The 30" moniter has a HUGE screen res arcording to thinksecret:
a 30-inch display that is 77% larger than the 23-inch, at 2560x1600. It will be available in August at a $3299 price tag.

and a price tag to match...

Mentioning a few applications. MS Office. It's great. Better than
Windows version. Ran into Bill Gates a few weeks ago and his company
feels that their relationship with Apple is better than ever.

- Most revolutionary feature: searching. too many folders now on our hard disk.
How to solve it? We already have solved it. in iTunes, you can find a song by
title artist, album etc... in a second, just by typing into the search field.
Apply to the entire system. "Spotlight" search tech. You can ask it stuff like
find my keynote presentation by phil which I opened last week.

Spotlight is system wide. upper right hand corner is a mag glass button
click it. get a search field. I get a popdown list of all sorts of things
images, mail, contacts etc...

System Preferences - removed bar at top. Uses spotlight tech. type in
what you are looking for. it hilights the control panels.
example of helping people find stuff in existing app

Wouldn't it be great to aggreate rss feeds and search through them for things you want? Demoing Safari's RSS reader.

New search field in Safari for RSS. Shows search in Google, but says there's a delay by days.
Instead can search RSS feeds, and presents them together.

filters. just like audio units, you can extend with image and video units to extend it
any way you want. similar to audio units/coreaudio. avail to dev to write any apps
they want.
