Star Apple on WWDC: Innovation or Catch Up?
Linked by Eugenia Loli-Queru on Tue 24th Jun 2003 15:32 UTC
Apple I was present at Apple's WWDC yesterday and witnessed one of the historical moments in Apple's history, the introduction of their 64-bit platform. Am I impressed? The answer is complicated. I was happy to see Apple moving on and deliver. But I would have expected nothing less from a 4 billion tech company who had the need to catch up with the "other" platform, the 32-bit PC. You all heard by now what's new in yesterday's press releases and news coverings. But here is a wrap up of the first day of the conference and a commentary on what Apple really announced yesterday, underneath its surrounding distortion field.

> since in another year of optimizations and hardware speedups, OS/X will be as fast as BeOS *and* have the cool features too.

Sorry, but OSX is out for 2-3 years now. If you are telling me that I had to wait FOUR years in order to get something as simple as smooth scrolling/resizing, then I find the Apple decision to go with vectors, BAD.
