Live from Macworld

We will try and offer you a live coverage of macworld expo. Stay tuned as we'll refresh this news item.
As a friend just said, don't expect too much of this keynote! There are so many disappointed mac users after every special event... as there are so many rumours around the web.
Yet the Apple Stores are now closed, which confirms new products will be released...
If you follow the Mac actualities, then you probably expect one or some of those products to be unveiled: new iBooks or Powerbooks, a deluxe media center on a 42" or 50" plasma screen, new iPods (not fed up yet ?). As for software, an iLife update is in view, and iWork for 2006, including a new application in iWork : iWeb ? You'll find out in no time!
update: we have experienced a serious problem with our servers, we apoligize for not being able to relay Steve's Keynote. In summary: iLife 6 including iWeb, iWorks6 and an intel-based iMac (Core Duo) about 2 to 3 times faster than the last iMacG5.
iLife 06.
