WWDC 2007 Keynote Coverage

Im really hoping for Imac. Waited a few months for it D:

You and me both, this leaves me angry.

It's been needed for a while. And with FasterFox and Adblock, I still love FireFox and believe it's more useful than Safari. Perhaps if Safari had extensions, with tons of user-created add-ons (like FireFox) to make it your own customized browser, I'll start using it more. Until then, I still love Firefox

I was just going to write this myself - I cannot imagine using any browser that doesn't have as many extensions as Firefox does. Extensions are what make Firefox uber cool!!! I don't mind an extra second of rendering or Javascript processing if the extensions make my life livable. I can't live without Firefox extensions - the only thing close to it could be Dashboard widgets for the same purposes, but then, Dashboard performance is not that great.

P.S.: Safari has some plugins, but they still don't match the breadth of Firefox extensions.

Still no mention of iLife ... I was hoping to at least hear it would be bundled with Leopard.

Yes, that's very odd, I guess there won't be a iLife '07/iWork '07.

...unless they're released without an announcement (WWDC isn't really the right place).

Don't care about iPhone right now, as the battery life is too short and the AT&T network is horrible in Arizona. *sigh* Why is the store down if there are no hardware announcements?!

iPhone orders maybe?

Guys - remember this is WWDC, not MacWorld, with the focus on developers and developer tools.

a computer is a developer tool

 

[Igantius]

Yes, last year they unveiled the Mac Pro

And in the preceding years?

 

[kingofkolt]

I DO think the 10 features are really cool, they just aren't ones that we didn't already know about (with a couple exceptions). So I can't be too disappointed. It's still a great OS, probably way better than Vista.

 

[g-7]

Windows > Mac OS?

So, Windows users get Safari 3 today for free (public beta), but Mac OS X users have
to wait till October and buy it together with Leopard for $129?

Please someone tell me I am wrong.

 

[mongoos150]

And in the preceding years?

Do a bit of research? Google is your friend. Wikipedia is an even bigger friend.

 

[kcross]

i don't think they'll do a major macpro update soon. maybe just bring the lower end of the line up to speed.

 

[timmillwood]

no mention of ZFS!

 

[FF_productions]

Do they normally unveil hardware at WWDC?

The PowerMac G5 and the Mac Pro were unveiled at WWDC.

 

[relimw]

Steve needs to get a grip on reality, Safari isn't a "One more Thing..." kind of announcement....

 

[Am3822]

You have a point there, I guess, and in that context, the 64bit 'top to bottom' thing is important. Mind you, it's under the hood -- so most won't see / care about it.

While we're at it, what about the ZFS thing?

 

[88kin]

anything else??

 

[88kin]

that's it???

 

[mongoos150]

Steve's back on stage...

 

[EricNau]

So, the truth of the matter is, Leopard got delayed because Apple was devoting their resources to a free Windows app?

That makes sense.

 

[kingofkolt]

The End.

 

[fivetoadsloth]

i don't think they'll do a major macpro update soon. maybe just bring the lower end of the line up to speed.

They at least need to up the base ram to 2 gig, the macbook pro has 2 gig base now.

 

[Taylor C]

Looks like that's it.

 

[meagain]

It's over?

 

[Spizzo]

One more thing?

 

[mongoos150]

He's summarizing...

 

[pavelbure]

what a waste of my time.
