i look forward to apple longhorn. i want to try the new ‘getaway gallant’ feature showcased at wwdc
Steve made a point of mentioning a meal he shared with Bill G. recently (at All things Digital, in SD methinks) and reminded the audience of the cozy relationship the two companies share. While Steve’s copycat comments may grate at Bill, there isn’t much he can say – it’s so obviously true. But Bill rests with the knowledge that he’ll be the one to rake in the big $$$, while Steve will have to settle for innovator.
Sorry I haven’t posted, Chilli and I just got home from a long walk. In our relationship, Chilli rests with the knowlege that he’ll be the one to take in the big $$$, while I will just have to settle.
I fail to see how “The first half of 2005” is “vague” compared to Microsoft’s “2004, no, 2005, or, well, maybe 2007 or 2008, well, definitely no later than 2009, no, wait, 2006, really, we mean it” shipping date for Longhorn.
Yes macheads in macland “The Chill” is back. Whats the matter guys you all star-struck by seeing Steve “God” Jobs on your computer screens. Its so boring in here. I got something to cheer you all up, its been around awhile but its still great. Check it out:

Stupid mac site didn’t do it right for me. Sorry guys.
that’s a rip-off of the ‘Pete Green’ switch spoof
I enjoyed the switch music with that http://jeremy.zawodny.com/media/bitch.mpg sketch, Chilli. Even as a Mac fan!
Uh, yeah. That bitch.mpg pretty much confirms that people with talent prefer macs…
As a parody it is lame. In fact, I really know of no real “Mac to PC” switchers.
I still prefer the real life switcher events of Ellen Feiss at al.
Urgh! To anyone who hasn’t watched that video yet, do yourself a favour and skip it. Use the time you save to do something more productive, like stare out of the window or try and stick pencils up your nose.
Good video Chilli, call me.

I thought that video was hilarious. I couldn’t stop laughing. “the might blue apple, the mighty blue apple” Hehehe
Brilliant, Chilli ! I wish we could harness that acting talent to work for, instead of against, Apple. Anyway, thanks. I’m still laughing.

Try John Dvorak. Not that he stuck around for OS X.
I think Spotlight is a great concept. For me, this alone is worth the price of Tiger.
Apparently, Spotlight can allow searched by Time/Date, Image, Movie, Test, Music, Document, Presentation, Folder, Application, and Other.
What other search criteria are available? How many indvidual search criteria can be used for one search selection? Can I select muliple “Application”, “Drive”. etc.? Can I search by metadata criteria alone?
I want to be able to predetermine the search criteria before running the search. I do not want to be constantly pressing the “Add” feature to limit the search returns from 75 plus items to the 2 or 3 that I can use.
For example, can I specify PDF files and Quicktime files; with text “PPC”, “dual” and”G5″; for “December 2003”, “25-30 May 2004”, on “External Drive One” and “DVD Drive”, last viewed “June 2004” and “04-08 May 2004”.
If I typically use a specific search or searches can Tiger allow me to pre-set a given template for searches? That is, can I use Automator with Spotlight? Or, is this what the smart folder thing is for? Can I run several searches at 2100 Friday night and wake up Saturday at 0800 and review these searches? Can I run these searches daily to provide me with a continuously updated search folders so I do not have to enter the same input data all the time?
Can I capture iChat video conferences for historical reference?
