WWDC today


Well today is the day that us Mac lovers look to like Christmas. We'll sit eagerly awaiting Steveclause to show us the new toys we are all craving. I'll edit this post with my thoughts on the announcements as they happen. Here's what I predict:
1) Leopard Preview (no brainer)
2) Mac Pro
3) iTMS Movie Rentals

I doubt that there will ever be any iPhone and surely don't see one mentioned today. We will know shortly! At 1:00 PM the fun begins!


Things that intrigue me...
1:10 - The new Mac Pro is introduced. It has core 2 microarchitecture and 4mb shared leve2 cash and quad processors at up to 3ghz and up to 16g ram.
1:35 - Time Machine: A new back up software integrated in OSX Leopard
1:45 - Spaces: Virtual collections of applications that you set up. You can set up spaces that have certain apps running like a web space that has Safari and iWeb or a productivity space that has iWork, Mail and Keynote
1:58 - Mail gets an update: Stationary, Notes and To Dos
2:10 - Dashcode: build your own widget for Dashboard by using part of any web page and it builds the widget for you and it automatically updates.

It appears that is it... Looks like I was wrong about the iTMS movie rentals. At least I got 1 and 2 right. So when will I be able to ditch Netflix and Blockbuster? Your guess is as good as mine.
