Thoughts on MacWorld San Francisco

Thoughts on MacWorld San Francisco 01/07/2004 04:41 PM

I must admit I wasn't expecting anything earth-shattering from Steve Jobs yesterday and for the most part I wasn't disappointed. While unveiling some pretty cool toys, both hardware and software, he failed to deliver anything that on it's surface will immediately sway a consumer to purchase a Mac over a PC.

I say 'on it's surface' because Garage Band may become another one of those things that people fall in love with. The fact that he added it to the $49 iLife package is amazing. Face it, human beings love to create things and that includes music. Today's musical offerings are pretty bland so creating your own might be a good alternative. Garage Band now puts professional level music composition in the hands of the average consumer. A demo I saw last night showed a $99 keyboard hooked up to it and it sounded exactly like a grand piano. Not that cheesy midi sound you'd expect. Pretty impressive.

Other announcements included improvements to iPhoto, iMovie and iDVD as well as new iPod Minis. The knock against the new smaller iPods will be that for the capacity they aren't much cheaper than a slightly larger iPod. Keep in mind you are not paying for capacity, but rather the physical size of the unit. It's the size of a business card. It's the same reason Sony is able sell those tiny Vaios. People want smaller rather than bigger. It's not the $100 iPod everybody was hoping for, but they do come in five fashionable colors. Give him credit, Steve Jobs knows how to sell to your vanity.

The one thing that caught my eye yesterday was not mentioned at MacWorld. iTunes Music Store added lists of Billboards Top 100 songs for every year going back to 1946. While the lists are not complete they are fairly comprehensive. I must admit the fuel behind my Napster addiction a couple of years ago was how easy it was to find music I remembered from high school and college. I was never terribly interested in finding new albums on Napster or Kazaa because the vast majority of new music is rather unappealing. This is the kind of small enhancement that I think will keep Apple and iTMS ahead of Walmart and Napster in the online music biz.

All in all, not a bad day for Apple. Since these announcements focused primarily on software I'd expect some new hardware sometime this summer. Possibly G5 Powerbooks or 3Ghz Power Macs. It's the 20th anniversary of the Macintosh this year so I have no doubt that Jobs has something good in the pipeline.

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 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.
