[Official] Apple WWDC 2011 Keynote


Recommended Posts

With delta updates, in app purchases, and push notifications tied into the MAS in Lion, what's not to love? :p

lol fair enough. mail looks better do. don't think it'll get me away from sparrow though, love it.

also all the new features in mail are things other apps/web apps have alreasy. the new UI is nice thuogh.

also i want some more technical info, like are they actually killing support for 32 bit CPUs.

also finder has tabs now? or is more useful, cause i effin hate the default finder (:wub: totalfinder though)

i don't mind it, it's convenient.

I don't know, i think i'm still not 100% confortable with my mac yet..still getting used to it.. I don't like the Window Managers, file managing seems to be more time comsuming than Windows or Linux. I am always moving files and organizing them (1000 songs week(i am in 3 record pools for DJing) and other file types like logos, drops). Maybe, I'll get used to it.

i duno how much i like the no scrollbars visible thing, there should be some kinda indicator that there is scrolling available... to have it only so you know if you try to scroll is a little odd

On the most recent Lion build, I noticed that if the page I was viewing was being live updated, the scroll bars would re-appear for a second to indicate there was new content.

usually i don't care much for organzing that stuff, that's what spotlight is for (and itunes for music). i do put albums in their own folders though.

Lion only available on the App store. No physical media will be available.

that sucks, how am i suppose to get it on my hackintosh :( 30 dollars is nice though. I guess this is how they are trying to combat piracy and hackintoshes?

Kinda disappointed that they didn't demo any thing that we didn't already know from Lion. Was hoping for more new NEW features. But guess not.

It's probably an indication there really isn't anything new in Lion that hasn't already been shown off.

Just like with Leopard, those "250 new features" will probably have 10-15 things in Mail alone, like "widescreen layout" and "improved search."

Everyone who was bitching about the App store, time to suck it up. The ship have sailed. Looks like Apple is leading by example killing off the disk version of the OS.

And I still don't think that's necessarily a good thing, I would still prefer to have the option of a physical copy of Lion. Obviously, I can still do this by burning the DVD myself or putting the image on a USB drive, but I just think there should always be a physical fallback.

As we saw with some of the DP releases, lots of people ran into issues when trying to download and install Lion from the App Store. Also, with Lion being entirely digital, how will one now do a completely clean install?

$29 is pretty smart. They've been doing the samething for a while. It makes the user think, "Oh man, $29, that's super cheap!" But yeah, the only way to use said $29 cheap software is to buy a nice new Mac :) Apple ain't no dummy, they are a hardware company, not software like Microsoft. So hell yeah, make some cheap stuff (good though!) and then people will have to buy your expensive hardware to run it anyways since it can't be used anywhere else*

* - minus some skills from a Hackintosh peoples.

All in all, i'm pretty stoked to!! :woot:!!!!111!

...how will one now do a completely clean install?

My question as well. But i'm sure someone somewhere will figure something out. It's not that hard to rip the DMG from the app store.

And on your point. Only people with Snow Leopard can get the App Store (correct me if I'm wrong). How will people on Leopard and Tiger upgrade without a disk?

Questions, questions...

    • I wonder how many are laid off for cost savings, and this being blamed on AI to make it sound less scary and bad, for a more positive "modern, with the times" spin for investors? Because Oracle is down 14% the past year. We're looking at a company struggling here. If AI would actually be working out so well for them that they can do massive layoffs, surely this would've been reflected the past year in their stock value?
    • AI is the beginning, wait until real robots replace more jobs, specifically jobs that require physical work.
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it by Hamid Ganji There’s no question that AI has become the hottest trend in workplaces, and every company is trying to adopt AI-driven solutions across its operations. While some industry leaders repeatedly say AI won’t lead to massive layoffs, recent data suggest that AI is actually one of the main reasons some companies are reducing their workforce. According to Oracle’s annual regulatory filing, the company has laid off about 21,000 employees, or 13% of its workforce, amid increasing AI adoption. “The adoption and deployment of AI technologies across our operations have resulted, and may continue to result, in reductions to our workforce,” Oracle said in the filing. The software giant now has approximately 141,000 full-time employees, a notable decrease from 162,000 during the same period last year. Restructuring expenses, including severance payments, cost Oracle $1.84 billion in fiscal 2026. Additionally, around 49,000 Oracle employees were based in the U.S., while approximately 92,000 were employed internationally. Like many other companies, Oracle has fully embraced AI and concentrated much of its efforts on the technology. The company is also a key participant in the United States’ $500 billion Stargate Project, which aims to build multiple AI data centers across the country. When it comes to AI adoption and its impact on the workforce, opinions remain divided. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, whose company has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the AI boom, recently said in an interview that attributing job cuts to AI is a “lazy” narrative. “The narrative that connects AI to job loss, for many of the CEOs that are doing it – it is just too lazy. AI has just arrived, how is it possible they're already losing jobs?” Huang said. However, statistics and recent reports tell a different story. According to Layoffs.fyi, 196 tech companies have laid off about 119,800 employees so far this year. Reducing staff and replacing roles with AI agents could become one of the most significant trends in the job market in the years ahead.
