Connectivity: Wouldn’t it be great if…
Standardization: Pretty cool, huh?
FaceTime: Just hangin’ out
Depth & Speed: Next-Gen computing for mere mortals
Sync: It’s like magic
iLife & iTunes: Boom!- iTunes goes back to being all about audio. - iVideos is the new home of all your videos (iLife now consists of: iTunes, iVideos, iBooks) - iLife apps are about consumption, not production. For this reason iMovie will be merged into Final Cut, which will have 2 operating modes: beginner & pro. Alternately, Apple could bundle iMovie as part of iWork, which is also about creating things. This would have the additional benefit of bringing more users to the iWork suite.
One More Thing…
If you have any more predictions, I’d love to hear them. Please post’em in the comments.
Comments from my old blog:
Ian said: Nice predictions. I think I agree with most of it. I won’t make any revolutionary predictions.. But it’s fun to think about it. The problem with revolutionary things is there are too many potential problems that can get in the way of having something new come to market. Engineering things. So, I’ll stick to thinking about things that are certainly possible. I think MobileMe will become largely free and it will include some easy things like contacts and calendar sync for free. They will have some variant of iDisk that will be much easier to sync data from idevices. I say “some variant” because I think they will still hide any type of file system. It will only be used for apps that need to sync data, but it will be easy for third party apps to take advantage of this storage since everyone will have it. It will be “type” dependent, much as it is now. Just like there is currently, a music database, a movie database, etc that the idevices can access, manipulate, this will just get extended to other database types, and those types are what can be transparently synced to the cloud and other devices. What will be especially interesting to me is exactly how the ipad line will change. There is a strange difference between small devices (ios devices) and large screen devices (macs) in their product line. Different in terms of form factor, input methods, and os. Macs have very low marketshare, and I suspect that will always be the case. They have never really gained much traction outside of north America. To me, it even seems possible that the Mac won’t exist in 10 years (the name anyway). So, I think that there will be large screen idevices that will be more “console-like” than a pc. And they will all have the app store. at 2010-08-12 02:42:06

How fast?
Here are a bunch of measurements I took by videoing the Mac, and then watching the frames in slow-motion in iMovie. All times are in seconds. Boot time to items in menu bar near clock HDD - 110 SSD - 58.5 (1.9x faster) iTunes time to launch with 220GB music HDD - 12.9 SSD - 4.7 (2.7x faster) Zend Studio time to launch & complete all progress bars (refreshing workspace, syncing svn cache, etc) HDD - 222.5 SSD - 44.5 (5x faster) I didn’t take the time to measure a bunch of other applications on the HDD, but I will give you some rough estimates. The SSD *really* shines: NetNewsWire with 191 feeds & 8000 unread items HDD - 10 SSD - 1 (10x faster) OmniFocus with 28 projects & tasks HDD - 15 SSD - 1 (15x faster) Mail with 2 accounts & 9 smart folders
HDD - 35
SSD - 1 (35x faster!)
I use Zend Studio all day every day. And it needs restarting quite a few times each day. At 222 seconds, multiple restarts sucked up a lot of time. Not only that, but waiting for the progress bars to complete throughout the day was torture. While I was waiting, I would get distracted, and my productivity would plummet. With the new SSD, it launches & completes progress bars 80% faster, making me 80% less likely to get distracted. I am SO excited to see how this effects not only my productivity, but my mental status throughtout the day. Waiting was frustrating, and now I’ll be doing a lot less of it.
P.S. - the SSD is rated at 3Gbps, but my MacBook only supports 1.5Gbps. So, next time I upgrade I’ll probably get another speed boost with this very same drive. Awesome.

The OptiBay comes with an external USB enclosure for the SuperDrive, so I’ll still be able to use it. In the meantime, the Seagate will be able to hold all my files, MP3s, and photos (which already get backed up nightly to external drives). at 2010-08-26 17:21:22

Dave needs to remember that conversations are messy, and that, online or off-line, you can’t control what people say. You can only control if you want to listen or not. It’s the culture of not listening that is the problem, not the ability to comment on blogs. If more people really listened to the message then they would not be going off topic or engaging in flame wars.
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to leave a comment on your BLOG! at 2010-08-23 16:14:04

At the end of 2 months, I discovered that I had flagged 352 articles as insightful or relevent (6 per day). Armed with this data, I could begin to bring an end to the insanity. I went into the Flagged items folder, and sorted by feed name. That let me count how many “insightful or relevant” articles I had found in each feed (I will post my actual numbers below). Thinking about this data let me make some smart decisions: 1. I don’t need to follow 7 different Apple blogs. I found that I had flagged more articles on 9to5Mac.com than on any other Apple-related group blog. I can now safely unfollow the rest and not worry about missing anything important. The same goes for gadget sites, where Engadget beat Gizmodo.. 2. I should NOT put aggregator sites or group blogs in my feed reader! The unread count is ever increasing, and there is no way a mere mortal can keep up. The increasingly high “unread” count causes stress. I’m talking about: reddit.com, hacker news, gizmodo, wired news, boingboing, the new york times, and other mass-content-producing sites/networks. 3. I do not have to abandon aggregator sites & group blogs, I just need to NOT track how much of their content I have not read. The easiest way to do this is to put them all in a bookmark folder and simply right-click and “open all” when I want to browse random (previously deemed worthy) information. 4. I should make a policy of only subscribing to sites run by a single person. They usually have a much higher ratio of awesome posts to crappy posts. That person is either a good writer, or they’re not. With group blogs & aggregators this is definitely not the case. Also, because individuals publish less, it’s less to keep up with.
The next logical (but tedious) step would be to see how many articles were published by each feed during those 2 months, so that I could then figure out the signal to noise ratio and then trim down my feeds based on that data. For example, if Hacker News (an aggregator) published 2000 articles in the last 60 days, and I found 20 of them insightful or relevant, the signal to noise ratio would be very low at 1%. By comparison, ASmartBear (blog run by 1 person) might only have published 10 articles, of which I found 3 insightful or relevant. The signal to noise ratio there would be 30%. Definitely high value. That makes me wonder: why isn’t this feature built-in?
Why can’t I sort feeds by my personal signal to noise ratio?
That would be AMAZING!
That way I could always be presented with the content I’m most likely to find valuable FIRST.
Come to think of it, Twitter clients/apps should have that too!
Just click a star on every tweet you like, and the app shows you SVN ratios for everyone you follow.
Anyway, I hope this helps you cure your own feed addiction.
Knowledge is power, and there’s still a lot that software can do to empower us.
P.S. - I just discovered that when you unsubscribe from a feed, all of the flagged/starred articles associated with that feed also disappear. I guess I should have known that, but it still sucks that I’ve now lost track of a bunch of good articles. Bah. If you don’t want to lose those flags, create a new folder called “waste” so it appears at the bottom of the list. Drag all of the feeds you would be unsubscribing from into that folder, and never check it again (unless you really need to kill time, like, at an airport).
Here’s my raw data, by the way. I put *** beside aggregators & group blogs. Their numbers are lower than they would be, because at some point I became overwhelmed by them, and stopped reading & flagging their articles. I will be unsubscribing from them later today, and putting them in a bookmark folder, as I mentioned.

I think in netnewswire on the mac there is at least a way to see the signal to noise ratio but I’m not sure about sorting by it. It’s in one of the menus but I can’t check what it is right now. at 2010-08-25 15:50:20
