WWDC 2007: Full of meh

I’ll join the long list of people that have dubbed this latest JobsNote one of the worst in recent history. It was riddled with boring demos of technology we’ve all seen before. The Spaces and Safari on Windows demos were particularly excruciating.

“And if you want to rearrange your Spaces, you just move them around. So if I want this one here, boom, there it is.” Definitely not boom-worthy, Mr. Jobs. And wow, Steve, “Okay, here we are in Windows, using Safari. See, we can browse web pages.” Shit. I think I just swallowed my tongue because I fell asleep so fast.

How about this, Steve? No more demos of basic operating system features that we’ve all seen before, especially when it is behind schedule. Thanks.

I’ve never been a huge JobsNote fanboy, but this one was seriously B-O-R-I-N-G. But, just for shits and grins, I am writing this post using Safari (version 2) my Mac. Gotta say, it sucks as a browser. Every couple months I switch over to Safari from Firefox for a few seconds and realize how much it sucks. Now we’ve unleashed this on Windows? Ugh. Time not well spent, Apple.

Edit: If there were any misspellings in this post, blame the lack of on-the-fly (highlighted) spell checking in Safari.
