On Opening The iLife Standards Adam Bridge has put together a good presentation for why Apple needs to open the hooks for the new iLife suite of applications. He's right. Apple's basing their system on Unix, an open standard. Keynote, also, an open standard. Address Book, an open API. Apple needs to open the hooks to all its stuff. It's opening the "You can do this" statement to increasing the value of Apple's own stuff. 8:18:45 PM comment []

Expo Day Three Update Picked up a few things today, in addition to going to a few sessions. Bought an AeroNET wireless card for my bronze laptop, since it's OS X 10.2.3 compatible and the drivers work pretty well. Should be a quality thing to make that machine more usable. Also picked up a two button mouse from Adesso that's awesome: it's like the apple pro mouse, but it lights up blue in the scroll wheel and is two button. Also got a charger for my T68i charger that's USB based. It jacks into the USB port on my TiBook and charges. Slick, eh? The guys from Timbuk2 sold me a TiBook sleeve for my current El Ocho bag. Clips shut at the top, and provides good padding. Very excellent. Tried to go to the SF Bloggers lunch, but I think I missed them by about 5 minutes, it was disappointing. Next time, I guess. Tonight is the Online Tonight party down at Gordon Biersch. We'll head down there in a little bit. In town? Reading my blog? Drop a comment and we'll see if we can chat tomorrow.
Tomorrow's Schedule:
10:30a Best of Mac Secrets Room 308 |

Expo Update Day Two Expo Update, Day Two. Expo's not as heavily attended as I would have hoped, but in some ways, I'm glad it's not. The crowds are manageable, but not sparse, either. The booths are full, but the floor seems more dead than in the past.
Notes from Expo:
- The new 12" iBooks are separated at birth from the 12" TiBooks.
More later. |
