Updates from Macworld…
I am following the Keynote on Macrumorslive.com Meanwhile, Geoff is sending in updates via a group iChat. Here’s a sample:
”$20 to upgrade your software on the iPod Touch, really?”
“yep”
“hiss”
“bad buzz”
VIDEO RENTALS:
“stock is going to hit $205, no question”
“1000 films by end of feb”
“new releases out within 30 days of release”
“watch on any device”
“watch instantly (within 30 seconds)”
“30 days of DVD or 30 days of theater??”
“you have 30 days to start watching”
“ohhhh”
“you then have 24 hours to watch”
“watch as many times as you want”
“wow, cool”
“you can transfer from device to device while watching”
“what?!?”
“cost . . .”
”$2.99 reg; new release $3.99”
“awesome”
Suddenly, today, I can neither download my mac.com e-mail nor access the online mail box (I get a blank screen with the web applications icons and search box at the top). The web address book is very slow (I have fiber optic internet — normally very fast). Something seems to be seriously wrong.
Apple was definitely having some problems last night, but when I checked in this morning, it seemed fine. Plus, the iWeb issue seems to have fixed itself. Here’s hoping the bumps are ironed out!
I’m still not able to sync or check-out my advanced tab in the .Mac system preferences (10.4.11) – seems to be a pretty prevalent problem with no solution.
Just read that with mobileme you’ll replace your palm. I would, if, and it’s a big one, there was any way of handling ‘tasks’ that matches Palm and palm desktop.
