Summer Time!

So, it's summer, and it is so with a vengeance! It's more or less 30 degrees Celsius in the shade, and that is just a little bit to hot really. Especially since I might have to do some 45 cubic meters of firewood next weekend. Ah, well.

So, there are some really interesting things coming up this month. For Mac fans it's the WWDC on the 11-15 June, so it starts today. We're expecting, I think, to see what Mac OS X Leopard will be all about and more news on the ever popular iPhone and Apple TV. Among the rumours are SDK's for both of them (iPhone SDK rumour). On the Mac side, who knows. The news have been many so far, uprated MacBooks, Eight core MacPro's and improved MacBook Pro's. Hopefully even more kick in the existing line up, a cheaper Mac Mini, even though there are rumbling of it's immediate demise. A new iMac would also be appropriate.

Other than that, I personally hope we'll see a new subnote MacBook, a MacBooklet or something, though memory might still be to hard to come by. And let's hope that they at least hint at new and improved iLife and iWork, the pro apps (Final Cut Studio 2, Aperture, Logic Pro, Shake) have gotten a boosting, so why not us!

As a final note some up-dates. There is FINALLY a new Netscape for the Mac. The skipped version 8 and released Navigator 9, and it is actually really good. But then again, it is just FireFox with some extras from Netscape/AOL. But it looks very nice, and works well. So for those nostalgic persons out there!

More importantly Camino 1.5 is finally here! Newer and betterer in every way, try out the Macs favourite gecko!

May your Mac's grow and flourish!

"Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works."
Steve Jobs

Almost everything--all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure--these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
Steve Jobs
