I wonder if we get to use the + modifier in Google Search again.


Much smaller screens made this a useful function for being able to layer windows, as fake tabs


installed and checked the man page, hmm 'flies like the galaxy express 999' wonder what that is

$ ls -F

dammit!

$ sl -F

So I guess it's corrected my typos already :)


Why did they not name it Apple Juice instead of Airpower? :) If you're referring to the FaceTime announcement, it was a third party that forced them to keep it closed (from memory).


On stage it was stated you needed to be alert and looking at the device, as in eyes open. Sleeping is fine I'd guess :)

If you're worried about people living with you, I'd guess TouchID is already a huge issue.


I feel that Apple knows exactly what it's doing with this feature. There is a strong pull with iMessage for 15-25 year olds in schools, the kind of market something like this will go over pretty well with and potentially create more lock in to their message platform. Along with all the other photo apps that will take advantage of this tech. You could even just look at the Animoji as a tech preview for all the other devs.


Exactly. The Snapchat demo was evidence of how this will be opened up to developers.

The new photo features clearly showed how it will be used by the Instagram crowd as well.


I like the momentum, but on mobile (iPad) each move is a new place in my back history.


Sounds like you're enjoying living where you are precisely because of strangers, some of which I'm assuming you meet ;)


Different kind of stranger relation. Renting with its information asymmetry has a huge potential for creating distrust. Did the landlord hide how nasty the neighbors are? Will the tenant vandalize the apartment?

Backpacking/couchsurfing is much more lightweight.


Well that's half the reason for staying at a backpackers. Forced interaction with lots of strangers, most of whom you will never meet again.


It could also be how they made QuickTime very (more?) unstable on Windows, or the IE extension in OS 9 that WOZ proved to cause the OS to crash.


QuickTime didn't need Microsoft's help. Apple didn't update it aside from security fixes for almost eight years.

As an aside do you have any actual evidence that Microsoft made QuickTime more unstable on Windows? Or is that just supposition?

PS - OS 9, like Windows 9x, lacked protected memory. So I have no doubt that a leak or other error in IE for Mac could cause the OS to crash. I hardly think that's really solid proof, just more proof that operating systems without memory protection are inherently a bad idea.


I think your info is a bit outdated (and some incorrect). Buy a mac (or ignore the Eula and run OS X in a VM), install the dev tools (free), install the app on your iPad (free). If you want to publish, there's a fee (per year).
