So I Graded My Macworld Predictions

Daring Fireball - 3 hours 33 min ago

I predicted iLife, iWork, and the 17-inch MacBook Pro, but, as usual, I predicted a slew of other fanciful things that didn’t pan out. (It occurs to me that if everything I predicted had been included, it would have been a six-hour keynote.)

DRM-Free Music at iTunes Store

Daring Fireball - 6 hours 15 min ago

As of two minutes ago, it appears you can now buy music from iTunes from your iPhone over EDGE and 3G, not just Wi-Fi.

Even better: all the music in the store appears to be DRM-free now. I’m guessing Phil Schiller will announce it later on in the keynote. Maybe this is the “one more thing”?

Update: It’s official.

Update 2: During the keynote, Schiller specifically said music was now downloadable over “3G networks”, but I was right — it works over EDGE too.

Macworld 2009 Live Panel - Watch 4 feeds at once!

9to5Mac - 7 hours 12 min ago

We are firin' up the livepanel again this year with Engadget, Macrumors, Gizmodo and Computerworld sites all set to be included.  If any go south, we'll hook up a few backups.  As a bonus, we are hoping to get some Qik live camera feeds but are wary of the bandwidth in the hall during the event.  The show starts at noon eastern time, 9am pacific but stop in early to see the pregame show.

Remember, this page refreshes automatically so your trigger finger won't be bloodied refreshing pages.  It is also big and works best on a 24 inch screen or bigger.

Get there!

In case you needed a reason to be excited, Andy Ihnatko seems to be a fan of something...or preparing for a epic buzzkill.

Oh and the "Magic" we mentioned before is in the iWork templates...sorry to not have closed that loop..Oh, and Apple's Downloads page lists iWork '09 as the number 5 Top downloads.  We didn't download iWork '09, did you?

iWork.com set to go live tomorrow

9to5Mac - Mon, 2009-01-05 23:28

iWork.com, a domain that Apple has owned for a long time is set to go live this week with a public beta of the new iWork collaboration package.  We went over this briefly before but need to clarify our previous statements a bit.

iWork.com will be a online site where you can share and view (but not yet edit) iWork documents online.  Workgroups will be alowed to share documents, comment on documents and view them to a certain extent in the browser window.  We haven't recieved clarification of how well this will work and how many capabilities this will have. Somewhere between reading a Pages document and viewing a full multimedia Keynote presentation we'd guess.

We expect it to go live tomorrow.
