Actually, I get caught by (1) at least twice a week so I think you've immediately persuaded me. Didn't realise I was such a pushover.
I actually quite like the windowing arrangement of Interface Builder though. And I have Xcode set to the condensed layout (ie, one window listing source files, another window opens for all source files). I've recently been doing some Eclipse development and the all-in-one approach is really bothering me to my mind it makes temporarily hiding the bits you're not interested in a lot more work. Conversely, I'm a big fan of tabbed browsing because it makes getting to the thing you're interested in a lot easier. So I guess it's all measure and degree...
That's coming this summer according to the main safari PR.
Since it's an App Store app and not integrated, it's probably just going to require OS 4.0 which will be out in a couple of weeks.
Yeah, the main reason I've never cared about Firefox!
Since I've never used them on FF, that's why I'm asking if these are the same things. They LOOK the same, but I'm wondering if I'm missing something.
The nice part about having IB and Xcode as separate apps, is that I've configured spaces to give each it's own space. That way when I'm in IB I don't have anything else cluttering up my screen.
No! Say No To Toolbars!
I have, in the course of work as an on-site computer repair person, witnessed installations of Internet Explorer where more than 50% of the vertical screen real estate was taken up by toolbars.
I *REALLY* hope Apple makes some limit on number of toolbars. One or two. If you try to add a third, a chooser pops up "which bar(s) do you wish to keep?" In the chooser, there should be a not-checked-by-default "allow more toolbars" option. Even if you check it, when you go to install another toolbar, the chooser should pop up again, with the box UN-checked by default. The chooser should warn you of the folly of using more than 1-2 toolbars; and third-party toolbars should be readily distinguishable from the standard Safari toolbar.
We do *NOT* need Safari to be the recipient of a dozen simultaneous toolbars.

ummm
ok so after having to search online on just how to even enable extensions so i can install it.. i finally got the gmail extenuation installed right. Now, i want to know how to tell it which account to fetch. I have a few, and I need to know how to tell it which one I want it to check....
anyone here had any luck figuring that out?

I prefer the keyboard shortcuts under FireFox and Chrome. It's annoying to need to install the Logitech software to get my mouse to work with Finder and browsers though.

Here's what the article says:
"Released yesterday to developers at WWDC, the developer preview version of Xcode 4 is subject to Apple's non-disclosure policy for conference attendees, and thus only a few details have managed to leak out so far."
Sounds like conference attendees have a sneak preview.
Patience. You and I will get Xcode 4 in time.
Hehe I'm sure we will
However, I still don't understand why other NDA software (iOS 4, iTunes 9.2 etc) are available to us and Xcode 4 is an exception. You would think that Apple wants all of us paid developers to get our hands on the new IDE, so that we can start complaining
Is anyone else surprised that more info about Xcode 4 hasn't leaked out yet? No screenshots or anything and it's been like 24-hours since it's been made available to the WWDC attendees.
hope the "reload" will become "stop/reload" and will remove the duplicate one from the loading/address bar...
If you're asking for a highly specific and detailed answer from Apple, you have come to the wrong place.Hehe I'm sure we will
Maybe Apple doesn't think it's ready for primetime and would like to keep some of its nastier warts under covers until they can be fixed. (That's purely speculative, by the way. I'm not attending WWDC nor have I located a copy of the Xcode 4 developer preview beta.)
Why does Apple need to waste additional download bandwidth? You're already complaining anyhow. You'll have plenty of time to complain later too.
Very annoyed that the Amazon Search includes the referal ID for the dev. I'll stick to my Amazon search bookmarklet (command-2) that does the same thing but requires no mousing to a text field.
Everything demoed there will be released to the developers shortly after WWDC or till the next milestone build of the software. The preview is just a sneak peek of the software for the WWDC attendants as well as having the engineers there along with the developers for collaboration.
I have shorten 6 pages worth of apps to one page using all folders via iTunes 9.2. I only use spotlight to launch apps, so the folder organization based on app type is pretty amazing. If I need to just play a game and have no idea, I'll just open the games folder. The way you organize apps with folders in iTunes 9.2 is the same way you organize apps on iPhone, you drag the app on top of another app and it'll automatically create a folder.
I use ClickToFlash to block Flash, well, makes it so I have to 'Click-to-Flash' and CosmoPod, which adds a button and lets me download pretty much any Video on the web. Also makes it so when you hold down shift and click on it, it'll load that video out the browser and into Quicktime/VLC.
Comes in super handy!
They both worked on Safari 4 and still work in Safari 5.
That's pretty much all I need. But, I am eager to see what's made!
Something for Facebook, maybe?
One thing though-for a downside. I can see apps bundled with things like 'Toolbars', asking you to install Ask or Yahoo Toolbar! Ughhh.
