iWeb?
a few mac sites are reporting some Apple employees leaked info about iWeb during demo days in France, a web browser bundled with Jaguar...
Thoughts?

<strong>Is there an english version of that site, I'ld like to know what it said...</strong><hr></blockquote>
I think this BabelFish translation makes everything clear?
It is today that with take place the Strasbourgeoise edition of the Professional Meetings APPLE, and of course were we there... I nothing will detail you here, a more complete article will follow the next week (with in premium small a video). I on the other hand will be delayed on the small things which "filtered": 1-APPLE is well developing a navigator Web, it is in fact Cyber-Dog which gets busy there. The name of the software?? Go! Guess it is not hard.... iWeb of course, it will be normally delivered in Jaguar. 2 it version X.1.5 de MacOSX server is available, and await nothing any more but the version customer to be diffused, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. The major evolution of this grinding is the possibility of booter MacOSX without screen... (ben yes for XServe) Jaguar, will not be can-to be not paying and that it is rather a good news. Indeed, it may be that Jaguar, the next version of MacOSX, sees itself numbered X.2 and is not paying, it would be then simple a maj. Or then Jaguar would be numbered X.5 and would become in this case paying.... Go Steve a small gesture to finish making migrate your users towards MacOSX 4-L' eMac, when it has should not remain very a long time held in the world of education. Indeed a parrallèle with another machine proposed by APPLE a few years ago under same the conditions, has to let to us at most include/understand that this state was not going to last, time that the mass production takes its rate/rhythm of cruising. Here thus for small the infos that noous could glanner Ci and there during this afternoon, my extremely pleasant faith.

..Drunk Dr. Suess???
Today the Strasbourgeoise edition of the Apple Professional meetings took place, and we were there of course. I will detail nothing here, a more complete article will follow next week (with a small premium video.) On the other hand, I will report the small things that filtered: Apple is developing a Web Browser, which is actually Cyber-Dog. The name of the software? Guess, it is not hard...iWeb of course, it will be packaged with Jaguar. Mac OS X 10.1.5 server is available, and it is held back by the consumer version, which will be available tomorrow or the next day. The major change in this version is the possiblity to boot OS X headless (and yes it is for the Xserve.) Jaguar will not be a paid upgrade, and that is good news. It may be that Jaguar will be version 10.2 and will not be a paid upgrade. On the other hand it may be version 10.5 and in this case would be a paid upgrade....lets give Steve a small gesture to finnish migrating his customers to Mac OS X. The eMac should not stay very long in the education world. It is similar to another machine proposed at Apple a few years ago under the same conditions, it will not last in its current state, and will be released to the public when mass production gets going. Thank you for the small ammount of information you could give this afternoon.

But Apple may be developing a CyberDog-like browser in the form of a set of services which can then be enhanced with new modules and interchanged with improved versions. However, I doubt that it would be introduced at this point of time - out of business political concerns.

In fact, these technologies must have been constantly updated as they appear in such Apple programs as Sherlock and the Help application.
I'm racking my brain to find reasons why Microsoft should continue developing Internet Explorer as a free browser for Macintosh once the agreement expires. Clearly it's let Outlook Express go already.
"iWeb- Apple's new web browser. Basically the same idea of a cocoa web browser, Like OmniWeb, but brushed metal. HAHAHAHAHA, first Watson, then OmniWeb!!!!!!!!!!!"

<strong>Rumors like this are inevitable given that the Apple/Microsoft agreement ends on August 6.

I think OE was done in by mail.app. I think having IE for both platforms makes it (in theory, see Danforth for reality) a cross platform standard (though Mozilla I believe is available on more platforms)
Acting like Apple is moving in on Watson is a complete joke.....Watson is a Sherlock type app that works better.
The reason I have doubts on this product is out of sheer hope that Apple's Marketing has not fallen THAT far from their original intentions.
(Stay with me here)...
The "i" in the original iMac stood for "Internet"... correct? This was the computer to buy if you wanted 3-Steps (2 really) to accessing the internet.
Well... not far after the iMac came iSub. Hmmmm... okay, it's really not an "Internet"-Sub... it's a Sub for the iMac... so we'lll bastardize of marketing campaign to tie the two products together. Then along came things like iTunes... a MUSIC player... but it DOES access the internet for the CDDB and for internet streams of music... so we'll let it slide.
iMovie...? well... uhhh... I guess you could upload the movie when you're done, but other than that, it's not an "Internet" app. iPod...? that's 3-degrees of seperation... it grabs the "i" from iTunes which got it from the... wait... what did it get it from again...?
but...iDVD, iPhoto and now you want us to buy-into the name iWeb...? Internet Web...? That's the same as "Department of Redundancy Department". I don't WANT this rumor to be true... I am hoping that Apple is gonna "get it" and drop the whole "i" thing and just put more thought into it.
it used to mean "Internet", but for some apps, it is an indication of a lower-end consumer version of a Pro product: FCP/iMovie, DVD-SP/iDVD... or a bundled solution: iTunes, iPhoto...
They need to either DROP the "i" or come-up with a clear marketing decision for it's USE.
Just my 2 cents...
If Apple were to release a browser, it would probably be along the lines of "Browser" or "Internet" or something simple like that.

That is exactly what I thought. i is the prefix for consumer apps/computers/devces, and Power/Pro is the prefix for Pro apps/computers/devices. It just kinda morphed into being that way. And now the different lines of products are very clearly distinguishable.
