WWDC 2007 Keynote Coverage

yea it's cool and all but how many computers are going to respond postivily to all the animation features. My first gen macbook didn't display itunes coverflow seemlessly. i mean some of it seems like fluff anyway, i mean who 'needs' the reflection of the window on the dock?

CoverFlow has never been smooth, it is quite buggy. Maybe in Leopard it would be OK.

Your MB is capable of handling coverflow.

Buy more. I'll go back up after the icky iphone is released.

Unless of course it has major flaws then the price will tank.

Anyone else notice there is no mini in this picture?

Safari on Windows is huge; that's the second thing they're taking away from Microsoft (the first being WMP -> iTunes) for Windows users.

They're not taking anything away from Microsoft with that. 99.9% of Windows users have never heard of Safari. 99.9% of businesses are not going to replace IE with Safari.

Why not just eliminate the middle man and release Leopard for x86? Same retail price...$129.

Now you're talking my language! That would revolutionise Apple.

 

[Klisk]

Disappointing. Now I have to sit here and (still) wonder if I should purchase my macbook now, or wait until october. Sucks.

I can't believe there isn't any new hardware.

When is the next time they would even announce new hardware? Macworld 08?

 

[Dark Dragoon]

How do I know if I have the new version. I downloaded it but cannot tell if I have the latest version.

I the menu bar go to, Safari > About Safari

 

[Agathon]

I love the new search mode in Safari. It is like Firefox, not a pop-up windows.

Well spotted sir!!

It seems to run well on my machine, but I had to uninstall Inquisitor and SafariStand.

Safari on Windows Front Page News on BBC Website

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/6742439.stm

Apple has launched a version of its web browser Safari for Windows, competing head to head with Microsoft's Explorer and Mozilla's Firefox.
Chief executive Steve Jobs said Apple "dream big" and wanted to expand the 4.9% market share Safari enjoys.

Mr Jobs was speaking at a conference of developers for Apple products in San Francisco, California.

He said Safari was "the fastest browser on Windows", saying it was twice as fast as Internet Explorer.

A test version of Safari for Windows XP and for Vista is available for download from the Apple website. Apple is hoping to replicate the success of iTunes, which has proved enormously popular on both Macs and Windows machines.

Mr Jobs used the conference to lift the lid on new features of its forthcoming operating system (OS) for Macs, called Leopard.

Pretty huge coverage for this. Usually WWDC is just a small story at the side of the page, if anything at all.

In the Intel picture, it's in front of the Mac Pro.

He's the bastard child, that's why.

 

[PCMacUser]

And what's the hell with the 'world's best browser' claim that Apple make about Safari? How do they justify that claim? Man oh man...

Cheers. Turns out I do have the new version, can't see any new features though.

 

[gwilli]

I can't help but see similarities between the new dock features and ObjectDock....

I can just hear my Vista buddies already saying... "that looks just like windows"... They're not even around and I can hear them thinking it, which really winds me up!

Safari 3 beta is still Brushed Metal?

I thought it would have the unified look.

 

[adamcz]

Way to make Safari 3 available for XP+Vista but not for me (10.3.9). Jackasses.

My OS is not only newer than XP, but it's... you know.... a freaking Mac!

Anyone else notice there is no mini in this picture?

Because its not 64bit

Well spotted sir!!

It seems to run well on my machine, but I had to uninstall Inquisitor and SafariStand.

I'm not willing to uninstall them...

 

[milo]

So what's going on with the Safari 3 installer? Doesn't work on my machine with the latest OSX.

I've seen a number of people with this problem. Anyone have a fix (and "works fine for me" isn't a fix, I already know it works for some people).

 

[Anorak]

Apple Canada's main page must still be in the process of updating, since nothing is on it.

The store is back up, though.

 

[kingofkolt]

I was out for a while, but dude, the new Apple store looks nice (can't believe this is what we're reduced to talking about ).

 

[fairnymph]

Anyone watch the Leopard ichat demo? It's really, really cheesy.

 

[Darkroom]

Way to make Safari 3 available for XP+Vista but not for me (10.3.9). Jackasses.

My OS is not only newer than XP, but it's... you know.... a freaking Mac!

don't feel so bad... i've got 10.4.9 on a brand new iMac C2D and it refuses to install, citing my computer doesn't meet the necessary requirements...

Apple's stock kinda dropped after that crappy keynote.

Tommorow is Tuesday so one could hope for a hardware update. Update or not I'm still buying a Mac tommorow.

Apple part numbers changed?

Last week I added a MBP to my cart - the cheapest educational model. The part number was MA895LL/A. I just added the same one to my cart, and now the part number is Z0EB. They're both in my cart at the same time right now, same config, same price, same everything. Weird.

Edit - Well, one difference. The original one is shipping in 1-3 days, the new one is 3-5.
