iLife'06 CONFIRMED!

[MarcelV]

I can't see something from iLife being tied to a .Mac account...

Uhh, at least iPhoto has ties into .mac. And I believe, just out of my head (because I am at work), iMovies does too. So, why wouldn't it be.
Building a homepage thru .mac is not really flexible. A more flexible tool that publishes your blog, iPhoto lib and iMovie folder onto .mac would be great for a bunch of us. And if we even can put our podcast on there, with a tie into iTMS so others can easily link to it (remeber the 1TB download capacity that leaked earlier this week?) that would be great for a lot of people. And I am sure not everyone that bought iLife05 uses Garageband either. Same for iWeb.

Sorry for being a bit dim, but I didn't actually know that. What other products were leaked like that? Seriously, I'm not joking! I thought this was a first!

Well they leaked the specs for the first PowerMac G5 for one. You might enjoy some of the other leaks that have occurred over the years: http://guides.macrumors.com/Gallery_of_Apple_Leaks_and_Prototypes

I suspect that was more of a f?c?up than a leak.

Pages to HTML, WYSIWYG

Wouldn't it be cool if Pages export to HTML worked better? Wouldn't it be cooler if Apple, the home of WYSIWYG made Pages export to HTML perfectly? And import prefectly, exactly, WYSIWYG (in Safari at least), orthogonally? And if it coulf FTP that to sync between your working copy and the copy on a .mac website?

Orthogonally?

 

[Disturbed]

Ever think that iWeb is a new name for .Mac? Perhaps they are opening up the platform for Windows users in another attempt to woo them to the Mac platform.

Just a thought...

In this context, by definition, every f?c?up is a leak. Not every leak, however, is a f?c?p.

Not really. SoundJam had features iTunes does not have (eg., resume playing on a long playlist sorted by names).

This is true, but Apple hired all three programmers for iTunes, which is what I was getting at.

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....

That's a good one. You know, the WebKit in OSX lets you edit the pages as well as render them, what we need is a nice app that takes advantage of this, and that might be what we are seeing.

Doesn't matter if it was intentional or not - It's still a leak. It's still exactly the same kind of mistake Apple have made today.

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...)

If you open a document in Text Edit, choose save as and export to HTML format the source code contains:

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

I got that tip from a quick search in google, and I can see plenty of other pages containing Cocoa HTML Writer.

Why would it say iTunes 4.9? Is it possible Apple's server was hacked and some idiot (either internal or external to Apple) put this up as some kind of joke?

I guess another possibility is that iWeb was planned for release earlier (back when iTunes 4.9 was still current), shelved (along with this web page), and they were in the process of updating the old page for the imminent release of iWeb. Would that make sense?

In any case, I agree with a couple others that iWeb is uninspired as a name, but it will (assuming it is actually coming) be easier to remember. I'm interested to see what it will be exactly.

Since Apple's apparently still in i-app mode, I'd like to propose a simple new application called "ii". ii automatically creates names for new i-apps. Type in a description and ii will come up with no fewer than 10 propositions, with rankings in terms of memorability, appropriateness, coolness factor, etc.

Type in wysiwyg editor, html, webpage, internet and ii will give you results like these:

iWeb
iPage
iHTML
iWYSIWYG
iNet
iWWW

etc.

Alright. I'll let it slide... this time.

 

[cycocelica]

Could iWeb be Apple's answer to RapidWeaver?

iLife '06 was expected though

 

[puckhead193]

i hope this iweb thing is way to make more advance versions of web pages through .mac. Like placing a text box here..... and making it more personal with fonts and colors.....

 

[dernhelm]

I'm that iWeb is something more 'dynamic' capable than Pages. Most AJAX tools have a long way to go before being really usable. An Apple written AJAX front-end would really kick! But I'm sure this is all just wishful thinking.

 

[joemama]

Ugh.. but do we really want them to be able to create websites?

(I KEED, I KEED! I'm one of them.)

I've said it for years while my students used AppleWorks. There needs to be an EASY way for kids to learn HTML - and I am not talkign about saving out as HTML. Even something like an advanced FrontPage.

Schools would EAT THIS UP!!!!!!

 

[GregA2]

i hope iweb inclues better intergration to the logic board so we can hot wire the crap out of isights so we can check out what the wind velocity is like on mars or better yet uranus.

I'm not sure about that one... The wind from Uranus smells really bad.

Yeah, its getting a bit that way...

 

[Laser47]

iWeb? Maybe apples version of frontpage? But then wouldint it be coupled with iwork? Maybe iWeb is apples now ISP?
Man, I cant wait until MWSF

Everyone get your countdown widgets ready!

Well, assuming the WebPages thing they describe is from good sources, I guess that pretty much confirms we're looking at a web page builder based upon/inspired by/etc Pages.

That's interesting. Ok, until I see it I'll hold off on the jokes about the 1990s... ;-) A good webside editor/manager might be a useful thing, assuming it doesn't generate HTML that looks like crap and renders with less grace than Slashdot.
