I think this is the end of .Mac as we know it...

As long as it updates for current users i will be happy. (of course they would)
I just renewed mine. But if its a 30 day return…i could get it.
 
Hackensack representing! (love the 1/9 ;-) )

If they want iDisk to be the center of the universe, then they better make sure it runs a wee bit faster than it does now.. 30 minutes for a 5mb file is just too much fun for one man to have.

I'm thinking Apple's iWeb will be similarly done as CSSEdit by Macrabbit. It will be a completely drag-n-drop GUI for webpages, including all the CSS/XHTML blah blah blah that modern websites use. The websites will be coded nicely, just like RapidWeaver makes their's, for example. But, the way iWeb will be like CSSEdit, is that it will be able to do webpage editing from the GUI or from manual coding- and the app will recognize and dynamically update from anything you manually type in. This is just how CSSEdit works- you can either edit CSS from the GUI mode, or switch it to source code mode and you can do everything yourself, and it recognizes everything immediately.

Apple's probably going to push .Mac very much now, and eventually leading up to that iDisk-centered media distribution system. The rumors we've seen in the past weeks may not ALL happen at MWSF- some may even happen next year (the crazy ones)! But, because they came, they will most likely come true sooner or later.

Oh, and dont' forget that 1 minute delay everytime you want to open an Open/Save As dialog when the iDisk is enabled.

Here's how Apple deals with bugs/problems in their software
They create new features so that you'll forget about the old bugs :eek: :D

If it's announced at the expo, usually how long is it before you can purchase it?

It'll be up for pre-order as soon as the Apple Store comes back nline after the keynote (maybe 10 or 20 minutes). It'll probably ship in the week after the expo.

That and the fact that you can't see the URL. Of all things web pages would be the easiest to fake and really get those macheads buzzing.:rolleyes: I don't know, just something that crossed my mind.

It was on a windows machine because I was at work when I took the screenshot. I cut off the URL because in between the URL and the webpage were all the tabs I had open which had information I didn't care to make public. My track record is good enough on MR that people trust me. And if they don't. meh. :p

I have followed the link the link that you provided and I have seen for my self, so yea, your cool :D
I guess some people have to see it for them self,.................... like me :p

I don't know why, but I found that really funny. :D I can see it now...

Your webpages suck. iWeb will help them suck less. (TM)

As an amateur whose webpages do suck (I admit it), I would buy iWeb if that were the tagline, and I bet I'm not alone. I'm finally starting to get my footing in Dreamweaver, but I'm sure Apple could come up with something that's less powerful but less complicated and more elegant: "web design for the rest of us"
That would be absolutely awesome. Especially as a super stupid person that's trying to learn to make websites by just writing my own code. :p

He was talkin' plain vanilla AAC, not DRM-flavored.
Nope. As long as the computer is authorized, QT7 will play DRM'ed .m4p files just as iTunes does. Worked with QT6 and iT4.x as well. Both Macs and PCs.

Nice excuse, but com'on, you can't fool some of us. The fact you're using a PC web browser suggests you're one of those PC fanboys out to make us Mac users go into a tizzy just by releasing very scant information on upcoming new products from Apple. Nice evil ploy but I can see right through you.

We Mac users might be lemmings, but we not stupid idiots!

p.s. URLs can be faked, too. I guess we believes you because you is a cute and playful panda! :p

God, I hope Steve Jobs doesn't demonstrate iWeb the way he did with iTools. BORING! Perchance, what could it be? Perhaps a new Apple-designed blogging tool for .Mac users?

That would be awesome! I real value-add for .Mac subs (which don't seem to be exactly flying off the shelves) and I've been wanting to start a blog on my .Mac account but have been having a hard time finding programs that support WebDAV (or are cross platform). Something that can be accessed from the web (and doesn't require a special Mac-only program like iCal does) would be nice.

Well I wasn't going to reveal it... but I also got this screen shot. Unfortunately I was at day care and all I had was an etch-a-sketch. But... I have a track record. and stuff.

(which now makes everybody reconsider the validity of the first screenshot even though I am now obviously joking)

Finally! That'll work great with the iPB&J.

PS - Good use of white text.

Recently Purchased Macs

Every time Apple releases a new iLife or OS they always allow purchasers of recently bought systems to qualify for a free upgrade (one of the few consumer friendly practices at Apple) and I remember it is always a pretty miserly time-frame.

Does anyone remember what that time frame is?
 
Thanks

Hey, sorry about that, actually the google link in the end convinced me. That would be pretty hard to fake a google cache.

Wow, how did you get Safari to run under Windows?
 
The remark about adding video to Garageband rather clearly suggests that you can *not* add video to Garageband!

No, it does not. It just suggests the video format is not right.
 
That iTunes 4.9 reference... fishy, that's fishy...

I'm disinclined to get my hopes up... errrrrrr........ iLife '06, yes. iWeb? Hrrmmmph...

Especially with the way that iCards was NOT working correctly that day. The other slow point was iReview :( .Good thing is, OS X's Aqua interface was unveiled that day, and made up for the floppy demo! :D

SiliconAddict said:
They should just call it iWant.

iWeb could be anything from a webpage designer to some cool online sharing utility. Hmmm could Apple be rolling out a P2P app?!?! Naa.

That would be awesome, but like you, I highly doubt it :( .

I smell a rat here and/or it's not what people are thinking. The web pages mentioned "with iTunes 4.9 bringing podcasting..." Ummm... 4.9? That was a year and a half ago?

This page may actually be just one giant screw up and not anything at all to get worked up about... certainly not a confirmation of anything.

I spotted that too, but also think to myself, "Why would they stop making iLife (or something like it) in 2006, when it was a popular application package "?

Anyway
When I checked out the cached google page, I noticed that previously mentioned link that specifies "Can't open movie Error when Adding Video to Garageband" takes you to a page for garageband, but for a completely different issue? :confused:

I have added a screen shot to show that link.
