WWDC 2006 Keynote Coverage

I like the look off the new "creating widgets straight from Safari webpages" feature. Making my own widgets for surfcams, TV pages, etc. Very useful.

Mmm. Maybe iMac but not sure about MBP because I think Steve would have said something.Maybe both

What about Merom in MBP and Conroe in iMac or are there not going to be any Macs with Conroe?

I don't think they said either way.

The transcript doesn't seem to be available anymore, but I remember it saying that it would backup to an "external drive or server" specifically. I'd quote it, but I can't find the transcript.

Apple stock is down almost 2% today. If you look at the movement over the day it was generally rising over the morning. During/after the Keynote the stock took a huge drop. I think investors have been visiting the rumor sights and might have been disapointed like some here.

Look, I work with XP and Windows 2003 all day (I'm a Windows programmer; not much call in my industry for Mac programmers). This is nonsense. The security settings are scattered all over XP: to give one example, users in a Domain environment: if you want to add a new local user to a machine that's a member of a domain, you have to go to Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Users and Groups, but if you want to give Admin permissions to a local user, you have to go to Control Panel > Users.

Yes, but if you're doing local user administration only, the poster was correct.

In an environment where the OS X system is a member of a domain, user adminitration may be a bit simpler if you're on an OS X server and using their directory technology. If you're a member of an Active Directory, however, you can't even *change permissions on files* from the OS X system - you must do it from a Windows system. I hope Leopard changes that.

Thats not the case. This was bound to happen. Stocks always go up on rumors and go down with News. So even if there was a Merom MBP and video iPod launched the AAPL stock wud have gone down definitely. As a general rule in Stock Markets- You buy on rumors and sell on news.
