1. “Many of these same developers applauded the “150+ new features” in Tiger and the “300 new features” in Leopard at past WWDCs. Now they were applauding zero new features for Snow Leopard? What explains this?”

It says a couple of things. Firstly, Apple has such a huge lead in the features and innovation curve that they can rest on their laurels while Win 7 plays catch up (Redmond, start your photocopiers!)

But more importantly, the focus is now on tapping into the dual, quad and octo (Mac Pro) core processors in the computers and make commmon tasks run smoother. Traditionally, Apple Operating Systems have to support two different core architecture. During the 90s Macintosh G3 era, they had to support to old Motorolla processors in older Macs. Prior to 10.6, they run both on G4/G5 as well as Intel chips. Now 10.6 is fully 64 bit (address more than 4GB RAM among other advantages), and fully Intel.

3. Highlighting a thought I hear from somewhere : “smoking doesn’t kill. its the underlying diseases one might have! i’ve seen PERFECTLY healthy 80 year olds who smoke like chimney. Same with H1N1, you don’t really die from that. Keyword: underlying diseases.”

4. How can you NOT be excited about an Apple music event on 10 September (M’sia time)? The messiah Steve Jobs should be presenting. And “one more thing” this time around will be the new iProd 1,1 featuring… widescreen touchscreen PSP-esque device running iPhone OS for under RM 2,500? [source]
