Staying tuned: Leopard to be released at Vista launch?

Apple launches draws press. If Apple were to release something spectacular at the same time, that would draw a lot of press, downplaying the Vista release. Leopard will be spectacular, and so will iLife '07 and iWork '07 based on Leopard. To me it would make perfect sense for Apple to release all these three packages at the Vista launch date. I would love it even more if they released it all as one product. They asked us to stay tuned, I'm on my fourth double espresso and shivering with tention!

MacFuse

Thank you Google, they have released MacFuse. (tip from BSD News) I love FUSE with FreeBSD, but since I usually use FreeBSD for my servers and would like to use FUSE on my workstation, this is great! See Google's blog entry about it. As I write I've got a couple of SSHFS mounts up. For my work, I'm really looking forward to use something like S3FS with Amazon's S3.

My comments on the iPhone

Having slept on it and digested a lot of articles, these are my comments on the iPhone announced yesterday:

My take on the Apple TV

The Apple TV is a device I have been looking forward to since the iTV prototype was announced. Why would I want this rather than a Mac Mini? Well.... my question is still unanswered. But these were my surprises and questions:

Just a couple of hours more

I'm waiting attentively. Wonder what goodies Macworld '07 will bring. I admit it, I've become some sort of a fan. But in my defence: THEY STARTED IT! They took FreeBSD and NetBSD and threw a great UI on top of it and sold computers that were set up in a way I liked it with this preinstalled. Hmm....! Waiting....

No Norwegian for me, thanks!

I'm so happy I took the consequences of the last failure trying to fly Norwegian/Sterling that I now flew with Cimberair. The service was swift and great! However, Norwegian is still trying to mess up their customers' lives (Norwegian link there). Same trouble as last time. What is it with these guys? They make Ryan Air look like choir boys.
