After yesterday's blog posting I have done nothing but talk about it with friends and family. All of these poor folks in my life are tired of hearing about the tech d`jour. But thank goodness for my blog and you folks for coming by and reading my rants.I was so excited about the keynote yesterday that I watched the crappy stream available on Apple's website. One little rant; as much as Apple gets technology they missed a nice opportunity to make the keynote available via iTunes. Ok so rant off all the rest of this blog today will be gushing over all the goodies discussed yesterday.Reading about the keynote live was good but it really came alive watching it late last night. iLife '06 is a testament that there is a large technology company that understands the wants and needs of web-connected people. It has been mentioned before but the best way to describe this is that Apple understands a digital, "webcentric" lifestyle and caters to it.I wasn't ever a big supporter of Apple or their products and I will tell you why. Often the hardware and software released by Apple (specifically the Macintosh hardware) always seemed to be more style over substance. The announcement of the MacIntel based Macs yesterday committed Apple to the hardware power that was sorely missing to power the Tiger OS. Processor strenuous tasks, such as video editing should now be a lot less intensive given the hardware changes and software revisions released yesterday. I feel like I am being won over but not by the hype but by a feeling that a company understands what I want to do on my home personal computer, and that is just have it assist me in doing what I already do: painlessly.Lots more upcoming from your own personal geek, but for now peace out... technorati tags: Macintosh, Mac,
