Yesterday, Steve Jobs of Apple held his usual keynote speech at the Apple Worldwide Developer Conference at the Moscone Center, San Fransisco. I usually thoroughly enjoy Jobs's keynotes; they are a well-planned piece of theater, complete with drama, comedy, and even action. In between, of course, some new products are announced, and some meaningless figures are given (classic example of spin doctoring: use only the figures of your strongest market, in Apple's case, the US laptop market; ignore the rest). However, this time, the theater part seemed to far outweigh the new-products-part. And that's a shame. Note: The, Tuesday Eve Column.

...and I've been running fluxbox with virtual desktops via XDarwin since the day my powerbook was delivered..... I guess it's nice to have it with the main WM but still... this is something I've already been doing with mac os x. I would have preferred steve to say something like "we promise to help gimp and gnucash developers create native versions of their wonderful free applications so that sequethin (that's me) wont have to run X on his mac anymore!"
