Mail in Leopard is a disaster
I’ve been messing around with Leopard all day, and while there are a number of improvements, the update was not worth it yet. I’ve come across a number of bugs, particularly in Mail, which, in my opinion, is a complete and utter disaster. Notes? More like nots. To dos? Nuh-uh… more like to don’ts. Not intuitive, completely buggy, fugly, a mess. Get away from me, Mail. I hate you.
Leopard looks nice, but the Apple website looks great
Just finished watching/reading the announcements made by Steve Jobs at this year’s WWDC keynote and I think I speak for many when I say that I was significantly underwhelmed. (”You can be overwhelmed, you can be underwhelmed… but can you ever just be whelmed?”)
There were a few mildly exciting points, so I’ll start with those:
The new Finder was great news. It is cleverly based off of the iTunes interface, even allowing one to browse through files in CoverFlow mode. This could be extremely useful when browsing through folders filled with photographs, but maybe not so much for browsing document folders.
Panic Software releases their one-window web development solution: Coda
I am buying Coda. Without thinking twice. As soon as possible. And I am going to love it. It is honestly so exciting when a piece of software, especially one as refined and styled as this, is released that fills such an obvious and gaping hole in one’s computational workflow.
