    in After leopard... Comment by dcq August 2006
  • Sigh. Well, I'm disappointed. I was hoping the hype was just market analysts talking to each other and convincing themselves that they knew what they were talking about (as so often is the case). I really feel like Apple is allowing these analysts t…

    in Vista woes helping to build a better Leopard Comment by dcq August 2006
  • By mid-Sept, everything will be updated, except for the Macbook (which will probably be updated by November). I've got to say that I think that Apple's move in offering one configuration for the Mac Pros is a good sign. (It's something I thought…

  • [These aren't OS features, but Apple will market them as such, but anyway... ] Web clips is incredibly simple, but completely amazing. Very useful! I wonder how it works with secure web pages... (I'd like to use it with my webmail from work, whic…

  • Funny in-joke. I wonder if anyone at WWDC got it? I've only seen the original video once. What was it called? (Knowledge explorer or something like that...) Do I win a prize?
