Alright, I’m not diving that far into this, but here’s the deal: WWDC is approaching, Jobs will speak about OS X Leopard, and will most likely unveil the “top secret” features Apple has kept under wraps. But these secrets could blow away the idea of an operating system as we know it. See, the next incarnation of OS X might be animated is what I’m trying to tell you and it’s making us all very excited.
The secret sauce is Apple’s Core Animation. Powerful just like Quartz (Apple’s Quartz that is), Core Animation will allow programmers and developers to really do some amazing visual stuff, which in turn will change the way programs for OS X are made. Leopard is said to have a few nice APIs to develop with and that they’ll end up “changing the way programmers think”. Sounds groovy, Apple. Get a move on and unveil those top secret features already.
Kiss Boring Interfaces Goodbye With Apple’s New Animated OS [Wired]
what about those of us who avoid eye candy to begin with, and have turned off Apples ‘helpful visual cues’ because they look ridiculous and actually slow us down? ZFS is the only compelling thing I’ve heard about the update.
Yes….apple adds just way to much junk to their OS…
Most the stuff they give you free…. Imove, Iphoto, and others are just crap anyway..
Give up something usefull for a change….
Well at least they haven’t fill their computer full of trial versions of crap as of yet…….
It will come in time tho….
