Yesterday was a big event in the Mac world.
Every year now Steve Jobs gives the keynote address at MacWorld Expo in San Fransisco.
He almost always introduces new hardware and software, and this year was no exception.
I won’t bore you with details about the new MiniMac, ShufflePod, iLife ‘05 etc, as that’s being covered in detail on all the Mac sites.
What was cool was how a bunch of people got sucked into a chat, and contributed to tell everyone what was going on in the keynote.
I was sitting at first on several web pages, but they all eventually died under the load of everyone refreshing every 3 minutes.
The
site mentioned an IRC channel, so I hopped on that.
Now IRC was designed for sending text from one person to many others, so it held up just fine under the load.
“), who was on another AIM chat and feeding stuff from that.
It was a long chat, so you have to click to read it..

Hey there.. Applause! Woo! |
| 12:16:28 | [Justin] |
yes, my colleague next to me is watching MacNN and I’ve got mwsf.macosrumors.com on. Any other good places to follow? |
| 12:16:37 | [Laura] |
hiya |
| 12:16:42 | [Reid] |
I’m on http://mwsf.macnn.com |
| 12:16:46 | [Reid] |
Hi Laura! |
| 12:16:46 | [Laura] |
just going to macnn now |
| 12:16:49 | [Mark] |
MacDailyNews – Macworld San Francisco 2005 Live Coverage – Welcome Home |
| 12:17:01 | [Reid] |
Alas, I got a server error from that site just now. 403! :-/ |
| 12:17:13 | [Reid] |
Ah, all better now |
| 12:17:32 | [Reid] |
Hey, he’s using HDTV. Hmmm.. |
| 12:17:41 | [Reid] |
Hi Iain! |
| 12:17:41 | [Iain] |
hello? |
| 12:17:45 | [Iain] |
Hi Reid |
| 12:17:50 | [Iain] |
yahoooo! |
| 12:18:16 | [Reid] |
We have two places to “watch”:MacDailyNews – Macworld San Francisco 2005 Live Coverage – Welcome Homemwsf.MacNN.com |
| 12:18:43 | [Reid] |
Hm, my newlines got obliviated there.. |
| 12:19:59 | [Reid] |
Hm, who was that? |
| 12:20:21 | [Reid] |
I guess this is a pretty obvious chat room name, so we might get random people popping by. |
| 12:20:26 | [Mark] |
heh |
| 12:20:59 | [Justin] |
what *is* the chat room name? how does one find out in iChat? |
| 12:21:20 | [Mark] |
View-> chat options |
| 12:21:36 | [Laura] |
macworldkeynote, yeah, that’ll do it! |
| 12:21:37 | [Justin] |
Ahhh. thank you. |
| 12:22:30 | [Reid] |
You can create arbitrary chat rooms via “File->Go to chat…” of course [just f.y.i. in case] |
| 12:22:47 | [Reid] |
Hm, should have used the unicode right-arrow character there.  |
| 12:22:55 | [Iain] |
ya |
| 12:22:57 | [Iain] |
|
| 12:23:33 | [Justin] |
much of iChat is still unknown to me, so any helpful info is helpful |
| 12:24:27 | [Reid] |
Hi there bo2.danmark.. |
| 12:24:35 | [bo2] |
hi there |
| 12:24:42 | [Reid] |
[I got Laura to click 'accept' on Peter's machine btw.] |
| 12:24:48 | [bo2] |
scanning iChat for keynote feeds.. |
| 12:25:23 | [Reid] |
We’re watching two feeds at the moment.. |
| 12:25:31 | [Reid] |
http://mwsf.macnn.com/ is pretty good so far |
| 12:25:41 | [Reid] |
http://macdailynews.com/macworld_sf_2005_keynote.phpseems a bit sluggish |
| 12:25:57 | [Laura] |
I haven’t been able to get in that one (macdailynews) |
| 12:26:22 | [Iain] |
http://mwsf.macnn.com/ |
| 12:26:46 | [Reid] |
heh heh,Apple Store is closed. |
| 12:27:04 | [bo2] |
all feeds are sloooow… |
| 12:27:05 | [bo2] |
 |
| 12:27:07 | [Reid] |
testing font. it got small for some reason.. |
| 12:27:15 | [Laura] |
I’ve also got http://live.macobserver.com/article/2005/01/mwsf2005_keynote.shtml |
| 12:27:23 | [bo2] |
http://appleinsider.com/ |
| 12:28:05 | [Reid] |
appleinsider is taking for..ever to load. :-/ |
| 12:28:10 | [Mark] |
all of which seem a bit on the overloaded side… |
| 12:28:15 | [Reid] |
ah, and just as I hit enter there it goes. |
| 12:28:19 | [Iain] |
http://www.chaosmint.com/events/mwsf2005.html |
| 12:31:24 | [Justin] |
appleinsider has almost exactly the same reporting as macnn (right down to spelling Regent Street wrong) |
| 12:32:30 | [Reid] |
Not word-for-word, though. |
| 12:33:06 | [Reid] |
Oooh, QuickTime 7. You know anything about QT7 Justin? |
| 12:33:09 | [Justin] |
no. and of course they’re both reporting a common source, so that could explain a few of the similarities |
| 12:33:15 | [Justin] |
just read about it on macnn!! |
| 12:33:15 | [Reid] |
They say it has “H.264″ |
| 12:33:27 | [Justin] |
yes, but that was announced last year at WWDC or something |
| 12:33:36 | [Reid] |
.. which is “basis of next-generation DVDs” |
| 12:33:42 | [Reid] |
Hm, big font. oops. |
| 12:33:44 | [Justin] |
unfortunately I haven’t actually worked with QuickTime in the past two years |
| 12:33:50 | [Reid] |
bummer |
| 12:33:52 | [Justin] |
calm now. |
| 12:33:52 | [Mark] |
That’s the fast codec that as Justin said was mentioned at last year’s WWDC |
| 12:35:51 | [Reid] |
I guess 98% of QuickTime downloads being for Windows makes sense — Macs ship with QT already installed. |
| 12:36:21 | [Justin] |
quite so. It just means that people with old Macs don’t bother updating QuickTime… or that people with old Macs update the whole OS all at once. |
| 12:37:33 | [Reid] |
.. or people with old Macs go and buy new ones. |
| 12:37:39 | [Laura] |
I wish!! |
| 12:38:34 | [Reid] |
Thatchaosmint page still hasn’t loaded for me. |
| 12:38:50 | [Justin] |
it’s not all that interesting. point-form stuff. |
| 12:39:00 | [Justin] |
most recent: “cell phone up to HD – everyone climbing on board” |
| 12:39:00 | [Reid] |
Woo.. dashboard |
| 12:39:04 | [Justin] |
“covering dashboard now” |
| 12:39:07 | [Reid] |
heh |
| 12:39:23 | [Reid] |
Hey we can just paste updates in here.. |
| 12:39:28 | [Justin] |
I think macnn is best coverage (and best resistance to overloading) |
| 12:39:43 | [Reid] |
Hm, iChat didn’t let me paste. Too big. |
| 12:39:58 | [Reid] |
Ya, so far so good |
| 12:40:08 | [bo2] |
join chat “keynote” for ok feed |
| 12:40:51 | [Reid] |

| 12:42:01 | [Laura] |

~#macrumors~<maradong> everything is being updated
~#macrumors~<maradong> staring with iPhoto |
| 12:45:26 | [Justin] |
(you guys are now ahead of macnn and have become my new primary feed |
| 12:45:32 | [Reid] |
heh |
| 12:46:27 | [Reid] |
better organisation, multi-albums, added calendar to ID time/date |
| 12:46:42 | [Reid] |
iPhoto supports Movies? MPEG4 format |
| 12:46:44 | [Justin] |
about time for multi-albums (iPhoto I presume)! yay. |
| 12:47:00 | [Reid] |
..and RAW |
| 12:47:04 | [bo2] |
iPhoto – better organizing and searching, more formats, better editing, new books and designs, more folder options, calendar view, MPEG4 movie support |
| 12:47:10 | [Reid] |
[I am copy-pasting from the IRC channel] |
| 12:47:19 | [Justin] |
very good, thank you |
| 12:48:02 | [Justin] |
appleinsider is way behind, but has the extra tidbit that QT 7 is actually QT 6.6 renamed |
| 12:48:19 | [Reid] |
demoing… |
| 12:48:47 | [Reid] |
25,000 photos in his iPhoto… |
| 12:48:52 | [Reid] |
lot of options to choose from |
| 12:49:14 | [bo2] |
iphoto more…Editingstill see the thumbnails across the top, while editing a photo. Added an editing Dashboard. Balck and white pointsbrightness, exposuer, histogram, saturation, tint, straighten. Works on any photo type. |
| 12:49:33 | [Reid] |
it’s a lot easier to make books |
| 12:50:00 | [Reid] |
[Now i they would just get rid of the disk-eating, brain-dead design!] |
| 12:50:01 | [Justin] |
all very nice. I wonder if the new iPhoto will be out only with Tiger or earlier for Panther? |
| 12:50:13 | [Reid] |
much better way to organise & find photos |
| 12:50:39 | [bo2] |
example of new supported format – MPG4 video |
| 12:50:53 | [Reid] |
Final Cut Express [from macnn page] |

| 12:51:18 | [bo2] |
iPod photo sync… or? |
| 12:51:45 | [bo2] |
no :-X |
| 12:51:53 | [Reid] |
I thought iPod already sync’ed with iPhoto? |
| 12:51:59 | [bo2] |
right |
| 12:52:12 | [Reid] |
Not that I have a photo iPod to check or anything.. |
| 12:52:13 | [Justin] |
syncs the iPhoto library using iTunes, actually |
| 12:52:13 | [Reid] |
|
| 12:52:25 | [bo2] |
what about the new MPEG4 support for iPhoto????? |
| 12:52:31 | [Reid] |
Hm, the #macrumors channel has gone silent.. |
| 12:52:43 | [Reid] |
iPhoto seems to be crossing over into iMovie’s domain. |
| 12:52:45 | [Jeff] |
Wow, the kids are all here! |
| 12:52:54 | [bo2] |
and iPod?????? |
| 12:52:55 | [Reid] |
They should just merge the two into iMedia. |
| 12:52:55 | [Justin] |
