Apples WWDC 2004
 
This is the topic for mac or ipod users to use what updates are being made for the mac osx and all the hardware.

Updates? None for the time being, I hope. Bringing out OSX 10.3 less than a year after 10.2 and then expecting people to pay full price for it (£100 and no upgrade programme!!) was extreme cheek, as far as I'm concerned. I'm still using 10.2 and likely to continue doing so for some while, until Apple bringsout just enough 10.3-only stuff to force me. Honestly, I love my Mac but Apple gets away with commercial shinnanegans that Microsoft would be busted through every court in the world for .... oh, hang on, M$ already has been busted through every court in the world. Silly me. :D

Thing is WWDC is for developers, not consumers. So i doubt there will be new iPods.

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.

New tech: Core Image and Core Video. doing processing in graphics processor (GPU), not the CPU.
all done with floating point precision. realtime filters. over 100 professional quality
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.

Next: .Mac. Over 1/2 million subscribers. Building a sync engine right into tiger.
also using for .Mac syncing throughout tiger. New .Mac preference panel to turn things
on and off in once place. Good for those with more than one Mac. Sync addresses,
screensavers etc... across computers.

Dashboard: addressbook, calculator etc... hit one button to pull them all up.
"exposÃÃâ€*’ © for widgets". Showing itunes controller, etc...

Accessory widgets, and widgets that go to the web and find stuff for you.

Next: Automater. Visual scripting. Has access to iLife apps. Demo of Automater.
Easy to use. Left hand side are categories of actions. as you click a category
the actions appear in a list below. Actions can be linked ... where the results of
first action are provided to second action. (example is getting images from website
and adding to iphoto library then creating iDVD slideshow)).

If there is one it'll probably appear sometime after the keynote has finished.

Wonder if there will be any "and one more thing...." surprises?
