History
Pages on Mac OS X is the successor of Apple's multipurpose office suite AppleWorks. The first rumors of a new Apple word processor to replace AppleWorks circulated the Internet through Mac rumor websites in 2003, suggesting a new software package to be released by Apple called "iWorks" or "iWork". Many Mac users were expecting the new program (which rumor sites then claimed would be called "Documents") in 2004 after reading the rumors. Steve Jobs, Apple CEO finally announced iWork '05 along with iLife '05 at the beginning of 2005.
There was a program of the same name made for NeXT computers by Pages Software, Inc., including similar WYSIWYG page layout features as Pages for Mac OS X. Since Apple acquired NeXT in 1997, this has led to suggestions that these programs are based on the same codebase. Apple has not commented on this issue. However, since Pages Software's NeXTSTEP assets seem to have been acquired by a Chicago-based IT solutions company, this speculation appears to be unfounded. It is known that Pages for OS X was developed by the same team that developed Keynote 2, a presentation program included in iWork.

Sarah Palin introduced as McCain's choice for VP

'We can shatter that glass ceiling once and for all,' Alaska's governor says at a rally with McCain. Palin, 44, is anti-abortion, but has bucked her party at times and could appeal to Clinton fans. DAYTON, Ohio -- Republican John McCain today introduced Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate -- a move that could shake up the presidential race with a social conservative who will appeal to the party's base and a woman who may attract disaffected Democrats who backed New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton instead of Barack Obama.

'We are a better country than this,' Obama tells an exuberant crowd of more than 84,000 at Denver's football stadium. Barack Obama accepted the Democratic presidential nomination Thursday night with a scathing assessment of John McCain and a blunt indictment of the Bush administration, promising to repair "the broken politics of Washington" and preside over a more prosperous and equitable America.

Bertha Means, 88, has long stood up for civil rights. This week in Denver she sat down and cried. Who can say for certain where the tears came from? There were the days picking cotton as a girl, her legs scratched and bleeding from the plants' sharp spurs. There were the restaurants that wouldn't take her order, the credit union that wouldn't accept her application and, later, the swimming hole where her kids weren't allowed to swim with the white children.
