Today: completely new version of the 23" display. Showing it.
Aluminum enclosure. one piece alumnium stand. Small bevel.
Now talking about Displays. We have the best displays. Our competitors buy panels we reject.
25% increase for IBM. 12% increase for Intel over the same time period.
Now, would like to talk about PowerMacs. Reviewing recent releases. 1.25GHz front side bus.
Addressing the 2.5GHz vs 3GHz promise. Explaining that they shifted from 130nm to 90nm,
but the whole industry hit the wall at 90nm and is a lot harder than people thought.
So the speed increases have been relatively small compared to previous experience.
Still says they are doing well in the industry but less then previously
expected.

[12:20 PM] Says it will sell for US$3299, that it is 77% bigger than the 23" CD HD, and that it only works with the Power Mac G5. This is, according to Steve, because Apple had to develop a new video card for the unit. Says it requires two cards, but that the two cards will drive two 30" displays. Go figure. Touted the fact that it will drive 8 million pixels with two displays together. Will be available in August. - posted by Bryan

for you 3d folks out there:
[12:28 PM] Brought a Maya rep out who said that Maya Unlimited to OS X. This is big news as it finally makes the Mac platform feature compatible with Maya's other platforms (Windows, Linux, IRIX, and perhaps others).

From Macobserver:
"Myst Revelations (Myst 4?) to come to Mac. A Ubie Soft (sp?) rep is giving us a run through the game. She noted that Myst initially started off as a Mac-only game. Again, the crowd loves it.
Steve says he had lunch with Bill Gates recently, and that both he and Bill said that their companies' mutual relationships had never been better. The crowd applauded, and Steve said that the Mac Business Unit's products had never been better. He also noted that Borland was bringing its Java development IDE to OS X. "
personal note - I hate when he talks all lovey about Microsoft.

They are still the top dogs and untill Office is no longer on 90% of the computers out there, Apple needs MS to produce it.

I agree -- it's as if MS wouldn't gut Apple like a fish if they could.

"Search is years ahead of longhonrn"
now we have zillion file folders
simX joined the chat room.
it's impossible to find them
it's easier to use google than use your hard disk
so we have to solve this
we solved this in itunes
this is called "spotlight"
you can ask for cmyk images, etc
it's automatic and supports standard formats and it's extensible
works with most current apps
this is integrated into the finder, address book mail and system preferences

That is KILLER! It will be a whole new way to look at/organize your files. No longer just throwing them into a folder.

Looks like they were real indeed.
system preferences has no favorites bar
they replaced it with a search window
let's say you want to change something with your keyboard, you just type it in and it selects the preference
Smart, but ugly.

what if you want to know everything you have on something?
"Everything about Bertrand"
in the menu bar in the upper right hand corner, there is a magnifying glass button
you can click on it and get a search field
you can search and get a popdown list of images, etc
potlight found something labeled as "halfdome" in a pdf
it indexes metadata, etc
Longhorn? Who needs Longhorn?

The Apple store is offline right now, so after the keynote, I think they might have the new displays on there. Sweet if they do! I want to see em already!.

Oh god...you can say that again. I've never seen something fuglier in my life. So far, I'm hugely disappointed.
Is there any mention of a new filesystem or a DB filesystem with those smart-folders and new Fugly Spotlight�?

Just following it on IRC. No mention of FS or DB FS yet. They did say
they're releasing an sdk today
and
"years ahead of longhorn" (of course)
Now they're talking QuickTime / MPEG 3
