» Metaliveblog - Apple Special Event “The spotlight turns to notebooks”

Following the sucess of the last metaliveblog from the previous Apple Special Event, I’ll be metaliveblogging the one we have coming up tomorrow. It starts at 10 a.m PDT (5p.m GMT). Follow it right here, starting a quarter before the official event is on, to recap about recent rumours and what the expectations are!

» Monday “A” News

 

It’s Monday and here are the news, a lot of A-companies today:

• Adobe late last week announced that the official release of Camera Raw 4.6 is here. This is probably also going to be the last update before CS4 — which is due to start shipping on Wednesday 15th. Download Here: Windows | Macintosh
   
• Tomorrow it’s time for Apple’s special event, "The Spotlight turns to Notebook" where they’re bound to release new MacBook and MacBook Pro laptops. Rumors has it today that we also might get to see new versions of iLife and iWork. You’ll be able to follow my metaliveblog from the event, right here on the site, starting 15 minutes before the event tomorrow, at 11a.m Pacific (7p.m CET). The metaliveblog post will be up in the morning!
   
• With the release of CS4, I plan to post the new CS4 features in tutorials and cover them and mix them to get some interesting workflow based improvements and to give some suggestions on how to improve it. If there is anything special you want me to cover in terms of CS4, shoot me a comment or a mail.
   
• More about Apple. In a recent poll. Apple shows off to be the most environmentally-friendly tech company as seen by the general public, which is pretty interesting considering that they’ve gotten a lot of critique about the production process from a few places.
   
• What more can I do but to send you off to my buddy Jason Andersons blog today (being influenced by all the "A"’s used in this post I have to end with one as well), he runs a great blog called Canonblogger and he just announced the continuation of his podcasts from today and on!

» Saturday Morning News

 

Here are Saturday Mornings News, replacing the Friday news this week because of busy-ness.

• Apple has confirmed that there will be an event coming up now on October 14th. Their slogan for this time is "The spotlight turns to notebooks" which really does confirm all rumors on new MacBook and MacBook Pro versions. I’ll be metalivebloggning the entire event right here on the blog. Stay tuned!
   
• Agile has released a new version of their 1Password application, bringing it to version 2.9. The most major thing in this release is the addition of the Agile Keychain which replaces the Apple default keychain (which they felt were lacking) with their own. The update is free to current license holders whereas if you are a new user, a single-user-license will run you $39.95.
• If you are doing any type of live coverage or a live hosted chat, you might want to take a look at CoverItLive, a great and free service that lets you host your own live events or liveblogs. I’m using them for all my live coverage because it’s just awesome!

That’s these short saturday morning news!
