16:12.40 | wps | :) |
16:12.43 | whyisjake | :) |
16:13.00 | whyisjake | I see your copy and paste is faster then mine... |
16:13.11 | Fredjikrang | lol |
16:14.13 | wps | I am so dang excited |
16:14.20 | whyisjake | Any last minute predictions? |
16:14.38 | Fredjikrang | A million dollars donated to me! |
16:14.43 | wps | I think that Daring Fireballs seem very, very realistic |
16:14.49 | whyisjake | I thought so too |
16:14.56 | whyisjake | Did you read the Flannel one? |
16:15.01 | whyisjake | I think that is dead on... |
16:15.01 | wps | flannel? |
16:15.18 | whyisjake | http://theflanneleffect.com/articles/mwsf-predictions-the-obvious-edition/ |
16:15.24 | Fredjikrang | Daring Fireballs? |
16:15.41 | wps | nice |
16:15.45 | whyisjake | http://daringfireball.net/2007/01/macworld_expo_predictions |
16:16.21 | wps | I think that the thing that I am most excited about and want is a new UI for Mac OS |
16:16.41 | whyisjake | Yeah... |
16:16.56 | whyisjake | I was talking about this with a friend at work yesterday... |
16:17.15 | whyisjake | When you look at all the leopard stuff on the website, it all looks so black. |
16:17.30 | Fredjikrang | I am hoping for options. |
16:17.32 | Fredjikrang | :) |
16:17.35 | whyisjake | I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot more black in the ui |
16:17.38 | Fredjikrang | Gui options. |
16:18.11 | whyisjake | Who are you Fred? |
16:18.53 | Fredjikrang | Neil |
16:19.23 | whyisjake | Hinckley? |
16:19.49 | Fredjikrang | yup! |
16:20.04 | whyisjake | AWesome |
16:20.18 | wps | I don't ever see Apple providing skinning options, but I would like two settings: standard and Pro. I UI that matches the pro apps would be awesome. |
16:20.29 | whyisjake | SO, I have this firefox extension, http://reloadevery.mozdev.org/ that refreses the page, so I don't have too... |
16:21.02 | wps | with live.macrumors.com you don't have to refresh, they dynamically write the new content into the page with javascript |
16:21.36 | whyisjake | Yeah, but Engadget, and a few others are being ol skool about the whole thing... so this helps there. |
16:22.15 | wps | I think that that prediction that website will see a facelift is very likely as well |
16:22.32 | whyisjake | Yeah? |
16:23.07 | whyisjake | The lame thing about today is, I ghave to go to a hockey class at noon... |
16:23.24 | Fredjikrang | I think that they will have two more widely seperated GUI's. The two they have now are two similar. I see a black one and a white one. |
16:23.29 | whyisjake | Sorely disappointed to miss One more thing... |
16:23.35 | Fredjikrang | lol |
16:23.42 | Fredjikrang | We'll tell you about it |
16:23.50 | whyisjake | Gee, thanks |
16:24.02 | Fredjikrang | You're welcome! ;) |
16:24.02 | whyisjake | Do ou think Peaks Ice Arena has Wi-Fi? |
16:24.08 | Fredjikrang | hmmm |
16:24.12 | whyisjake | jk |
16:24.23 | whyisjake | But uh, you know umm, it would be nice |
16:24.31 | whyisjake | If they had it. |
16:25.31 | Fredjikrang | you could always check. . . |
16:25.51 | Fredjikrang | I guess the real question is though, can you skate while holding a laptop. |
16:25.55 | Fredjikrang | ? |
16:26.17 | gildedcage | while blocking the high-stick? |
16:26.27 | whyisjake | I could no doubt, I just don't think that Icould skate hold a laptop, and a hockey stick... |
16:27.05 | whyisjake | I can't wait for the new brown iPod ;) |
16:27.16 | wps | apple store down |

16:34.13 | Fredjikrang | lol |
16:36.45 | feutetejsd | so, does live.macrumors.com not go online until the keynote starts or something? Or, have they just been buried by their own popularity? |

16:41.45 | wps | there is a sidebar on macrumors site titled "live photos" |
16:41.47 | wps | that's impossible |
16:41.50 | wps | you can't have a live photograph |
16:42.03 | Fredjikrang | lol |
16:42.28 | wps | you can have a recent photograph, but photos are always history |
16:42.40 | Fredjikrang | they should say "Photographs recently taken of live events," But that is a little long. . . |

16:54.32 | whyisjake | "We're conjecturing something might have gone wrong during rehearsal; it's 15-to and they stll haven't seated most of the thousands of us that are in here. Interpret that as you will." |
16:54.39 | whyisjake | From TUAW |
16:55.54 | ArchAngelNix | Hmmm |

17:31.21 | whyisjake | 5 systems can stream but no storing on HD |
17:31.31 | Fredjikrang | yup |
17:31.38 | Fredjikrang | 1 can sync, 5 can stream |
17:31.39 | logan | so they hd is basically a iTS cache? |
17:31.40 | whyisjake | Film student... Like to shoot HD |
17:32.10 | Fredjikrang | ah |
17:32.23 | Fredjikrang | I would be happy with 100GB, but I only shoot stills. |
17:32.30 | Fredjikrang | And not raw |
17:32.45 | jhmaughan | hmm |
17:33.02 | jhmaughan | ... usually the macrumorslive is good but today the verbiage is pretty lame |
17:33.12 | ethanbratt | To bring up feutetejsd's question again, iTV is just a way to stream to the tv, not a dvr in and of itself...correct? |
17:33.17 | jhmaughan | must be a different person there this year |
17:33.35 | whyisjake | Yeah |
17:33.40 | jhmaughan | the notes are lousy, tough to undrestand |
17:33.44 | Fredjikrang | I think they are just trying to keep up. Sounds like things have been moving pretty fast |
17:33.57 | jhmaughan | this supposed to be how long? |
17:34.02 | Fredjikrang | 2 hours |
17:34.03 | logan | tuaw is doing pretty good |
17:34.08 | jhmaughan | longer than usual then |
17:34.12 | Fredjikrang | yup |
17:34.14 | jhmaughan | tuaw? |
17:34.15 | logan | 9:30 PT. Steve goes "Boom." (*hee*) |
17:34.16 | logan | :) |
17:34.28 | whyisjake | Man I love Heroes... |
17:34.43 | Fredjikrang | He said it? |
17:35.01 | jhmaughan | i guess the macrumors site is uploading photos, which is a first for them |
17:35.01 | whyisjake | So, is the goal then to put the iTv on top of a mini? |
17:35.05 | Fredjikrang | what is the tuaw address? |
17:35.05 | jhmaughan | so that would cut time in half |
17:35.13 | whyisjake | tuaw.com |
17:35.25 | logan | http://www.tuaw.com/2007/01/09/macworld-2007-keynote-liveblog/ |
17:35.31 | logan | no auto refresh :( |
17:35.39 | Fredjikrang | I don't think so, about the iTV on mini |
17:37.04 | whyisjake | Wade, I am really diggin Marty Casey |
17:37.10 | whyisjake | Thanks for the recommendation |
17:39.14 | wps | you're welcome |
17:40.13 | Fredjikrang | not a bad price for the iTV |
17:40.18 | Fredjikrang | $300 |
17:40.43 | whyisjake | Same price as a Tivo |
17:41.19 | Fredjikrang | but no subscription |
17:41.36 | wps | I wish it had DVR |
17:41.43 | Fredjikrang | yeah. . . |
17:41.49 | logan | wonder if someone can hack it .... |
17:41.50 | whyisjake | $300 gets you the Tivo and the subscription for three years |
17:42.07 | Fredjikrang | would be nice if elgato figured out how to make a PVR for it. . . |
17:42.11 | wps | but to finally have a remote to control music, movies, and photos in the living room is awesome |

17:54.26 | Fredjikrang | not too bad though |

17:54.41 | Fredjikrang | ah |
17:54.48 | wps | wow, when you bring it up to your ear, it automatically senses that and turns off the screen and sound |

17:56.59 | logan | 160 ppi |
17:57.06 | gildedcage | hope battery is replaceable, this unit will be used 24/7 |
17:57.15 | wps | for sure |
17:57.27 | wps | you'll definately have to plug it in every night like a mobile phone |
17:57.38 | Fredjikrang | cingular logo |
17:58.35 | Fredjikrang | playing beatles! |
17:58.42 | whyisjake | yay! |
17:58.53 | wps | I'm already a Cingular customer, so I am perfectly fine with that partnership |
18:00.45 | logan | wow, imagine writing software for this |
18:00.59 | whyisjake | Logan... We think alike... |
18:01.25 | whyisjake | Remember how I said leopard is going to look black? |
18:01.31 | whyisjake | http://media.macrumorslive.com/p/1168365431-thumb.jpg |

18:02.39 | whyisjake | lol |
18:02.40 | gildedcage | haha |
18:03.04 | gildedcage | wonder if the screen is inset a bit, from the grey border/frame edge |
18:03.05 | wps | yeah, I hope that 10.5's UI matches the UI on the phone-unit-device-whatever-i'll-be-called |
18:03.09 | logan | is there any pundit w/ a free zone that wouldnt' pay to swap? |
18:03.14 | logan | oops zune |
18:03.28 | whyisjake | Ohh yeah... |
18:03.30 | gildedcage | zune who? |
18:03.52 | logan | hmm, black interface in OS X makes me nervous ..... at least everywhere it does |
18:04.08 | Fredjikrang | I want the choice between black and white. |
18:04.08 | logan | but I'm sure black will be prominent |
18:04.17 | whyisjake | Have you played with VIsta? |
18:04.23 | Fredjikrang | instead of the choices they have now |
18:04.24 | Fredjikrang | no |
18:04.31 | whyisjake | It looks really nice on Vista |
18:04.32 | logan | maybe they have a cool algorthim to switch the widgets to match the contrast |
18:04.33 | wps | that's what I think they should do: two skins… dark and light |
18:04.38 | wps | most designers and photographers like it dark |
18:04.42 | whyisjake | True |
18:04.45 | logan | not tried vista, only seen a screenshot or two |

18:14.59 | Fredjikrang | must be flash |
18:15.04 | wps | that's an excellent question |
18:15.10 | Fredjikrang | hasn't said yet though |
18:15.15 | gildedcage | pretty capable flash device |
18:15.37 | Fredjikrang | flash is faster at small sizes than HD |
18:15.59 | wps | Apple's been busy |
18:16.07 | Fredjikrang | yup |
18:16.19 | Fredjikrang | and we are only half way though! |
18:16.23 | Fredjikrang | *through! |
18:16.42 | wps | this is amanzing |
18:16.43 | Fredjikrang | uses Safari |
18:17.35 | jhmaughan | and this will only cost how much you thing? |
18:17.38 | jhmaughan | *think |
18:17.40 | wps | what I love about Apple is that they don't just create a device or enter a market because it's popular… just because they can |
18:17.43 | jhmaughan | should we take estimates? |
18:17.58 | wps | they research… plan… and solve the pain-point |
18:18.03 | wps | they didn't just create a phone |
18:18.06 | wps | they created a new device |
18:18.22 | Fredjikrang | Yahoo mail to phone" |
18:18.23 | Fredjikrang | ! |
18:18.32 | wps | the critics will deny that it's "new", but it is much more then a smartphone/pda |

18:20.03 | whyisjake | <PROTECTED> |

18:20.49 | jhmaughan | *for an hour |
18:21.23 | jhmaughan | how long till another carrier gets it you think? |
18:21.46 | Fredjikrang | *shrug* |
18:21.52 | wps | I wonder why Apple would have to partner with just one carrier |
18:21.58 | Fredjikrang | they could release on multiple carriers. They haven't said yet. |
18:22.05 | wps | they would rock the market creating one that you could use anywhere |
18:22.38 | gildedcage | i'd say multiple carriers would be the way to possition this thing |
18:22.49 | wps | for sure… faster adoption |
18:23.17 | wps | they are going to have to have a good screen (in regards to scratching) since the point of this thing is to touch it |
18:23.26 | Fredjikrang | true |
18:23.42 | gildedcage | melted diamond |

18:42.22 | Fredjikrang | I am going for either Mac nano or mobile |
18:42.35 | ArchAngelNix | I like Mac Mobile as well. |
18:43.11 | gildedcage | 'really' smart phone |
18:43.25 | Fredjikrang | bluetooth accesories |
18:43.34 | Fredjikrang | nice |
18:44.18 | Fredjikrang | I can't figure out that battery comment |
18:44.35 | Fredjikrang | Two batteries? or if you only play music, 16 hrs? |
18:44.43 | gildedcage | y |
18:44.46 | ArchAngelNix | Rumors said two batteries |
18:45.26 | Fredjikrang | Pice time! |
18:45.36 | gildedcage | 399 |
18:45.43 | wps | mmm… I love pice… especially with ice cream |
18:45.51 | Fredjikrang | lol, price |
18:45.59 | gildedcage | old pice |
18:46.10 | Fredjikrang | rofl |
18:46.28 | wps | no way… I think this think is going to be less then we thought |
18:46.28 | Fredjikrang | say it steve! |
18:46.53 | wps | if it's priced right, this thing will be huge |
18:46.58 | gildedcage | low price with long mandatory contract |
18:46.59 | wps | they will sell mllions |
18:47.10 | Fredjikrang | $500 |
18:47.18 | wps | okay… nevermind |
18:47.23 | wps | it is what I imagined |
18:47.30 | wps | whoa! |
18:47.33 | wps | not shipping until June! |
18:47.34 | Fredjikrang | June! |
18:47.36 | wps | that's nuts |
18:47.48 | gildedcage | dang |
18:48.00 | gildedcage | gives me time to save up and take a few extra jobs |
18:48.06 | wps | I am surprised that they showed it off so soon if it's not shipping until June |
18:48.07 | Fredjikrang | lol |
18:48.18 | wps | that gives the competition a head start before people can spent their money |
18:48.18 | Fredjikrang | yup, cingular |
18:48.29 | bismark90 | ouch |
18:48.37 | Fredjikrang | exclusive |
18:48.54 | *** join/#byumug cmkilger (n=cmkilger@c-67-186-199-246.hsd1.ut.comcast.net) |
18:49.27 | wps | man, are they even going to get to 10.5? |
18:49.36 | Fredjikrang | maybe not |
18:49.38 | Fredjikrang | dang |
18:49.38 | bismark90 | ugh... do i end my sprint contract for $200?? |
18:49.49 | wps | well, you have six months to wait |
18:50.43 | bismark90 | true |
18:53.50 | Fredjikrang | wow, $600 with 2 year contract. Ouch |
18:53.58 | Fredjikrang | for the 8Gb |
18:54.33 | bismark90 | well, looks like cingular is going to be having an influx of apple geeks |
18:55.11 | ArchAngelNix | What sucks is I am on T-Mobile and my wife really liked them. |
18:55.27 | bismark90 | "iPhone prices include a 2 year contract - FYI" |
18:55.45 | bismark90 | does that mean including monthly payments? |
18:55.52 | Fredjikrang | I doubt it. |
18:55.56 | bismark90 | same here |
18:56.02 | bismark90 | just seemed a bit ambiguous |
18:56.47 | Fredjikrang | now he is telling a story about woz, lol |
18:58.55 | Fredjikrang | No longer apple computers |
18:58.59 | Fredjikrang | Apple, inc |
18:59.11 | Fredjikrang | that is unexpected |
18:59.13 | wps | wow… name change? |
18:59.17 | Fredjikrang | yup |
19:00.06 | Fredjikrang | The end. |
19:00.11 | Fredjikrang | Dangit. |
19:00.28 | Fredjikrang | I wanted software updates. |
19:01.28 | wps | wow, I can't believe nothing about Macintosh or 10.5 |
19:01.37 | wps | that really surprises me |
19:01.46 | Fredjikrang | yeah, no kidding |
19:01.57 | gildedcage | especially where this thing is 6 months off |
19:02.03 | wps | yeah |
19:02.06 | ArchAngelNix | I guess they are really becoming a consumer electronics company. |
19:02.07 | gildedcage | what do we do in the meantime? |
19:02.16 | wps | cry |
19:02.19 | Fredjikrang | John Mayer is there again. |
19:02.20 | gildedcage | sob |
19:02.24 | Fredjikrang | weep? |
19:02.30 | wps | save pennys |
19:02.43 | Fredjikrang | ah yes, pennys |
19:02.54 | wps | seriously… this is MacWorld |
19:03.03 | wps | very surprised |
19:03.36 | Fredjikrang | they must be planning a special event soon |
19:03.46 | Fredjikrang | but why not 10.5 here and the phone there? |
19:04.12 | gildedcage | no joke |
19:04.20 | wps | exactky |
19:04.41 | wps | it would have made much more sense to announce this at a special event in a month |
19:04.54 | gildedcage | does give ample time for consideration in phone carrier switch, but that's about it |
19:05.02 | wps | good to see steve thanking the employees families |
19:05.19 | Fredjikrang | yeah |
19:05.53 | logan | though it is CES this week |
19:06.06 | wps | that is a good point, logan |
19:06.06 | gildedcage | true |
19:06.14 | logan | this will make a big buzz over there |
19:06.21 | wps | this will steal A LOT of lime light from anything at CES |
19:06.32 | gildedcage | and overshadow anything they announce in headlines |
19:06.57 | gildedcage | http://news.google.com/nwshp?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&tab=wn&q= |
19:07.24 | Fredjikrang | store is still down |
19:10.41 | Fredjikrang | bummer |
19:12.42 | Fredjikrang | soo, how can they call it the iPhone if there is another company that has that name for their phone? |
19:13.11 | wps | yes, Logitec released a VOIP phone called that a week or two ago |
19:13.20 | wps | but Apple has many trademarks on iPhone |
19:13.24 | wps | Logitec is stupid |
19:13.41 | wps | I think "iPhone" is dumb |
19:13.48 | wps | doesn't do the device justice |
19:13.56 | wps | it's not a phone |
19:14.00 | wps | it's a mobile computer |
19:14.30 | wps | come on Apple, update the website |
19:14.35 | wps | I want better photos of this thing |
19:14.36 | *** join/#byumug turkeypants (n=Miranda@128.187.205.216) |
19:14.38 | logan | yeah, iPhone doesn't make as much sense |
19:14.39 | Fredjikrang | yeah |
19:15.32 | wps | I have never understood why they take the Apple Store down |
19:16.00 | Fredjikrang | especially for this |
19:16.03 | wps | you could have the new site (or site with new content) all ready to go on an alternate server and then simply flip a switch that redirects to the other server the second the keynote is over |
19:16.09 | Fredjikrang | it's back |
19:16.12 | wps | makes no sense to take a site down |
19:16.18 | wps | yup |
19:16.19 | wps | here we go |
19:16.28 | wps | dang… no phone though |
19:16.35 | logan | um, the apple store is on like several racks of Xserves, not "a server" |
19:16.36 | Fredjikrang | the phone isn't even listed! |
19:16.49 | Fredjikrang | new airport though |
19:16.55 | wps | new airport? |
19:17.00 | wps | home page is black… but still the stupid old tabs |
19:17.21 | Fredjikrang | new airport, support for n I would guess |
19:17.24 | Fredjikrang | yup |
19:17.29 | Fredjikrang | it is square |
19:17.48 | Fredjikrang | lots of wired ports to |
19:17.52 | Fredjikrang | nice |
19:18.07 | logan | I guess black is the new aqua |
19:18.13 | gildedcage | new ad isn't there |
19:18.44 | Fredjikrang | there must be an airport update too |
19:18.51 | Fredjikrang | (download) |
19:18.54 | Fredjikrang | soon |
19:19.57 | Fredjikrang | so, do you think that the iTV works as a hub, or a computer? |
19:20.18 | Fredjikrang | I guess it is really just (apple)TV |
19:20.26 | wps | it's basically just an iPod |
19:20.31 | wps | connected to a TV |
19:21.05 | wps | I am surprised that Steve didn't even mention the new n base station |
19:21.35 | wps | and THANK YOU Apple for putting more than one ethernet port on the dang thing |
19:21.54 | wps | the current, pyramid one is a joke with only one ethernet |
19:22.18 | wps | if you buy a router, you shouldn't then also have to buy a hub just so that you can connect your three wired computers on your home network |
19:22.29 | wps | I know that Apple is all about wireless and "the new", but if you can plug in, wired is better |
19:22.50 | Fredjikrang | yup |
19:23.09 | ArchAngelNix | I have heard that 802.11n is faster than 100 base wired connection |
19:23.23 | *** part/#byumug turkeypants (n=Miranda@128.187.205.216) |
19:24.22 | Fredjikrang | it is supposed to be |
19:24.51 | Fredjikrang | up to 540 (or 600, depending on who you listen to.) mbps |
19:25.29 | wps | the blue glow around the selection bar in Apple TV is cheesy |
19:26.01 | Fredjikrang | lol, but it sets the buttons apart from the black background. |
19:26.44 | Fredjikrang | besides, people like blue glows. ;) |
19:28.02 | wps | perhaps the are still holding off saying anything about 10.5 because they don't want Microsoft seeing it until it's ready |
19:28.22 | Fredjikrang | maybe. When is the consumer version due to come out? |
19:28.50 | Fredjikrang | of vista |
19:29.00 | wps | oh, Vista is gold master already, but there will be updates and future versions, etc |
19:29.10 | wps | consumer version is 30 Jan I think |
19:29.29 | Fredjikrang | pics of the iPhone are on the main apple page |
19:29.54 | wps | http://www.apple.com/iphone/ |

19:35.47 | wps | I hope 10.5 looks like iPhones's UI |
