Live Coverage of Apple's 'Back to the Mac' Media Event

[rmwebs]

It's amazing to me the things that seem important to Apple (aka Steve Jobs) and the things that seem important to me. I never use any of the features Phil is describing.

Ditto....who the hell cares if you can get a map up showing where photos were taken? Its pointless unless you fancy sitting there putting in GPS chords for each of the 1000+ photos from a vacation. Not everyone wants to use an iPhone to take photos, let alone use it abroad to charge you thousands in Data fees for GPS.

works for me, on windows

keynote super-boring so far

I like how people in the audience are coughing loudly...

Yeah, that's a lot of time spent showing slide shows *yawn*. iPhoto is probably the only iLife app I use and that's just to get photos off my iphone and the only change I'd like to see is it to be able to recognize the photos it already took off my phone and not insist on downloading them all over again.

I like to keep the photos on my iphone but it seems the only way to get iPhoto not to keep downloading duplicates when I want to get new photos off my phone onto my computer is if I give in and have it delete them off my phone.

Maybe that Mail interface is what it'll actual be like in 10.7?

people plastering 20 copies of their awkward family pictures is why the internet is so cluttered.

Haha well said.

iPhoto is going to be very popular with people that use it. The new interface is really nice, and the info box is great.

The email templates look pretty nice, too.

Stream muted while I do other things now. Someone post when it gets interesting.

 

[puffnstuff]

I never use iPhoto. The only thing that gets a lot of use from me is Garage Band.

 

[Sam Yikin]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

These iPhoto features do look pretty cool. Too bad I'll never use em.

Facebook is now the root of that problem and that will unfortunately never ever ever end.

Doesn't work on my PC at work (I have Firefox and Safari) but I can get the stream to work on my iPhone 4. Strange thing is I can't mute the audio on my iPhone. I suppose I could try turning it all the way down...

I know the quality isn't perfect, but you can watch it here: http://www.justin.tv/applefeed

os x black ios-like

anyone noticed the black theme of iphoto window?
the new os x is coming up later?.

 

[rorschach]

So basically no real new features. Just the same features we have now, but available in fullscreen.

 

[Salacion]

I must admit, it's a really cool interface.

Patience, assuming they do introduce 10.7 it's likely to be an overview only at this stage anyway if we're still a year away, doubly so if they really are going the touch screen route as they don't want to give that away now as it may affect Mac sales between now and 10.7 release date.

Announcements of the new OS barely effect sales. I know we'll not find out any form of detail, but something to keep the 'Mac' crowd interested would be nice.

This is nothing to do with the Mac so far, it's about iCrap for iFans. Whoopi, you can upload to Facebook, 1 click quicker.

The carousel...

 

[Mac21ND]

2 more iLife apps to go... zzzzz....zzzz...

 

[Mike225]

HTML5 fail so far... So much for replacing flash. With Flash there would be none of these browser issues.

You don't have to use it you know. I love Flickr and the deeper Flickr integration for me is really nice and useful.

 

[yg17]

Facebook integration. Making stalking easier since 2010!

 

[heehee]

10 minutes of iPhoto and he has 2 more iLife apps to go?

 

[galstaph]

new iphoto looks nice
