Day 5 - Macworld SF 2005

iPod ShuffleSo you now all know what new stuffs were announced at the Macworld SF. All I could say is - I was there. Unfortunately and very disappointingly, I wasn’t able to witness it in the main hall where Steve Jobs delivered the keynote. Probably I didn’t go there early enough (arrived one hour before it started), so I was allocated a seat in another hall where the keynote was broadcasted live on a large TV. Clearly I was very upset. Since I paid US$295 for the cheapest pass to go to the keynote, then ended up viewing it on TV and getting no freebies - no gadgets, no software ….

Anyhow, I am happy to see what they released, like iPod Shuffle, iWork and Mac Mini. Another upset is that no one got the chance to see and play with the real Mac Mini in the Expo. Well, there were many interesting things in the Expo, like Delicious Library, WebEdit and a photo management software developed by a company based in Shanghai. I will elaborate it in a separate blog entry later. Here comes the photos first.

People waiting for Seminar to start

6 of us rented a car and drove to L.A. in the evening, it took us around 5 hours and every body is tired, now we’re staying in the Best Western hotel - free wireless Internet access in all rooms, yeah!
