Mac addicts probably already know this, but the MacWorld 2006 keynote is available online. It used to be possible to watch the keynotes live, but this has not been possible lately. At least the delayed version remains and it is good entertainment (mostly marketing hype).
I do enjoy the opportunity to check out new products. As things in my world go, we purchased a new iMac desktop for a kind of Christmas present and Apple announced a new iMac during the keynote presentation. Supposedly nearly twice as fast. Oh well, the “old” one is still too fast for me.
I thought the new iLife 06 products have educational potential. The iWeb softare appears to be an easy way to author web content and a new feature of iPhoto allows sharing of image collections. The new opportunity to create videopodcasts within iMovie may also provide the foundation for projects.
Check out the streaming version of the keynote – you can skip the first fifth or so and see the products I mention here.
