Apple - QuickTime - WWDC 2006

I love a Steve Jobs presentation. There was one last night at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference. You can watch it at the above link.

The new Mac Pros look amazingly powerful. Quad Intel Xeon 3ghz processors in a great enclosure. But since i don't do much video editing anymore, it's certainly not something I need at the moment.

The rest of presentation was a preview of the new Mac OS X Leopard. The features that I liked:

TimeMachine (a complete backup and restore solution). Very nice. It backs up everything for you, although they didn't explain how you manage hard drive space doing that.

Spaces, allows you to move between multiple virtual desktops and reduce clutter. Looks good. But i'm not sure that i'll be organized enough to use it.

The new text-to-speech engine sounds amazing. It's starting to sound really human. Listen here.

Some of the new iChat stuff is spectacular. But is it any use if you don't pay for a .mac account. .mac should be free
