WWDC 2004 06/28/2004 02:59 PM

Steve Jobs just wrapped up his keynote at this year's World Wide Developer Conference and aside from the 30-inch Cinema HD Display the primary focus of his talk was Tiger, the next generation of OS X due in 2005. Some highlights of Tiger include:

• Spotlight - A new search utility to help you find files, apps, contacts, etc.. with greater ease. At first glance it looks a lot like Quicksilver, a tool I absolutely love.
  
• Safari RSS - Safari will now be able to read rss feeds and display them within the browser. Now collecting your favorite rss feeds will be as simple as bookmarking a page.
  
• Dashboard - A new tool for displaying and using handy 'widgets'. Seems a lot like Konfabulator, another cool tool I use religiously.
  
• Automator - A new visual scripting tool that appears useful for creating workflows among Apple's core apps and the iLife suite. Looks like Actions in Photoshop to me.
  
• iChat AV - Adds support for up to four people video chatting and up to 10 people in an audio conference. The screenshots are pretty cool.
  

Apparently, the Moscone Center was decorated in posters taking jabs at Microsoft with phrases such as "Redmond, we have a problem." and "This should keep Redmond busy". Wish I coulda been there.

I'm kind of disappointed that there weren't any iMac announcements, but as we've seen in the last month, Apple doesn't feel the need to save their major product announcements for their highly publicized events. Just check their site every Tuesday and you might see something new.

WWDC coming soon

WWDC coming soon 06/05/2005 11:38 PM
See you at WWDC?

You might imagine that I’ll be ranting and raving about UI issues—but, actually, I won’t be. I’ve got it all out of my system. (I wanted to get it out my system before WWDC.)

Speculating about WWDC...

There may be some cool, interesting announcements—and, then again, there may not be. I have absolutely no inside knowledge. Part of me hopes that the focus will be on fixing bugs, adding polish, fleshing out the APIs that need it, rather than big new features.

I’d love to see awesome new hardware, come to think of it. An iPod phone would be sweet, I suppose. A tablet Mac, sure, cool. But more than anything I’d love to see a big speed boost in the desktop line. Fast computers are cool, but super-fast computers are super-cool.

The Hero of WWDC

The Hero of WWDC 06/17/2005 04:30 PM
(Update 12 June 2005: this post has been edited so that no one person at Apple is singled out—teams are teams, and the entire Intel team deserves a huge round of applause.)

At WWDC a member of the Intel team helped me get NetNewsWire and MarsEdit building as universal binaries. It took a little under two hours. It took as long as that only because these two apps are made up of over a dozen projects, and we had to change the settings (the famous checkbox, plus some other things) and rebuild each project individually.

Code changes? Nope, just time spent mainly in various inspector windows in Xcode getting things set up correctly.

And that’s why I think this transition will be a success—because it was so easy to create universal binaries, thanks to the great work of these folks and the hands-on help they gave developers at WWDC.



I’m aware that for some developers the transition won’t be so smooth. But it will be smooth for a huge number of developers, and that’s an incredible achievement.

Wet labs

Wet labs 06/17/2004 09:50 AM
I had a long talk with Timothy Falconer yesterday about this, that and the other thing. I'd interviewed him for an article for Wired a few months ago; he's doing some very interesting things with photos and the Semantic Web. This morning he blogs: Yesterday I developed my first "wet-lab" photographic print in more than twenty-five years. What amazes me most is that nearly nothing about it has changed in all that time. The chemicals and equipment all look and work the same, the brand names are the same, the process is the same. This is both surprising and consoling,...
