The recent WWDC 2006 shows us an important miles on how Mac OS X will look like in the future. It boasts a sophisticated backup utility called Time Machine, and new Apple Mail 3.0 brings Templates that allows us to create a more humanism mail. Let alone it has a To Do list check which will be a huge advantage and more organize live in corporate space and personal uses.

On the back end side, Apple will bring us another shocking Core Animation engine which will allows developer to create stunning applications based on this engine. And a perfect natural Text-To-Speech called Alex! …. It’s all awesome.

What’s the wish list that I expected from the forthcoming Leopard release? I only hopes that Apple would consider to bring back the fun! Steve, bring us back the Sound and Themes! It might not be as shocking wave as Core Animation nor Text To Speech nor Time Machine, but I’ve faces lots of Windows switchers and long time Mac users (since System 9 days) loosing their “toys” when it comes to OS X. Everything are suddenly quite. No Themes nor Sounds.

Brings us back the Fun, Steve! … You might think that it is annoying to have a Sound wherever you drag things or move the Pull Down menu, but I said, it would be wiser if we let user decide whether they want to turn it On or Off.

For now, Mac users can rely on Unsanity’s Xounds and Shapeshifter to bring back all the fun. It’s a 10 and 20 dollars shareware that allows us to bring back all the memories with System 9.

People won’t use the same shirt everydays, Steve. And with the boost adoption of MacBook, I would say people will flock into the same white-everyone-use-laptop and soon MacBook will looks too dull and boring if everyone use the same gadget. I would also like to assure you to think about allowing future MacBook to able to change “shirt” easily, just like PowerBook 1400 days. Of course the PowerBook 1400 is a dog and not success at all, but let’s face it. It’s a brick and MacBook skinness make it all different. The skin thing is the key success to Nokia and of course … the iPod 🙂

Other would say, argh Adi this is nothing. You’re talking rubbish, it’s only the skin for sake!… but gossh how about the 19 millions OS X users would think Steve? They are all mostly Laggard and the business people. Do they notice in Unsanity? Nope.

Well, my 2 cents suggestions:
If you think you can not make it to Leopard, then give them a talk. If buyout would be a not good option (thanks to my article :D) that they rise the price, then talk about bundling. A dollar for every copy of Mac OS X sold in Leopard would be kick ass I guess. Customize the way they look to make it more Apple originals, and let’s make money for both parties. That’s how Microsoft works, doesn’t they!

Now I can only wish the forthcoming Themes from Apple will bring back the System 7, Platinum, Gizmo, Hi-Tech original themes. That’s only a small wish. For Apple executives who keep saying bad words on me, well guys cut the crap. Read the line, I CARE FOR APPLE, you might only care for your position!

A new launched Mac Pro (Dual Woodcrests) is really really a bargain machine. Both for Mac OS X and as a Windows or Linux Machine. Why? Because it price 1,100 dollars less than similar Dell Precision Workstation 690 (two Intel Xeon 5150 2.66GHz dual-core processors, 250GB hard drive, 2GB of 667MHz RAM, and 16x DVD burner).

Now if only Apple would open an office here and communicate to enterprise market this huge advantage. The time is key to everything. IF not then the price advantage itself would dissolve over the time.

Tonight is a big day. The transition is complete. Apple finally moved all its product line to Intel based platform. The most notable machine and expected for professional is the Mac Pro (PowerMac G5 replacement) that carries Dual Woodcrest (Xeon Edition of Intel Core 2 Duo = 4 Cores Processors) and it’s a 64-bit extension to the old Yonah (Core Duo) platform.

Is it a news? Well everybody knows that. Geeks at least. But the most suprising part is when my colleagues called me this afternoon asked me whether I want to order a special promo Intel 965LTC Desktop Board Bundled with Intel Core 2 Duo!! Whatt!!!… yep indeed, Intel makes a move. They launches the Core 2 Duo platform worldwide at the same time of Apple World Wide Developer Conference tonight. This is amazing. Showing that Intel is solid marketing company.

So Apple what’s next? Merger with Intel? That’s even a thunder news 😛 ….

Here’s a shot from WWDC 2006. Sorry Windows folks!

One of the most frustating experience in using Mac is the lacks of the-latest-greatest Yahoo Messenger on the platform. Of course you still can always use AdiumX as a multi-protocol IM, but it’s not always the case. The Adium built with GAIMlib which unable to connect to Yahoo on strict proxy (Unable to connect through tunnelling port 5050). And the old YM! 2.5.3 is a sux application. Built around Carbon apps rather than Cocoa framework (Carbon is an old library that allows build once ran any Mac OS 9 and X during OS 9-X transition) A very old app, and crashed too much!

I’m right in the middle of setting up a Tunnel server to get my Adium working on my client’s site today, until I accidentally check out the yahoo site. Voila, there’s Yahoo 3 Beta for Mac! Yahoooooo… though it’s not the same as the Windows cousins, it built around Mac Intel in mind, a.k.a Universal apps… wow! Now you’d just made my day 🙂

Now if only I can make the icon and the list in smaller icons… since I have hundreds of friends list… Yahoo seems you’re showing a commitment to the Mac platform once again. Thanks for making my day easier! And don’t forget to make the icons smaller please. 🙂 We need that badly.
