So much for regular posting; either no connection, or too much to do when I have one.<\/p>\n
\nStill, everything else’s been good so far. The weather’s been quite good for San Francisco, though a little windy at times. I met a lot of old and new friends already and took some more nice pictures of downtown San Francisco.<\/p>\n
\nIn a couple of hours I’ll be in the WWDC keynote queue. Most speculation I’ve read so far has been about iPhone hardware\/software, which I’m not too interested in. However, one nice rumor I’ve heard is that they may unveil a highly scalable CPU from the PA Semi group Apple acquired a year or so ago; one or two such chips could power the iPhone, with (say) 32 in a laptop, 128 in a desktop, and 8 or 16 in a hypothetical tablet. Will a tablet be announced? No idea, though I hope so.<\/p>\n
\nRegarding Snow Leopard, I think the most likely announcement is going to be about price and availability; my tip would be between $39 and $59, and September\/October. The rumored “Marble” interface theme sounds unlikely to me.<\/p>\n
\nThat said, I’m very excited about the things in Snow Leopard’s underlying technologies, but those are visible only to developers, anyway. (Also: NDA…)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
