August 07, 2006

As will any other mac enthusiast, we will be giving you a recap of any news released at this mornings WWDC 2006 keynote speech by Steve Jobs. This years event is not likely to cause waves in the RapidWeaver community like MacWorld 2006 did in February, with the release of iWeb, but it will certainly have our attention with hopes of a new tower (meaning greater future computing power for seyDoggy :) ). Stay tuned for our periodic updates.
  • 11:27 am - That's it kids! It's been a slice. Have to go drool over a Mac Pro now. WeeHee!

  • 11:25 am - Leopard ships in spring! Crap, a whole new batch of RapidWeaver theme updates to do in less than a year! (grumble, grumble, grumble)

  • 11:22 am - Those were just 10 of the new features due out in Leopard. Interesting to note that I am staying ahead of most of the other live feed sites... with Rapidweaver no less! Nice product Dan (that's my corporate plug).

  • 11:18 am - Keynote presentation done over iChat! Now THAT'S cool.

  • 11:16 am - iChat!! I still think it's for kids... but getting cooler I guess. Still no Adium, LOL.

  • 11:11 am - Users can use "Webclip" button in Safari to make their own widget of any part in a webpage. Hmmm, this could be cool.

  • 11:08 am - Dashcode will be available for developers to help make dashboard widgets. I might finally make one for seyDoggy. ;)

  • 11:04 am - "to do" lists, might be useful.

  • 10:59 am - "Mail" has major changes, guess you would have to use "Mail" to care. Go gmail go!!

  • 10:57 am - Voice over is apparently incredible, sounds like a human voice.

  • 1055: am - more crazy developer stuff. After all, it is the WWDC.

  • 10:53 am - Core animation... beyond me. One of those intense developer things.

  • 10:50 am - My most used OS X feature, Spotlight, just got better. With the ability to search an entire home network.

  • 10:46 am - Virtual Desktop!!! Need I say more? Nice.

  • 10:42 am - even 3rd party apps will be able to search for files in the past! This is freaking awesome!

  • 10:39 am - Rewind one file or an entire HD, one day, one hour, or two days, etc... WOW! This is big. You getting all that Bill Gates? Might come in handy for your platform. LOL

  • 10:35 am - dubbed Time Machine, slated to archive as changes are made? Not sure unclear, but would be revolutionary to say the least.

  • 10:33 am - Leopard to have auto archive? auto backup? that would be nice. Would anger developers of app that do this already though.

  • 10:31 am - Leopard supports 64 bit apps. Gamers here we come.

  • 10:27 am - Mocking Vista's 5 year development... LOL

  • 10:25 am - Over 3000 Universal binaries...

  • 10:20 am - Mac Pro with upto 2TB storage and Xserve up to 5 TB storage! I can't even spell TB!

  • 10:18 am - product line complete now, just 210 days. Wow, Intel must be thrilled seeing as they aren't shipping chips anywhere else these days!

  • 10:13 am - 2.1 times faster than a quad! I gues that point justifies it for all those who blew thousands on a quad.

  • 10:08 am - Mac Pro, old G5 case, 128Mb GPU, 64bit, woodcrest processor.

  • 10:07 am - Marketshare skyrocketed in June... must be 5.3% now... lol.

  • 10:06am - Jobs on stage with the usual RDF.

  • 10:03 am - John Hodgeson on screen with a funny bit.

  • 10:00 am - Macrumors and endgdget are the only ones live yet. hopefully more come on now.

  • 9:58 am - My server is not meant for this... almost time!

  • 9:56 am - Steve has what looks to be a regular cinema display with an external iSight

  • 9:54 am - Here we go!

  • 9:47 am - The developers are now piling in.

  • 9:45 am - Stage looks the same as previous keynote by Jobs, i.e. previous two WWDC's and MacWorld 2006.

  • 9:39 am - back online. Everyone is taking their seats for the Keynote from Jobs.

  • 9:29 am - all apple online stores are down. You know what that means right? New product.

  • 9:25 am - ARGH! Darn bandwidth! Server down! NOOOO!

  • 9:16 am - The steams are beginning to update with some tantalizing tidbits, like "Hasta la vista, Vista" on a Leopard 10.5 banner. Nice.

  • 9:00 am San Fran time... 1 hour to go!
