“Bruce Horn, one of the members of the original Macintosh team and the person who designed and implemented (along with Steve Capps) the Finder, is still a Mac user and Mac fan. He’s also developing new projects, including iFile under the banner of his Ingenuity Software company. iFile is an information management system that runs under Mac OS X. Although still in development, Horn thinks that, when it’s completed, it could someday offer “a nice alternative to the Finder.” A new public release is slated for the spring.” Read the rest of the article at MacMinute.

To have an alternative. I hope it will have better search functions than the present finder (this is all I can think of for the moment because I tried it today and finally resorted to the terminal and grep).
its gota be better then the winxp search function; with a little dog 🙂 . And the fact that I need to click through a wizard is anoying.
PS: yes i know that i can turn on the “advanced search” i just think its a shame that its not on already.
Finally! Someone is starting to take the human mind as a reference for the way computers should act, and not the internal workings of the application.
Seriously, who in here is giving every item in his room and shelf names? Why then do computers expect us to identify every file by a name? Humans don’t work that way.
The processor link picks my interest, anyone that claims 10x performance increase for plain untuned C/C++ code has got to be worth checking out, but I thinks Par C/C++ CSP style is the way to get there!
