I started transcribing late, since the Apple Store/iPod wanking is fairly standard.
The iPod/iTMS/Airport Express combined movie/ad thing is decent. (Oddly reminiscent of Hackers.)
Yeah Yeah Yeahs in the music video section!
Al Franken featured in the audiobook section
Displays!
“Our competitiors buy the panels we reject.”
New 23″
One piece stand
Two dual USB2 and two dual firewire! Back to DVI!!!!
Separate power brick

ONE MORE THING
“A huge day in the history of big”
30″, 2560×1600 4.1 million pixels, 77% larger than the 23
30″ is $3.3k, available in august
Only works with the Powermac because it needs a unique graphics card
G-Force 6800 Ultra to drive it
One DVI connection isn’t enough, “dual link”
DUAL DUAL LINK. 8 MILLION PIXELS. JESUS GOD.
Video card is $599
(Is there a power button on the monitor?)
Panther
12 million OS X users (50% of base on Panther)
“Transition is over. (Whew…)”
Odd that Steve decides to talk about Microsoft Office right after MS bashing.
Bill feels the relationship between MS and Apple is “better than ever”.
PeopleSoft-Oracle seperation on slide intentional
Alias was unsure when they released Maya on the Mac, but 25% of Maya sales are now on Mac
Alias Sketchbook – 70% of downloads for the Mac
Maya Unlimited for OS X announced
Snickers and choking from the audience when Bob from Alias calls Xcode “Incredible”.
Myst 4 Revelation sneak peak, and this woman sounds like a robot
“Opulent landscapes and devious puzzles” – she IS a robot
Puzzle is a demo, not a spoiler – soundtrack by Peter Gabriel
Guitar Rig, based on audio units
Oh, it’s Native Instruments! Why didn’t he say so, rather than saying “CEO of Guitar Rig”?
This guy isn’t a robot, but he’s got a very odd manner of speaking
Wait, now it feels I’m watching an infomercial
THERE’S GOT TO BE A BETTER WAY
Orbit – small developer (Analytic System Design)
Satellite simulator
Shows over 650 unclassified satellites – kind of creepy
Written in 3 months with Xcode
Screensaver version called Freefall, available soon
Tiger!
5th major release
Shipping first half of 2005, so this is an extra early preview
150+ new features
Unix:
OS X is the #1 unix in the world by unit shipments
Tiger has a 64-bit VM for any process, 64-bit system lib, LP64 support in GCC
(So it’s not fully 64-bit, then?)
Fine grain locking, access control lists, Xgrid built-in
Windows:
SMB perf better
SMB home dirs
Kerberos and NTLMv2
HTML email compoisition
TextEdit supports Word tables
“Search” is the revolution
iTunes had already solved the problem
Technology is called “Spotlight”
“Keynote presentations from Phil that I opened last week”
“WWDC planning documents”
So it appears we have heavy metadata now?
Automatic for file formats and it’s extensible
Works with current apps
Demo: 100,000 files on a system
Pixar search was instant, but Pixar isn’t in the title – it’s in the copyright info
(but searching for year is pulling it off metadata, not file modified date – zuh?)
Save search to sidebar as a smart search
He’s saying “boom” a lot
Smart groups for Address book are nice, I guess
Mail.app example is decent, smart mailboxes are going to be fantastic
Spotlight on sys prefs is better than expected, gets applause
Upper right hand corner of menu bar has magnifying glass, clicking it looks just like launchabr/quicksilver, but it’s just filtering the spotlight enabled content
Wait, he said “feeds”…
It can OCR PDF files to find the little itty bits of data
SDK today
H.264
Hi-def DVDs standard
One codec scaling from HD to 3G
Non-proprietary and open
Frank Cassanova wins the UGLIEST SHIRT EVER award, good lord
4x resolution at same data rate
Not only does he have the ugliest shirt, but he is showing his nerd side
All these clips are using the Troy preview – wonder why they’re not pimping the new Pixar
“Windows Media? Bring it.” – with the universal hand motion for BRING IT
STEVE INSULTS THE SWEATER LIKE A COMPLETE ASSHOLE
Safari
RSS support
New product is “Safari RSS”
SUPPORTS ATOM!!!!!!!
Auto-detects feeds
RSS icon pops up next to snap back bar
Clicking the RSS button brings down a sheet for the RSS feed
Using summarize service to chop down the summaries
It’s odd that it’s showing the feed as an alternative to the web interface, rather than as a feed collection – wonder how this is going to go over with syndication adoption
New search field, next to the google field, just for RSS
Steve does a Cheney search
So is this RSS search done via local repository or outside master server?
Core Image + Core Video
Image processing in the GPU, floating point
Realtime filters, over 100
Image Units and Video Units
Phil up for a demo, and when he says this is the most exciting thing he could get to demo, I can’t tell if he’s being serious or sarcastic
This might be fantastic for gaming effects, or if they can happen on top of iChat AV
Real time bump distortion is neat
“Electric zebra” demo is just bizarre
Non-destructive filters
Applying the effects onto the video in real time is MUCH COOLER than I could possibly put into text.
.mac
Half a million subscribers
Sync Services engine built in, thus insuring I’m going to be renewing, since the syncing is the main reason I’m using it
Sync WITHOUT .mac using new SDK – maybe I won’t be renewing
Dashboard
Exposé for Widgets
Built in javascript – did they buy Konfabulator?
Liquid effect when you drop an item down
iTunes controller is neat
The instant appear and disappear is the important part, apparently
Accessory and Web widgets
SDK today
Automator with a fantastic icon
Visual scripting, tied into the applescript team
Interactive or fully automated scripts with 100 actions
This looks really nice and easy to use
SDK today
iChat
Tiger iChat AV sessions will be based on H.264 – same bandwidth, better quality
Multi-user chat with up to 10 people for audio conferenceing, 4 total for video
The quality on the video conference with H.264 is absurdly good. ABUSRDLY.
The mutli-user add for video conferencing gets the most cheers yet
Great shot of Phil pouting
