iLife'06 CONFIRMED!

Or, and I hope this is true, this may be a new name for .Mac, and it comes with iLife. Seeing as most people buy iLife every year, it is like a subscription. I've started up an iChat chat called macrumors

lets have a live chat!
 
iWeb != Apple's FrontPage

I don't think iWeb is a web site publisher like Microsoft's FrontPage and Adobe's DreamWeaver. I could be wrong, of course, but the functionality should be included with iWork (perhaps integrated into Pages). I think iWeb will be geared toward publishing works from GarageBand, iMovie, and iPhoto (and possibly Keynotes and Pages) on websites.

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?

I can't see something from iLife being tied to a .Mac account... Unless iLife now includes a one-year .Mac account too without making iLife more expensive.

We're starting to have too many monthly fees if you ask me.

If we are going to see a demo of iWeb next Tuesday, let's hope Steve doesn't overdemonstrate it as he did for that weather widget, where he couldn't resist showing us every single cool graphic it had to offer.

Well, Steve has done a lot of LSD, which gives you greater leeway to obsess on really small details and find them fascinating, awe-inspiring and universally revealing. But, yes, that was a number of minutes in my life I want back.:D
 
So it's iPhoto 6, iMovie 6, iDVD 6, iWeb, iTunes 6 and GarageBand 3. I can imagine it now. "GarageBand 3, and yes it does video!" :p
 
iWeb is not very original, other 'i' apps have more original names

iTunes not iMusic
iLife no iApps
iWork not iOffice
iPod not iPortable

iWeb is too obvious
 
Who's to say this was even a slip up. Steve may have had this done on purpose. He could be just sitting there watching all the rumor sites go nuts over this.
 
Cooco HTML Creator?

If you go here:

http://www.apple.com/support/garageband/podcasts/recording.html

Look at the source code and it says:

meta name="Generator" content="Cocoa HTML Writer"
meta name="CocoaVersion" content="824.23"

This is not on any other apple.com page I can find... and I have never heard of a Cocoa HTML Writer....

EDIT: a search on Google for Cocoa HTML Writer brings up nothing in that word order (7 pages but none of them have the words together...)

According to Mike Evangelist's article - Jobs doesn't have any free time in the weeks leading up to the keynote. Perhaps a disgruntled employee? Are there such things as disgruntled Apple employees?
 
here's food for thought..... iTunes has more then just Music (or tunes) Video, Podcasts, TV, etc.

Is it just me, or does iTunes seem like a improper name now?

I think you have that backwards... Watson was made by a 3rd party developer and was out probably a year or two before Apple released Sherlock.
Click to expand...

No, think about it. Who would name a product "Watson" as opposed to Sherlock if it came out first. Sherlock was originally a search app that used multiple search engines and other resources and was extendable through new plugins. Watson was created by a third party developer to be a compliment and sidekick to Sherlock. It mainly focused on more personal, non-research tasks like telephone searching, movie tickets, flights and telephone numbers, etc. Apple then seemingly reinvented Sherlock in a manner that resembled Watson as much visually as functionally, saying it was always the intended purpose of Sherlock to be the end-all of every web searching task.

It does seem like it needs a name that's more inclusive of the new all-encompassing media functionality, but I think iOmega is sorta already taken.
 
I don't think anyone will be getting fired, lots of Mac Fans will get fired up is all.
Bits of info show up "accidentally" on Apple's site every time an anouncement will be made; these "teasers" seem to have become part of their marketing...
:p
 
If apple plans on REALLY pushing Podcasting with GarageBand... I think NOW would be a time to release Asteroid.

Now is perfect timing. Let's face it, anyone here try to record with a bulit in mic jack... it sucks. The quality really isn't that good for recording.

So, let's say apple pushes Pod Recording... allot of people have better mics
(with XLR) or would like higher quality recording, instead of a 1/8 Jack.

Food for thought.

.mac express

Maybe this wouldn't be so hard to believe if they made .mac free again. They certainly can afford it now, and it would make the idea of rumored .mac movie/media streaming more feasible. Maybe a free .mac express account with stripped down features and a lower bandwidth (no Backup, etc.). They have .mac so integrated into Tiger that it would make sense to let everyone at least try out those syncing features for free and be able to use iWebs' site creation and blogging tools with it. Then they could get rid of the flimsy web-based homepage and iPhoto upload .mac stuff. Just a guess.
 
iWeb is coming, but this slip-up is designed to make us look the other way or create a bit of buzz about Apple while their competitors get all the attention at CES.
 
what about iPhoto? it can publish anywhere....

iPhoto can publish to .Mac with a few clicks, or generate all the code and put it, for example, in a folder on the desktop.

*if* Apple was going to make a web authoring app i would assume it would pull output from different iApps.... like iPhoto, i movie, garage band? remember for 10.2 .Mac people got a free download of iBlog. maybe a lot of .Mac people want something like that back? it would be easy to take current Apple apps and gather output for a web page and dump it in a "sites" directory, or build in a FTP app..... or the even easier .Mac publishing if you subscribe.

wasn't there supposed to be a lot of .Mac upgrades in the 10.4 era? and by that i meant features or enhanced options in iApps and not just more storage or free downloads. i would not be surprised if the iWhatever just worked easier with .Mac.

it's pretty reasonable to expect iLife06 in a week or soon after. there has to be some additions or improvements to make people want to upgrade.
 
I've noticed in other forums on the web that many .Mac users are not happy with the lack of updates to features. Apple seems to have been ignoring the service for awhile now. We are probably going to see a big revamp of .Mac next Tuesday. iWeb would indicate that this is true as well as the apparent ability to add video to the next version of Garageband. I'm thinking that iWeb will include tools for Podcasting and .Mac will be updated with more storage to handle all of the people who will rush out to buy the new software.
