MWSF - Mixed emotions, really mixed.

[toast]

- No Mail update (= no Hotmail access)
- No iTunes update (= no Library organization with Genre/Artist)
- Safari: no tabs, ugly buttons, just a bookmark organizer as if it was more important than tabs ! Hopefully there is popup blocking, Cocoa text boxes and it's free.
- Keynote is PowerPoint for Dummies (just as iCal is Entourage for Dummies BTW) as Steve has shown us so well by being a dummy with his "Look, that's sublime" interventions. Most of the MWSF keynote was a succession of transitions FX and photo FX. Nothing profesionnal, even my mothe would be bored in a week.
- OS9 is killed. Bye !I'm trashing Fontographer you mean ? That's desperate.
- iLife: never seen such a pathetic name. Looks like George Orwell or Aldous Huxley could have found it for him. iLive OnmyMac WithMyWife AndKids And iSpend MyDays MakingVideos OfThem iniLife. Ridiculous.
- No full DIVX support in Quicktime.

After this MWSF, I'm gonna feel like I'm a video god for... hm... two days. Then I'll get back to normal state and think: oh, I'm gonna browse some forums. With no tabs. Then I'm gonna listen some music. On old iTunes 3 (which is good, okay, but could be even better).

Apart from "superb transitions" there's nothing new, free and innovative as there was before in Apple. Apart from transitions a poor video freak could have made (that may be overstating, but I feel it).

You can also feel like a real company God making heavenly presentations. PC guys have been making those for years.

HOWEVER, I'm very pleased by the new hardware. And, after all, the software is not so bad, I just expected more... Hence, mixed emotions.

And I voted "50% pro's 50% con's" in my own poll.

safari is beta. give it time.
you're trashing ilife for its name. get over it. it's great to see the iapps talk to each other.
you haven't used keynote so you have no idea how powerful/unpowerful it is.
itunes 3 isn't exactly old.
if you haven't noticed, apple has a trend of moving away from microsoft. hotmail access in mail is unlikely.
booting in 9 is killed. use classic to use fontographer.
no DIVX support in quicktime? what a surprise. i hope they release iPirate at the next keynote.

this keynote rocked. i'm only disappointed because they didn't release anything i could afford (new ipod, namely ^_^)

I am. I am at the moment.

Because that's the first thing you notice about a program. Imagine Apple Inc. was called PineApple Inc.

I agree. Though I won't use this cross-iApps funtionality 'cause I don't film children and snowmen all day .

It may be very powerful, PowerPoint is too.

itunes 3 isn't exactly old.

It misses some little things that ought to be in the 3.02 version. Which is not released yet. Grr.. But forget it, I'm not patient enough because I listen music all day and I'd like iTunes programmers to work 24/7.

You make a point here.

booting in 9 is killed. use classic to use fontographer.

Classic + Fontographer is the most unstable thing I know you can do with a computer.

no DIVX support in quicktime? what a surprise. i hope they release iPirate at the next keynote.

What about full AVI support then ? Is that a better formulation ? I still get FREE, LEGAL AVI's that choke sound (if there is sound at all).

this keynote rocked. i'm only disappointed because they didn't release anything i could afford

Strangely enough, that's also my point. We conclude the same way.

I think we should ban Toast for his piss-poor attitude? Anyone agree?

Sir,

1) It is a honor to have the master of this place reading and contributing to my humble discussion.
2) What do you mean by banning me, you nasty evil... grayscale... guy ?

I'm French. I need cheese with my wine .
