[Official] Apple WWDC 2011 Keynote

[rajputwarrior]

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)

[fusi0n]

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.

It's certainly looking good. I think I'll be persuaded to buy

The search looks very very powerful. I might be ditching Sparrow for the new Mail...

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.

[pingloss]

Oooooo...one purchase all machines...nice. In July

[Elliott]

$29?!?!?!!?!?!!? Holy christ.

[NeoXY]

Only $29. Amazing.

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?

[Quillz]

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."

[pingloss]

$29?!?!?!!?!?!!? Holy christ.

Woop woop. I'm sold.

[ATLien_0]

only $29 amazing,

I wonder how they were able to price it that low?

[NeoXY]

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.

[Quillz]

Only $29. Amazing.

Not surprised, Apple's profit margin on their software is probably much lower than their hardware, so they really stand to gain little from charging $129.

eff that. i need lion on my dell mini!

[Leonick]

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

So how will one possibly do a complete reinstall of lion?

Will new Macs coming with lion not have any media with lion on? hmm :/

[rajputwarrior]

By over pricing the hardware you overpaid for.

go away troll

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?

solid questions...

[Roger H. Veteran]

$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!

[NeoXY]

...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...

[pingloss]

I'm sure the dmg will be in the download file somewhere. Hasn't that been the case in the dev previews?

[Manish]

Finally, they're addressing the notifications. Hopefully the iOS stuff is more interesting than the segment about Lion.
