Apple At the 2006 WWDC in San Fransisco, Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced several new products during his opening keynote speech. Read more for a chronological summary of the keynote-- including the much-debated preview of Mac OS 10.5, Leopard, which, according to Steve Jobs, will ship this spring. Update: Apparantly, a similar feature to Time Machine already exists in Linux. It is called 'Dervish'.

>even over a 100Mbps line, it is simply too slow.

I call BS. I regularly use VNC to a Linux server over a 10MB network, and by reducing the colour depth, it is easily usable over a 256k internet connection.

>On top of that i have yet to see a VNC implementation where it doesn't occasionally (or sometimes constantly) forget to update parts of the screen.

This only happens on Windows servers, due to the way VNC does screen capture on Windows, because the "proper" way to do it requires kernel-mode drivers and is largely undocumented. It *never* happens on a Linux or OS X server.

I've seen it happen on my linux boxes, not near as often, but I have seen it, vnc sucks, it's just the nature of the thing
