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.

Well, they don't earn anything from that. Why should they sell the machines cheaper? There is no reason for that, because there is no other stuff Apple could sell to the normal user. Everything else (software like Final Cut Pro, Emagic, etc.) is for the power user, and they will buy anyway (hardware and software). So, it is all about profit. And yes, the Panther release is not so innovative, but it shows nice progress of technology introduced with Jaguar. Well, and scrolling is fast enough! Who cares? I mean, if I scroll too fast, I can't read it anymore...where is the point to this discussion?
