11:09 - Showing how to layout the web page widget now. Drag and drop and crop. Easy. And then somehow with magic it will update.
11:09 - Webclip. Anyone can take any part of a website and turn it into a widget. So, weather, or a comic strip. Kind of like windows active desktop.

10:36 - Doing a demo of Time Machine. (First get up to 88 miles per hour!)
10:35 - Time Machine automatically backs up everything. As soon as a file is changed, it backs it up. Restores everything. Per file. Sounds like it takes up a lot of space. Can back up to HD or server.
10:33 - Everyone says "backup", but who backs up? 26%?
10:32 - New App/feature. "Time Machine" it's something to do with backing up so you don't lose your photos.

Comments
wow. how come nobody commented yet? every fanboy at WWDC and every mac-hater away from the internet or what?
*gets popcorn*
Is there an iPhone yet?
I don't know why I'm here. I haven't owned an Apple product since my Apple IIGS... but someday I'll pull the iPod trigger... probably when I can capture raw video straight from my video cam to an iPod. That would r0x0r5 my 50x0r5.
Wow... that gabbly-chat is really retarted. Couldn't sit in that for terribly long- it spent so much time refreshing I couldn't do anything else.
store.apple.com is offline.
agree with t3k
Gabby-chat not working well with so may coming/going messages
is it normal to have butterflies in my tummy before this event? i'm not even there!
Here goes!!!
Love the YouTube clips. Gizmodo rulezz. (Am I fanboy enough?)
anybody know what's the music in this first fan-boy YouTUbe clip?
ye we definitely need live video feed next year. (oh no, why am i so excited about an apple event? nooooo!!!)
hmm, i cant view video at work i guess :(
Putting off important social service work to wait for 30-second updates...it's been 3 minutes 28 seconds, I need an update fix!
If it makes you feel better, pretend you're excited abou the newest Indian motorcycle. Remember, Apple is American, independent, and not so bad...there's no shame in rooting for Apple.
Guys, that video is, like, MINUTES old. Move it down in the timeline. LOL. Y'all are doing a great job.
I'm very interested in seeing if this iPhone is coming out. I hope it's the picture shown earlier on Gizmodo that was a full screen iPhone, with a stylus. I'm all about full screen goodness.
"256MB of RAM"??? wth for a Pro thing? Booooo!!!
hopely you mean video RAM...
Windows bashing??? At an Apple event, unthinkable...
wow, shit-talking windows, how lame is it to reveal your insecurities through childish smack-talk
disgusting... i'm not buying a mac unless they give me windows for free with it... (which they prolly will cus nobody buys macs here in hungary)
Gotta love Steve bashing Windows, when he moved to the same architecture that Microsoft has been supporting for years and years.
"Reality Distortion Field to full, Keptin!"
Steve: Who's ur daddy? Bill: Bring it, Steve: I've already brought it, Bill: Better put it on eBay 'caus your gonna have to buy another one in 6 months when its outdated! Steve: at least I upgrade...
when the hell are they going to announce something i care about?
Or here in Belgium...
hmm... the backup stuff... microsoft had that since Windows ME (system restore)
Wow. The difference in tone between these updates and the ones on some other website that I swear I'm not reading because I love (checks address bar) Gizmodo too much to ever look elsewhere... Anyway, what was I saying? Oh yeah, wow. The difference in tone is, like, really extreme.
Nevertheless, I'm glad to have the updates. Even though the only Apple product I've ever purchased (and may well ever purchase) was a 3rd gen iPod, which has already been replaced with an Archos in terms of which I actually use, I'm still interested. Gotta be able to keep up at the ol' water-cooler, ya know? =)
I never been to an apple event but have recently browsed an apple store to find out more but nothing that happened today has enticed me to take the final step and invest in a Mac. too bad.....
I would guess Time machine takes a decent amount of space--perhaps 1.21 gb [pronounced jiggabytes]
Absinth is right. "Time Machine" sounds a whole lot like "System Restore" to me.
gee...the updates are being blogged from an XP machine, aint it?
Yeah Stever, you're really rockin my socks off with this "Time Machine". Get out the photocopiers Cupertino.
So what's worse, moderately aping the look of the GUI, or copying outright a system feature to recover after a crash on an OS that you claim "just works"?
YES!!! (It Froze)... Bill: Who's ur daddy now?
ok. so the macpro sounds exiting. I might have to check it out come Christmas. esp since I assume you would be able to boot Vista and Leopard side by side with BootCamp. 2400 is a little expensive, but not impossible.
it would be so awsome if gizmodo had pictures. then i could only refresh one tab. ye, the other has em... em... nothing.
and OMG IT FORZE. HAHAHA IN YOUR FACE, STEVE
HAHAHAHA oooh the irony, wait wait, BSOD what?!
Frozen demo? Now Steve's copying Bill. What's next, a virus?
Time Machine sounds like a cross between System Restore and Shadow Copies. Great thing to throw out after you make fun of MS for copying. And then have it crash.
Your photo's and Engadget's are extremelly similar. Are you sitting next to those guys?
OH SNAP! Frozen Mac, BONNNG (channels Jay and Silent Bob).
I thought it just worked?
What's a "full version" of Boot Camp mean? It comes with Windows? Marketing bable.
Jeez, virtual desktops, more copying!
i had no idea that gizmodo was a Windows fanboy site.
have I really been refreshing this thing every minute for the last HOUR???? damn I'm a loser
Gettin' near the end. Ready for the cool stuff. C'mon, Steve. Knock our socks off...
ninja: we're just thinking that jobs went too far with windows bashing. the blue death os needs some love too, doesnt she?
"Guy turns red, says he wishes he could go back in time so that didn't happen."
Honestly, he shoulda went the direction Albert did above...
"Uh-oh, a crash during a live demo. Now who's copying who?"
C'mon. That would get a laugh from any audiance. It really would've been perfect.
hmm... did the voiceover part recognize or wreckognize?
