Macworld 

In my tribute to Richie, I'm too busy to actually write about Macworld right now, but will give occassional updates as appropriate.
11:38: G5 XServe announced.
11:42:30 million songs have been sold on iTMS, WAY more than any competitor. Top spender has spent $29,500 since beginning. "It feels good to get out of that 5 percent (market share), doesn't it?"
11:49: Pepsi program starts Feb. 1. Kicks off at Super Bowl. 100 million songs given away. 1 in 3 drinks is a winner.
12:07: Among the cool new titles in iMovie is a new Star Wars-style scrolling title effect.
12:49: It turns out Elijah Wood really likes iPhoto, but I hope that on his computer, he's got it renamed iFrodo.
12:52: Sheryl Crow is a big iLife fan, saying that she likes iMusic, iPhoto, iMovie (along with iPod), saying that it makes her life "so much easier," particularly with the addition of the new app, iHavemoresensethantodateKidRock.
12:55: Big iPod news--new 15 GB $299 iPod, new headphones for $39, and--dundundun--you ready for this? A new ad!
12:56: iPod has 31 percent of market. 31 percent is high-end flash, 31 percent is low-end flash. The other 7 percent is hard drive players "that we're in the process of eliminating."
12:57: OK, I think this is going somewhere.
12:58: The iPodmini--4 G drive, 1,000 songs. $249. "The best $50 bucks you'll ever spend" compared to other flash players. (But wouldn't you rather spend $50 for the low end iPod?--ed.) About size of business card. Uses iPod interface. Buttons in scroll wheel. Supports Firewire and USB2. Comes in colors. Annodized aluminum. Ships next month.
