WWDC Keynote: A First Reaction
We shall have all the Tiger Tuesday morning quarterbacking you require on, well, Tuesday. However in the meantime, Jason Snell has posted a comprehensive first reaction to Tiger on the Macworld Editor's weblog. Snell makes some points we fundamentally agree with:
But in the meantime, we want to know: what was your reaction to today's keynote?
- Good riddance to ADC
- Spotlight looks to be our favorite feature in the new OS
- Multi-user iChat is something we have longed for since the first time we tried iChat
- We know Tigers are predators, but Dashboard seems positively cannibalistic
But in the meantime, we want to know: what was your reaction to today's keynote?
Unlike the other cannibalizations of previous 3rd party developers, this one seems different to me. By making a widget system free to anyone running 10.4 it empowers a ton of new developers who don't have to worry if someone is running a third party interpreter. Tons of people probably had no idea Konfabulator existed.
It always seemed like the growth of K was hampered by the fee. I stopped working on widgets when I realized my audience was tiny compared to one that could be reached with a simple PHP page. In that respect, I could almost equate this to Apple stuffing a free web server into their OS.
