The Lame Leopard

At the Apple Keynote today,
Steve Jobs had a lot to say
Leopard was the topic of choice,
And he spoke in a bold tone of voice!
One by one the features were called,
Which left the audience members enthralled.

64 bit apps were taked of first,
Then the bubble of time was burst.
Time machine Mr.Jobs said,
Brings back all files from the dead.
It seems to be an idea neat,
But what happens to space when you delete?

Three toys were then on us bestowed -
Bootcamp, Photobooth and Front Row.
Virtual desktops came on next,
If you steal from Linux - take the best!
Core animation is so pretty,
Screen saver coding can be so gritty.

Text-to-speech was the next new feature,
It was shown to be a whole new creature.
To-do’s and notes were also touted,
Till his voice was hoarse Mr.Jobs shouted.
Dashboard widgets - a bag of tricks,
From webpage to widget in just a few clicks.

Last but not least comes the new iChat,
I say Adium is more non-fat!
To be honest, as I saw what he said,
I prefered to use my XP instead.
The moral of the story - where do I aim?
Yes! Tout not featues that are totally lame!

Well, Anshul and I were seeing the live transcript of the WWDC presentation together - and we both though that the features on Leopard sucked. While Anshul put down his thoughts in words[anshul.info], lack of sleep caused my thoughts to come out as a bad poem.

Enjoy!

Flap on!

Michael has done it again (and again) - Two new versions of Colibri in one night!

There are more features and a few bugs have been fixed. What’s most important is that there is now an online community on the site. It’s small now, but I’m pretty sure it’s only going to get larger as time goes on.

Get Colibri here [direct download link] and read about what it can do here.

Go on, what have you got to lose - except all that constant searching and clicking through the Start Menu.

Until next time - the keyboard is your friend :)
