New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

I have the impression that HFS+ is seriously locked-in unless there's a really major change needed. They've modified it enough....

There's some intriguing speculation that as SSD drives get cheaper and faster it would be possible to further blur and/or reinvent the delineations between RAM and storage.

Hm. As they get cheaper, they generally have a lower number of erase cycles, which means that they would get destroyed pretty quickly if used for RAM. I guess they put a LOT of extra memory in SSDs to cope with cells getting worn out.

Ned what is that on top? Looks modem-y

I think it's a fan that attached to the back of the Mac. The fanless 128/512/Plus had power inverter boards that burned out over long-term exposure to heat.

it's explained in the comment, stet

eugh hidden by Nu-Flickr. Thanks.

10.10 is gonna be nuts

i hope it's not terrible because the ui of 10.9 is so much better than the ui of ios 6 and is in much less need of a redesign than that was

do you think they'll ever get over "OS X" sounding cool and just move to "OS 11" when there's a major feature change?

i don't know. it doesn't seem like it. like, what would that change be? for them, os x is the same as ios insofar as it denotes the operating system itself. whatever comes after that is the modifier.

you know? like, ios is the thing. os x is the thing.

you're not one of those horrible people who pronounce the 'x' as a letter, are you, markers?

i don't think so

it's a roman numeral, I mean

i totally am. it's more fun!

os x gonna give it to ya!

well, can't argue that

I keep thinking they're going to do something phenomenally silly, like "OS X 11.0"

I have been saying it like the letter X since 2001, thought that was common. how did The Jobs say it?

like this: http://bit.ly/1n2cch4

Yeah, fuk that OS ECKS all the way

do you also pronounce "OS" as osss as opposed to oh-ess

oh-ess-ecks

oh-sexxx

I say oh ess ecks and thought everyone else did

yep

can't youtube at work, markers. can you spoil it for me?

"i'm absolutely thrilled to give you this sneak peek of just a few of the many features coming in mac os x ("mack oh ess ten") lion" - craig federighi @ back to the mac event in 2010

oh ess ten

ty

xpost yes, that would be the way to pronounce it

oss sexy

good stuff in fred vogelstein's book about the development of the original iphone

it's called "dogfight"

I like saying oh ess ex (multiple tenposts)

hah

nope. it's "aw, sex!"

took me almost a year to stop calling iOS "eye-oss"

But that's its name

The times, they are a-changin’.

deep insight thanks john

you say 'ten' if you were there from teh beginning

PR reads her attendee briefing shocker.

The event was held on a Friday, which itself is unusual. It was a “this thing can’t wait until Monday” situation — a fire that needed to be put out before it spread. Non-emergency press conferences are not held on Fridays.

they are if you want to bury bad news you utter idiot

I love that all the gruber/marco/dalrymple types have put up multipara obits about this like any fucker outside of apple and the bloggy zealosphere would have a) heard of her or b) given the slightest fuck that the apple pr person is leaving

well if you accept the premise that apple is important, this is important news.

gruber realises that. he just has nothing to say and no insight to offer.

I love that all the gruber/marco/dalrymple types have put up multipara obits about this

gruber did, the other two didn't; marco hasn't mention it and jim wrote a sentence.
