I think apple.com will stream it live as well

But only to apple devices. I'm not kidding. You need an iPad, or an iPhone/Touch with iOS 3.0 or greater, or OSX 10.6.

Looks like the stream is delayed from the liveblogs...

Apple's site has a new Macbook air supposedly. I can't tell if it's the older one or not.

Lots of iPhoto stuff... 20 minutes in and we're still on iPhoto. I wonder how long this is going to be.

There you go. We're on to iMovie.

Maybe 20 minutes per iLife item.

 

[Kaido]

Cool! Better audio editing & effects, plus effects macros!

iLife looks neat and all, but so far this is a little boring. I don't use iLife all that much (other than the basic features of itunes and iphoto). Hoping they get to something else soon.

 

[silverpig]

Oh dear god my father in law will go nuts with the movie trailer thing...

 

[silverpig]

Aw crap, the apple stream just shifted into crappy low-def mode for me

 

[jalaram]

$49 for upgrade to iLife 11

Facetime for Mac. How about Windows?

 

[Kaido]

Facetime for computers!!

 

[jalaram]

OS X v8 (10.7?) is Lion. I ain't lyin'.

 

[Illusio]

Facetime will only be marginally useful until it works over 3g

 

[Kaido]

App Store for OSX! I called it!!

Just jailbreak it, I use mine all the time over 3g and it works fine.

LOL "As a Mac user, I also love working with windows. Uh, I mean windows, not Windows."

 

[silverpig]

Hmm, he's having some swiping problems with the magic mouse in this demo...

 

[Kaido]

lol @ the 70/30 split for OSX App Store. A domain costs $10 a year and a website is $13 a month nowadays.

buuuuuut...most people are non-nerdy - I can see my parents/grandparents totally loving the OSX App Store, easily finding apps - so having the ability for customers to easily find your software might be easily worth the profit sharing, even though it's kind of ridiculous lol.

 

[jalaram]

Summer 2011 for Lion. I guess that explains those swiping problems.
