Two groundbreaking new PowerBook
computers. Exciting new Apple
software — including Safari, a revolutionary web browser for the Mac;
Keynote, a powerful presentation
application; Final Cut Express, a
video editor that lets you edit like a pro; and iLife, an integrated
suite of Apple’s award-winning
digital hub applications. And even a high-tech ski and snowboarding jacket
that makes it easy to listen to your tunes while slaloming down the slopes.
On January 7, Steve Jobs unveiled these products and outlined the
latest Apple news to a packed audience at Macworld San
Francisco — and to tens of thousands tuned in online.
The live webcast of the event was the largest MPEG-4 stream ever
delivered — even streaming directly into the Vatican, according to
Jobs. Missed the event? Not to worry. Catch the QuickTime video of
the complete presentation on our website.

celebrities (including Aaron Sorkin, writer of “The West Wing”)
think about them, watch the Intro video featuring Apple’s Phil

Watching music videos is always fun. But for a new
kind of treat, Thomas Wendt
wants you to have an interactive psychedelic
experience.
 For his debut album, Superfluid’s “Nightfall at the Crashsite,” Wendt integrated the OIC MusicBox, a QuickTime-based music delivery system that lets you immerse yourself in panoramic visuals while you listen. Explore a different image for each track. Use controls to change the way the images move and visual effects buttons to modify them. For extra drama and a mind-bending experience, view the panoramas in full-screen size.
