I think it just has more to do with how you say it. In all honesty you do come off a little snarky.
mullerbikeralterego
15:20:08
I want a ipad pro if the price is right
ljpuk
15:20:49
isnt it the last one outside of the new campus though?
mullerbikeralterego
15:21:03
Giz a job apple
mullerbikeralterego
15:22:39
apple would have had made room for the camp bed for that keynote
mullerbikeralterego

wondering how I could do my photography though?, import from dslr
mullerbikeralterego
15:27:40
ipad pro depends on price and my retina the first one is getting old
ljpuk
15:28:25
creative cloud on iOS is stunning
ljpuk
15:28:48
ive only got a mini so was going to get air anyways but no way now im getting PRO so that I can sketch my story outlines etc in it
ljpuk
15:28:55
Notes.app making a huge difference
MikeTRose
15:29:17
i had a "whoa" moment in the Pro segment
DocRock
15:29:31
I iPadAir also patrice
davecaolo
15:29:38
Like, "Whoa, that's the size of a cafeteria tray."
mullerbiker
15:31:33
can you have an apple pencil on its own 
mullerbikeralterego
15:32:46
Ipads don't have proper USB portsNo file systemNo ethernetNo printer connectionYou will say "air print"To which I say "try using air print where the only connection to a printer is a USB cable".professionals don't like to loose business and missing out on printing a document could cause a pro to look like an amateur.

but it can get part of the way there
maccast
15:35:46
no lee, ans it never will
Ewen
15:36:05
Its going to be poor for higher level photos I thinkg 4GB RAM?
maccast
15:36:25
But, it will handle photos in a different way and it WILL work for a lot of people.
ljpuk
15:36:35
nope, I think iOS apps for photography are almost there but physically getting off my DSLR and edited will be hard.
ljpuk
15:36:43
be good for when im out and about though

ljpuk
15:37:46
patrice how do you get images off dslr and into your workflow? camera connection kit?
patrice
15:37:57
yep

the reason you need it Ewen is the alternative is a Surface.
DocRock

Sacs I got money on iPad Pro and Parallels 11 may allow Windows 10 to work on iOS

you can guess, tho
rowarta
15:44:47
yep, I reckon £1000 for 128GB with Cell
patrice
15:45:00
$ = £
rowarta
15:45:19
I converted to $ and added VAT
maccast
15:47:13
They have not announced UK prices yet.
maccast
15:47:34
Probably waiting to see how the dollar is against the Pound in Nov.
rowarta

for me (writing) i love sketching out my outlines with a stylus
patrice
15:51:43
I’d love to do that more. But it’s hard with the current ipad
ljpuk
15:51:58
for consumer
patrice
15:51:58
Which is why I’m considering the Pro
ibookery
15:51:59
learning how to draw on a tablet w/ Adonit Jot stylus.
ljpuk
15:52:48
with notes.app on iOS 9 today I have been sketching ideas, adding web links and typing all in the same note
ibookery
15:52:52
Need to try Windows tablet and see how Photoshop type editing runs on it
ljpuk
15:52:56
i could see that being amazing on a PRO
ljpuk
15:54:00
ive tried to put iPad into my writing workflow and with iOS 9 its a lot better
ibookery
15:54:11
Hairy tablets would be very wierd
patrice

lool

rememebr we grew up on the traditional pc, i see my daughter and she will never use one

Kids. Think they'll just throw some Instagram filters on their pictures and call it awesome.
Gazmaz

Did Canon just drop 250mb pixel images…. That’ll take some adaptation ;)
DocRock

Thats for Science and Industry tho Gazmaz

Ewen

If you think about it, thats an 8GB RAW File
Ewen
15:57:57
Nothing that can process that to storage in under 10 mins atm
ibookery
15:58:29
so I can get 4 images on a 32Gb SD card. Awesome
ljpuk
15:58:39
i would have to get that keyboard cover
ljpuk
15:58:48
not at $169
DocRock
15:58:55
davecaolo have you typed on a surface??
patrice
15:58:58
Then you need a drawer full of cards :P
davecaolo
15:59:19
Doc, I haven't.
ibookery
15:59:36
I try to type on the 'soft' keyboard on tablet in Periscope and it is slow and frustrating
Gazmaz
16:00:01
I think that most people now don’t care about printing images it’s all online so being able to do everything in connection with image manipulation on a mobile device is what people want. Soon it’ll move to them just having access to those images because the software and hardware will take better pictures than they could ever take.
ljpuk
16:00:04
Apple TV wont replace my PS4
ljpuk
16:00:12
I am keeping with my 2nd Gen for iTunes content
Gazmaz

Apple TV same old UI :(
ljpuk
16:01:36
price seems good to me
ljpuk
16:02:26
wonder what they will do to the interface on the old one?, maybe a lick of paint
Gazmaz
16:02:46
I thought that’s all they did with the new UI
mullerbikeralterego

rowarta
16:05:32
new Fire TV on the way, maybe 4k
DocRock
16:05:37
maccast I'm the exact same as yu plus MLB and NFL network, the main thing missing on appletv for me is 4K

KODI sideload on the Fire TV is my goto

me too
rowarta
16:12:40
DocRock Nvidea Shield Console at $199 with KODI is the best performance
ljpuk
16:13:02
Plex is coming to Apple TV
rowarta
16:13:17
ljpuk is that confirmed
ljpuk
16:13:48
Saw it on a site today
ljpuk
16:13:49
I reached out to Plex via email and Scott Olechowski, the co-founder of Plex replied, saying, “We are very excited to have a crack at bringing our users Apple TV. It’s been a long requested platform and we’re excited to work on it. We want it, our users want it…and we’re anxiously awaiting the tvOS developer beta info, so we can finally dig in.”
patrice
16:14:35
Nice!
rowarta
16:14:57
ljpuk that's brilliant news if they are able to deliver
rowarta
16:15:11
BTN should have a cordcutting shop :-)
patrice
16:15:13
I don’t see why they shouldn’t

watchOS2 GM is solid for me - install it DocRock
ljpuk
16:17:42
weather app on its own is FAST to load, well all the apple ones are
ljpuk
16:17:53
SIRI has been a little less reliable though
ibookery
16:18:33
why didn't Apple go to Watch OS 1.1 and jump straight to OS2? Was it warp speed development?
ljpuk
16:19:02
I think they wanted a major release number to line up with the fact iOS is on a major number
patrice
16:19:20
ibookery: Because it’s the real first full OS
patrice
16:19:26
with real apps and everything
patrice
16:19:33
1.0 was more 0.9
ibookery
16:19:48
WatchOS. No longer in Beta :p patrice
patrice
16:19:53
:D
ljpuk
16:20:15
im not intending to get a 6s but I am going to avoid the Apple Store just in case
ljpuk
16:20:30
I think once you try it you wont want to use anything else
ljpuk
16:20:48
like TouchID
Gazmaz
16:21:27
TouchID is sooooo useful.
MikeTRose
16:21:28
live photos though
ibookery
16:21:40
Can't Touch This (wears parachute pants)
ljpuk
16:21:49

Gazmaz
16:21:49
:)
Gazmaz
16:22:01
then turn them off?
Gazmaz
16:22:50
I’m looking forward to archiving all that 4K video I can’t watch on my TV at the moment ;)
ibookery
16:24:11
lots of iPhone 5 people will be tempted to go the 6s
MikeTRose
16:24:12
liive phoooootoooos
ljpuk
16:24:21
4k certainly makes the 16Gb model interesting.... assume it will default to 1080p
ibookery
16:25:12
Live Photos might just get rid of all those eyes closed pictures
ljpuk
16:25:29
what about the fact it captures audio?
Gazmaz
16:25:35
Most of what Apple do HAS BEEN DONE BEFORE, but Apple (normally) do it right and usable.
ljpuk
16:25:41
Mine would be "hold still for a min etc..."
Gazmaz
16:26:23
lolz you’ll be saying hold still, right now move :)
ibookery

Apple is Sorcery. Burn it :p
