Full Transcript of Apple's WWDC 2014 Keynote: OS X 10.10, iOS 8, and More [Keynote Ended]

Google

All this search stuff is another bullet fired at Google.
It is all very simple. Everything useful gets built into the OS. If you don't control the OS you are at the mercy of the person who does control the OS.

 

[SHNXX]

Apple TV feed stopped

 

[sonicrobby]

So far nothing exciting

Agreed, Im currently at a negative on it because of the design but waiting for the WOW feature to convince me to upgrade.

 

[Knockoutjosie]

developer page is under maintenance

 

[lilo777]

So far nothing exciting

Are you for real? What about energy efficient multi-tab browsing in Safari?

 

[chrisbru]

Does spotlight use Google search engine? If it does not how exactly can it replace Google search. Remember in search the most important part is not on your computer it's on the server.

It queries things like Wikipedia and such. So it actually can replace Google search for some searches.

Are you for real? What about energy efficient multi-tab browsing in Safari?

We'll see

If by energy efficient, they mean iOS 7 tab reloading, they can keep it



I don't like Safari being shoehorned into the OS. What if I want safari upgrades and literally nothing else?

 

[dec.]

actually

Apple claims the patent for it (whether or not they invented it is a different matter)

But in a tech doc that Apple gave to Samsung pre-trial, Apple accused them of stealing the patent on transparent items on a solid background

So nobody is claiming that they have invented it. Like you say - different matter. Thanks for the confirmation, nothing to see here.

Favicons in Safari?

The lack of favicons in Safari is the primary reason I prefer Chrome and Firefox. I really hope there's a setting to show favicon, but I'm doubtful.

Finally cross-platform Airdrop!

 

[D.T.]

Airdrop between iOS and OSX! What a “no brainer”. Finally.

This handoff technology is pretty damn slick.

 

[BJMRamage]

Air Drop!!!!


excellent

 

[Hustler1337]

FINALLY Airdop and iOS cross-compatibility!!

 

[deluxeshredder]

Continuity has been long awaited.

 

[tomnavratil]

About time with AirDrop, good!

Doesn't it probably use Google's engine?

...

Which, given #5, really shows that Tim Cook is purposeluy trying to pick and choose statistics to make Apple seem way more dominant in the cmputer marketplace than they truly are.

Don't get me wrong, 50% adoption of Mavericks is great for the Apple community, but it doesn't, nor can it easily be compared to Windows upgrades like Tim Cook, and yourself wants to believe

While you certainly have a point, I don't see how absolute numbers are relevant here. Proportions of the user base are much more important because this has high importance to the developer. Newer OS means new APIs and functions. If I know that 50% of the Mac user base are using Mavericks, then I (as a developer) might be more eager to integrate certain Mavericks-only features. If I know that only 14% have it, then I'd rather rather target the other 86%.

 

[amirite]

Okay this is really really cool.

 

[billchase2]

Loving Continuity.

 

[deluxeshredder]

Apple TV feed stopped

Web feed is OK.

 

[TsunamiTheClown]

Wow handoff actually is looking freaking awesome.

 

[Mackie924]

Handoff looks pretty cool, even though I don't use iOS devices.

 

[carjakester]

fantastic airdrop capabilities

 

[The Doctor11]

Every thing I'm hearing sounds awesome

 

[chirpie]

OK, that proximity awareness is kinda nifty.
