Hello, LTB reader(s)! I think it’s to put myself back on the top of this fine blog, and so I’ve decided to say my piece on the announcements of Steve Jobs’ keynote speech at WWDC. Since there’s already a myriad of opinions finding their way onto the web today, I think I’ll keep my remarks short. So, without further ado:
The redesign of Apple.com: Killer.
The presence of noted game dev god John Carmack showing off his next gen engine: 1337.
The presence of an EA exec to announce simultaneous release of new Mac games: Profiteering.
The transparent menu bar in Leopard’s new look: Eyestrain!
The lack of familiar rounded corners in the menu bar of said new look: 
The integration of Cover Flow, Stacks, and Quick Look into the new Finder: Slick.
Boot Camp’s unheralded ability to switch hibernation states between Mac OS X and Windows: Awesome. Bogus. 
Phil Schiller’s Clutch Cargo comedy involving Steve Ballmer’s face: Hilarious.
Core Animation: Tantalizing.
Safari on Windows: Peculiar.
The idea that all of those “top secret” features needed to stay under wraps until Vista shipped: Silly.
and, last but most certainly not least–
The “use Web 2.0 to develop hosted iPhone apps instead of native ones” copout: Bullcrap.
Isn’t it nice when the news is so easy to digest?
