I used to enjoy when Steve Jobs would give presentations “live without a net”.

Steve had backup plans, not to mention very thorough practice sessions. Once, a Mac had froze and he had to switch to a backup one, joking about it with grace.

(Aside: When will AppleInsider fix this broken forum software? Daily headaches)

That was what was so great about it. Even with all the preparations things could still and did go wrong and he had the ability to recover. Just because a theater group rehearses thoroughly doesn’t take away from their performance when the show opens. Just because Eddie Van Halen had decades of music experience didn’t take away from his live performances. He didn’t just play a studio tape for the audience.

Now introducing Apple Intelligence 26

Most of the production work is in the subassemblies not the final assembly.

Do most users want these kind of UI updates? I mostly prefer not changing unless there is a problem. Both in operating systems and applications companies just seem to move things around for the hell of it.
