"If I have seen further it is only by standing on the shoulders of giants." - Isaac Newton
Ironic the quote you chose, as the comment was probably a sarcastic remark attributed to Newton toward the brilliant Robert Hooke (who was apparently short of stature) and with whom he was in dispute.
I don't directly agree with Tallest Skil but I certainly agree with him indirectly.
Just look at iPhone/Touch apps on the iPad. It's the same primary I/O just a different size and yet it's a very poor experience. Now imagine that switched to an even larger display and then having to use a mouse instead of touch interface.
If there is one thing we've seen Apple try to avoid over the years it's a bad user experience, which is probably why they Retina Display-compliant Phone/Touch apps to run in the old 480x320 resolution. They want apps to be native. The fact they included it at all was because there was no app market for the iPad but I bet if they could back to January 2010 they wouldn't have included that option at all.
What I'd like to see at WWDC next week is an SDK that can create a single universal app that is idealized for the iPhone/Touch, iPad and Mac UIs.
in the last two years Apple has introduced the touch UI Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad for desktops. getting us ready ...
also Apple has standardized all its displays @ 16:9 aspect. which would work good with apps that run on Apple TV, if we ever get those.
not to say i expect this all to happen, but it means it all could.
Oh, is the 272% including iDevices? That's idiotic; just put them all in one or don't have iDevices at all.
The 272% includes iPad sales, but not other iOS devices. It may seem idiotic because you want them included or excluded without differentiation to the Mac, but that's the point. The original graph was used, along with a blog post, to explain why IDC and Gartner should include iPads in statistics for PC sales. IDC and Gartner have been separating the iPad, categorizing it as a media tablet, while tablets that run Microsoft Windows are counted as PCs, despite evidence that iPads are competing with laptops. The original graph and article can be found here:
I'm betting that if Twitter is rumored to be integrated into iOS 5 at the lowest possible level then it might just mean that it makes use of the new notifications system for new tweets received etc. Basing the idea of the new notifications system on the hiring of the Jailbreak notifications guy.
We'll probably see Apple change the way iPod/iPhone only-apps display on the iPad, by using the higher resolution graphics (for retina screens) to pretty much fill the screen, instead of how it currently works by the user having to press the 2x button to fill the screen with stretched graphics.
Also, the WWDC image has a "hidden" number "5" or "S" in it, whichever way you look at it. Might be interesting to see what that means...iOS5 is an obvious one, but maybe a one more thing iPhone 5? We shall have to wait and see, can only speculate!
I wouldn't mind having Twitter and Facebook integration at a low level in iOS.
Notification would be what I consider to be high level and shallow integration. What I'm thinking is more likely a unified authentication system where you have your FB and Twitter credentials locked behind your Apple ID.
Thus when you wish to grant an app FB or Twitter access you simply plug in your Apple ID and if you have multiple FB or Twitter accounts you are prompted to choose that account. Voila.
Well Jobs is renown for his success of parting FOOLS from their cash and as usual there is an excess of examples in this thread.

WTF "6 month" leave are you talking about? Is it your stupidity,delusion or BOTH? His medical leave message from the start of the year mentions tellingly NO finite time for his absence. On the contrary if it wasn't for the level of crApple cult delusion those familiar with Jobs messages about his health( ie the progression of ultimately TERMINAL cancer despite all his FAILED(to make much difference) deceitful/nefarious attempts to delay it by abusing his wealth/influence behind all that mountain of sick apple spin/deceit) would note the for THE FIRST TIME, the OMINOUS ABSENCE (EVEN of the slightest inference) of Jobs upbeat statement that HE **WILL** BE BACK working at Apple.He is saying GOODBYE to Apple, to YOU - even his conceited arrogance can't delude of his unavoidable fate now! Yes of course he remains involved in "strategic decisions for the company" which naturally is CLASSIC crAPPLE FUD for (barely) nodding his head (or not) while lying on his death bed, the focus he mentions which will become an exponentially greater part of his life as this year progresses.

OMFG just when you thought the depths to which delusion here could not be surpassed.

Endless crApple fagbois compassionately line up to help distressed customer "STFU with YOUR whining and MAKING up problems U DUMB c*nt - Who the FCUK exactly uses a mobile to phone people!!DUUUHH!????HONESTLY!" etc)
Remember the "lovely" ( as in "lovely" Jobs) McCanns who were positive despite a COMPLETE lack of (McCanns/Tapas cohorts/collaborators independent) evidence their daughter Madeleine was ABDUCTED.Naturally NONE of the UKs psychologists have access to the McCanns private medical/(any)mental reports,they have no more inside information on the couple then your regular members of the public have access to, just everything available from the media/internet. Yet AMAZINGLY a popular theory/belief many experts in psychology came to independently was a diagnosis of BOTH the McCann parents as having acute NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY DISORDER thus supporting the unlikeliness of (the McCaans cover up/orchestrated) little Maddy's abduction ( HOWEVER before anyone gets carried away , there is absolutely NO evidence/theory they are murderers)
What has this do with Jobs impending doom? Well Medical Cancer specialists( oncologists) have naturally never seen Jobs private Medical records(yeah thats familiar - its the usual dumb fanboi parroted SQUAWK when EVER there's the SLIGHTEST suggestion that Jobs isn't immortal is made) containing his treatments and progression of his neuroendocrine cancer, only whats from the media/net yet many of them too have independently have come up with the same theory/beliefs/predictions( God even completely non - expert me has stumbled near their diagnosis/predictions,i'm sure i mention some major metabolism pancreas produced hormone produced excessively from the cancer metastasizing all around his body being responsible for the usual deceitful "hormone imbalance" in an earlier post) that have been tellingly accurate about Jobs that is currently end state metastatic insuloma (despite there never being an official release of such detailed diagnosis, OF COURSE it crApple/Jobs cash + greed over integrity ANYDAY.)
So Jobs chances of seeing the new year are SLIM but his final death throw crys won't be the only ones - with his IMMINENT demise which you fanbois are SO IN DENIAL of ,your cries of pain as you fall on your own daggers of delusion + your conceits are shattered will be JUST as DEAFENING + thoroughly deserved from the suffering your sick cult/fanaticism has needlessly caused so many innocent others.
This is actually the maddest paragraph I have ever read.

Nope, the next two were madder. Something about the McCanns, although fairly incomprehensible. An apparent delight in Job's supposed death, and then

Apparently the very existence of the "Apple cult", those of us who don't use CAPITALS everywhere, has needlessly caused "pain" - at least I think that is what we needlessly caused - to many innocent others. Possibly this includes Madeline McCann. It is hard to tell.
Anyway, joking aside. sp.8472, you may not realise this - the mad never do - but you do need to see a doctor. Stop trying to diagnose Steve Jobs condition and diagnose yourself. There isn't a medical professional in the world who wouldn't - upon seeing that screed - recommend your incarceration, or at the very least, massive does of medication.
I know that is common on the internet - you need to take meds, dude - I am not engaging in any kind of ad hominem. You do need to see a doctor. Nobody sane writes like that.
Well Jobs is renown for his success of parting FOOLS from their cash and as usual there is an excess of examples in this thread.
Psychology textbook writers, look no further for a fine illustrative example of pathology expressed through writing.
This person's past posts reveals a chilling focus solely on matters of Steve Jobs' health. It might be a responsible move for moderators to alert Jobs' security people. He might only be a crank, but he actually could pose a problem.
A number of us have asked the moderators to ban this person, but nothing seems to have been done.
I'm kind of shocked this loon hasn't been banned before now-- a quick look at his posting history shows he's been shrieking about Jobs and the horribleness of Apple's users for a couple of years-- often in huge, multi-colored type.
Unlike the usual garden variety troll this fellow seems to be actually unwell, or is doing a pretty credible job of playing an unwell person on the internet.
Banned, posts hidden and hopefully soon, nuked IPs.
I'm in agreement with others, it really disturbs me this joker had been allowed to go on for so long. I don't know what happened, maybe fell through the cracks, but I'm not convinced that the report post feature is working very well.

Don't worry, there are a lot of modern medications that do help. From personal experience, I don't think the medication is a cure or a tool to "normalise" everyone to fit in, it just takes the edge off so one can operate a tiny bit better in this world before they move on to wherever they are destined to go.
The Divine will sort things out, eventually, one way or another, this lifetime or the next.
From what you all have quoted, Jobs and Apple just seems to be the fixation on his view of "all the problems of the world". It gets that way sometimes. I still think there are many problems in the world, and Jobs isn't perfect, but if there were more "evil" people to be fixated on I'd choose maybe Gadaffi, Sepp Blatter, Ryan Giggs (accused of cheating with his brother's wife for 8 years), Palin, Tom Cruise... heck, even my own Prime Minister of my country is one dodgy bas*ard.
Like I said, the paranoid/ deep hatred-fixation is probably a symptom of pyschosis, with medication it is likely the doctors will get to the underlying cause of his troubles.
I wish all to be well and blessed, even though sometimes in my life it is a confusing menagerie of experiences and memories I try to sort out.
