Pretty neat listening to the audio feed and watching the pic updates on engadget.com.

**Kyle Matthews** · 06-11-2007, 11:49 AM

Movie time widget integrated with Fandango. View trailers in widget...

Web Clip--make a feature out of anything on the net.

**ColsTiger** · 06-11-2007, 11:50 AM

I don't know the advantage of 64bit vs. 32bit. Must be much better quality. Seems like it would require completely different hardware.

**Kyle Matthews** · 06-11-2007, 11:50 AM

Nope, MacBook Pro's have been shipping with 64 bit capable Intel chips since launch of Intel last year. There just hasn't really been any software to take advantage of that ability.

**ColsTiger** · 06-11-2007, 11:50 AM

fandango widget sounds cool. need that on iPhone.

**Kyle Matthews** · 06-11-2007, 11:52 AM

10:51 Web Clip is cool, basically picks a portion of a web page and allows you to have that portion as a widget... how cool.

**ColsTiger** · 06-11-2007, 11:53 AM

wish the audio feed was better.

**Kyle Matthews** · 06-11-2007, 11:54 AM

10:54 Feature #9 iChat.

Better audio, "iChat Theater"

Cool. I didn't realize the advantage. I knew that Vista came in two versions, but didn't understand the difference between the two.

**Kyle Matthews** · 06-11-2007, 11:58 AM

iChat allows you to drag other apps into it, such as iPhoto to share photos, etc in iChat.

Yah, the 64 bit processing makes for WAY faster rendering of large files such as high-res images, movies, Photoshop stuff, etc. Looking forward to this...

You can drag movies into iChat, as well as music, etc...

Feature #10 - Time Machine.

11:03 Can backup with Time Machine to an external drive, or plug in an external into your AirPort Base Extreme, and all computer can share one drive. Very cool.

**ColsTiger** · 06-11-2007, 12:03 PM

isn't time machine just like system restore?

**Kyle Matthews** · 06-11-2007, 12:06 PM

Similar, but on steiroids. There is no need to schedule anything, it automatically does it, and you can scroll back through previous versions of files within the Time Machine, preview all the files without having to restore, and choose which one you want to restore, then restore it. Sexy.

They all got copies of Leopard. Helllloooooooo, bit torrrent tonight.

"Now, we've got basic version, which is gonna cost... $129. We've got premium version, which is gonna cost... $129."

Making fun, only one version, haha.

"since we're all here today, there's one other thing we want to tell you.. ."

over 18 million Safari users.

**ColsTiger** · 06-11-2007, 12:09 PM

Leopard shipping in October. Basic version, $129. Premium version, $129. Business version, $129, Enterprise version $129. Ultimate version, $129.

**Kyle Matthews** · 06-11-2007, 12:10 PM

"Safari 3 now runs on XP and Vista as well!"

**ColsTiger** · 06-11-2007, 12:11 PM

did he say Safari on Windows?

**Kyle Matthews** · 06-11-2007, 12:11 PM

4.6 seconds, 5.5 seconds, 2.2 seconds for IE, FireFox, and Safari (respecitvely) to render page.

1.6 times faster as Firefox 2.

500,000 FireFox downloads daily, 1 million downloads of iTunes daily. Safari pushed through iTunes.

Your favorite Apple, iPhone, iPad, iOS, Jailbreak, and Cydia site.
