It is indeed included in the Mac version of Office. (In 2004, at least; I'm looking at it right now.) In Word, choose Insert > Object..., then choose Microsoft Equation.
Help is your friend. Entering "equation" into Help would have found you the answer instantly. 😉
PB G5's in time for the new intel chips. Black iPod shuffle. New mac mini. Everyone expected Jobs to keynote, but still good news.🙂

Well I guess 2.0 depends on availability of standards such as 802.11*n* and/or UltraWideBand, so Apple has to wait and see....
802.11n news:

UltraWideBand news:

Both technologies are embattled between industry groups, much like Blu-Ray vs HD-DVD.
I wonder how much earlier Apple could get this stuff to work earlier thanks to the collaboration with Intel and then flash/upgrade Airport Express 2.0 to the finalized standard(s) once it's approved later in 2006.

Once again, please, don't be that guy... 🙄
Screw G5 PowerBooks, at this point an Intel PowerBook is what we should really be looking forward to. Hell, a 7448 Freescale PowerBook would be better than a G5 PowerBook at this stage of things! 😱
I doubt we'll be seeing Intel PowerBooks at MWSF, as I think the iBook will probably get updated first - however that being said, if the iBooks have Yonahs in them and the PowerBooks don't, they'll need to be updated fairly soon afterwards themselves. What I'll really be waiting for though are the Merom PowerBooks in a year. 😎
I call:
iLife 06 (obviously) with super duper improved iPhoto (with some aperture features), usual updates to the rest
iWork (better pages and 1 or 2 more apps, say spreadsheet etc)
Also I reckon a simple website designer in one of the suites, possibly iLife since it would work well with iPhoto/garageband for podcasting maybe. Apple are keen to get people to do projects with their macs so this could easily fit in.
Intel mac mini
I reckon that they will wanna get lots of switchers with the first intel mac so a big consumer emphasis.
Also I call iWork being included (instead of appleworks) with at least the consumer macs when they go intel.
But I'm probably wrong

I think this makes sense as well. Whether it's via the Mini or the iBook though remains to be seen - perhaps both? 😱 😉 I think consumer emphasis is important though, hence why I think the iBook will go Intel before the PowerBook, even though that will somewhat tip the scales, what with updating the consumer machine before the Pro machine. But, perhaps this is the way of the future - Apple already did this by introducing new technologies into the iMac before the PowerMac received them a short time afterwards - precedence has already been set. 😎

INTEL Powerbooks a MONTH from TUESDAY!!😀

Where's the download link? 😉
Keynotes are free, yes, but only streaming. There's no download option.

Yeah this isn't a shocker at all, it would only be news if Steve wasn't doing the keynote. I bet it'll be something like this:
Talks about iPods and sales of the iMac
Updates iLife '06 and iWork
Talks about how FrontRow has changed the way people view media
Introduces either A) Mac Mini Intel with DVR or B) Add-on Remote for Front Row
Talks about intel, - introduces PowerBook 😀
I think maybe an iPod Camera attachment might come out, there was something about Apple updating a patent on their QuickTake cameras not too long ago - I can't stop thinking of it...so maybe something camera related? 🙄
Oh well, we'll just have to wait and see. It'll be fun looking back to see how many of us were right or wrong 😛

Get a copy of AppleWorks. It includes an equation editor. You can create the equations there and copy them to pages. Once there you can resize to fit. I do this a lot with Keynote, Nisus, etc.
With a little effort you can probably find a used copy somewhere for not too much.

Whoa... everyone seems pretty certain that some Intel Mac will arrive @ MWSF.
It still is way ahead of the initial ETA (around WWDC 2006, as many predicted following WWDC 2005 Keynote), and many developers will not be ready with their "transition".
So, if an Intel Mac will be released, it must be a consumer one, as these are less dependant of Pro-software which probably will not be x86 ready for some tine (Adobe's CS for instance).
Problem is, IMHO, that Apple's comsumer apps (iLife '06, iWork, Safari) will be the only apps which will scream on a new MacTel, as these are probably the only ones fully working on x86 (maybe some 3rd parties are ready, but not many).
Will that be enough for coming switchers?
Would you (as a PPC Mac software owner) buy one?
Ofcourse, us Mac-heads would buy one anyway (I would 😀 ), but it won't be my most productive machine.
What about games?
Don't get me wrong.... I would love to see a MacTel (it still is a bad name) @ MWSF. It would get the "wheels.... well, not in motion, but in warp drive" regarding the transition.
But, I just hope that the ignorant switcher who just bought a new MacTel mini won't be disappointed regarding it's speed with some software.

There are two classes of seats. The User Conference and such gets you into the outer ring of seats. If you are press or VIP or buy some sort of combo package you get a priority seat. The priority seat people get their own line.
Of course, some people start lining up the day before. However, if you get there by 5:00AM you will be near the front of the line. Between 6:00AM and 7:00AM the line grows very rapidly.
The hall is quite large. I guess it seats some three to five thousand. However, if you show up an hour before the keynote I suspect you will wind up watching on TV in an overflow hall.

How many times do we have to quote Jobs?
He said that by the time we meet here next year we plan to be shipping x86 Macs. That means between June 2005 and June 2006 Apple wants something shipping. The optimists were hoping for Winter of 2005. The pessimists were thinking 2nd quarter of 2006. And the realists are thinking 1st quarter 2006.
As for the developers. . That is what Rosetta is for. Look at the likely candidates for transition to X86: the Mac Mini, the iBook, and the PowerBook. All of which are running slower G4 chips.
I've been wondering about this since WWCD - If you take into consideration the performance of the G4 vs. the potential performance of a dual core Yonah what is the likelihood that even in emulation PPC software could be as fast as G4 PowerBooks? G4 Mac Minis? G4 iBooks? Sure I'm not expecting the software to scream along at break neck speeds, but it will probably run at an acceptable click. All the while Apple has all of their iLife apps converted and probably most of their pro apps. There really is no reason they can't go X86 in January-March. And at some point Apple has to light a fire under the developers a$$es. Its been 7 months so far since the x86 bomb was dropped along with transition dev hardware. Right now developers should be well on their way for most apps. <-----Note the word should.
