iLife arata (in prezentare, nu sariti ) soweeet! Deja s-a ajuns la un nivel de simplitate in taskuri, workflow si integrare in MacOS pe care nu il credeam posibil.
Nici nu stiu cum sa mai explic unui user de windows despre “feel”-ul unui Mac. Fiind si programator, si stiind ce se afla sub capota, sunt f. impresionat.
De la Spotlight plecand pana la suita iLife prezentata acum, Mac-ul este intradevar pregatit pentru un digital lifestyle (poate suna cam pompos ce zic eu, dar cum zicea altcineva, m-a prins si pe mine reality distortion field-ul lui Steve)
Nu suna deloc pompos. Chiar e asa ceva. Mie personal imi place mult iLife. Folosesc foarte mult iPhoto si la +16000 de fotografii se misca relativ greut pe un G5 2GHZ. Dupa spusele lui Jobs, versiunea 6 are un performance mult mai bun, ceea ce ar fi excelent. Din cand in cand mai fac si cate un DVD iar acele teme animate o sa faca toti banii. In legatura cu iWeb…cam nasol cu cerinta .Mac.

Am mai zis pe aici pe undeva: de ce nu va faceti mai multe biblioteci, pe căprării. Dupa care ii dai drumul cu Option apasata si te lasa sa alegi biblioteca. Chiar va trebuie toate pozele in aceeasi library?
Am facut acum un mic test: Snapzu e destept: daca se stinge monitorul (din Energy Saver) el continua sa inregistreze ceea ce trebuie, nu ecranul negru! Cool!
Mda, dupa euforia de ieri, mai realizăm una-alta.
De exemplu, au renuntat la FireWire 800. Ăsta e semn rau, mie imi place FireWire si parca vad ca Intelu o sa behăie ca e mai bun USBu. Mare, mare pacat ar fi!
Apoi, Intelu din iMac nu e pe 64 biti, nu? Ei, G5ul era. Si busul la G5 era mai mare dacat la Intel. Sunt totusi multe bube pe care le are Intelu. Cred ca asocierea ci Apple e o mare sansa si pentru ei sa evolueze.
Dar ce ziceti de reclama prezentată, aia cu Intel? Mesajul mi se pare excelent ales: daca as fi PC user, m-as cam face mic si m-as ascunde… Bestial facuta!
In ceea ce priveste reclama Apple + Intel… o sa-l citez pe Steve Jack de la MacDailyNews, pentru ca spune exact ceea ce gandesc si eu:
If you’re reading this, chances are that you know that Apple Mac OS X, iLife, iWork, .Mac, Safari, etc. - the whole Mac experience is vastly superior to Windows, but the average person does not know it and simply does not believe it. They need to be shown it. [...] The problem is that Apple’s pretty bad at telling the world about their Mac innovations.
Apple’s new Intel ad fails once more. It’s another very refined, very well shot, immaculately produced advertisement that’s designed to make Apple Mac users feel superior, but imagine a Windows-only user’s reaction. The ad tells them that their computer, the one for which they spent a good chunk of change, is “dull.” It tells them that their processor is being wasted “trapped inside their [Windows] PC, when it could have been doing so much more.” Boy, you’re just so stupid, the new Apple Intel ads tells the world. You should’ve bought a Mac because, drum roll please, now the Intel chip will get to live inside a Mac. Showing an iMac with a blank blue desktop and the Apple logo with the word “Mac.” That’s it, not even a Dock. Huh, the Windows-only using world asks? Why should I buy a Mac, again? Pretty cases? “Imagine the possibilities,” the ad smugly concludes. Fade to black. Thud. Give me a @#%&! break!
How is the Windows-only world supposed to imagine the possibilities when you never, ever deign tell them what possibilities exist? All they know or think they know is maybe that the Mac has less software choices, not many good new games, some Internet sites don’t work right, all their friends’ software won’t run on it, and “it costs more.” The few people that use Macs must like the pretty cases.
Microsoft tells the world how Windows XP allows a young girl to hook up her guitar and create beautiful music. Microsoft tells the world how Windows XP helps people learn languages, making models, discovering lost cities. Apple should copy Microsoft’s Windows XP ads; at least they’d actually be telling the truth and they’d sell more Macs in the process. Oh, I know, Apple ads are “art.” What’s Apple’s artistic statement exactly? That our Macs are so superior that we can throw away millions in advertising without selling a thing?
Apple needs to continue what they’re doing in almost very other area, but if they’re going to run TV ads for the Mac, they need to hire someone who can explain WHY the Mac is better, not just churn out ads designed to make Mac users (and Steve Jobs?) feel superior. Otherwise, just forget the ads and concentrate on building Apple Stores. We Mac users already know we have the superior personal computing platform, Mr. Jobs. The rest of the world is left with no clue as to why, as usual. You and Apple should them try telling them someday.
LA naiba cu Snapz Pro. Tampenie de soft! Din nou mi-a facut-o! Am stat 4 ore la Keynote-ul asta si acum nu l-a salvat cum trebuie. Cica QT nu intelege formatul. Doamne ce tampenie. Imi pare rau lume…nu cred ca e vina mea.
More news: versiunile actuale de Windows NU se pot instala pe noile Macuri cu Intel. Aceasta deoarece computerele folosesc un tip nou de BIOS (EFI) pe care Windows nu-l recunoaste. Singura versiune care stie EFI este Windowsul pe 64 de biti dar… ghinion, Macurile cu Intel sunt pe 32 de biti… Windows Vista s-ar putea sa includa suport pentru EFI, dar mai e pana atunci.
Glosar: EFI - Extensible Firmware Interface, Apple a adoptat acest tip de BIOS pentru noile Macuri, renuntand la OpenFirmware.
