Hey, me too. And I'm also (a) Mr Moore. AND, I live near Lake Zurich, but the one in Switzerland.
This is all just toooooooo spooky!

But it only does that because you have a backup on your HD. If your drive died, I don't think it would know you had that app.

No it doesn't. If you delete an app off your phone, then on your phone go in to the app store and try to rebuy it, it will not let you. It will ask if you want to redownload it. Apple knows what you have bought.
No, I've re-downloaded many things on iPhone that haven't been backed up. It checks your Apple account to see if you've purchased an item.
^ Are we sure that iWeb and iDVD are unchanged? My impression from the Keynote was that they had updated the entire suite but we're just showing off iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand (i.e. not enough time/interest to show everything off). Willing to be proved wrong.
Not enough time?
With all the time that was wasted going step-by-step through stupid iPhoto ****?
If they had updated iWeb and iDvd, they'd at least have mentioned it.
I'm not surprised by this move since they didn't bundle the iWork Apps for the iPad; plus Steve said that they're trying to incorporate things that they've learned from the iPhone and iPad.
"What's in the Box: DVD containing iPhoto '11, iMovie '11, GarageBand '11, iWeb (v3.0.2), iDVD (v7.1)"
Same here. Wasn't too clever installing iLife then having to uninstall GB and all the other apps just to get iPhoto.
Another BIG point here is that they will see what customers are using the most of. This will help them in knowing customer A uses iPhoto and iMovie and B uses Garageband only. It will help with development within
Why put so much effort into something nobody is using. If nobody is using it why? Time to revamp it!
Good point. There might have been a lot (doubt it though) of people using iWeb but since it wasn't updated Apple might be missing out on a good business opportunity, unless they already have other ways to know who's using their software.
Speaking of apps
This is a little off topic, but at looking at the 10.7 teaser page there is posted an image of nested folders in launch pad. They show the iWork suite, but with it they have Bento. I wonder if Filemaker is going to be brought back under Apple so that they can have a whole package with a database program, so they can answer the MS Office suite on Windows, which has Access.
Purely speculation, but it would make sense.

I only really need pages.
Switched from iPhoto to Aperture, then Aperture to Lightroom.
Don't mess around with music.
Have an older copy of Final Cut for some Movie editing.
Don't do anything with DVD's, DropBox & Flash Drives all the way.
iWeb? I use Dreamweaver, Hand-coding & more frequently, Wordpress.
I like this idea!

Apple should just ****-can iWeb if they're not going to bother updating it over two cycles.
It's pathetic compared to the other apps in the package.
My question about the Mac App Store: what happens if your Mac crashes or something else & you have to reinstall? How does that work? Does it keep track of what you've purchased & lets you download/reinstall for free? If so, is there a limit to how many times that happens?
It does not indicate anything.
Ok. Maybe people can update old iLife applications via Mac App Store. And maybe even individually. Or maybe not.
This article presumes that iLife is no longer given free on every Mac. What did uncle Stevie just say!
Free with every new Mac!!!
