: Apple’s WWDC in San Francisco

Spent this week in San Francisco at Apple’s Worldwide Developer’s Conference. It was an exciting show, partly because it was my first time at a WWDC, and being surrounded by thousands of really smart Mac programmers was an interesting experience, but this year was significant as Apple announced their new G5 Macs (shipping in August). The new Macs look awesome and appear to be a huge leap forward in performance, though Apple’s performance numbers include some questionable fudging that makes me question Steve Jobs’ “fastest personal computer in the world” mantra. Overall it appeared to be a good show, with everyone enthusiastic and confident about the future of the Mac platform.
