrastructure, it's not as fluid or seamless an experience as you'd expect.

 

[badcrumble]

Somewhere, Jon Gruber just had an orgasm over Siri+baseball.

 

[mf.luder]

Get out of Beta in Canada. And give us NAVIGATION!

I'm getting ready to get my pitchfork....

 

[mclaren777]

Same cutoff for Lion. 32-bit EFI Intel Macs won't be updated

Meh. My wife wouldn't notice the difference anyone.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Fair enough. It's going to be huge for my uses, though. It will also remove the barrier that exists for most 'normal' people to setting up a wireless connection to stream content from their PC to their televisions.

 

[DrFunk]

the map looks different...

 

[Dreaver]

Man the new retina Macbook, I'd love to have it (I do a lot of video editing and I need one for my new study) but fucking hell $2200 is a lot of money and waaaay too expensive for me (I'm a poor student).
