Macworld 2009 Keynote Stream and Summary

2009 Macworld Keynote by Phil Schiller (QuickTime Stream) Keynote Summary It’s Your iLife On Jan. 3, I posted a list of six things Apple must do at Macworld. The company fulfilled the first, coming clean about Steve’s health, yesterday. Phil fulfilled the third thing today, by introducing iLife ‘09. Apple really needed to update the software, which is one of the major applications for which people choose Macs

Phil’s early presentation showed how Apple effectively out-markets Microsoft. One major new iPhoto ‘09 feature, “Faces,” uses facial recognition search to make organizing images easier. I’m sure many bloggers and journalists will write about Apple’s amazing new innovation. Microsoft added facial recognition search to the now defunct Digital Image Suite about five years ago. The feature worked really well, and Microsoft had scene recognition search, too. Damn slick. But for reasons I never understood, Microsoft didn’t promote what was a truly innovative feature.

iPhone Bluetooth Makes Progress

The team at iBluetoothProject.tk has released a small MobileTerminal app to demonstrate their progress in unlocking the iPhone’s bluetooth capabilities.

The teaser app called “bluesn0w” does a 10 second scan for near-by bluetooth devices and displays each of their MAC addresses. Their goal is to bring to the iPhone the bluetooth services a smart mobile phone should have.

Macworld Expo ‘09 Update

Despite lessened expectations for next week’s Macworld Expo, the Moscone Center venue for the trade show already sports roughly a dozen sprawling, cloth-concealed banners that hint at several product announcements.

Five banners shrouded by white cloth, approximately 60 feet in length, can be seen immediately upon entering the Moscone South Hall. Three hang just above eye level on the ground level while the other two sit just above the entrance to the south hall exhibits.

Cydia Gets Fancy New (Animated) Graphics

Well, it seems that I have missed a very cool new feature in Cydia. When you are on the Home option (on the lower menu bar) in Cydia, you get a menu with options such as Featured Packages, More Packages Source, F.A.Q…etc. If you select the Featured Packages option, you get a nice list of the featured applications (sponsored, free, commercial…etc). Everything seems normal but, wait until you select one of the apps…things get all crazy!
