Finally made it in to the Keynote. Cover your ears. I’m PISSED! Get here at 8:00am and miss the first 25 minutes of the Keynote! That sucks!
Anyway, CNET is live-blogging at: Live blog: WWDC 2009 keynote so I was able to follow the Mac H/W announcements.
They are now talking about Snow Leopard, the upgrade to Leopard. It was supposed to be just about bug fixes, but all they are showing is new features!
- Expose and Spaces now have better integration. Click and hold on dock icon, and see all open windows for that app.
- Very cool new features in safari - cover view browsing through history, with each page shown graphically.
- Quicktime now allows you to trim and share videos while viewing.
- All major system applications are running in 64-bit mode. Description of how Grand Central Dispatch takes advantage of multicore.
- Exchange support will now be included in Mail, Address Book and iCal.
Observation: Just like last year, the applause is only in the Keynote room. The overflow room is silent. I wonder if the applause is from plants?
- Available for all Intel Macintoshes, past and present. Leopard is $129. Snow Leopard is a $29 upgrade for Leopard users. OK, that one got applause. $49 for family pack.
- Available in September. Developer preview today.
