MacWorld Spectacular

12pwrbook.jpg Wow. What a great MacWorld keynote this morning! I got up and went over the U of MN campus and watched it live via satellite (the only way to watch short of being there in person) thanks to the Journalism and Mass. Comm. department. I had low expectations for today's event and I ended up very very impressed with today's announcements. It was very exciting -- similar to the keynote that brought us the first iMac. I won't ramble on here forever (you can simply visit Apple's site yourself) but they brought out the goods today: Safari, iLife (with updates to iPhoto, iMovie and iDVD), Keynote, Final Cut Express (this alone will put amazing pressure on the competition and sell a ton of units -- order now!), new kick-ass Airport Extreme (54 mbps wireless!) and of course the new 12" Powerbook and the killer 17" Powerbook! Breathtaking! Amazing! Spectacular! Ambient light-sensing illuminated keyboards! Oh, I'm drooling again... and I haven't even mentioned Firewire 800 (twice the speed) or Bluetooth.
Go watch the new commercial, too, as it will make you laugh.
Anyway, another thing that showed up today: TiVo is planning on offering a premium service package that will use Rendezvous technology to automatically see Macs connected to a network, and allow users to listen to shared music or view photos through their TV.

the problem with the 17" is that you can't put the monitor up when you are sitting on a plane seat.. I have that problem with my G3.. and as for cool... I am psyched about the i-presentor..

I hope it blows PPT, of course that won't take much
