Apple Posts WWDC 2009 Keynote Address Quicktime Stream

Quicktime X replaces Flash player plug in ?

As they mentioned that HTTP stream for both iPhone 3.0 and Snow Leopard, does that mean Apple finally release their own standard or open standard for the stream video online? :rolleyes:


If this is true, I'll be sooo happy that I can keep my Macbook pro cooler than using crapy adobe flash player for watching YouTube video. :D


Go Apple Go :apple:

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.

well obviously your not a expert in sales etc Since the iPhone and the app store are the two hottest things apple has right now and its bringing in huge money for apple so obviously apple is going to be making the iPhone the main focus for a while, i mean look at apples stock since macworld 07 and now the fact that its that high is due to the iphone as well.
 
3 tips for Phil

Phil, I have three tips for you for your next conference:

1) Can you find a shirt to tuck in? You look like a slob.
2) Using your mouse pointer does not require a full arm movement when you click.
3) Can you stop saying "it's incredible" before it becomes the new geek drinking game!
 
Why did people laugh when Scott Forstall said Safari? Also, iPhone 2.0 always had Korean language support and I think even 1.0 also. Why did they say it was a new feature?

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.

They didn't mention it because it's not happening. Your only option is to go with another brand of notebook or pay Apple a $50 premium on the 17'' MBP for a matte screen.
 
Still no direct-download?

I really want to grab this before I go home so I can chill out and watch it. No intarwebz at Casa Chundles.
 
Beforehand I expected quite a lot from the keynote.. but it sure was right disappointing.

Wanted to upgrade my Macbook Pro: but still no blu-ray drive? $1000+ for 4GB of Ram? Internal battery? Quite disappointing. Wanted to upgrade badly... but somehow it looks like I will have to search for an alternative.

The iPhone's a joke too... I thought they would actually bring something, that would/could be much more competitive.

From the keynote: actually quite boring. Its not Apple's style that demo's fail to work, and that more than once. Also: No goodie at all.. I think they should have atleast aimed to release some software update for the keynote.. either the iPhone OS 3.0 or Snow Leopard.
 
What's been interesting is tracking blogger sentiment on the WWDC keynote, which has definitely been mixed, underscoring a core part of my analysis on the event; namely that Apple has so totally treated us to wizardry and wow over the years that when they merely execute, it's a disappointment (to some), something that I blogged about in:

Wow! that worked like a charm! Started very quickly and the quality is better too.!! Thanks!!! :)

PS: Anyone know what is the best way to save it so I can watch it with my wife on my Apple TV on my big screen?

Ages ago there were some posts where people would somehow find the links to the original files on Apple's servers. I haven't seen that in a while.

The alternative is to do a screen capture. You play the movie on your computer and use something like SnapZ Pro to record that part of the screen and the sound. Works OK but it's tedious. The file size is large. Looks a little more compressed since it has been compressed twice.

Since this is more than two hours it would probably be smart to record the screen in three or four sections to keep the individual file sizes down.
 
...yawn. QQ MUCH?? :rolleyes:

I disagree. They spent a lot of time on the Mac. You also have to remember that they are trying to build up a mobile platform that is only 3 years old and an app store that is one year old. The only thing I was dissapointed was in no Marble and no matte iPhone with front facing camera.

I think that the Mac part of the keynote was the most interesting part. Well that and Apple execs making jokes at the expense of AT&T. :D

Patiently waiting for Podcast.

Very solid announcements, glad to see iPhone 3.0 coming out next week and not next month. Snow Leopard looks a lot more interesting than I'd previously thought and the updates to the laptops (especially the monster price drops here in Aus) are stellar.

The updates to Exposé in Snow Leopard (click on the dock icon and hold) as well as the 512x512 pixels are certainly turning it into something you could easily port to a large touch-screen device...

Something big is in the wind.

A man from the gong!! I know the gong!!!
 
Any links for a direct DL? Keynote podcast still hasn't been updated, other than that I can only see the stream.

They laughed because people knew he left out the fact that AT&T was ready for supporting tethering in the US. Quite frankly it IS laughable, i have a feeling Apple will drop AT&T as soon as the contract is up.

so what do you think now for people who recenly got macbook pros 2 weeks ago. what do we do

Buy something for the ExpressCard slot. ;)

butterfly0fdoom said:
It's typical practice for all carriers that you don't get a subsized new phone until 18 months after your contract began. Don't believe me? You can go read the fine print for every other carrier in the US. Oligopolies are fun, aren't they?

If you purchase something on credit, you have to pay all installments. It's a simple as that. Calling it a "subsidy" and hiding the installments in the service plan does not change that basic financial truth.

Based on the prices you have to pay in countries where it is available without a 24 month plan, you can estimate the actual price of the iPhone at around 700 to 800 USD. The fraction of the data plan that pays for the phone is about 20 to 25 USD/month.

I really wonder now about the low end MB - a single model is pretty unusual. I suspect a 10" brother sometime this year.

I do suspect a whole-new line of Atom-based MacBooks, MacMinis and Apple TVs to be released along with Snow Leopard

Chundles said:
Nope, I think it's about damned time. They're the most common format of media card used today and the ability to just plug the card in from your still or video camera and not have to worry about draining the camera's battery, using a precious, precious USB port or losing the cable from your camera is awesome.

Well, a USB port is still more versatile than an SD card reader. So it might have been better to use the same space for an additional USB port.

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.

Maybe they even work for the same company… wait!

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.

You can still buy the old model, you know.
 
"Apple needs to change their name to Apple iPhone – because that’s all we hear anymore."

What? In the first 5 minutes they had announced the new MacBook Pro... They saved the iphone for last.
 
Don't tell me that they have upgraded the iPhone so much, and yet failed to give its users the long-awaited iCal tasks (To do's) Leopard sync function. And no Bluetooth sync either…
