Hidden Images at mac.com Indicates New .Mac Features 41
brotherash writes "Here's an image that describes the new Address Book feature to be added to .Mac on Jan 7th. It is simply a screen shot of the upcoming web-based address book feature with 'coming Jan 7th stamped on it'." I can't tell what's going on in this image. It looks like a new UI for Address Book, but it also might have a .Mac icon in it. We'll find out next week, I guess.

On the other hand it is hard to deny that the icon in the upper right hand corner looks just like the logout icon in this screenshot for the webmail. image [mac.com]
Also, why would Apple put an image of a new Mac OS X feature on the mac.com site rather than the apple.com site. They resolve to the same address but are most certainly contained within differant directory structures. Or maybe it is both a new

I'm never submitting a story again (oh no), given what's accepted and I've had rejected. "An editor is someone who separates the wheat from the chaff, and prints the chaff." (atrtributed to Adlai Stevenson, but I think it's older; editors have been around at least as long as politicians)
Uh-oh, I sense an editor coming with "off topic" points. Which would merely prove my point, nyah.

hmm by the choice of non-stories slashdot posts about Apple, it would be nice to have a Mac person working for slashdot. I'll volunteer

Nice sig. You're definitely qualified to be an editor.

You're right I must admit - I am not a .mac subscriber. I found a link to the first image (the one that the slashdot editors left in my message) on a another Mac news site but I also submitted the story with a second image [mac.com] which did not get published. I snooped for that one. I guess that means I have more time than money - I can spend time snooping images but I can't pay for .Mac.
Either that or I have a more powerful service than .Mac called a webhost.

maybe the addressbook app will be killed and the drawer added as a system service to apps that need to use the address book? I'd say that that sounds like apple's style to me.

If you're feeling observant you will notice that the title of this article promises "images" but only delivers one. You will also note that my quote is a bit odd, claiming that the image "describes" the new feature when in fact it only gives a release date. This is because my quote has been heavily edited including a reference to this additional image [mac.com].
The image that was posted by slashdot has been posted everywhere but this additional image (which describes the feature in slightly more detail and which clarifies "what's going on in this image") was the reason I submitted the story to slashdot to begin with.
I guess Jakob was right - people don't READ on the web.
