John Gruber, of Daring Fireball, or 'the Grubs,' as I like to call him, has
posted a lengthy review of this year's Macworld. He goes over
what he expected to be announced, what was announced, and what he thinks of the whole thing.

best line of the article:
"PCs typically cost less than Macs because theyre pieces of crap, not because Intel CPUs are less expensive than IBMs or Freescales."

Thank goodness somebody else noticed how much of a hog iWeb is. I've gotten the spinning beachball of death (SBOD?) a number of times already. Note: having movie formats that quicktime doesn't understand in your movies folder brings the iLife media browser to it's knees - kinda like finder, come to think about it.
I agree that it's disappointing that iWeb doesn't support comments, but I can't really blame Apple for not biting off more than they can chew. I mean, I'm sure grandma would be upset if they gave her a comment feature but didn't provide a robust, user-friendly way of filtering out the spam. Then again, maybe she could get a good deal on grandpa's "special" medication.
My guess, by iLife'07 the code generated will be almost perfectly compliant - except for any "innovative" new features like photocasting. By iLife'08 (maybe sooner) iWork will become a regular part of iLife. Like John said, iWeb is like Pages for the web. Why not combine it all into one suite and tighten the integration... maybe even share templates between the apps.
How long are people going to continue paying $79 for Keynote anyway?

"As for the MacBook Pros missing S-video out port, however--that just stinks. [Update: Apple sells a $19 DVI-to-Video adaptor, but its a nickel-and-dime move not to include it in the kit for a $2000 laptop. The difference here between S-video and the modem is that modems are dying--not dead yet but dying--but S-video output is needed frequently for presentations.]"
Puh-leeze. Modem usage is dropping, true, but I'll bet 100x more people use a laptop's modem than its S-video connector. Attention all columnists: most people in the real world do NOT give presentations. Laptops are no longer high-end items that only salespeople use. Besides, I've given plenty of presentations in my time, and not once have I ever needed anything besides a VGA cable. Everywhere I've been has projectors, not televisions, for presentations.
