Thursday, 24th August 2006Leopard at WWDC 2006
I'm impressed! I'm not often impressed, especially by lesser operating systems, but I've just sat through Steve Jobs Apple World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2006 keynote speech and I'm impressed! The preview of Mac OS X Leopard looks seriously awesome, and definitely p***es all over Microsoft Vista. To be honest, I've not been impressed with Mac OS X since about the time of Panther. Tiger didn't really add anything that gave what I call the "Wow!" factor. Leopard on the other hand, has left me thinking, "That's seriously innovative, how DID they do that".
Although there are loads of whizzy new features, such as 'Time Machine', new generation iChat and Core Animation, the thing that had me truly impressed was the new 'Web Clips' Dashboard Widget maker. This allows users to arbitarily snip any part of any web page and instantly turn it into a desktop widget (read Konfabulator if you're a PC user) - so you can simply drag a box around Dilbert cartoons to create a widget to bring you up-to-date Dilbert cartoons each day, or any interactive web page you know, to instantly bring a little desktop sticky of it, fully interactive, updating in real-time and instantly available any time you want! Now that IS cool. I'm still trying to fathom out how they've parsed the web page to give any portion you happen to drag over. That's one seriously cool HTML parser!

ugg boots cardy sale said... Obliteration is precisely ugg boots cardy sale what nasa intends for the spacecraft. The reason is that Galileo may still harbor some ugg classic cardy boots signs of life on Earth: microorganisms that have survived since its launch from the Kennedy Space uggs bailey button uk Center, in Florida, in 1989. If the orbiter were left to circle Jupiter after running out of bailey button uggs chocolate propellant (barring an intervention, this would likely happen within a year), it might eventually crash into Europa, one of Jupiter's large moons. In 1996, Galileo conducted the first of eight close flybys of Europa, producing breathtaking sale bailey button ugg boots pictures of its surface, which suggested that the moon has an immense ocean hidden ugg usa bailey button beneath its frozen crust. These images have led to vociferous scientific debate about the prospects for uggs boots life there; as a result, nasa officials decided that it was necessary to avoid the possibility of seeding Europa with alien cheap argyle uggs life-forms. And so the craft has been programmed to commit suicide, guaranteeing a fiery, spectacular end to one of the most ambitious, tortured, and revelatory missions in the history of uggs classic mini space exploration. http://www.uggcardyuk.co.uk/UGG-Classic-Tall-Boots.html XY Sep 2nd, 2010 8:32am
