[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...

    • But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.
    • Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
