Macworld 2004 Keynote recap 01/06/2004 02:32 PM

Here's my recap of Steve Jobs' two hour Macworld keynote. The big announcements were new XServe & XServe RAID products, the long-rumored mini iPod, and lots of new software, but no new desktop or laptop systems.

Macworld keynote stuff


Macworld keynote stuff 02/01/2005 08:54 PM
My thoughts about Macworld keynote stuff...

I’m at home working, not at the show, and I haven’t seen the keynote yet, just read the news. But I have a few thoughts so far:

1. The headless Mac is cool. Period. I want five. I won’t even turn them on, I just want them.

It’s crazy to me how Apple hardware can provoke such desire, but it does.

2. I don’t know if the iPod shuffle is cool. It’s not for me—but it doesn’t need me to buy one in order to sell a few million of them.

Which proves that not every Apple product provokes desire in the heart of every Mac geek. (By the way, I do have an iPod already, if that explains it.)

3. iWork is an odd duck.

I so wanted a great—or even good—word processor and spreadsheet to replace AppleWorks.

I don’t use Microsoft Office, and the open-source office products are, so far at least, still using non-native UI stuff. (They look and feel annoyingly weird. To me. But this will change. Eventually. I hope.)

Dori Smith says that Page s is not a word processor, it’s entry-level page layout software. From what I’ve seen so far I agree. Think PageMaker, not Word.

So: no word processor, no spreadsheet.

But—you know what?—I bet somebody out there makes good word processors and spreadsheets for OS X. It’s just a matter of finding ones I like. (Any recommendations?)

4. Tiger, iLife, etc.—yes, all cool, I’m a happy Mac user.

watching job's macworld keynote


watching job's macworld keynote 01/06/2004 02:22 PM

And on the 20th anniversary of the launch of the Mac no less...

First, It is amazing that an audience can clap, hoot and make lots of noise over someone saying "We've added a G5 to our XServe line" and things of that nature. It is kind of surreal.

Aside from XServe upgrades and such and the new versions of iLife apps (iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD), Jobs announced GarageBand, software for making music, and what I can say is: WOW. Great synthethized instruments. Loops. Effects. Amps (!). Great Quality. Jobs' demo of this product was really, really impressive. It's not as if I can compare this to more professional tools that are out there, since I'm not aware of what the market is like (I just remember playing with CakeWalk on the PC a while ago, but it was crap compared to this), but since this is included in a $49 package, or free with new Macs, it seems to me that it's a big deal. Or at a minimum, another reason to lust after a Mac. :)

BTW, the "iLife ad" they showed after the demo was terrible, especially compared to the live demo, even more considering that many of the lines that the people in the video say had been used verbatim by Jobs before, which takes away a lot of the enjoyment of the keynote (What? You mean that the keynote was scripted?!? -- you're reminded of what you already knew but Jobs had made you forget). Ditch the pathetic ads apple, Jobs on a stage is enough. :)

Finally, the "iPod mini" (and it comes in colors!). 4 GB of memory (!!!). This is clearly not using Flash, but a microdrive, although Jobs didn't mention it, I'm sure that is the case. Very cool and not that expensive ($249) compared to flash players, after which they are going. However, the high-end flash players now are about one quarter of the size of the mini and no doubt 1/4 of weight too, and you can get around 512 MB for reasonable prices. So, I still prefer flash players but the iPod mini will probably be a good choice for many people.

Cool stuff.

To take full advantage of this coverage, download an IRC client (we are recommending Conversation) and log on to irc.slashnet.org and join the channel #mercworld (a moderated channel where you can watch the announcements from our reporters) and #macmerc (an unmoderated channel where you can discuss the announcements with the other Mac fans. Any questions? Our coverage of the Expo won't end when the keynote is over. No, we have many other surprises in store for you. So get yourself set up to chat, and keep an eye on MacMerc.com for all the MacWorld Expo excitement.

  • Tiger
    • Dev watch: Core Image, Core Video crunch numbers with the GPU instead of the CPU.
    • Safari will have new features, including RSS, Jobs must not know about NetNewsWire.
    • MPEG h264 (not a shocker)
    • System Prefs now use Spotlight instead of top menu bar.
    • One of the best: better searching. Spotlight is iTunes like searching for the whole computer. Full indexes, even for PDFs. System wide, search from anywhere.
    • Over 150 new features
    • Fully 64-bit
  • Tiger will ship in first half of 2005
  • New 20" display in same design, $1,299.
  • New 30" display, biggest ever. 2560 x 1600. Same design as the other new displays today. FireWire and USB, 4 megapixels. Needs PowerMac, 2 DVI connections to run (card costs $600). $3,299.
  • New 23" display, all aluminum, like the ThinkSecret mock ups. ADC is gone from the displays.
  • The online Apple Store just went down--we have new stuff coming.
  • 3,500 developers at WWDC, 17% more than last year
