直播开始

9:08AM PT - We've got a little less
than an hour to go, so we'll just kind of be loitering outside Apple
Town Hall, waiting to spot Steve and the unicorn that is his new
MacBook Pro

9:08AM PT - 现在还有不到一个小时，我们只能在苹果大楼前走来走去，焦急的等待看见老乔和传说中的新MacBook

9:54AM And we're in our seats! Some nice classical music playing -- just the thing the quiet before the storm we're expecting.

9:54AM 我们已经坐下了！周围开始播放优美的古典音乐-正是所期待的暴风雨前的宁静

9:57AM "Ladies and gentlemen -- silence your cell phones."

9:57AM 女士们先生们，请关闭你的手机

9:59AM Looks like we're getting ready to start -- the lights are dimming...

9:59AM 看起来马上开始了，灯光暗了下来

9:59AM People are scurrying to grab their seats. And... Steve's out!

9:59AM 乔布斯出来了

10:00AM "Good morning -- we appreciate
you coming down this morning... I think everyone knows today is about
notebooks. And we've got some exciting new notebooks."

10:00AM 早上好，感谢大家的光临，我想大家应该知道了这次我们主要谈的是笔记本，我们会有一些令人激动的笔记本发布

10:00AM "Before that I want to cover the state of the Mac -- Tim Cook will take us through it."

在这之前我想先请TIm整体的谈一下Mac

10:01AM Tim Cook: "Good morning -- our
last reported quarter we sold 2.5m Macs. In several quarters in a row
we've been growing 2/3x the market growth."

早上好，最新的数据是我们卖出去了250万台Mac，连续几个季度我们的成长率比整个行业大三分之二。

10:02AM "Why? Superior computers --
they're far superior to anything on the market." Now he's going through
the line, iMacs, Air... "And with those better computers comes better
software... like Leopard, like iLife, and products like iWork."

为什么？？因为我们的高性能电脑，Mac比市面上任何的电脑都要先进，在我们整个产品线都是这样，不仅仅是笔记本，imac, Air也是一样。

10:03AM "Third reason: compatibility.
When people looked at macs in the past, they were concerned about
switching -- we fixed that with Boot Camp. We also work with third
parties on productions like Fusion and Parallels." Windows on an iMac
"Frankly this sends a shiver up my spine." Big laughs.

10:03AM 第三个原因，兼容性。当人们回想起过去的mac电脑时，他们关心的是转换，但我们现在已经用Boot Camp修复了这个问题。我们还与第三方合作开发Fusion 和 Parallels等产品。坦白的说在iMac上运行Window让我们很激动。

10:04AM Ouch -- "The next up is
something we didn't do -- Vista." Big laughs. "I think it's fair to say
Vista hasn't lived up to everything Microsoft hoped it would -- and
this has given us a door in."

10:04AM Vista -- the 4th reason Macs are doing well. Nasty, nasty burn to Microsoft

-10:04AM 下一个系统是我们没有涉足的：Vista.。我想Vista并没有达到微软的期望，这就留给了我们机会。

10:05AM Now Tim is talking about the
PC vs. Mac ads. Playing one now. PC is on a king's throne... good
stuff. The gist is switching is easy. PC: "I banish you."

现在播放一段 I m mac 的广告片，数落Vista

10:06AM Tim: "Retail stores -- 400,000
visitors a day. 50% of the Macs they sell are people that are new to
Mac." Now he's busting out a slideshow of new stores around the world:
Sydney, Bejing... "Both stores are off to a great start."

10:06am Tim提到“苹果的零售商店每天有40万的来访者。百分之五十的苹果电脑的购买者对Mac完全是陌生的。”然后他展示了一张幻灯片，上面有全世界各地的新店，包括悉尼，北京，“这两家店将是我们一个重要的开始。”

10:06AM "So these are the six reasons we've been successful."

10:06am “这些就是我们为什么这么成功的六个原因。

10:07AM "If you look at the history,
the Mac has outgrown the market for almost 4 years. There's been some
key milestones along the way, like our transition to Intel, the Vista
announcement and Leopard." "Since we're growing faster than the market,
in US retail marketshare we've gone from single digits to 17.6%."

10:07AM 苹果目前在大学中的占有率非常高，美国苹果的市场份额已经达到了17.6%，我们将我们的产品同时转移到了Intel平台. Vista的发布 和 Leopard的发布

10:08AM "One out of every 3 dollars is spent on the Macintosh. What a difference a few years makes."

你只需要每年捐献3美元在Macintosh上，就可以享受许多乐趣

10:09AM "Macs at major universities --
from 15% to almost 50%" "Many universities requires students have a
laptop, we've worked hard to get Mac to be a choice." Shot of a school
room... every laptop is a Mac! Ha!

我们的份额从15%涨到到今天的50%，很多大学生需要笔记本，我们已经花了很多努力在这个上面，吸引他们接受Mac

10:10AM "In Q1 to Q3 2008, we've equaled all sales of 2007... that's the state of the mac!" Steve's back out!

在2008年的第一季到第三季，我们已经达成了相当于2007年全年的销量

10:11AM "Let's talk about notebooks.
Before we get into the actual notebooks, we want to talk about
discoveries we've made. I'd like to talk about some new ways to build
notebooks." Jony Ive is out!

我们先谈谈笔记本，在这之前我想说我们有些新的的发现，恩，我指的是一些做笔记本的新方法

10:11AM "I'd like to take a couple of
moments to tell you about a real breakthrough we've had about how we
can design and build our notebooks." "I'd like to start by giving you a
sense of context." "I'd like to show you how we build our current
MacBook Pro."

我希望花点时间告诉各位我们在设计已经制造笔记本的一个新的突破，我希望给你们一个概念，我先让你们看看我们是怎么做现有的macbook pro 的

10:12AM "One of the problems is
designing something as thin and light as the Pro, but making it
strong." "The structure is primarily derived from this..." Shows the
internal frame. "It's made of multiple parts, then assembled into the
bottom case... a very thin aluminum pressing."

“一个主要的问题是怎样做到跟pro一样轻薄，但是更坚固”

10:13AM "The palm rest requires the
same sort of internal structure. A series of stiffening plates..."
"Finally, we had this plastic gasket -- it helps us control the
juntion."

10:14AM Very dry stuff... he's building here: "We've been looking for a better way -- and we think we've found it."

10:14AM "This new process culminated
in the design of this product: the MacBook Air. You couldn't build
something this strong and thin in the older way."

10:15AM "We discovered if we started
with a thick piece of aluminum we could make a lighter and stronger
part." "So we make it from a solid piece of aluminum." Uh huh...
Brickish.

10:16AM He's going through the
very detailed way this piece of metal is machined. "We go through a
noisy stage called rough cutting -- we create the holes for the key
caps, towards the end we anodize it..."

10:16AM "Through each stage we're
cleaning, collecting, and recycling the material. We started with a
2.5lbs piece of metal and end up with a piece that weighs a quarter of
a pound."

10:17AM "So this new way has a
relevance beyond the Air -- we've been working super hard on designing
new uni-body enclosures. Thank you." And Steve is back!

10:18AM "We also have some new
graphics for notebooks... NVIDIA talked to us about an amazing graphics
part they wanted to use." "We said this is fantastic, but can we use it
in a notebook?"

10:18AM "They've dubbed it the
NVIDIA GeForce 9400 M -- it's an amazing chip. Chipset and GPU on one
die -- 70% is the GPU, 16 parallel graphic cores, 54gflops of graphics
performance. It's a sunner."

10:19AM "This delivers up to 5x faster
graphics than the chips we've been using. So what's it look like when
we take it into the real world? up to 6x performance."

10:20AM "We've been shipping the
8600M, we're at 55% for heavy graphics performance compared to that
chip." "We've got some great new graphics."

10:20AM "We've got a new trackpad -- a large multitouch glass trackpad."

10:21AM "39% larger tracking area,
multitouch, glass -- and we've optimized the friction on the glass...
but where's the button? It's the entire pad -- gives you more area,
keeps you from hunting... multi buttons via software, just turn on in
preferences."

10:21AM 触摸范围大了39%，多点触摸，玻璃。
我们已经对玻璃的磨擦力进行了优化，但按键在那？整个都是触摸板，使你可以能对软件进行跟踪，多点操作，并进行参数设置

10:22AM New gestures... Steve is
showing off one and two finger gestures... now three... uh huh, where
could this be going? "And we've added some four finger gestures. "A new
way to open expose, and a great way to app switch..."

10:22AM新的姿势，Steve正在做一两个手势，一在是三个。下面会怎么样呢？现在增加到了四个手势，一种新的打开的方法，一个软件转换的好方法

10:22AM "So a new trackpad for notebooks. So let's take this tech and make some new notebooks. We're introducing the new MacBook Pro."

10:23AM "Today we're replacing the old
model with this..." Well, it's EXACTLY like the leak we saw last night.
"Glass display, all connectors on one side..."

10:25AM "Mini display port
connector... let's take a look at each of these ports. We're not going
to talk about the old stuff we've built in, magnetic latch, backlit
keyboard, built in isight... we don't have time to talk about that."
"Precision unibody enclosure... exceptionally beautiful... much more
rigid construction. We're really happy about this." Wow, Steve is going
to pass around the shell to everyone. That's kind of awesome. "We need
them back." Big laughs.

10:25AM The casing is moving quickly... should be here any second.

10:26AM Someone in our row is holding it to take pictures! What gives?

10:26AM Oh wait, it's us!

10:27AM No hang on, we got a shot from behind... nice.

10:27AM Well it is incredibly light and thin. Really quite impressive.

10:29AM "We've added a new chip from NVIDIA -- the
9600M GT, 32 graphics cores, we're including both the 9400 as
integrated graphics, or choose the 9600M for big graphic performance. 5
hours of batter on the 9400, 4 on the 9600."

10:30AM "Slot load super drive,
magsafe connector, Ethernet, firewire 800, dual USB, mini display port,
we're going to that on all our products, expresscard 34, and the
battery indicator is now on the side."

10:30AM "So let's get back to this
mini display port -- we can drive any display we could before, but at a
fraction of the size -- we're building this into everything we make.
This will also be the first MBP that we offer SSD on, and you can
access the drives from underneath the battery." Nice! That's a nice
touch.

10:32AM "And of course, 802.11n,
Bluetooth... .95 inches, our thinnest MBP ever. It's going to come in
two models. The first, $1999, 15.4 inch display, 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo, 2GB
of DDR3 RAM, NVIDIA 9400 and 9600. We have a second config at $2499,
you get a faster CPU with double cache, 4GB RAM, double graphics
memory, 320GB hard drive."

10:32AM "And these MacBook Pros are shipping today, in stores tomorrow."
