That was one chatter's opinion. I don't know yet. I have to watch the stream. I listened to an audio feed and I've seen the promo bits at Apple.com. The translucent menu bar is just crazy. That they made the menu's less translucent has to say something. In fact, I think the Mac OS X menus have become more opaque since 10.0. Anyway, I wasn't blown away because eight of the ten features shown at the keynote were shown at WWDC in 2006. Has the iPhone sucked up that many resources at Apple?
I've read the Safari 3 beta for Windows runs on W2K as well as XP & Vista. I'll have to try it out there. I will say it's dramatically faster on Tiger than Safari 2 or the "webkit nightlies" I've used until Camino 1.5 hit the streets. Clearly there's been a lot more performance available on older hardware but software just hadn't been sufficiently tuned. I will say Apple's been pretty good at that. Each Mac OS X major update has improved performance. I was among those disappointed there were no hardware updates.
I was fill-in DJ last night. My song choices got good reviews. I wasn't totally happy with two or three but overall it worked out. There were some technical hiccups early and then about three quarters through the show there was an encoding incompatibility which blew things up for a bit but nothing I couldn't handle. This was a good thing since I was the support staff for my show.
Picking songs for others entertainment is more difficult than for your own and the licensing scheme brings legal limitations about how often an artist can be played, not using multiple tracks from a single album, the hour delay before playing requests... and so forth. It's been an interesting experience and taxing in different ways.
I want to thank Leon for tuning in during work although he sacrificed chance at a lunch other than ramen to do so.
Since I didn't sleep much yesterday, I'm exhausted. However, I'm loathe to turn in just yet. My eyes ache with tireness so I may not have much say in the matter of staying up a few more hours. I still need to double-check on the meat recall expansion. Grr. That can wait for another day.
