MacInTouch has restricted its MacWorld San Francisco '98 coverage to just four articles.
The first is dedicated to the Steve Jobs Keynote speech.
The second concentrates on BeOS, Emulators and Utilities, while the third covers Apple news and Impressions — you know, booth, OS's and machines.
A Readers Note on his experience rounds out the expo coverage and provides a very nice summary in point form of a lot of the major meetings/demonstrations at the show with relevant information about Apple's future movements in hardware, software and operating systems.
MacOS Rumours coverage of the Expo was on its Friday 9th page.
MacWorld magazine still has a whole site specific to MacWorld coverage, including a photo album.
MacWeek is taking its title a little too seriously, with its MacWorld SF coverage moved to the archives section already, along with all the rest of last week's news.
Various other publications, both online and off, have done MacWorld sum-ups, but to sum them up:
"Apple has announced a profit, but with declining market share experts are unsure whether this is a sustained profit or a blip in the otherwise steady decline of the once great Apple. Meanwhile the developer attendance of this years MacWorld San Francisco is somewhat down on previous years leaving the x-number of devoted Mac fanatics in attendance this year some what disappointed."
And those were the positive publications.
Quicktime 3.0
Apple has released Quicktime 3.0 beta 12 already, and has added some more features since I last spoke on Quicktime. They have now licensed from Roland some new instrument libraries and the necessary code so that Quicktime MIDI now features the full 100+ instrument library. (This means that your computer can now sound even more like your keyboard when playing MIDI songs).
Actually this is good, as downloading a MIDI file requires a fraction of the time of downloading a CD quality music file (a very small fraction of the time really), and for MIDI recordings, the quality will be almost indistinguishable (the quality of your computer's sound hardware will make much more of a difference).
