Another suggestion - get practical advice from Mr Papers at http://www.mr-papers.com/gallery.htm including the latest, a money-saver rat.

I'm trying to be optimistic, but that's a lot of plot points to wrap up in the final season.

Ten episodes? I think they can do it. And since they knew these
episodes would be the last (as opposed to most shows which are just
cancelled) that foresight really bodes well for a satisfying ending .

Yeah - Apple creates products that make sense first, and then comes up with
the name for it, not vice versa. I highly doubt Apple's product development
starts with "X + Nano" or "X + Pro" and develop a product to fit the name.
There is no Cinema Display Nano, or Apple TV Pro. Just as I think an iPhone
Nano is a dumb idea, so be it with an iPhone Pro.
Despite my personal issues with the iPhone touch keyboard, I love the touch
technology for just about everything else - games, navigating around a map,
surfing the web, using the iPod. There's a lot of really innovative stuff
going on in regards to iPhone Apps. All of that would be stifled if Apple
attatched a traditional keyboard to the iPhone. I agree Apple wouldn't take
a step back right when it's on the verge of another GUI revo... (comment via Disqus by webomatica)

While I agree the announcements were underwhelming (and I was there in the room), I think that was the plan from the get go. Although tons of reporters are STILL saying otherwise, I think there can be no doubt that Steve handed this speech to Phil to help tame expectations, not for health reasons.

And in many ways, that's really for the best. Let people walk away from the last Macworld thinking that Macworld isn't all that important in the product cycle anymore. If they had put on an incredible show today, people would have been left asking "why end it now"?

Also, without big Apple announcements, attendance in the expo hall was muted today, and will probably continue to be lower than last year. This will help demonstrate that without Apple, Macworld is doomed to a quick death.

Yep my not-so-secret desire was to get a new Mac Mini and delegate the
one I currently use as a desktop machine to the TV. A new iMac or
Apple TV would have been a probable buy on my part, also. Oh well,
hopefully Apple has something in store for all these products within
the next few months.

Yeah come on, I expected an iMac update at the LEAST. Now I have to wait even longer so that the price on the current gen drops (and I buy one). Sigh.

Well Joe you have a way of calming me down, as always. Anyhow, I do expect a
Mac Mini / iMac update in the next few weeks - that will go a long way of
easing concern that Apple is slipping.
It will be interesting to see how MacWorld reinvents itself to stay relevant
without Apple's presence. I am already assuming this MacWorld will be the
last one I attend. I guess we'll see.

If Macworld wants to continue in any capacity, they need to completely reconfigure the show into something that no one today would recognize.

I expect iMacs and Mac minis in the coming weeks or months. First quarter, most likely. (If Apple really wanted to stick it to IDG, they'd release something next Tuesday.) Probably just a quiet press release for the iMac, if it really is just a speed bump. Maybe an event for the mini and the Mac Pro, both of which need to be upgraded to be more environmentally friendly. (Apple is pushing green lately almost as much as it is pushing thin.)

On a side note, I thought Phil performed just fine, considering he had little material with which to work. He was obviously nervous at the start, but he got into a groove once he started doing demos, which is what he's used to doing. Face it, he's no Jobs, but he's still 1000 times more charismatic than Bill Gates or Steve Ballmer. Jobs and maybe Jeff Hawkins have always been the tech world's only good public speakers.

It's not intuitive. Find a "Friend of..." item in your FriendFeed stream. Click "Hide." That'll bring up a popup that lets you select other options. That second popup will allow you to hide all "Friend of..." updates.

So how do you change that setting? I can't seem to find it...

Yeah the sharing options probably look different on the earlier version of
Mac OS X. I'm on Leopard. But check out this page - there are some
instructions to turn on SMB sharing for Tiger (10.4) listed. They might work
with Boxee.

The Sharing section of my mac's preferences looks different from the screen shot shown here. I don't have the ability to select folders, users and read/write access. I only see the left column with the check boxes and services to be turned on/off and a "Start/Stop" button on the right which does the same thing as checking/unchecking the box.

Is this because I'm using OSX.4? Any suggestions on what I can do?

Thanks for mentioning it Jason. Seems like this new real-time feature will be perfect for the event.

A very under-rated Bond in my opinion is Live And Let Die. It is very funny, especially Sherrif J.W. Pepper! Some of my favourite lines from the movie are:

"It's your lucky day, Jim! You're goin' skydivin'!"

"What are you, boy? Some kind of doomsday machine? Well we got a cage strong enough to hold an animlal like you!"

"Secret agent!? On whose side?"

This was Roger Moore's first Bond and he look great, sounds great. All in all, a fun movie, I always enjoy it. Also, arguably the best theme song of all of 'em!
