"...
Mac OS X has been leading secret double life, Jobs proclaims. Every release of Mac OS X has been built for both Intel and PowerPC-based Macs over the last 5 years. Mac OS X is cross-platform by design. Jobs shows all Mac OS X Tiger running on Intel. All features are already compatible with Intel-based processors. It's not done yet, but will be put into the developer hands for finishing.

tiger's baby is leopard!
sounds funny :)

-----> panther --> tiger --> `leopard`
(are you guys crazy?)

wow!! :)
with all the speculation running around about Gn --> Intel switch, today's keynote would be real fun. Am I excited about it? I don't know. Depends on how SteveJ is going to present it... if at all there is any such thing that is.

Else, I just need widescreen iBooks :)

:-))
I am going to get an iBook... in a month...
finally.... !!!
[oh yes... I do know that there have been two revisions to the iBook between the time I have decided to go for it, and the time I am finally buying it.]

Listening to Norah Jones' Come Away with me...
Do visit her web site... You might find something interesting... :-) I'm glad I did... :-D

Oh.., btw I also had a look at the powerbooks.... The 12 inch one was quite hot...., especially on the left of the trackpad... The 15 and 17 inch ones are at room temperatures or cooler..., probably..

I saw an apple G5 today!!! It is 'OK' in looks - not very stunning... However, one very notable thing is that it was so silent even when it was running....that... you have to listen to the silence... to believe it. I actually moved my ear to the surface of the G5.. and guess what? I could listen absolutely nothing... No!! this is no exaggeration...!!

btw, I saw the G5 at David Jones store in Sydney CBD... :)

Just now read at macrumors.com that one very-likely date for release of OS X Panther is October 24... Hmm!! that's almost a month of waiting...!!! :-(

I am just waiting for the release of Panther (OS X 10.3) to buy my iBook... I have absolutely no intentions of buying an iBook now with Jaguar (OS X 10.2) and then burning US$129 for Panther... But, *when* will apple release Panther???? [Don't tell me the apple's standard answer - 'by end of year']... There is still a glimmer of belief somewhere in me, that hopes iBooks will be simulataneously updated.... with the release of Panther... Let's see... :)

Summer started in Sydney on 22nd... When I went out of my apartment @ around 8:00 PM I was expecting the cold winds as is usual at that time... However, the temp was hovering around 30 degrees celcius... and it was quite hot... [Can you belive that just the day before it was around 20 degrees!!!]

Hmm... apple online stores are up and running!!!
