iLife'06 CONFIRMED!

I hope iLife '06 will be good because I would not doubt it will be the last version to run on PPC processors. Apple will force us to upgrade hardware by quickly cancelling PPC versions of both iLife and MacOSX. I would not doubt that by 10.6 MacOSX will be Intel only. They will just say...well we needed more power to make it run.
 
Best time of the year....

The final week before a MWSF, or WWDC.

Especially if some of these "leaks", "f-ups", "typos" etc. start circling around!

The HUGE G5 spec-leak on the G4 page is my all-time favourite. What discussions that generated!
MacRumors.com must have gained many, many more members then!

:cool:

(I love this place)
 
Anyone remember that 10.4 betas showed a feature (in Network Sys Prefs, I believe) to map your machine to a username.mac.com style domain name? So you could run a web server on your machine and expose it through .mac.

The Appleinsider article mentions something similar.

It still says 4.9 on their production server. Don't forget how quickly iTunes went from 5 to 6.

Thank you, I see you're right. There go all my theories... :eek: It is surprising though since Apple seems to be pretty good at keeping their site updated. Hopefully they'll (finally) update the iTunes version number on this page once iLife '06 is released! :D

So to me it seems more likely then that this iWeb thing is coming. iLife '06 was pretty much expected, but it doesn't sound like people knew about iWeb apart from old rumblings here and there.
 
Apple insider are reporting about .Mac upgrades - i.e., mysql, php and a drop in price - to combat web hosting companies.

Sorry if some one has said this before.
 
they do this just to taunt is, i rekon. they put something like this up and wait, refreshing the macrumors homepage feverently until the first mention occurs, then pulls the page again, just to keep everyone psyched about the keynote, AS IF WE WEREN'T ALREADY!

:rolleyes:

No it hasn't, thanks for the hint.


Edit: Wow if that is true... $69 and PHP and SQL... they gain a huge amount of new subscriptions if this is true.
 
MWSF:

Steve comes out, the word "Transitions" come up on the screen, he tells everyone that he has been keynoting on a G6 PowerPC all morning, then, he leaves.

"We're sorry, Apple Discussions are temporarily unavailable. We're busy firing the HELL out of someone for posting mention of iWeb before its time. Oh hell! Now I did it too! Stay tuned for a link to my resume!"

Anyway, iWeb sounds a might bit interesting. Lets hope its more than some .Mac attachment.

XDDDDDDDD This is the best slip-up I've ever seen....well, I haven't seen many!!:rolleyes:

Actually I'm guessing the word "iPod" will come up and he'll say that he's been wearing an iPod inviso on his head all day. Then he'll show us what the video looks like on the big screen and talk about how awesome the resolution is. Then "one more thing: that iNviso also runs OS X Leopard running on a Pentium 5 and is available in the stores right now."

End of show.

EDIT: I'd buy one.

Yeah tell me about it. Apple: "We're competing with Google." Google: "Oh that Google Earth for the Mac we were working on? Yeah, sorry we lost that. Oh and google.com is no longer compatible with Safari... yeah sorry about that."

Hahaha, Yeah. Google is my life. Well, not quite. :eek: :) But if that amazingly unlikely scenario happened at any point in the future (assuming, of course, Firefox, my main browser of choice, was not still working for Google on Mac) I might just have to get a new PC for Google. :D Nah.:cool:

I guess no one will be surprised when SJ announces iLife 06 next Tuesday. However, it's un-Apple-like to confirm an announced product like that.:)

If it was anyone BUT Apple I would say it was a planned leak. Then again, this did happen when Garage Band came out, according to Apple Insider.

At any rate, it's good publicity for something that's not really much of a surprise.
 
If you couple this with the 1 TB of badnwidth on .Mac accounts, I would think it's another way of distributing your content - upload all your home movies, slideshows, iTunes playlists, etc. to .Mac and all your friends and family can access them. Or store videos and television shows purchased from iTMS online and stream them to any authorized computer... just a thought.

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.

Plus, if .mac is going to integrate purchase of domain names, I would be more likely to use it to brand my own web site than have a .mac/whatever domain. Basically, it would be true web hosting but better because it's got iLife under the hood.
 
Was anyone else suprised/amused to see a screenshot from a Windows machine here?
 
Yes it is the time honored tradition of figuring out everything that will be in next Tuesdays Keynote, It's just starting to reach a boil. By the end of the weekend it will be at a fever pitch.

By Monday night insanity will rule. On Tuesday, nothing could ever live up to the hysterical predictions and the bitching will begin. Thus starting the eternal Macworld cycle anew.

:D
