WWDC News!

Although the WWDC keynote is still underway, a few key points have already been made.

Sherlock 3 will ship 1ith 10.2. Details to follow.

OS 10.2 will be released "later this summer," with one more small release (we're assuming 10.1.5) due out before then.

New features in 10.2:
multithreading support
integrated search
spring loaded folders
automatic thumbnail creation

"Mac OS 9 isn't dead for our customers, but it is for you. Today we say goodbye to Mac OS 9 for all future development," said CEO Jobs, setting the direction for the keynote.

No new products (two button mice, iBooks) have been announced at this point, and such announcements seem unlikely giving the nature of the keynote.

Late summer

I hate to tell you guys, but "late summer" is code for September 2xth (ie, the day before fall)...

They pulled the same exact thing with 10.1. Everyone expected it at MWNY 2001, but it didn't come until September 19th, I believe.

I think Apple tries to release stuff on the 24th of the month.

Mmmmm Quartz extreme.. Hardware accelerated Quartz. Not possible on the old Rage cards, but on AGP2x with 32mb of vram our higher you are golden.


Aparently uses OpenGL to do the acceleration.

YES!!!


Quartz Extreme: Takes the compositing engine in Quartz, and accelerates it in graphics cards. Combines 2D, 3D and video in one hardware pipeline via OpenGL. "Everything on the screen is being drawn in hardware by OpenGL." Requires AGP 2x and 32MB of video RAM.


Now all I need is a girlfriend...
