Apple Posts WWDC 2009 Keynote Address Quicktime Stream

Does anyone think Phil Schiller has lost some weight?

You know what, I just watched it and when he walked on stage I thought, 'has he lost weight?'

I think this is one of Apples better keynotes in a while. A host of new products, and although some of the price gets lost in translation, they have a solid product pipeline.
 
Why can't I watch it, I just downloaded quicktime but yet it won't play for me on the apple site..

Was anyone else disappointed by the speech itself? I mean a lot of it was about Snow leopard and Iphone os3 which have already been covered before. Anyone else notice the speakers had some of the same speech mannerisms as Steve? Guess they have the same coaches.

They went to good schools and were taught to present in a very traditional way. :D Take public speaking at any accredited business school and that's what they will teach you.:apple::apple::apple:
 
I smell Apple wanting to drop ATT any day now... ;)

I am SO EXCITED for Snow Leopard and I kinda want an iPhone too.
 
CPU specs

So, is it the much talked about 600MHz ARM Cortex used in Palm Pre?
I am surprised there was no word on the CPU upgrade.

I don't believe they've ever officially talked about what is specifically in the phone. We only learn when someone tears one apart. So we'll find out on the 19th.

So now that the iphone supports third party hardware, can somebody just make a front facing camera that plugs into the dock connector? Could an app be written that would work with it to link with iChat?
 
I'm quoting this again since people have skipped over it. Here is your solution guys.

Try this.

Go to System Preferences > Quicktime > Advanced > MIME Settings...

Select "Custom..." in the transport menu. Switch the transport protocol from UDP to HTTP. (No idea why Apple buried this options so far down where nobody can find it.)

And as a network admin, I'll assume you won't need an explanation as to why that works. :D

Nothing really earth shattering....for me, the best of the lot is the Snow Leopard OS....the Macbook refresh gave in to the clamor of the folks who needs firewire...no sweat off MY back since I don't use it at all. the SD slot you can certianly find 3rd party USB port plugs for that...for the Iphone...just improvements also.

Now if there was a tablet...THAT would be earth shattering...
 
Always so much negativity after a keynote...

My thoughts: one of the best keynotes we've had in a while.

Laptops: great new pricepoints, better batteries. Who can complain? The laptops didn't even need upgrading.

SL: $30? Who ever thought this would happen. It looks fantastic. September is kinda annoying, though.

iPhone: 3.0 coming next week. Perfect! Can't wait. 3GS - not worthy of an upgrade from 3G (Even though I would love to -- I love speed!). But the 3Gs is an excellent choice for a new iPhone buyer.

Find my iPhone thru MobileMe is an incredible feature, too.

Overall, great news, nothing disappointing, except I want a 3GS, but don't want to pay for it :p

Re: The Keynote

There should be a split-screen with one camera aimed at the stage and the other camera aimed on the crowd to see the reactions.

That would never happen for negative reactions. Apple actually edits out bad portions of the Keynote when something minor goes wrong. I was at WWDC last year and the iPhone 3G commercial played incorrectly with bad audio and in the webcast, it was fine.
 
MacBook Pro

I was going to buy a MacBook Pro 15", but they dropped the express card slot I needed for my data card so I guess I will drop the MacBook.

Why do these Apple keynote streams never work on my MacBook? It just doesn't connect but I can go to my Windows PC and it works fine. I'm a network admin and have still never been able to figure this out.

This is my new favourite posting.. Thanks!!!

SD cards have become the norm for consumer and professional cameras. Just like firewire 400 lost out to usb2 (in consumer areas), Apple will follow the direction of their consumers, while also steering the industry in new technologies (wireless-n). They must feel that more consumers would use an SD slot than, say an express slot (1% of users used it was what Phil said in the keynote).

i agree, but it seems odd to have it now....i always connected my camera via usb so i never really had the need for a card reader save for putting pics of my kiddo on it to put the card in a digital frame......it just seemed odd. I'm certainly not complaining, but the trend for Apple isn't media......i'm betting in the next 5 years the optical drive will be gone......but what do i know


go pats!
 
Apple needs to change their name to Apple iPhone – because that’s all we hear anymore. Granted the 13” MacBook got a little bump and of course we heard more promises about Snow Leopard, but what was the main focus? What seems to always be the main focus? The iPhone blah blah blah.
I’m so sick of the iPhone.
No, I’m not saying that other cell phones are better – truthfully, I really don’t care. I don’t own an iPhone and I don’t want one. I hate cell phones in general. AND I really wouldn’t care so much about the iPhone if Apple could focus on more than one or two projects at a time!
They need to come out with Snow Leopard already. And they really need to come out with a tablet/netbook thing – their customers have been asking for this for YEARS now and it’s beginning to piss me off that they keep ignoring us. I hope another company like Dell or Lenovo beats them to market with such a device.
I’m a fan of the OS and I like my MacBook but Apple as a company is on thin ice with me.

This is the core of the issue. It's a good upgrade but not worth so much to all people. I'd like to be able to upgrade but can't until March. To me the upgrade would be worth $200 but not $400. So I'll just wait for the next phone if it comes to that. I'll live.

Overall with the iPhone 3G now starting at $99 and Snow Leopard $29 as well as the Macbook Pro price cuts it is amazing that people are still talking about the "Apple Tax" (CNet is calling the $200 price difference for 3G owners to upgrade to the 3G an "Apple Tax" even though it is a product of the carriers, not Apple).
 
Screens

Did Apple discuss changing the the glossy screen to a flat screen at WWDC. I am a photographer and I hate the glossy screens. To many reflections to deal with. I would like to see an update to the 30 inch screen too.

Actually he stumbled across what he said. I interpreted it to mean single digit (<10%), not single percent.

Funny, I use the express slot all the time. For a SD card reader!

WOW, you are really funny man:D:p


Now, you get SD slot finally ! :eek:
