Apple has announced to resellers that it's opening a retail store in Toronto: more here

I'm trying to provide a real-time transcript of the keynote here.

Thank you for that, I had never noticed it.

I hope you'll enjoy this very fresh report I've just posted. It covers very recent builds of Panther (7B7X and 7B8X series). I tested it on several Macs, including an iMac rev A, a PowerMac G4 @ 1Ghz and a PowerBook G4 @ 800Mhz. There is also information related to Disc burning, hardware...

When Jobs will leave Apple in a way or another, Alexandros Roussos, one of his best friends, will take his place and will make Apple succeed. ;) ;) ;)

I think an update for the iPod will not happen until at least early 2004.

I think that Apple has no reason to accept to be bought by another company at the moment. That could happen in 5 years if Apple sees another financial crisis and loses billions/quarter, when they'll have no cash, no other choice...

According to anonymous sources it is likely that we see a Mac OS X version of Half Life 2 during 2004. I could not really verify these sources as you guess, so we can only hope it's truth while not fergetting it's just rumors. The full report is here.

I think there are a lot of PC users that would be ok to get their music legally from the net. Actually, buymusic.com results will tell but I think it's not as attractive as iTMS, so it will partially tell. I really don't think next year they'll be able to say that they sold 300 million songs...

For iTMS, I actually also wonder if they'll port Safari's Web Core to Windows to make it work or if they'll just include some parts of it to iTunes for Windows or even use Microsoft's Internet Explorer core. My sources claim the second option (including parts of the web core to iTunes), but this...

For Safari, according to me, Apple will simply try to remain in the W3C rules more or less while following Microsoft moves by adding compatibility with "M$ML". What they care is that all the sites work with Safari. As for the Windows port, I don't think it's a priority at the moment.

For Safari, my sources haven't heard anything like this at the moment. If there are news from confirmed sources, be sure that there will ba a dedicated posting ;).

Sure fryke, but it doesn't mean they won't use iTunes for listening their music. And anyway among those PC users, there will certainly be some of them that will want to buy music, and as PC market is big, even this little portion of people who will want to be legal, will represent more revenues...
