Observe this
In San Francisco, thick steam really does rise out of the manholes and grates on the streets. H2 Hummers are quite common. Stretch limos, and Hummers stretched to twice the normal length of a stretch limo are an everyday affair. The city buses are silent - they are all attached to electric cables which hang above the roads. It is not clear what happens if the buses stray too far from their route, but I imagine it wouldn't be pretty. Most of the food service guys and a lot of workers in general, are Southern American and speak their own language amongst each other.
On another tack completely, predictably enough there has been a massive amount of discussion about what Macs on Intel means for the future. Most of the questions at WWDC are the same as those coming up outside it - how Intel are the MacIntels? Can you run Windows on them? Can you run OS X on a Wintel machine? What about BIOS and Open Firmware? Well here at WWDC we've actually been using the Intel powered OS X machines (Corroboree is now Intel-compliant!), which is very nice indeed, but most of the questions remain. I thought these comments from Phil Schiller, courtesy of CNET, were worth reporting here, as they address in a simple way some of the most fundamental questions (and don't break my NDA).
After Jobs' presentation, Apple Senior Vice President Phil Schiller addressed the issue of running Windows on Macs, saying there are no plans to sell or support Windows on an Intel-based Mac. "That doesn't preclude someone from running it on a Mac. They probably will," he said. "We won't do anything to preclude that."However, Schiller said the company does not plan to let people run Mac OS X on other computer makers' hardware. "We will not allow running Mac OS X on anything other than an Apple Mac," he said.
