Hubris

Apple has regained the glory they used to have and along with it they once again have become arrogant and cocky. Yesterday’s keynote and follow-on sessions were proof:

  • Apple’s description of their lame iPhone development solution was “Sweet!” on the slide.
  • When introducing Safari for Windows, Apple subtly replaces Firefox’s slice of the browser pie on the slide with Safari.
  • Steve Jobs describing the new “Cover Flow” feature in the Finder as “useful.”
  • The whole keynote was filled with the usual jabs at Microsoft including the opening “skit” with “PC” masquerading as Steve Jobs before he gets busted by “Mac”.
  • Apple leaves Carbon developers (like Adobe) out in the rain when they neglect to include Carbon under the new 64-bit umbrella.
