OK, Adam, keep repeating: “2006”…”2006″…”2006″!

Fixed the shownotes, sorry. Forgot to upload the files.
with converting video on iTunes you can also be in the library aswell
Hehe, yes, it is, in reality, January 21st 2005…heh, just kidding.
Good show as always (even though long awaited).
Good work, keep it up.
Oh great, another Toronto store. What about Vancouver? That’s ridiculous. West Coast needs one. Metrotown Mall is the largest in Canada which is where Apple was rumored to open a store. Come on Apple.
Cheers for a great show.
I’d just like to say that I find Flip4Mac great. Don’t know what versio you tried out!
Sincerely, Ylan
Adam,
During your comments about Apple’s new minimal packaging for iLife ’06, you mentioned that the manuals were on the iLife CD. I could not find them. I can’t find manuals anywhere for any of the iLife apps in ’06.

Ron,
I had read that somewhere,but didn’t verify it myself so maybe that information is incorrect. Sorry. Maybe they were referring to the help files as “documentation”.
I just had a comment about the different pricing of the new computers in different countries.
Every time Apple introduces an update or a new system, the price seems to be adjusted to the exchange rate between the local currency and the american dollar. For example, right now the American dollar is strong compared to the Swedish Krona therefore the new iMac got a little more expensive.
How is the possibility of windows on a mac a good thing? I’m trying to get the money to switch because I’m tired of my current computer’s ( a Compaq ugh) tendancy to slow down and it’s difficulty in finding or even doing anything I have a hard time. It just seems wrong to have it on a mac when OS X works so smoothly. Also, I registered on the forums about an hour ago and I have yet to recieve an email to confirm my registering. thought you’d like to know
meh, i use Shredder and its free but it takes a minute and the dock icon animates!
So Glad your PodCast is back! Love It!
The problem you mentioned about iPhoto 06 not having a window open and ask if you wish to import duplicates is weird as I am not having that problem with iPhoto ’06 but Did have that same problem periodically with iPhoto ’05 & previous versions.
Flip 4 Mac is awful, doesn’t work on most streaming files, sits there and does nothing, I went back to WMP (circa last centuary) and no problems. The Pro version to convert QT into WMV takes an eternity to convert even on a fast DP G5. Of course if websites used QT or even mpeg then it wouldn’t be half the problem.
Hi Adam
I just would like that you could compare the iWeb suite with RapidWeaver software, that is made for the same objective: simple web design. From the demo I tried of RapidWeaver and comparing it to the demo made by Steve Jobs in the Keynote, the applications are almost the same.
As my ibook is really too old to run iWeb the RapidWeaver may be a good alternative for users.
Best regards.

With so many people liking flip4mac, I have to think that Brett has to contact support@flip4mac.com and submit his specific details when it won’t stream video.
There’s a comparison here of iWeb, RapidWeaver, and Karelia’s new Sandvox (introduced at MW):

One interesting thing to note for those of you thinking about using one of these products to create a blog is that iWeb does not offer comment/trackback support that I’m aware of. RapidWeaver does and it looks like Sandvox will in one form or other (Sandvox is still in beta).
Thanks for giving me the idea to “downgrade” my iPod’s software.
I didn’t get any benefit from the 3.1.1 “upgrade” and I lost my voltage meter. If you want to see your battery’s voltage (in centivolts), go to MacOSXHints.com and search on “_show_voltage.” That’s one great hint!
