New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

Just seen Gruber backpedal past my window:

In particular, we are relaxing all restrictions on the development tools used to create iOS apps, as long as the resulting apps do not download any code. This should give developers the flexibility they want, while preserving the security we need.

In addition, for the first time we are publishing the App Store Review Guidelines to help developers understand how we review submitted apps. We hope it will make us more transparent and help our developers create even more successful apps for the App Store.

finally!

does anyone have an explanation for Ping? i'm just baffled

Seems to have all the commercialism of itunes plus all the utility of mobile me

apparently Ping is better suited for iTunes ON IPHONE - shame none of the bands or friends I actually care about are on it.

ya ping looks terrible. like seems to totally misunderstand social networking stuff.

lol gruber

apple have never really got social networking (or "the web" for that matter) but the network effect of ping is going to be pretty fierce

10' Macbook, please:

Apple will be holding a media event titled “Back to the Mac” on October 20. The invitation seems to indicate that the focus of the meeting will be on/around Mac OS X 10.7 — maybe to be called “Lion”? — and the Mac.

Ten feet? That's a little large.

So I can print out my coupons:

got a magic mouse for my birthday, it's a marvel, well done apple

got my apple tv today, quite nice. this is my first experience with streaming netflix, a bit pixely, probably my bandwidth which is absolutely shitty. nice to finally get around to streaming my itunes library to the stereo, a bit overwhelming, I guess I should really fix those tags. $99 well spent considering all the CDs have to be in storage now (and if I can stand it, sold)

also, it bears stating again, that there are few things as satisfying and opening and unwrapping new apple products.

stream's on

what is twitter saying?

Apple jumps on the letterpress bandwagon.

Finally we have a new low; lower than the iDVD templates keynote.
iPhoto: look I can email a photo now.

DIRECTLY FROM IPHOTO!

unlike anything I've seen a computer do before.

they're going to demo them all aren't they

/kills self

AUDIO LEVEL ENVELOPES!

Can now output audio to Edison Wax Cylinder.

This is deeply underwhelming. New toys, pls.

guys im bored

it would be more fun to go through ilx themes.

im debating one of those Itv things. But then i realized with my direct tv receiver i can use software like playon and get the same sexy results, for free.

I don't like where this is going.

iPad features we'd like to bring back to the Mac: Multi-touch gestures, App Store, App Home screens, full screen apps, auto save, auto resume when launching

uh oh

"not the only place to get apps but the best place"

oh man

it's a smart move

so was bundling IE

It'll just be like steam, but for utilities?

Installing apps on the mac was crazy hard before.

i'm sure developers will be thrilled at this news

Well, I guess it's a new channel to sell on, but it also is one where Apple will extract a big piece of their revenue.

full screen! I'm going to have to upgrade my ram

Beginning of the end for Mac OS?

it'll give some independent Mac developers a wider audience for their stuff

yes, like i say, i'm sure they'll be thrilled

and it's optional, so what could they possibly have to complain about? if you don't like it, don't put your app there, right?

How long until you'll have to jailbreak your mac?

lol
