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

[saxon48]

Looking like no hardware today,

unless  got everyone rooms for the night.

Please don't frighten me like that.

 

[nefan65]

What...? No iFart Demo?

 

[rareflares]

sorry for the crappy image quality...

Good call

 

[djrod]

Did anyone notice the pic on the other computer? It was some picture of a flower (I think) that I didn't recognize. Something tells me that's Lion.
Of course it could just be a different picture. It's more fun to think this way, though.

Right! That desktop background is not in the current Snow Leopard, and Apple would never use a non official background

Anyone notice the desktop picture on the second iMac? I don't think I've seen that on OS X 10.6.

- looks like I was beaten to it.

This will probably be the first time I don't upgrade iLife since I've had my Mac. Not a single thing has interested me so far.

"Groove matching". Hmm. Sounds kinky.

 

[Mike84]

I don't care about garbage band.

come on.

 

[atticus18244fsa]

Some of you guys really need to relax- the event basically just started and this'll probably be the only software app we see today (besides Lion).

It's been 45 minutes...

 

[Salacion]

I'm literally falling asleep.

 

[vca]

It's just a demo. Gessh relax.

Havin' a laff there

[mrqasimi]

I got a silent upgrade to iLife '09 when I had my hard drive replaced.

 

[HLdan]

These software updates in iLife are pretty gimmicky so far. More and more interfaces, more and more of the software trying to guess what you want to do and more and more wizard type interfaces (even if it is a pretty carousel) rather than intuitive paradigms.

Well to be honest, the iLife suite was already very good and up to date. You can only do so much more to them for the price we have to pay. iMovie was amazing though.

 

[Tower-Union]

I don't care about garbage band.

come on.

You may not, but a lot of other people do! Yeesh talk about the age of entitlement.

 

[topmounter]

It's been 45 minutes...

...and counting...

 

[Nausicaa]

Years ago, iLife was one of the things that really made me go all the way and switch to Mac, but now I just couldn't care less. This stuff is all great for kids and parents or whatever, but none of these features are really worth all this time.

Come on, lets see some new hardware.

 

[salesguy]

Thanks for making me chuckle

I agree every time Apple does an iLife release, they always do a demo. This isn't the first time.

 

[Salacion]

It's been 45 minutes...

It's probably 2 hours. There isn't a time limit.

 

[timerollson]

iWeb and iDVD demos up next lol?

 

[apple1990]

They don't do the workshop training things anymore?

Yep but nothing to do with the geniuses

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but you're right, they wouldn't. Apple puts a ton of effort into making stuff like this perfect. Notice the empty desktop and the default dock icons.

 

[Mochi Hana]

As much as I like playing with Garage Band, I think I've heard enough about it. Next topic please.
