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?
