Some interesting quotes I’ve picked up so far:<\/p>\n
Interesting time here at WWDC. Had martinis with some of the office:mac MacBU team, and heard some interesting things. The traditional AU\/NZ party, which had Andrew giving us even more drink coupons than we bargained for. Then on to blogger party, which had drinks served by NewsGator (now I feel a whole lot more fuzzier paying for NetNewsWire!), and the next major event would be the Campus Bash. Food this year was sparse (i.e. I didn’t seem to get any, as they’d cleared up).<\/p>\n
It’d seem like WWDC is an annual event of fun. And it is. The real value of which stems from the fact that you might have 4-6 coffees a day, learn a lot, and then move on to 4-6 beers a night. Throw in bagels in the morning (mmm, yum, I wish more bagel stores were around in Melbourne), a fairly healthy lunch of salads (perils of talking and going to lunch too late), and pizza for dinner and its quite heavenly.<\/p>\n
Leopard has been previewed, and every other blog or news site has written about it. All I can say (without violating the NDA) is that there are some cool features abound when 10.5 comes out. By then, Vista would have come out. And the expectation of a “Linux desktop” would have dramatically shifted (among the home users, at least – corporations I still have hope for).<\/p>\n
It is however interesting to see that Apple seems to be “ripping” features out of the Linux desktop. Spaces? Hello virtual workspaces. Then there are some sillies, like encouraging HTML email via “templates”.<\/p>\n
One interesting feature seems to be the CalDAV server. (Keeping up with the Forge trend), check out Collaboration<\/a> on Mac OS Forge<\/a>.<\/p>\nShare this:<\/h3>
