17:12.20bjhomerOnly $1199 for a 17"
17:12.22bjhomernot bad
17:13.04ryoujouso up by $200
17:13.16FredjikrangI think the media keys are like play, pause, stuff like that.
17:13.16bjhomeris it really up?
17:13.23bjhomerdid they say there are media keys?
17:13.24Fredjikrangyup
17:13.26ryoujouis slashphone down?
17:13.35wpsI still think media keys are stupid
17:13.38wpsjust adds clutter

17:13.50Fredjikrangdown
17:13.54ryoujouit stopped loading for me.. :(
17:14.12ryoujouoh, wait, no 17 inch?
17:14.20Fredjikranghold on, on gizmodo, the 20" is 1199
17:14.25Fredjikrangthey don't show a 17"
17:14.33bjhomerwhat?
17:14.43ryoujouyeah, so its just a lower spec 20 inch
17:14.50ryoujouavailable today
17:15.02Fredjikrangthe keyboard doesn't look cluttered.
17:15.02bjhomerengadget says "Well, today we're replacing the 24-inch, lowering price by $200, 20-inch at same $1499. replacing 17-inch with $1199 model."
17:15.06FredjikrangStill pretty tight.
17:15.09wpsmy iPod just had a hearattack
17:15.14wpshe's going to be alright though
17:15.31ryoujouhaha

17:16.17FredjikrangI don't know if I like the black frame on the iMac.

17:20.38bjhomerI wonder what ilife app will be replaced
17:20.43wpsindeed
17:20.43bjhomergarageband, perhaps?
17:20.45Fredjikranghmm
17:20.45wpsI don't like the black back
17:20.49wpsfeels too Dell-ish
17:20.55FredjikrangI think iDVD

17:23.13whyisjake10:19AM: Sounds like a fancy way to organize albums, doesn't it?
17:23.21Fredjikrangyeah
17:23.23ryoujoucould be useful
17:23.27FredjikrangI agree
17:23.35ryoujoui have too many tags as it is
17:24.43FredjikrangI hate that you can't add comments to a group of photos. Most annoying thing ever.
17:24.51ArchAngelNixI don't really care much about iLife, I want iWork!
17:24.53wpswhat Apple really needs is a media browser
17:25.00ArchAngelNixNo kidding
17:25.04wpsthere is really no good way to manage your videos
17:25.05ArchAngelNixAbout the media browswer
17:25.09ryoujouagreed
17:25.10wpsiPhoto for videos
17:25.16Fredjikrangeh, all I use from iLife and iWork is iPhoto.
17:25.26Fredjikrangwps, that is iTunes
17:25.29Fredjikrang;)
17:25.35wpsor just iMedia that does it all (photos/music/videos)
17:25.49bjhomerAlso, with the new Quick Look thing in leopard, things should get a little eaiser.
17:25.51ArchAngelNixiTunes is suppose to do it, but I don't like how it does it for non-iTunes downloaded stuff.
17:26.04bjhomerIt's still not a full media browser with meta-tags and stuff..
17:26.25Fredjikranghide photos feature?
17:26.30FredjikrangThat is helpful?
17:26.33ArchAngelNixTrue. And if you record video on your digital camera, then it is stuck in iPhoto, and iTunes has no idea it is there.
17:27.29ArchAngelNixWhat sources are people following? Is there an IRC channel following it? I am on Engadgets site.
17:28.04FredjikrangEngadget, Gizmodo, slashphone (it is swamped right now), MacNN, Macworld, Stuff, etc.
17:28.56Fredjikranghmm, ability to copy/paste edits on photos, that is cool.
17:29.39Fredjikrangand a skimming feature? I don't quite understand the description of that.
17:29.56ArchAngelNixI wonder if iPhoto is taking a more Aperture way of dealing with images, the base image with a series of filters applied, not an actual modification of the image.
17:30.00wpsmost of these are features that are in Aperture that they are bringing over to the consumer app
17:31.27FredjikrangI'm fine with that.
17:31.29Fredjikrang:D
17:31.31wpsI will be very sad if this all isn't shipping today
17:31.39wpsthat is (has been) one of Apple's greatest strengths
17:31.49Fredjikrangooo, .mac now!
17:31.56bjhomer.mac needs help.  :)
17:32.10Fredjikrangwoah now, what happened to the rest of iLife?!?
17:32.22ArchAngelNixNot that cool I guess.
17:32.23bjhomer*whoa
17:32.28bjhomer:)
17:32.32Fredjikrangoh, iPhoto .mac stuff
17:32.34Fredjikranggot it.
17:33.17ryoujouimacs are shipping today.. we shall see about ilife
17:33.58Fredjikrangmacobserver is updating the fastest right now I think
17:34.05Fredjikranghttp://live.macobserver.com/article/2007/08/apple_event.shtml
17:34.23ryoujouthat wont load for me either...
17:34.24Fredjikrangstill not very often
17:34.27Fredjikranglol
17:34.32ryoujousigh
17:34.40ryoujouooh, ooh, got it!
17:35.20ArchAngelNixI found Engadgets site is handling the load the best. It is just annoying that I have refresh then scroll down to get the latest details.
17:35.29ryoujouyeah, i hate that
17:35.30Fredjikrangyeah
17:35.59ArchAngelNixThe email posting is pretty cool
17:36.20Fredjikrangthe iPhone integration is cool
17:37.09ryoujouyeah, if i only could afford one.. :(
17:37.10Fredjikrangcoverflow online. I think Apple is really in love with coverflow!
17:37.10ArchAngelNixI just wish .Mac would be an actual webhosting service, that will allow me to point my domain to it. I would pay $99 /yr for .Mac if it was a moderately competitive hosting solution.
17:38.44bjhomerA tip for engadget: before you refresh, find a phrase at the bottom of the page.  Then when you refresh, search for that phrase.  You'll jump to the bottom without having to do page down a bunch
17:39.16ryoujouhah, thanks bj... silly me
17:39.21bjhomer:)
17:40.33Fredjikranghmm, new iMovie
17:40.43FredjikrangI guess that is the one that is being replaced?
17:41.05bjhomeroh interesting.
17:41.09bjhomer(Come on, engadget...
17:41.10bjhomer)
17:42.26bjhomermore pics on engadget
17:42.34Fredjikrang"One library for all your video."
17:42.47ArchAngelNixI wonder what that means?
17:43.00bjhomerI was just thinking the same thing.
17:43.01Fredjikrangmore like iPhoto I would guess
17:43.06ryoujoumaybe itunes video will be there? that makes more sense than it does now...
17:43.14ryoujoubut i guess then it would have to be free... nm
17:44.39Fredjikrangscub video thumbnails, nice!
17:44.43Fredjikrang*scrub
17:45.10Fredjikrangand select sections of a video from the thumbnail, then drag and drop ity
17:45.23Fredjikrangand publish directly to YouTube!
17:45.29Fredjikrangthat is interesting
17:45.44bjhomereasy to make ipod video too
17:45.58ryoujoushares with itunes.. interesting
17:48.00ryoujoupossible excel competitor? http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/surprise/iwork08-on-steves-dock-possibly-adds-excel-competitor-286919.php
17:50.07ArchAngelNixYeah!!!!
17:56.06ArchAngelNixThis is why I wouldn't mind Apple being a monopoly:
17:56.11ArchAngelNixSomebody asked me, you guys are so far ahead of everyone else, why are you obsoleting your own products? I's because we really care about this stuff. To be able to put movies and libraries out there for everyone to enjoy, it's just great. We think more wonderful movies will be made and shared.
17:56.37Fredjikranglol
17:56.44FredjikrangNew iWeb
17:56.48wpsobsoleting their own products is one of Apple's greatest strengths
17:57.11ArchAngelNixOkay the last sentence doesn't apply generally, but that is the essence of Apple, we make great products, even though we don't have to keep pushing the bar higher.
17:57.47Fredjikrang"Also, personal domain support and theme switching, so you're not locked into one theme." for iWeb
17:57.50Fredjikranghuh?
17:58.07Fredjikrangis there finally the option to ftp to another domain?
17:58.34Fredjikrangwow, he is flying now
17:59.03ArchAngelNixHmm... I hope .Mac has personal domain support.
18:00.09Fredjikrangdoesn't sound like it
18:00.27Fredjikranghe said that you could point it to your .mac site as well, so, yeah
18:00.45Fredjikrangmaybe they are trying to make .mac into content hosting instead of web hosting?
18:01.05FredjikrangiLife available today!
18:01.11Fredjikrangsame price!
18:01.17wpsgood work, Apple
18:01.22ryoujounice

18:04.19Fredjikranglol wps
18:04.34wpsif there isn't, there will be quite a rumble across the rumor-sphere about that icon in Steve's dock

18:06.44bjhomerheh.
18:06.52ArchAngelNixHa, ha, ha...
18:06.57bjhomerPerhaps in a paperless world...
18:07.18Fredjikranglol, yeah
18:07.29bjhomerbetter engadget trick: just search for the phrase "Permalink"
18:07.32ArchAngelNixA to B animation is that selecting a start and an end and Keynote animating it's path?
18:07.38bjhomerI think so
18:07.54ArchAngelNixThat is one thing I wanted in Keynote
18:07.56ArchAngelNix!

18:28.18bjhomerWhich thing I have considered.  (I'd place it right behind the Apple internship)
18:28.28ryoujouhaha

18:31.45bjhomerout of curiosity, what IRC clients are you guys using?
18:31.45Fredjikrang:D
18:31.52Fredjikrangcolloquy
18:32.10FredjikrangI used iRC on my old lappy though, it was easier on the proc
18:32.15bjhomerah.
18:32.22bjhomerI really like colloquy
18:32.36bjhomerand the "Novel" view makes me laugh
