Suddenly, I realized it was almost time for <a href=\"http:\/\/developer.apple.com\/wwdc\/\">WWDC<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Mind you, I wasn&#8217;t really that interested, since it seemed to me all of the chatter was about the iPhone. When people discussed the conference, all I could hear was &#8220;iPhone blah, blah, blah .Mac blah, blah, blah&#8221; and I quickly tuned out. That is, until I read about the supposed name of Mac OS X 10.6, or Snow Leopard.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"http:\/\/arstechnica.com\/journals\/apple.ars\/2008\/06\/04\/mac-os-x-10-6-code-named-snow-leopard-may-be-pure-cocoa\">this article<\/a>, Snow Leopard is an evolutionary update (hence the code name), with the focus being not on new features, but stability and reliability. And, it could be all Cocoa.<\/p>\n<p>And, in the biggest news, 10.6 marks the end of PowerPC support. Which means that those machines would be stuck on 10.5 in perpetuity. <\/p>\n<p>While I would love to believe this, I don&#8217;t know. Seems a bit soon to end support for PowerPC machines. Plus, all Cocoa I don&#8217;t see happening for a while, if at all.<\/p>\n<p>I guess we will find out tomorrow, but this sure does make WWDC a lot more interesting, at least for me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo by Milan Trykar.
