Tonight (19:00 CET), Apple's CEO Steve Jobs will deliver his keynote speech for the attendants of Apple's Worldwide Developer's Conference in San Fransisco. As always, the Mac world is buzzing with rumours. Firstly, a photo taken with a camera phone suggests Apple will release a sub-notebook, with a 10" LED widescreen, 120GB flashdrive, and a programmable LCD keyboard. Another persistent rumour is that Apple will replace its iMac line with thinner, brushed-metal 20" and 24" iMacs. Lastly, a German website claims to have an outline of the keynote speech - this outline confirms the new iMacs, but also has some interesting notes on Leopard: a unified, standard theme (this alone would make the keynote worthwhile for me), a new Finder, resolution independence, and more. As always, take these rumours with a bag of salt.

Huh, I could swear you had to pay like $129 for each new upgrade to OSX, which come out almost yearly. I guess I was wrong.
It doesn't matter if it's "usable", or anything like that. The point is that Apple likes to use that "Start your photocopiers" crap, then come out with some Vista-like stuff. It's not the latter that I'm really commenting about, but the former and the hypocrisy. Companies SHOULD copy each other though.

A lot of the stuff they are showing right now is reminding me of Vista. CoreAnimation -> Parts of WPF. Translucent menubar (translucent taskbar in Vista). The wallpaper. Some of the demos, like showing videos playing in a grid. Live Preview in finder. The left-side panel in finder. Just a bit amusing.
Don't get me wrong though, there is some cool stuff. I'm enjoying seeing the updates.
