Automatic updates from the appstore better have a way for developers to pull updates if there's a problem with them (happens way too often)

Is there a way now? I thought the only thing they could do was put up a lame "Hey don't update to this release!" message.

That's why I said there better be a way with the new automatic updates....otherwise people will be ****ed

Voice only Facetime will annoy carriers for sure

Well, I assume most people just hit the "update everything" button without reading the update details, which leads to the same problems auto-update would.

Yeah they're late with a bunch of the features announced today. But so what, do want :D

Whats funny is as soon as the radio feature was announced Pandora stock went down, but now that people are thinking about it Pandora stock is up and Apple stock is down, and they say during these conferences that Apple is doing that companies stock is usually up which is not the case for Apple. Hopefully people are finally getting smarter now.

By the way as of right now Apple is down about $3 and Google is up about $8 Remember and Apple has the WWDC conference not Google. What this show's me is that people are finally catching on and are getting smarter,

Stock ALWAYS goes down on the day of a conference

I would suggest you stay out of the stock market if you think that's indicative of something.

I fail to see why regular users would even care what the stock price of a company is, unless it's abysmally low and the company is about to go under.

Heres a screenshot of the new Mac Pro. I'm wondering if it was it modeled after a wine bottle chiller or a trash can? Apparently with the cover off, it becomes R2-D2!

Not really liking the name "Mavericks," especially when "Cougar" was available.

Of course, do we really even need these code names anymore? Just call it 10.9 and be done with it.

Beta today!! Ok who has a dev account they can get me access for my iPhone 5!???

I'm about to update my ADC info and I believe I still have room for a few more UDIDs.

I don't dislike the look/design of iOS 7, but a ton of third-party apps are sure going to look out of place for quite a while.

A cougar is a puma is a mountain lion is a panther, and they used puma, mountain lion, and panther, I could they could have just beat that horse (cat?) dead and used cougar too. :laugh:

The UI will probably take some getting used to, but I really like the Safari changes. Tabs seems to be laid out in a much better fashion than before. The new Weather app looks pretty impressive, too.

      I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.

    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap by Sayan Sen Last month Mozilla confirmed that Firefox was set to get a major redesign this year. Dubbed "Project Nova", it can already be tested and will roll out to all users later this year.The idea is to keep the browser competitive in a rapidly evolving internet landscape. As such the revamp focuses on improving privacy, usability, performance, accessibility, and customization. Key privacy features including the built-in VPN, private browsing mode, and Enhanced Tracking Protection, will be more visible and easier to manage, while users will have the option to disable AI features entirely through a dedicated kill switch. Additionally, the redesign promises faster page loading, the return of Compact mode, expanded personalization options, and stronger accessibility support. You can find the full details in the dedicated piece linked above. In a new blog post today the company once again reiterated on Nova and also emphasized other new and upcoming features like the settings revamp that is intended to make it easier for users to understand browser settings. In order to make it simpler for users to keep up with such features Mozilla today is launching Firefox roadmap. Hence enthusiasts and interested users will be able to check out what's cooking and also share feedback about the upcoming additions. Alongside the roadmap announcement, Mozilla also highlighted what's new in Firefox 152. One of the biggest additions is the arrival of Tab Groups on Android. The feature, which has already been helping desktop users organize large numbers of tabs, is now beginning to roll out on mobile. Users will be able to group related tabs together, assign names and colors to them, and return to them later. Mozilla says support for iOS will arrive later this year. Firefox 152 also introduces the aforementioned redesigned Settings experience. The company says the changes are meant to make controls easier to find and help users discover features they may not have previously known about. Existing preferences are not changing, though they are now better organized. Another notable addition is the new Blocked Tracker Widget, which provides a visual overview of Firefox's privacy protections by showing how many trackers have been blocked over time and the types of tracking activity the browser has stopped. Looking ahead, Mozilla revealed several upcoming roadmap features. They include customizable keyboard shortcuts, as well as enhanced PDF editing tools that will allow documents to be split, merged, and reorganized directly within Firefox. The company is also working on bringing Multi-Account Containers into the native Firefox experience thus removing the need for a separate extension. Meanwhile Firefox's built-in VPN is set to expand to mobile devices. Mozilla is also developing AI-powered features like Quick Answers, which can provide concise responses to voice queries, and Smart Window, its optional AI browsing experience that is now available without a waitlist. Finally, a new Power Saving Mode is in the works and will help reduce the impact of resource-heavy tabs on mobile devices in order to extend battery life. The video below summarizes the upcoming changes in an easy to understand format: You can find the announcement blog post here on Mozilla's official website.

      Dead on arrival at that price. Like they missed the mark by multiple hundreds of dollars - this should actually undercut the Macbook Air at $899 if they want any sort of sales / further adoption of WoA
