meI have a few questions regarding Steve's WWDC keynote:

  • Was Apple really the first to ship with 802.11g?
  • Is Panther really worth a $99 upgrade?
  • Does the new user-centric Finder actually provide significant speed-improvements?
  • Is there really a need for yet another set of proprietary and incompatible technologies in iChat AV? Is that really worth $29?
  • Did Al Gore invent instant messaging?
  • Did iSight really need to look like a radar-gun?
  • Is the new PDF reader really the fastest in the world?
  • Is the G5 really the world's fastest PC? Will people actually understand that a 2GHz G5 is faster than a 3GHz P4?
  • Did it really take Apple 4 years to catch up with Windows' Fast User Switching?
I'll probably have more thoughts after watching the stream.
