My MacBook isn't on SL and I think it's requirement. My work internet doesn't seem to be blocking anything, and I get a different screen but the stream never loads.

ort888 · Oct 20, 2010, 01:06 PM

blah blah blah

I'm streaming it on my iPhone... you ain't missing anything yet. It's the usual Apple self-felation segment.

The Final Dakar · Oct 20, 2010, 01:09 PM

I love the old guy's pseudo-steve outfit.

andi*pandi · Oct 20, 2010, 01:11 PM

"Streaming video requires Safari 4 or 5 and Snow Leopard."

Let me know what it says, ok?

ort888 · Oct 20, 2010, 01:16 PM

Hey, a bunch of new iPhoto crap no one really cares about.

The Final Dakar · Oct 20, 2010, 01:19 PM

I have a feeling this is going to be a very dry event.

Brien · Oct 20, 2010, 01:20 PM

Yeah. The interface looks more iPhone than Mac. Perhaps 10.7 will be getting a new UI after all, not just new scrollbars.

ort888 · Oct 20, 2010, 01:20 PM

If they spend this much time on every iLife App I'm shutting this feed off.

MacinTommy · Oct 20, 2010, 01:20 PM

iPhone-ing it right now.. very smooth over 3g

ort888 · Oct 20, 2010, 01:33 PM

I'm ready for iSuicide 11 after this boring crap.

osiris · Oct 20, 2010, 01:35 PM

Holy crap, this is sucking.

The Final Dakar · Oct 20, 2010, 01:35 PM

I closed the feed.

osiris · Oct 20, 2010, 01:37 PM

Thanks, it's much better now.

Brien · Oct 20, 2010, 01:40 PM

I've closed it too. It looks like "Back to Mac" = two hours of iLife demos. I'll switch it back on when (if?) they get to Lion.

Lateralus · Oct 20, 2010, 01:44 PM

Are iLife demos only boring because we've been subjected to so many of them or are they just inherently boring? Me thinks there's no way to enliven what amounts to essentially a glorified projector presentation.

And yet they continue to devote hours to them...

Demonhood · Oct 20, 2010, 01:45 PM

iMovie 11 has some slick new (useful) features.
But if they don't get to Lion soon, I'm going to scream.

osiris · Oct 20, 2010, 01:46 PM

I think they're boring because unless it's your family or your music, no one gives a darn about it.
Sure it's a demo, but it just seems a bit dragged on.

Spheric Harlot · Oct 20, 2010, 01:52 PM

Loved the iMovie stuff.

FaceTime for Mac: About ****ing Time.

Brien · Oct 20, 2010, 01:52 PM

Rather odd that the FaceTime feature is it's own app, versus an iChat upgrade...

osiris · Oct 20, 2010, 01:52 PM

That's something, at least.... come on MBA!

Spheric Harlot · Oct 20, 2010, 01:52 PM

Yeah. weird.

Spheric Harlot · Oct 20, 2010, 01:53 PM

Lion time!

Yeah. Gotta wonder why they held it back this long.

Brien · Oct 20, 2010, 01:56 PM

iOS meets Mac OS X. Here we go.

- Mac App Store.
- iOS multitasking instead of current system?

Spheric Harlot · Oct 20, 2010, 01:59 PM

APP STORE!

woah.

ort888 · Oct 20, 2010, 01:59 PM

Someone check on Big Mac. He's probably going for the razor blades about now.

Lateralus · Oct 20, 2010, 02:00 PM

And MacUpdate just shat their pants.

osiris · Oct 20, 2010, 02:01 PM

no shit.... this better be optional.

They don't have the balls. Or the power.

The Final Dakar · Oct 20, 2010, 02:02 PM

Also, thank god they didn't integrate this into iTunes as well.

Apple has the money!

Lateralus · Oct 20, 2010, 02:03 PM

Watching this presentation makes me feel so ahead of the curve for having used Bodega and AppFresh as long as I have.

Brien · Oct 20, 2010, 02:05 PM

Did they replace the desktop with LaunchPad? This is much more iOS than OS X.

osiris · Oct 20, 2010, 02:07 PM

This is all starting to smell like an iOS.

Lateralus · Oct 20, 2010, 02:09 PM

Ughhhh... ****

Goodbye Mac OS.

Yeah... I'm just a tad worried that since you'll need provisioning and a developer account to use their Mac App Store (like iOS), and Apple will likely start selling all their software exclusively on the Mac, that we'll see the death of the 'old' way of downloading apps.

Also... Mac App Store on Snow Leopard this year!

Not really.

turtle777 · Oct 20, 2010, 02:13 PM

One more thing

NEW MacBook Air !!1!1one

-t

MacinTommy · Oct 20, 2010, 02:13 PM

One more thing!!

osiris · Oct 20, 2010, 02:17 PM

Well, finally!!

Brien · Oct 20, 2010, 02:17 PM

Yep. Much thinner.

Also, notice that they have rebranded the iSight as a "FaceTime camera"?

turtle777 · Oct 20, 2010, 02:20 PM

11.3 inch, 2.3 pounds younger brother. Cool

A true netbook. Starting at $ 999.

-t

Lateralus · Oct 20, 2010, 02:22 PM

Nicely priced!

The Final Dakar · Oct 20, 2010, 02:23 PM

What's up with the reasonable pricing?

Spheric Harlot · Oct 20, 2010, 02:26 PM

Don't worry:

That ends at the U.S. border.

The Final Dakar · Oct 20, 2010, 02:28 PM

America... **** yeah!

Phileas · Oct 20, 2010, 02:29 PM

nm.

Compare: $999 64GB MBA with $ 699 64GB iPad.

Let the bitching begin about lack of retina display

Only downside: no 3G option. It probably would suck battery too much.

Brien · Oct 20, 2010, 02:40 PM

Hmm. Looks like in 10.7, traffic lights are going vertical like in iTunes 10, and the zoom button is now a full-window mode button. HIG are going to fun to look at.
