Performance of code generated by C++ compiler is better than before. "Going from something that was mediocre at best to something that is truly outstanding."

Yup, "late summer" in apple-speak means the absolute last day of summer... what day is that anyway?

NetInstall enables admins to boot off network image and install and build that machine, completely automatically

THANK GOD! With support for ASR for OS X being.. uhmm.. non-existant, this is GREAT news.

Uh, ASR has been available for OS X for awhile:

Perhaps your organization isn't important enough to have been informed about it?

They already mentioned usb printer sharing.

Sherlock 3

ls -al · May 6, 2002, 01:43 PM

Sherlock 3!Pure HTML rendered into Sherlock 3, making it easier to preview content. New channels, new emphasis on channels (like Yellow Pages, for example). Bereskin showed example by pulling up directions and other information about local eateries.

BRussell · May 6, 2002, 01:45 PM

Hmm sounds like Sherlock 3 is taking a page from Watson with its new emphasis on channels.

QuickTime 6. Jobs: "Integrated into Jaguar." Highest quality video, open standard.

Maybe that's part of 10.2's delay?

Mongrel · May 6, 2002, 01:45 PM

I can't beleive you people haven't mentioned GPU integration ONCE?!?! What's wrong with you? That's the only news I'm waiting for.

I'm embarrased for myself when I get up from my G4/400 running X to enjoy the pleasant navigation/responsiveness I get back on my girlfriend's laptop running XP. A COMPAQ of all things! Luckily for my Mac, that's where my main internet portal and Mail comes in...

GPU! GPU! GPU! GPU!

what does that mean? wasn't qt already integrated?

People actually *use* sherlock for anything other than finding files?

Finding files was the *last* thing you wanted to do with Sherlock before 10.1.4.

Colonel Panic · May 6, 2002, 01:49 PM

so Sherlock 3 will basically take a lot of Watson functionality? So they invite the Watson guy onstage one year to show how easy and effectively cocoa development can be, and then integrate similar functionality into the OS in the next release, hammering Watson?
Or is Sherlock 3 very different than that?

uochris · May 6, 2002, 01:49 PM

What are the positives associated with a multithreaded finder? Does this mean an end to the spinning beach ball?

No but if they make it more Watsonesque I certainly might...

Of course they are- MacCentral has enough on their coverage page for SpyMac to read and regurgitate.

::maroma:: · May 6, 2002, 01:50 PM

Yeah, anyone heard anything on GPU?

ablaze · May 6, 2002, 01:50 PM

Casanova then demonstrated various QuickTime 6 features.

Now this is interesting: Casanova showing some insightful QT-Movies!

It means the finder won't lock you out everytime you do something. eg. if you sort a view by column then it will do it in the background.

People actually "use" sherlock for anything ?

My strongest wish is that they get rid of this crappy app.

Seems like they found it, like we did...

kman42 · May 6, 2002, 01:52 PM

could non-attending devs view the keynote online after it was finished last year? any hope of that this year?

Yes for the finder thats right. No more waits connecting to servers and iDisks. No more beachball while the finder sorts windows with > 200 files in it.

So is Mr. Jobs, presumably, and that's why he has not mentioned that it is not forthcoming (my guess).

All those speculations about Aqua finally being acceptably fast were probably nothing more than hopeful thinking.

(Well, ther's still hope, of course... about 1/2 hours of it)

Jobs: "This is the start of something very good." Feels that QuickTime 6 is the best MPEG4 technology available.

Zooming supported via Quartz. Screenreader -- cursor over text will read it to you.
