Submit Response is a weblog by Jack Mottram, a Obligatory WWDC Post
You may have noticed that Apple made a few little announcements yesterday. The interesting bits, as far as I’m concerned:
- Panther, obviously. The new user-centric, iTunes-style Finder looks neat and tidy (I have no problems with brushed metal), easy switching between accounts will come in handy.
- iChat AV. I haven’t tried out the beta as yet, but free phone calls to everyone I know who runs OS X will be, well, really very cool indeed. I’m sure video chat would be fun too, but the feature is unavailable to those of us using G3s.
- Safari 1.0. Er, I can’t see any difference between this and the last beta, bar a stupidly high/correct default font size of 16 points, but I’ve only been using it for five minutes.
- iDisk improvements. Essentially, the iDisk will be more tightly integrated, and available locally all the time. I’m a sucker for paying up, I know, but this is going to make my annual fee much better value.
- G5. By the time I get one, everyone will be talking about the exciting new G7s.
Funny that the default font is bigger. Safari 1.0(v85) now has nearly every page I visit with at least one portion where the font is so tiny I can’t read it. Never happened with the last beta and I never had to use the [‘a A’] button
I went to the trackback link and couldn’t read it at all:-(

that iChat AV is a bit freaky - the dismebodied muffled voice of jack on the other end!

I found something in Safari - a rather pointless autotab function in the bookmarks bar settings. Hmm, your point?
