Apple

So, 24 hours have passed since the Apples ``big announcements" yesterday. Although the iMacs look nice, in many respects they were just more of the same; an evolutionary step instead of a revolutionary one. I like the look of the new iPhoto and might be able to move from Aperture over to it in the near future, I hope it gives me everything I need.

The announcement I'm really excited about is Numbers, the new spreadsheet program in iWork '08. I picked up a copy of iWork (as well as the new iLife) on the way home last night and stared playing with the software when I got home. I have to admit to being pleasantly surprised by Numbers.

OK, saw this on youtube and couldn't resist.

Every time someone gets a mac I get a phone call or an email asking what software they should install. As a resource to those folks I'm putting together a list of software I use every day. This is not necessarily a list of the best pieces of software just the software I use and like. It's not all free, but it all makes me happy. I hope to update this as time goes on. I'll also post a list of software I use less frequently soon.

This is a letter I am sending to Steve Jobs about DRM. Feel free to grab a copy, edit it and send one of your own.
