iLife Apps Available for Download

Posted by pudge on from the just-in-time dept.

gsfprez writes "iMovie 3.0.1 and iPhoto 2.0 are available for download. iTunes 3 has been out for a while, and iDVD 3 is only available from your friendly neighborhood Apple Store or the virtual one." They are also available via Software Update, and Air Mapster writes "Those of us who ssh in from work/elsewhere can do 'sudo softwareupdate iMovie-3.0.1' and 'sudo softwareupdate iPhoto-2.0' to have them ready when we get home."

    I saw these at Macworld for the first time and I am truely amazed. I am a born and raised PC user but I recently switched to Mac because of MS's craptastic doings - I tried Linux but it wasn't pretty enough. Plus, why use Linux when you can get a *nix box with OS X and still have the best GUI and best app support out there? Anyway - these products are so far beyond anything that a PC vendor has available. You couldn't pay (under $500) for a better product on the PC platform. This really is an awesome set of apps.

    SSH into your computer at home from work and use Software Update remotely so the new stuff is ready for you when you get home?

    Come on...even for /., that's just...just...

    Hmmm...actually, it's not a bad idea...

    Which is why Apple is selling iLife on CD. Plus, you get iDVD, which I'm told is not unsubstantial either.

    Those poor saps using dialup are the ones I feel for. What is 120 MB at 56K? Two days or sumthin'?

    I remember my first modem: 1200 baud. I recall being able to read BBS messages faster than the modem could transmit. Uphill... Both ways... and WE LIKED IT!

    Fiddle-de-fee! You young whippersnappers always had it the easy way. In my day we had none of your fancy pants 1200 baud modems. Nosiree, we had punchcards and mechanical teletypes. Phone lines, bah! It is a very little known fact, but David Rhodes first sent his solicitation letters via carrier pigeon! A very dirty business, that. But we LIKED it!

    "You there?"....."Yeah"....."Are you the guy from Apple?"....."....yeah"....."ok, gimme the stuff"
