Updates from WWDC: More of Leoprard Reveiled, Safari 3.0 (even for Windows)

Apple announced some juicy tid bits at this years WWDC. First off (and most exciting in my opinion), Jobs announced a new version of Safari, v3 (beta). And what is so exciting is there is a Windows version! So, when you are away from your mac and on a Windows machine (like so many of us when we are at work), you can have a little more Apple in your life.

Jobs also gave us some more features to drool over in the next OS, Leopard. I can't wait until it is out!

Watch the keynote here.

Leopard Screen Shots

We are all saddened by the recent news that Apple has delayed the release of Leopard again (according to the rumors this is because of the iPhone's development - which sucks - I have no plans on buying the iPhone, but I will be upgrading to Leopard as soon as it is available). What is even worst is that I read today the iPhone may also get delayed as well. So, today I bring you something that will help turn the frown upside down - screen shots from the latest build of Leopard. Apple better be adding additional goodies to Leopard since they are making use wait. So take a look at what they are holding back from us for now.

Happy Birthday Apple II !

Yesterday was the 30th anniversary of the Apple II computer, the little beige box that changed the world. It did some pretty amazing things in it's time. And it is one of the longer lasting computing devices to date. I have some real fond memories of the Apple II, especially the Apple IIe. Read all the juicy details.

Jobs - "Thoughts on Music"

With the recent announcement from Apple to offer DRM-Free downloads, I am reminded of the recent post from Steve Jobs on his "Thoughts on Music". Pretty interesting if you ask me.

Surprise ad for Apple TV begins airing on networks

To follow up with my last posts on Apple stuff, I bring you today an item on a new TV ad for the new Apple TV. Has anyone seen the ad yet? If so, what do you think? More importantly, has anyone purchased an Apple TV? What do you think? I am considering getting one, but not sure at this point. I have seen the emergence of hacks for this product, but I think the HD is way too small. Anyways, here is the lowdown on the new ad (on AppleInsider).

The iPod: 100 Million Strong and iPods across Iraq

In an effort to keep my blog updated, I bring you 2 somewhat related stories.

First, Apple iPod sales top 100 million. And there are still people out there who think that there is an option when buying a music player? All I can say is denial. Read the details here.

And the second item is a little piece of news I ran across regarding iPods in war. It focuses on one soldier who was shot in the iPod! His name is Kevin Garrad and he was involved in a fight and was shot. He made it, his iPod did not.

Leopard in June?

According to reports, Apple will be releasing Leopard this June following or at the Worldwide Developers Conference. It seems that Apple decided to push the release date from this March to June in order to include even more goodies. More interaction with the iWork and iLife suites (Leopard only versions) seem to be on the ticket. Read more on Think Secret.
