Fun Quotes from a WWDC blog.

From the WWDC blog Atomic Birdhouse: This is like saying they've invented a perpetual motion machine. It's got to be in violation of the first law of thermodynamics, or something like that. Doughnut consumption is how programmers visualize infinity. Don't try to imagine how many stars there are in the universe, imagine how many doughnuts your programming team would eat before they were done. It's a nice, concrete example of an abstract concept, and as of today it's been destroyed. Apple has produced infinity right here, in the form of a sugar-coated toroidal package that goes well with coffee.
I'm concerned that maybe the Krispy Kremes are reproducing faster than they can be eaten.
Then there's this gem: In my continuing collection of WWDC session quotes, a new feature in Cocoa means that developers can now "Poof it up". In the USA this means something to do with the little explosion-style cloud you get when you drag something off of the Mac OS X dock. In the UK and Austria male developers need a dress, high heels, and makeup to do this properly.
You need to be reading his site, it's hilarious.
