As everyone, I'm can't wait for today's Steve Jobs keynote at the MacWorld San Francisco. What are the new gadgets he's going to announce? Which software suites will have new versions (or new applications)? Will he announce the delivery date for Leopard (the next version of MacOSX)?
Meanwhile, I decided to make a (funny?) exercise:
first, I compile all the rumours someone is talking about and made a list of terms;
next, for each term, went to Google and search for 'MWSF 07' + term;
finally, created the following graphic with the number of results:
The keynote will start at 5 pm GMT, so soon we will be able to know if this is (or not) a viable method for predict Apple announcements
A pair of security researchers has picked January 2007 as the starting point for a month-long project in which each passing day will feature a previously undocumented security hole in Apple's OS X operating system or in Apple applications that run on top of it.
The "Month of Apple Bugs" project, began on Jan. 1, and is being orchestrated in part by a security researcher who asked to be identified only by his online alias "LMH." This is the same researcher who in November ran the "Month of Kernel Bugs" project. LMH's partner in this project is Kevin Finisterre, a researcher who has reported numerous bugs to Apple over the past few years.
The security researchers told the Washington Post that, as with Apple bugs featured during the MoKB project, Apple would receive no advanced notice of the forthcoming security problems. The security researchers hope to use the project to dispel the perception that Apple systems are free of the security bugs that have long plagued Windows users.
In two days, as promised, two bugs have been publicized, all of which allows for remote arbitrary code execution:
A great site by Greenpeace, aiming the reducing of usage of hazardous substances in Apple equipment. They mimicked the Apple website, changed the colors to green, and added a strong environmental concern. The website also includes the Greenpeace version of an Apple ad. Brilliant.
Yesterday I got my first iPod, the black nano. And you know the drill: it's your new gadget, and it's the best of the world. But today, while reading my daily blogroll, I founded two pieces that got me thinking:
AppleInsider shows a new Apple fillings for the iPod redesign. It seems Apple intends to abandon the Click-Whell interface, so my brand new iPod nano will soon be a museum piece.
A video showing what the author called the OSX Leopard Mobile running on a video iPod, with stylus and sensitive screen. My first reaction was to curse for choosing the iPod nano, but than I realized the video is fake: it's a video simulating the user interface, and you can notice that by watching it very carefully. Watch the video below.
A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.
