Hidden Images at mac.com Indicates New .Mac Features

Posted by pudge on from the but-what-features-i-cannot-say dept.

brotherash writes "Here's an image that describes the new Address Book feature to be added to .Mac on Jan 7th. It is simply a screen shot of the upcoming web-based address book feature with 'coming Jan 7th stamped on it'." I can't tell what's going on in this image. It looks like a new UI for Address Book, but it also might have a .Mac icon in it. We'll find out next week, I guess.

  1. HAS to be web feature by mutterer · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If you look closely you'll notice that there are no close, collapse, maximize buttons anywhere on the window. This indicates that this isn't just a redesigned AddressBook.app, but a web-based address book, presumably for .Mac subscribers only.

  2. Rumour Engine starting up! by 42 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I love how the rumour engine begins to start up just before MacWorld! This is one of the things that make MacWorld so fun. A MacWorld without these crazy rumours floating around just isn't the same. Hopefully we hear a few more doozies before the 7th!

    The key is that the .Mac mirror of your Address Book will be available from Webmail. That will rule.

    I have a website. It's about Macs.

    That is not a hidden image. It is right on the .Mac homepage! And has been for the last couple days!

  5. Another image! by brotherash · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If you're feeling observant you will notice that the title of this article promises "images" but only delivers one. You will also note that my quote is a bit odd, claiming that the image "describes" the new feature when in fact it only gives a release date. This is because my quote has been heavily edited including a reference to this additional image.

    The image that was posted by slashdot has been posted everywhere but this additional image (which describes the feature in slightly more detail and which clarifies "what's going on in this image") was the reason I submitted the story to slashdot to begin with.

    I guess Jakob was right - people don't READ on the web.
