A demonstration of Tiger Mail's new capabilities drew applause from the crowd, when Jobs showed a new feature that allows users to view attached photos instantly as a slideshow and easily export to iPhoto using an on-screen icon. Mail appears to have much faster search capabilities, along with smart mailboxes, which provide you with instant search results.
The centerpiece of QuickTime 7, which will debut with Tiger, is the new H.264 video codec -- a scalable, high-quality technology that scales from cell phones to high definition video. H.264 will be used in both competing high definition DVD video formats -- HD DVD and Blu-Ray.

i like macrumors.com's coverage, extremly quick :)

Anyone know if you will be able to download the QT stream from apple's site and watch the keynote offline...

Also, watch CNBC (or maybe's it MSNBC!) at 4pm today, for I believe a Steve Jobs interview...

9:23: Steve has a bug. Tiger just froze up and he had to switch to a new computer. (similar problem happened with Microsoft at CSS (CES) next (last) week.)

lol

Not really, as was explained the MCE machine failed to display the pics cause of the infrared controller not reaching the port not cause the machine froze up/crashed ;)

could someone tell me a logical reason why apple stock is going down down down?

also, after apple's impressive show of their dashboard widgets, say bye bye to konfabulator :). I say if Konfabulator wants to salvage any part of their business, they make it really cheap for windows.

is that what really happened? Well this kind of high profile companies, it's a shame to me nonetheless. They could have tested the equipment beforehand to ensure it is working. As for bugs, only that we can't really predict.

I would speculate that these systems are tested before the show. But you can't expect it to work perfect every time.

It worked fine when they tested it, however the chairs were moved back a few feet causing them to be out of range of the infrared controller

I agree, but do re-read what creamhackered posted

It was because the infrared controller not reaching the machine port. Well that's pretty stupid mistake if you ask me. If the hardware failed for no apparent reason, well that's nothing can be done. But the infrared not reaching? :wacko:

Ok, that's acceptable. But still, they should be well aware, what's the maximum distance for the infrared controller.

Where did you get this information btw? I saw the CES video. The chair was practically at the stage front edge.

p/s I'm have nothing against Microsoft. Just thought it was really shameful if the infrared not reaching the machine being the cause. Hardware failures or bugs are out of human prediction and control most of the time, infrared distance? :unsure:

Cutting the price for ordering photos down to 19 cents per photo. The books really are much better than the old versions. I think this feature will really take off now. He?s showing a baby?s first book now.

new offerings

Hardcover: 11x8.5

softcover 11X8.5

softcover 8x6

Pocket book 3.5x2.5

some guy who was there wrote it in his blog. He watched them moving chairs around and that was his speculation about why it worked fine before the chairs were moved and why it froze after

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
    • Hello, Having a simple utility to allow Microsoft's customers to configure the context menu, with a few options like showing the current menu, showing a proposed menu/alternate configurations, loading and saving the settings, and a "reset to default" option would have solved this. Let Microsoft provide a recommended default look-and-feel, maybe a couple alternative configurations, like a basic/simplified version of that, and a more advanced version for that, and that would have been very well-received, I think. Microsoft could even had offered a library of different configurations, similar to what they have done in the past for Windows Media Player skins, Themes, and desktop wallpaper. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • No Steam release. It's gonna fail on PC. Even an Epic Online engineer said that people go there for the free stuff and then immediately go back to Steam.
    • Nice. Admittedly, his other games never interested me, but this seems pretty cool.
    • It's time to say goodbye to Edge and switch back to Firefox. There's no way to disable the ugly rounded corners that appear everywhere. Not even on the page frame. No one uses screens with rounded corners, you idiots.
