Video Sandbox 64: How Fast is Fast Enough?

The WWDC has come and gone. Developers are mixed in their feelings. You can write apps for the iPhone, but they have to run on Web 2.0. Consumers were disappointed because nothing shiny was released. In a frenzy, consumers tipped over Phil Schiller and set him ablaze. Geez, I wonder why no shiny things? Could it be that it was a conference for DEVELOPERS!?! They want under the hood announcements, not shiny toys! Consumer releases are saved for Macworlds and Apple Special Events. So, if you're bemoaning the lack of hardware announcements, stop whining will ya, I'm trying to get a bit of kip! All this begs the question - Why are most people looking for more powerful machines? The average Bill Gates has more power in an entry level MacBook than they'll ever use. Just how fast do you need TextEdit to open a new window? Only pros who work in fields like media, engineering, science, etc., have the need for more speed. So, give it a rest. The iPhone is almost here and as good as sold out. Macworld Paris is coming up soon. They'll probably have some new goodies in the toy chest there. If you're good little geeks. End of rant. This week's Sandbox is free and roughly 21 minutes long. It's green in color and is citrus scented. Highlights feature me playing one-on-one with LeBron James, communicating with the deceased wife of former President Howard Taft from the grating beyond and giving you step by step instructions on how to create an origami likeness of Phil Schiller. There's also The Human Condition, a piece by Will Farrel (can't be bad), Dennis' Op-Ed and more music from the Podsafe Music Network. And if you're really good, free coupons for Cascade Laundry Detergent. YOWZA!
