AppleInsider: Apple nixes third party Software Update plans. "In somewhat related news, an Apple source claims that Apple would love to include MSN Messenger support with iChat, but will not do so until Microsoft declares the MSN Messenger protocol an open standard." Hypocrites. AIM isn't open either, yet Apple is happy to sell their customers into IM identity serfdom.

RUMOR: Apple office software seems
likely

RUMOR: Apple office software seems
likely 01/05/2005 02:07 PM
A small Macintosh software developer has renamed an application it had been calling iWork, lending credence to rumors that Apple plans to introduce office software of the same name.

IGG Software, which has marketed a time-billing application as iWork, has changed the program's name to iBiz. The change, which is reflected on the company's Web site, follows reports on rumor sites that Apple plans to offer its own suite of word processing and presentation software.

Enthusiast site ThinkSecret reported last week that a product from Apple called iWork would include an updated version of Apple's presentation software, Keynote, and a new word processing program, which the site says will be called Pages. The site predicted Apple would unveil the product at next week's Macworld Expo in San Francisco. Such a program would be an interesting move for Apple, which has for years kept its office software ambitions limited, counting instead on Microsoft to produce a Mac version of Microsoft Office.

Rumor Today: AppleWorks X

Rumor Today: AppleWorks X 08/05/2004 06:05 PM
The source of the rumor? A listing for an upcoming book entitled "Ap pleWorks X for Mac OS X: A Visual Quickstart Guide."
I hope what this means is that Apple, in addition to Keynote, has now a word processing and a spreadsheet application. And AppleWorks X is a suite consisting of all these applications, plus, perhaps with a version of FileMaker Pro.
And, hopefully, like the current AppleWorks/ClarisWorks, the entire suite is also available for Windows.
