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&#8217;t seem to get any, as they&#8217;d cleared up).<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;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.

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 &#8220;Linux desktop&#8221; would have dramatically shifted (among the home users, at least &#8211; corporations I still have hope for).<\/p>\n<p>It is however interesting to see that Apple seems to be &#8220;ripping&#8221; features out of the Linux desktop. Spaces? Hello virtual workspaces. Then there are some sillies, like encouraging HTML email via &#8220;templates&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>One interesting feature seems to be the CalDAV server.
