Here are some screen shots of Windows 8 RP. Remember we will be demoing this during our live show this Friday. It should be fun.




Windows 8 Release Preview is here. We’ll give a live demo during the show this Friday. Stay tuned!



Remember that “cool” video we were talking about? Well we’re serious. This is going to be a really cool video because, as we briefly talked about on CCL, it’s a liquid cooling video. It’s going to be an awesome, 55 minute, video of humor, technology, and just pure awesomeness! Look for this video coming this Tuesday. CLICK HERE for the video.



What You’ll (Most Likely) See, and Not See, in the Next MacBook Pro

The 9th-generation MacBook Pro is coming soon. If you are interested in what I think it’ll be like, you should read this. I am basing this post off of patterns I’ve noticed throughout the years, Apple strategies I’ve noticed throughout the years, and research that I’ve done on speculation. Here’s the list of things that will (most likely) change:

1. Retina Display - The computer’s resolution will be doubled. This will allow you to run the system at a native resolution and have a huge workspace, or run the system at normal resolution with HiDPI. Also, you can have any resolution in between.

2. Thinner design - The next MacBook Pro will be thinner. It will not be wedge-shaped though. To keep all of the ports that a pro computer needs, the design will have to stay flat.

Now because of the thinner design, you will see some things disappear. The SuperDrive will probably be gone, and the Ethernet port will most likely be gone. There has been speculation on the removal of FireWire, but pro users, like myself, would flip-sh*t if that happens. A USB to Ethernet adapter can be used to get Ethernet capability back.

3. Ivy Bridge - The new Intel CPUs, and GPUs, will be in the new MacBook Pros. The CPUs will also run at higher clock speeds.

4. Dual Thunderbolt - This is a possibility. There might be two Thunderbolt ports on the next MacBook Pro.

So that’s what I’m speculating as of now. I’m sure there will be some differences. But we’ll see. Remember to tune into our WWDC specials for Computer Clan Live. One will be on June 11th at 12:00 noon central, during WWDC’s opening keynote, and one will be on June 15th at 9:00 PM central. 



Well, that sure is interesting…

Well I’m sure we’ll be seeing some nice new computers at WWDC 2012. I’m sure we’ll have a great time with both of our live special featuring WWDC.

Also, the Geekbench sound’ve been run in the full version with 64-bit. The score would be even higher!



Have you seen the 3D Center yet? It is a pretty nice, new, page on the CC website. Here are some of the 3D renderings from the gallery.




Our Computer Clan Live WWDC Special is coming soon! The stream is going to be on June 15th @ 9 PM central. WWDC ‘12 starts on June 11th and it ends on the 15th. Get ready to discuss some awesome tech!



Mac OS XI concepts is one of the topics for CCL this week. This was made somewhere else but reposted on 9to5 Mac. Some of the images look good, but some of the ideas for this new system… not so much.
