Snippets for 2009-01-06
- Macworld 2009 keynote summary via Twitter, to stop me bitching about stuff at length when I should be working on something else… #
- iLife ’09: iPhoto face recognition (oooh), geotagging and Flickr/Facebook stuff (about time); better iMovie controls (yay); GB lessons (ugh) #
- iWork ’09: Keynote transitions/vertical orientation; better Numbers formulas and charts; Pages outlines and full-screen mode #
- Incidentally, WriteRoom and Scrivener have full-screen views that knock Pages ’09 out of the park, past the car-park and down the street. #
- Mac Box Set bundles Leopard, iLife and iWork for $169. UK price: £149. I know Sterling’s getting a kicking, but that’s absurd. Bad Apple. #
- iWork.com beta for online iWork ’09 apps. Plays nice with Google Documents, which is just as well. Hopefully this won’t suck like MobileMe. #
- 17″ MacBook Pro. Includes matte screen option. LED Cinema Display doesn’t. Clearly, Apple hates pros, despite what Phil says. #
- iTunes to be DRM-free and have tiered pricing. Just feel the innovation! No, wait. Just feel the way Apple finally got screwed by the labels #
- And that’s it for ever, since Apple’s quitting Macworld. Overall: C+. The new apps look good, but iTunes being saved until last… bleh. #
