Macworld Announcements

Cybling, watch the keynote here: http://stream.apple.akadns.net/

I'm very excited about iLife, and consider it to definitely be something really cool.

Steve said they're announcing a ton of new products this year, and it's only the 6th day of the new year, so we have a lot of new products to go. I was pleased with this MacWorld just for iLife. By the time he was done talking about that, I forgot about the new iPods already.

Steve has said G5 Powerbooks are quite a ways off, which I can understand since they are just now getting them into the Xserver and even then he made a point of how they added several fans to the front to cool the things. So I'm sure the Powerbook is going to be a very big challenge.

Apple won't announce any other products during MacWorld, but like I said it's only the 6th, all those other cool things are on the way, I'm sure.

I hate adbusters with a passion. They're so anti-everything I don't see how they can get along with themselves.

My opinions:
1) The mini iPods are WAY overpriced, I liked how the rumors said 2gb for 99 and 4 for 199, this is outrageous. And colors? rofl, that is one of the dumb things, they should at LEAST offer a white.
2) 15gb replacing the 10gb, very smart choice on apple's part.
3) This whole "iLife" thing or whatever, looks awesome. I need a mac to run it on.
4) What random said, adbusters is anti-everything.

Well, yeah, iLife is really cool, but I want to see some really coolhardware, and the iPod Mini doesn't really cut it for me, I guess.

I will be getting ilife on january 16th that garage band thing looks too awesome to pass up!, even tho I dont know how I'll be plugging my guitar in to my ibook :X guess I'll have to get an imac!, unless... I can somehow connect it via usb/firewire.

oh yes.. if your like me, and your ibook.. doesn't have audio in! don't fret (hehe fret get it?.. pfft) just try this handy device out, I'm sure there's other like it for cheaper but this looks really awesome http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore?productLearnMore=T9104LL/A

http://37signals.com/svn/ <-- good point about the prices...

I'm soooooo dialed into Garage Band.

Additionally, my brother and I bought my Mom a Yamaha DGX500 Digital Grand that has tons of voices and rhythm presets. I'll have access to that any time I want. Add my guitars, Mics, and my MIDI addressable controllers and processing gear, and I'll be poppin' new tunes up on my server in no time.

Well, after I get up and over the brain infusion hump, anyway.

so how would you get your guitar plugged into these amp features, then out through the mixer hooked up to the pa system?

Well Powerbooks have a Line-In and a Headphone jack, so you could just do it that way with a couple of adapters... And I'm sure most desktop models have something similar.
