  • Looks like Apple is going to bring podcasting to the masses. This is exactly what they are so good at doing. Taking something with great potential (and a clunky implementation) and improve the interface to make it usable, beautiful and cool. …

  • The patent illustration looks a lot like the data-PADD devices from Star Trek: TNG. Who is copying who here?

  • Let's not forget the iPhone which will almost certainly be introduced at WWDC... I just hope it is more interesting and innovative than just a standard Moto phone running a mobile version of iTunes. \

  • Yup, Apple are DOOMED!!!
    in Apple = folly - A journalists opinion Comment by jms698 May 2005

    in Spotlight over network? Comment by jms698 May 2005
  • I believe that Avalon creates the user interface in a full 3D scene. Windows can be rotated, twisted, morphed and moved about in all kinds of crazy ways (all of which have zero benefit for the user). It will also mean that the burder of drawing the …
    in OS X Tiger API vs Avalon API Comment by jms698 May 2005
  • I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the real issue that Apple can push in their ads. Security! People are scared. Scared of terrorists, scared of the economy going down, scared of the Internet, scared of their computer doing something weird a…
    in Apple planning Mac-focused TV ad campaign? Comment by jms698 May 2005
  • Ripples aside, eye candy is not simply useless candy, it often serves a real purpose. Exposé, for example, is a great bit of "eye candy" that adds a real value in being able to tell very quickly navigate through lots of open windows. It can't be don…

  • Quote: Originally posted by Mr Beardsley most Dell systems to come with integrated graphics. I remember all the complaints of how slow OS X was with graphics. I imagine there will be lots of complaints with Avalon for XP or Longhorn. That's …

  • Quote: "invent". I think they should change that to "borrow" [/B] Yup, Carly Fiorina destroyed HP's capacity to innovate in an effort to make quick money and please the shareholders.

  • Yes, the CNet article seems more reasonable. Sorry for my unjustified post.

    in Next version of iTunes (iTunes 5?), any word? Comment by jms698 April 2005
  • I've submitted the Spotlight+iTunes idea to Apple using the iTunes suggestions form on Apple's website. Maybe version 5 will pleasantly surprise us. I've heard that Apple (unlike some major software companies ) actually take customer feature sugges…
    in Next version of iTunes (iTunes 5?), any word? Comment by jms698 April 2005
  • Another idea: Integrating Spotlight with iTunes (if this isn't already working in Tiger). At the moment, if I move an MP3 file on the hard drive, the reference to it in iTunes breaks. However, if they iTunes playlists were dynamically built by Spotl…

    in Why not a prepaid iPhone? Comment by jms698 April 2005
  • There seems to be a trend of Amazon pre-announcing things before Apple actually release them. Remember when Amazon listed Tiger's release date a few months back? What is up with them? I wonder how long it will be until Apple Legal goes
