Apple iWork Screenshots
applextrent submitted a story with a bunch of screen shots of Apple's new iWork package, including Keynote 2 and Pages, the new Apple word processor. Nothing particularly surprising here.

BOW DOWN, HEATHEN!
Perhaps since the example applications you mention have frequently exploited macro capabilities? If you want news about garbage, head on over to Microsoft's website and knock yourself out :)
It seems IDontWorkAnymore; /. effect ?
> Nothing particularly surprising here.
Are you crazy? You must have missed the 'i' in front of iWorks- These screenshots are nothing less than spectacular!
I don't have the 80-column card!
The coolest voice ever.
Watch the apple demo of the automator in Tiger and tell me that that's not geared for downloading porn.
Coupled with Safari RSS secure browse feature (turns off all history/cookies/etc until switched back on again) and the iPhoto - I'm guessing Steve Jobs has discovered what the internet is really for.
This was modded "redundant?" So a lot of other people have already mentioned that they have iWork in their pants?
Also, what's with that "an?"
And what about Ogg Vorbis? No one will buy this if it doesn't support Ogg Vorbis!

Did this bird have black and blue feathers and generate its own reality distortion field?
Without Clippy, Pages just doesn't seem as user-friendly.

his isn't an update to an old application, it's a new word processor from Microsoft's only desktop competitor, THAT'S why we're hearing about it.
That's the usual Macintosh arrogance. Get used to it: Gnome and KDE are serious competitors to Windows and Macintosh on the desktop.
I am waiting for Apple to include iSue in there iWork package before I buy. Imagine the ability to serve litigation notices in a straightforward interface that resembles iTunes. Apparently Apple has it on internal beta and been testing it with ThinkSecret.
Apple is also highly unlikely (at this stage) to stick its oar into the OOO pond.
"Brian, there's a message in my Alphabits! It says 'Ooooooo.'"
"Peter, those are Cheerios."
No OCR. Not as many features as OpenOffice. Lame.
all your answers are evasive to the real point of the problem

You're absolutely right. I should have spent more time on the fact that "Ricardo" is an illiterate mouthbreather who hasn't got the first idea of what he's talking about. I definitely should have been more clear about that. My apologies.
do you real know what you are talking about?
Yes, I "real know."
do you real use a computer for work?
Yes, a two-year-old Power Mac G4.
they sure can do better on
Um. I'm gonna go real slow here, because apparently your meds started to kick in while you were writing your comment: Apple has released a new product. The new product is called iWork. iWork consists of a word processor and a presentation program. The word processor is called Pages. The presentation program is called Keynote. These are good programs. Apple made them, and they are good. Apple has, in other words, "done better."
Kay?
i love when you say ppl dont need ftp, and the native one is enough, came on.
I guess it would be too much to ask that your comments either contain an idea or intelligible writing, huh? I'm not greedy. I'd be happy with either one or the other.
do you real tryed to upload files at least once?
Yes, I "real tryed" just a couple of weeks ago, in fact. Somebody asked me to upload some digital pictures to his FTP server because he was too baffled by the concept of trying to download them from my iDisk. So I downloaded Transmit and did what I needed to do. (Thanks, Panic, for offering a free trial.)
are macos users so naive or inacessible that they dont pull stuff from ftp servers?
Um. I think you've kind of got that backwards. The Internet has moved on. Most stuff isn't stored on FTP servers any more. To access the occasional stuff that is, the Finder handles connecting to and downloading files from FTP servers. If you need to upload, Transmit is the program of choice.
came on give me a break!
Okay, I will "came on" and give you a break. You got it.

Wow, looks like this will be revolutionary!
For example, get this - it has this wonderful feature I've never seen anywhere - you're not going to believe the sheer power of this program. I can't describe this myself, it's too cool for words, so I guess I'll just quote straight from Apple's gushing exposition of the innovative wonders that await us in Pages:
"Or, if you like, you can even add a page with nothing but text."
Wow. Can't you just hear Microsoft trembling?
