didn't actually print the did you I
[TS]
00:01:39
◼
►
printed it and I put every page up on a
[TS]
00:01:42
◼
►
wall of the house so that I could just
[TS]
00:01:45
◼

sort of almost like an art gallery each

page a perfect piece of artwork and just

helping with that but it came close and
[TS]
00:02:03
◼
►
it wouldn't have been string it would
[TS]
00:02:04
◼
►
have been multicolored yarn you're right
[TS]
00:02:07
◼
►
I think you're right but it was that
[TS]
00:02:09
◼
►
that was the idea was going from no I
[TS]
00:02:11
◼
►
didn't actually it was a little bit a
[TS]
00:02:12
◼
►
little bit of a
[TS]
00:02:13
◼
►
of a story when I started reading it I
[TS]
00:02:15
◼
►
started reading it on the web and then I
[TS]
00:02:18
◼
►
thought well you know I want to be a
[TS]
00:02:19
◼
►
little bit more mobile than this and I
[TS]
00:02:23
◼
►
thought well you know I could use one of
[TS]
00:02:24
◼
►
those readability read later Instapaper
[TS]
00:02:27
◼
►
type things to do it I said but instead
[TS]
00:02:29
◼
►
let's let's see how this thing looks you
[TS]
00:02:31
◼
►
know through like an e-book format so I
[TS]
00:02:36
◼
►
hopefully you get credit because I used
[TS]
00:02:38
◼
►
your affiliate link to buy the Kindle
[TS]
00:02:41
◼
►
version of it so hopefully you'll get
[TS]
00:02:42
◼
►
that and hopefully you get some cut of
[TS]
00:02:44
◼
►
the sales because you know you should
[TS]
00:02:47
◼
►
but anyway there that aside it was great
[TS]
00:02:51
◼
►
I read it I read it on my iPad starting
[TS]
00:02:53
◼
►
about a third of the way through I read
[TS]
00:02:54
◼
►
that the last you know two thirds of it
[TS]
00:02:57
◼
►
on the iPad a great experience
[TS]
00:03:00
◼
►
you know I said on the past shows that
[TS]
00:03:02
◼
►
the way I thought was best to read it
[TS]
00:03:05
◼
►
was on the web and I still believe that
[TS]
00:03:06
◼
►
having seen like I bought my own Kindle
[TS]
00:03:09
◼
►
version of the book - and I've seen the
[TS]
00:03:11
◼
►
eBook version that you get if you're an
[TS]
00:03:12
◼
►
ARS premier subscriber which is very
[TS]
00:03:15
◼
►
similar and they're not they're not as
[TS]
00:03:16
◼
►
good as the web version web version has
[TS]
00:03:19
◼
►
more stuff Kindle is awful with
[TS]
00:03:21
◼
►
transparent paintings like the Kindle
[TS]
00:03:23
◼
►
reader apps are they don't know how to
[TS]
00:03:25
◼
►
display transparent pink so all of these
[TS]
00:03:27
◼
►
screenshots that you take with command
[TS]
00:03:29
◼
►
shift 4 and then spacebar to get the
[TS]
00:03:30
◼
►
image and the shadow behind it yeah the
[TS]
00:03:32
◼
►
transparent shadows get screwed up by
[TS]
00:03:34
◼
►
the Kindle app stuff like that just as
[TS]
00:03:36
◼
►
you can imagine drives me up a wall well
[TS]
00:03:39
◼
►
let me actually do I still say the best
[TS]
00:03:40
◼
►
way to read it is on the web whether for
[TS]
00:03:43
◼
►
free just go to the website and read it
[TS]
00:03:45
◼
►
or pay for the RS premier or
[TS]
00:03:47
◼
►
subscription and you get no ads and all
[TS]
00:03:48
◼
►
this other stuff that you get but also
[TS]
00:03:49
◼
►
you can view it all in one page if
[TS]
00:03:51
◼
►
that's what you want I actually like it
[TS]
00:03:53
◼
►
split up on several pages when I read
[TS]
00:03:55
◼
►
long long things at the our site so I
[TS]
00:03:57
◼
►
can keep track of where I am let me just
[TS]
00:03:59
◼
►
ask you a question about that because
[TS]
00:04:00
◼
►
you mentioned the screenshots all of the
[TS]
00:04:02
◼
►
screenshots that you took which were
[TS]
00:04:03
◼
►
which were great I was actually to be
[TS]
00:04:05
◼
►
honest the way you were talking about
[TS]
00:04:06
◼
►
having to redo all of them every time
[TS]
00:04:08
◼
►
Apple changed something I was expecting
[TS]
00:04:12
◼
►
more of them and I was pleased that
[TS]
00:04:14
◼
►
there that there weren't more of them I
[TS]
00:04:15
◼
►
thought it was just right just the right
[TS]
00:04:17
◼
►
amount but how come you take the
[TS]
00:04:21
◼
►
screenshots with the the drop shadows
[TS]
00:04:23
◼
►
behind them is that because you know I
[TS]
00:04:26
◼
►
mean of if
[TS]
00:04:27
◼
►
if anybody knows you can do it another
[TS]
00:04:28
◼
►
way you know certainly that you can
[TS]
00:04:30
◼
►
disable the drop shadows why why keep
[TS]
00:04:32
◼
►
them just because that transparency
[TS]
00:04:35
◼
►
aliasing type issue if you know that
[TS]
00:04:37
◼
►
that might not translate well to a
[TS]
00:04:38
◼
►
printed thing or to a different format
[TS]
00:04:40
◼
►
why why keep the drop shadows well first
[TS]
00:04:43
◼
►
of all I didn't know going in that the
[TS]
00:04:45
◼
►
kindle can't handle transparent images
[TS]
00:04:47
◼
►
it seems like you know it's 2011 it's
[TS]
00:04:50
◼
►
not like transparency and images to
[TS]
00:04:51
◼
►
something new so how do I know not going
[TS]
00:04:53
◼
►
in I don't know maybe I would have made
[TS]
00:04:55
◼
►
different choices for the Kindle version
[TS]
00:04:57
◼
►
or tried to make duplicates for the
[TS]
00:04:58
◼
►
Kindle or something right but for for
[TS]
00:05:00
◼
►
Mac OS 10 screenshots for a long time I
[TS]
00:05:02
◼
►
was doing them without the drop shall
[TS]
00:05:04
◼
►
use absolve are and stuff like that but
[TS]
00:05:07
◼
►
Mac OS 10 windows have never really had
[TS]
00:05:10
◼
►
edges like if you if you zoom in on them
[TS]
00:05:14
◼
►
with a you know the pixie or whatever
[TS]
00:05:15
◼
►
other screen zoom tool you want to do is
[TS]
00:05:17
◼
►
they don't actually have edges they have
[TS]
00:05:19
◼
►
the content ends right and then there's
[TS]
00:05:21
◼
►
a one pixel thing that's kind of
[TS]
00:05:23
◼
►
transparent and you don't realize that's
[TS]
00:05:26
◼
►
not the edge when you're looking at it
[TS]
00:05:27
◼
►
looks like the edge like it you know
[TS]
00:05:28
◼
►
from a distance it appears as a crisp
[TS]
00:05:30
◼
►
edge there but the transparency shows up
[TS]
00:05:32
◼
►
if you trim everything out but still
[TS]
00:05:35
◼
►
include that one pixel line you realize
[TS]
00:05:37
◼
►
huh that one pixel line is picking up
[TS]
00:05:38
◼
►
the background so if you have some
[TS]
00:05:40
◼
►
dramatic background like one of those
[TS]
00:05:41
◼
►
nature images or something that comes
[TS]
00:05:42
◼
►
with Mac OS 10 and you chop everything
[TS]
00:05:45
◼
►
out you're like why the hell does the
[TS]
00:05:46
◼
►
border look all orange over here and
[TS]
00:05:48
◼
►
blue over there then you don't realize
[TS]
00:05:49
◼
►
it's not right and your other choices
[TS]
00:05:50
◼
►
all right so fine chop off that border
[TS]
00:05:53
◼
►
but then it looks like you you don't how
[TS]
00:05:55
◼
►
to use an image editor that you poorly
[TS]
00:05:56
◼
►
you know cut the thing especially if the
[TS]
00:05:58
◼
►
background of the webpage it's being
[TS]
00:06:00
◼
►
displayed on is a similar college the
[TS]
00:06:01
◼
►
content area they seem to blend together
[TS]
00:06:03
◼
►
the window has no edge and finally
[TS]
00:06:06
◼
►
there's the rounded corners which on in
[TS]
00:06:08
◼
►
line are actually top and bottom on a
[TS]
00:06:09
◼
►
lot of windows the rounded corners you
[TS]
00:06:12
◼
►
have to deal with something there you
[TS]
00:06:12
◼
►
can't have an image that set shape so
[TS]
00:06:14
◼
►
you do have to have transparency in the
[TS]
00:06:15
◼
►
corners and then you this the even worse
[TS]
00:06:16
◼
►
problem because you've got a one pixel
[TS]
00:06:18
◼
►
transparent fade on the corners that's
[TS]
00:06:20
◼
►
fading into the background and forget
[TS]
00:06:22
◼
►
about trying to trim that off by hand or
[TS]
00:06:24
◼
►
do anything with it it's just a big mess
[TS]
00:06:25
◼
►
drop shadow gets rid of all that it's
[TS]
00:06:27
◼
►
already transparent you can trim the
[TS]
00:06:29
◼
►
drop shadow only thing I didn't like in
[TS]
00:06:30
◼
►
line is the drop shadow got way bigger
[TS]
00:06:31
◼
►
so now I have to truncate the drop
[TS]
00:06:34
◼
►
shadow on windows much more than I used
[TS]
00:06:36
◼
►
to have to and you can see that cut off
[TS]
00:06:37
◼
►
between like the smooth fade and then is
[TS]
00:06:39
◼
►
like the sharp cut off before
[TS]
00:06:40
◼
►
goes to the background of the webpages
[TS]
00:06:42
◼
►
display it on so it's the lesser of many
[TS]
00:06:44
◼
►
different evils and I believe me I've
[TS]
00:06:46
◼
►
tried every possible approach and this
[TS]
00:06:47
◼
►
is the one that drives me crazy the
[TS]
00:06:49
◼
►
least let me just interrupt for a second
[TS]
00:06:51
◼
►
John your train of thought and and say
[TS]
00:06:53
◼
►
if you're listening to this and you have
[TS]
00:06:55
◼
►
not yet read this line review at ARS
[TS]
00:07:00
◼
►
technica written by John siracusa then
[TS]
00:07:02
◼
►

[TS]
00:07:04
◼
►

[TS]
00:07:06
◼
►
half shame if you didn't in some way or
[TS]
00:07:10
◼
►

[TS]
00:07:13
◼
►

[TS]
00:07:15
◼
►
supporting John in some fashion shame on
[TS]
00:07:18
◼
►
you I just want to be clear about that
[TS]
00:07:21
◼
►
half shame for the second one alright so
[TS]
00:07:24
◼
►
there's so much stuff to go through in
[TS]
00:07:27
◼
►
this review I'm not quite sure where to
[TS]
00:07:28
◼
►
begin but I figure I'll get my personal
[TS]
00:07:32
◼
►
whining out of the way first and then
[TS]
00:07:34
◼
►
I'll let you drive and just say like
[TS]
00:07:36
◼
►
that you can pick out parts that you
[TS]
00:07:37
◼
►
thought were interesting we can jump off
[TS]
00:07:39
◼
►
from there well I have to I have to tell
[TS]
00:07:40
◼
►
you I'm very nervous about this quiz you
[TS]
00:07:42
◼
►
were maybe you were kidding but I've
[TS]
00:07:44
◼
►
been very nervous about it like I don't
[TS]
00:07:45
◼
►
get nervous doing these shows even
[TS]
00:07:47
◼
►
though I realize we have you know very
[TS]
00:07:48
◼
►
large audience I do shows every day so
[TS]
00:07:50
◼
►
I've become accustomed to being you know
[TS]
00:07:53
◼
►
live and recording live and having a
[TS]
00:07:54
◼
►
large audience I've never been as
[TS]
00:07:57
◼
►
nervous as I am today to prepared for
[TS]
00:08:01
◼
►
this quiz because I know I'm gonna I
[TS]
00:08:02
◼
►
know I'm going to fail it I know it's
[TS]
00:08:03
◼
►
all it's all opinion-based don't worry
[TS]
00:08:05
◼
►
okay alright so so first I'm going to
[TS]
00:08:09
◼
►
talk about my experience of publishing
[TS]
00:08:12
◼
►
this review which is a little inside
[TS]
00:08:14
◼
►
baseball but it's one thing that I can
[TS]
00:08:16
◼
►
offer that other people talking about
[TS]
00:08:18
◼
►
the same review can't so I figured this
[TS]
00:08:20
◼
►
is the place for it so I thought when I
[TS]
00:08:24
◼
►
was doing this that I would be very
[TS]
00:08:26
◼
►
relieved when it finally got published
[TS]
00:08:28
◼
►
and I figured there would be the usual
[TS]
00:08:30
◼
►
kind of scramble in the couple minutes
[TS]
00:08:33
◼
►
after its published to you know fix
[TS]
00:08:34
◼
►
typos and slang like that oh and all
[TS]
00:08:37
◼
►
that was true but one thing a couple
[TS]
00:08:40
◼
►
conditions conspired to make this much
[TS]
00:08:42
◼
►
more difficult birth so to speak than my
[TS]
00:08:44

►
previous reviews the first as I've
[TS]
00:08:46
◼
►
talked about before was that Apple gave
[TS]
00:08:49
◼
►
the release date as just July and they
[TS]
00:08:51
◼
►
didn't know when July would be ready so
[TS]
00:08:52
◼
►
I tried to be ready in July
[TS]
00:08:54
◼
►
first because that's the worst case
[TS]
00:08:56
◼
►
scenario that they actually release on
[TS]
00:08:57
◼
►
July 1st I have to be ready you know day
[TS]
00:08:59
◼
►
off right I mean it I did wasn't ready
[TS]
00:09:03
◼
►
on the first but I did get it finished
[TS]
00:09:04
◼
►
on the third but I was in such a mad
[TS]
00:09:06
◼
►
rush to get finished that I always felt
[TS]
00:09:08
◼
►
that the latter sections of the review
[TS]
00:09:11
◼
►
like sort of where I tailed off where I
[TS]
00:09:13
◼
►
had to just hurry up and get this thing
[TS]
00:09:14
◼
►
done were not up to snuff and not up to
[TS]
00:09:17
◼
►
snuff in a particular way now if you
[TS]
00:09:19
◼
►
look go back through the reviews that
[TS]
00:09:20
◼
►
I've written it used to be that and this
[TS]
00:09:23
◼
►
this is one of the things that gave me
[TS]
00:09:24
◼
►
the reputation I had now used to be that
[TS]
00:09:26
◼
►
the idea was from version X to version
[TS]
00:09:28
◼
►
why I would tell you every single little
[TS]
00:09:31
◼
►
miniscule thing to change and that used
[TS]
00:09:34
◼
►
to actually be possible from like ten
[TS]
00:09:35
◼
►
point zero to ten point one or ten point
[TS]
00:09:37
◼
►
one to ten point two not that much
[TS]
00:09:38
◼
►
changed right and I was so embroiled in
[TS]
00:09:41
◼
►
Mac OS 10 then it so interested in every
[TS]
00:09:44
◼
►
little detail like I said well they move
[TS]
00:09:45
◼
►
this thing by pixel may change how
[TS]
00:09:46
◼
►
that's worded move that around like that
[TS]
00:09:48
◼
►
ah and that sort of that sort of ramped
[TS]
00:09:52
◼
►
up as it went along it became harder
[TS]
00:09:53
◼
►
from you do that in fact what I started
[TS]
00:09:54
◼
►
to do was as other people start to
[TS]
00:09:55
◼
►
notice Mac OS 10 they would do those NDA
[TS]
00:09:58
◼
►
breaking things where for months at a
[TS]
00:09:59
◼
►
time they'd be saying hey look we found
[TS]
00:10:00
◼
►
this hey look we found that and I would
[TS]
00:10:02
◼
►
comb the I've been collectibles all this
[TS]
00:10:05
◼
►
together so when I published mine it
[TS]
00:10:06
◼
►
would basically be a collection of
[TS]
00:10:07
◼
►
things I discovered my own plus
[TS]
00:10:08
◼
►
hopefully every other interesting thing
[TS]
00:10:10
◼
►
that I could discover that anyone else
[TS]
00:10:11
◼
►
discovered collected in one spot so if
[TS]
00:10:13
◼
►
you want to know every possible thing
[TS]
00:10:14
◼
►
that was changed you would know it now
[TS]
00:10:16
◼
►
somewhere in the middle of Mac os10
[TS]
00:10:17
◼
►
sister II I started to drift from that
[TS]
00:10:19
◼
►
for a couple of reasons first was that
[TS]
00:10:21
◼
►
it interested me less you know that they
[TS]
00:10:24
◼
►
move this pixel here or they change this
[TS]
00:10:26
◼
►
checkbox or that you know this used to
[TS]
00:10:27
◼
►
be option modifier but now it's shift
[TS]
00:10:29
◼
►
and stuff like that I became less
[TS]
00:10:31
◼
►
interested in the small things like that
[TS]
00:10:32
◼
►
and I came more interested in the big
[TS]
00:10:33
◼
►
things like you know the message of the
[TS]
00:10:35
◼
►
OS where is this going what what does
[TS]
00:10:37
◼
►
this change mean for the future of the
[TS]
00:10:39
◼
►
users or the platform or anything like
[TS]
00:10:41
◼
►
that and the second was they just
[TS]
00:10:43
◼
►
started changing way too many things
[TS]
00:10:44
◼
►
like it was just no way that a single
[TS]
00:10:46
◼
►
person I could find all the things that
[TS]
00:10:49
◼
►
had changed even if you're scouring the
[TS]
00:10:51
◼
►
web and the final one I think is that I
[TS]
00:10:54
◼
►
lost interested in I think readers did
[TS]
00:10:56
◼
►
too and that you can't have 30,000 words
[TS]
00:10:59
◼
►
just screen after screen showing the old
[TS]
00:11:03
◼
►
version like this the new version was
[TS]
00:11:04
◼
►
like that this modify change that modify
[TS]
00:11:06
◼
►
change this button changed over the
[TS]
00:11:09
◼
►
you know it it's just it's just not as
[TS]
00:11:12
◼
►
interesting to readers I don't think I
[TS]
00:11:14
◼
►
think if you if you saw pages upon pages
[TS]
00:11:16
◼
►
of that I wouldn't be able to do what I
[TS]
00:11:18
◼
►
normally try to do when all these
[TS]
00:11:19
◼
►
reviews just have some sort of through a
[TS]
00:11:21
◼
►
thread or a narrative structure to it if
[TS]
00:11:24
◼
►
I'm just going through an annotating
[TS]
00:11:26
◼
►
screenshots like I think this is what
[TS]
00:11:27
◼
►
you were saying you were fearing when I
[TS]
00:11:28
◼
►
when you said there's going to be a lot
[TS]
00:11:29
◼
►
of screenshots you're gonna phrase just
[TS]
00:11:30
◼
►
gonna be screen after screen it's know
[TS]
00:11:32
◼
►
exactly things exactly and just like a
[TS]
00:11:34
◼
►
few little cut like a few little
[TS]
00:11:36
◼
►
comments underneath you see a lot on the
[TS]
00:11:37
◼
►
web and it's definitely a place from
[TS]
00:11:38
◼
►
that in fact the artist people decided a
[TS]
00:11:41
◼
►
one point in the review I said if you're
[TS]
00:11:43
◼
►
looking for a screenshot gallery that
[TS]
00:11:44
◼
►
shows you every change screen this isn't
[TS]
00:11:46
◼
►
it you can find other ones on the web
[TS]
00:11:47
◼
►
and the arts guys when they're editing
[TS]
00:11:49
◼
►
your review said you know why don't we
[TS]
00:11:51
◼
►
do one of those so that we don't have to
[TS]
00:11:52
◼
►
direct people to another website I said
[TS]
00:11:54
◼
►
yeah you should do one because there's a
[TS]
00:11:55
◼
►
place for that some people want that and
[TS]
00:11:56
◼
►
I would like to give it to them so they
[TS]
00:11:59
◼
►
did a line screenshot gallery and I link
[TS]
00:12:01
◼
►
to it from my review to say this is what
[TS]
00:12:03
◼
►
you're looking for this is this over
[TS]
00:12:04
◼
►
here but my thing is over there but
[TS]
00:12:06
◼
►
anyway getting back to the release date
[TS]
00:12:08
◼
►
I wanted to do more of that type of
[TS]
00:12:11
◼
►
stuff like I say that for the end like I
[TS]
00:12:13
◼
►
have copious copious notes of all these
[TS]
00:12:15
◼
►
little things that changed here and
[TS]
00:12:16
◼
►
there and I wanted to add to have a
[TS]
00:12:18
◼
►
couple weeks at the end to just do the
[TS]
00:12:20
◼
►
grab bag section properly or flesh out
[TS]
00:12:22
◼
►
the application change of section with
[TS]
00:12:24
◼
►
all these little things that were in my
[TS]
00:12:25
◼
►
notes but I just didn't get to it and
[TS]
00:12:26
◼
►
once I shipped it it was just like on
[TS]
00:12:29
◼
►
the third once I put it off into the
[TS]
00:12:30
◼
►
editorial process it's like I can't you
[TS]
00:12:33
◼
►
know I can't go back and keep changing
[TS]
00:12:35
◼
►
this because that will not ever allow
[TS]
00:12:37
◼
►
them as they're making ebook versions
[TS]
00:12:38
◼
►
and they have to copy edit and they have
[TS]
00:12:40
◼
►
to you know go through regular editing
[TS]
00:12:42
◼
►
and like I can't keep going back say oh
[TS]
00:12:43
◼
►
and by the way I just changed 2,000
[TS]
00:12:45
◼
►
words oh and here's a whole big new
[TS]
00:12:46
◼
►
thing because we had to be ready to go
[TS]
00:12:48
◼
►
any day we didn't know when it was going
[TS]
00:12:49
◼
►
to come out right so I just didn't get
[TS]
00:12:53
◼
►
that you know if it was if it was a hard
[TS]
00:12:55
◼
►
date and that date was the actual data
[TS]
00:12:57
◼
►
was released the 19th or whatever I
[TS]
00:12:58
◼
►
don't remember anymore I would have
[TS]
00:13:00
◼
►
worked right up to the limit where they
[TS]
00:13:02
◼
►
would have X number of days for editing
[TS]
00:13:04
◼
►
and stuff but as things stood it had to
[TS]
00:13:06
◼
►
go in the third go through the process
[TS]
00:13:07
◼
►
and then it kind of sat there and then
[TS]
00:13:08
◼
►
it's like well can I go back in and add
[TS]
00:13:11
◼
►
stuff now
[TS]
00:13:12
◼
►
well that means anything I add has to be
[TS]
00:13:14
◼
►
recopy edited has to be reincorporating
[TS]
00:13:16
◼
►
to the e-book versions and the ebook
[TS]
00:13:17
◼
►
versions even though Amazon was had a
[TS]
00:13:19
◼
►
quick turnaround time we didn't know it
[TS]
00:13:20
◼
►
was going to be quick so we
[TS]
00:13:21
◼
►
- that ebook version was being worked on
[TS]
00:13:24
◼
►
and had to be submitted and I just
[TS]
00:13:27
◼
►
didn't touch it after it was in there on
[TS]
00:13:28
◼
►
the third except for one or two minor
[TS]
00:13:30
◼
►
things and then when it shipped III all
[TS]
00:13:35
◼
►
I could think of was like all the all
[TS]
00:13:36
◼
►
the ways that I had failed to live up to
[TS]
00:13:38
◼
►
what I expected out of that part of the
[TS]
00:13:40
◼
►
review now the other part of the review
[TS]
00:13:42
◼
►
the part where I'm talking about what
[TS]
00:13:43
◼
►
these changes mean for the OS and the
[TS]
00:13:44
◼
►
direction the future I was very happy
[TS]
00:13:46
◼
►
with that just wasn't happy with the
[TS]
00:13:48
◼
►
with the amount of detail I wanted to
[TS]
00:13:50
◼
►
cover you even down to things like you
[TS]
00:13:53
◼
►
know these are not things that I was
[TS]
00:13:55
◼
►
completely unaware of they're in my
[TS]
00:13:56
◼
►
notes right I didn't even get time to go
[TS]
00:13:58
◼
►
through all my notes and say what I
[TS]
00:14:00
◼
►
wanted to do was go through I know it's
[TS]
00:14:01
◼
►
line by line and said that I talked
[TS]
00:14:02
◼
►
about that yes/no or decided not to that
[TS]
00:14:04
◼
►
I talked about that yes/no or decided
[TS]
00:14:06
◼
►
not to that just didn't have time that I
[TS]
00:14:08
◼
►
was just so burnt out by the time it was
[TS]
00:14:10
◼
►
done so that disappointed me and sure
[TS]
00:14:13
◼
►
enough when it shipped first said that
[TS]
00:14:15
◼
►
the reign of typos and stuff coming I
[TS]
00:14:17
◼
►
was actually pretty good considering
[TS]
00:14:18
◼
►
27,000 word there was maybe 20 instances
[TS]
00:14:21
◼
►
of typos or a teacher knows nothing
[TS]
00:14:23
◼
►
thank ya the copy editors at ours are
[TS]
00:14:25
◼
►
actually really good and the stuff that
[TS]
00:14:27
◼
►
they missed is you know it's
[TS]
00:14:29
◼
►
understandable one or two double words I
[TS]
00:14:31
◼
►
could say was that maybe should have
[TS]
00:14:33
◼
►
been caught by copy editing but you know
[TS]
00:14:35
◼
►
I don't even know those guys do what
[TS]
00:14:36
◼
►
they do I wouldn't have caught any of
[TS]
00:14:38
◼
►
them because I'm a horrible copy editor
[TS]
00:14:41
◼
►
but the second thing that burned me is
[TS]
00:14:43
◼
►
that even though as you discussed in
[TS]
00:14:45
◼
►
previous shows even though the build
[TS]
00:14:46
◼
►
number for the retail release of this
[TS]
00:14:47
◼
►
thing is the same as the build number
[TS]
00:14:48
◼
►
for the GM seed it's not the same thing
[TS]
00:14:52
◼
►
and I felt a little bit better when I
[TS]
00:14:55
◼
►
read the exact same what least one of
[TS]
00:14:56
◼
►
the exact same mistakes in the macro
[TS]
00:14:58
◼
►
review I had a section interview where I
[TS]
00:15:00
◼
►
initially talked about how you know the
[TS]
00:15:02
◼
►
doc indicator light strong application
[TS]
00:15:04
◼
►
she's running yeah I talked about how
[TS]
00:15:06
◼
►
those were not turned on by default and
[TS]
00:15:09
◼
►
how the message Apple was sending with
[TS]
00:15:11
◼
►
that well they weren't turned on by
[TS]
00:15:13
◼
►
default and every single build including
[TS]
00:15:15
◼
►
the GMC bill but in the retail release
[TS]
00:15:17
◼
►
they're on so even though it's the same
[TS]
00:15:19
◼
►
build they change things in the OS
[TS]
00:15:20
◼
►
things like that things like what the
[TS]
00:15:22
◼
►
default setting is when you do a new
[TS]
00:15:23
◼
►
install it's not like it's a different
[TS]
00:15:25
◼
►
build of the OS but when you install it
[TS]
00:15:27
◼
►
you get a different experience and there
[TS]
00:15:29
◼
►
are and that could you know that could
[TS]
00:15:31
◼
►
have been very very much a last minute
[TS]
00:15:33
◼
►
decision right like the night of
[TS]
00:15:35
◼
►
that's what I was getting to when I was
[TS]
00:15:37
◼
►
trying to say that like always wait for
[TS]
00:15:39
◼
►
the retail release if you possibly can
[TS]
00:15:42
◼
►
because even and this is a extreme case
[TS]
00:15:45
◼
►
it is exactly the same build number so
[TS]
00:15:47
◼
►
I'm sure the binaries in the libraries
[TS]
00:15:48
◼
►
are all exactly the same as the GMC but
[TS]
00:15:50
◼
►
it is not quote unquote the same OS
[TS]
00:15:52
◼
►
because if you install the GMC at an
[TS]
00:15:54
◼
►
empty hard drive and you install the
[TS]
00:15:55
◼
►
retail release on an empty hard drive
[TS]
00:15:56
◼
►
when you launch them one has dots under
[TS]
00:15:58
◼
►
the dock running app someone doesn't
[TS]
00:16:00
◼
►
stuff like that getting burned because
[TS]
00:16:03
◼
►
we were viewing the GMC was tough and
[TS]
00:16:05
◼
►
that was something new in this
[TS]
00:16:06
◼
►
experience because in the past almost
[TS]
00:16:08
◼
►
always they give you like this is the
[TS]
00:16:10
◼
►
final GM you've got a week to test your
[TS]
00:16:11
◼
►
applications with it it's going to show
[TS]
00:16:13
◼
►
up in stores on this date and we would
[TS]
00:16:14
◼
►
know it's the final jam like it would be
[TS]
00:16:16
◼
►
a disk image it would be byte for byte
[TS]
00:16:19
◼
►
identical to if you burned it to the
[TS]
00:16:21
◼
►
disk image you buy in a store so that
[TS]
00:16:24
◼
►
was a little bit tough and then finally
[TS]

this I made a whole bunch of just dumb
[TS]
00:16:29
◼

mistakes and since this is hypocritical
[TS]
00:16:32
◼

I should go through a few of them this
[TS]
00:16:34
◼

is not going to be a comprehensive list
[TS]
00:16:35
◼

but this is just kind of be an example
[TS]
00:16:38
◼

of each kind of error maybe so the doc
[TS]
00:16:42

indicator lights already went through

about that right no one had the retail

published right you know or close to it

trying to figure out how the

installation process works with the
[TS]
00:17:01
◼

recovery partition and everything like
[TS]
00:17:02
◼

that I got fooled by I mean I had a
[TS]
00:17:06
◼
►
limited amount of nosing around I could
[TS]
00:17:07
◼
►
do from the terminal to try to figure
[TS]
00:17:10
◼
►
out what the heck is it actually booting
[TS]
00:17:11
◼
►
from what does it look like and I got
[TS]
00:17:12
◼
►
fooled by the fact that the thing that
[TS]
00:17:14
◼
►
boots from looks very similar to the
[TS]
00:17:16
◼
►
recovery partition but it doesn't
[TS]
00:17:17
◼
►
actually reboot from the recovery
[TS]
00:17:18
◼
►
partition when it goes to the Installer
[TS]
00:17:20
◼
►
it does a separate boot image on the
[TS]
00:17:21
◼

boot drive then creates the repair every
[TS]
00:17:23
◼
►
partition oh is there all technical
[TS]
00:17:25
◼
►
details no one cares about that kills me
[TS]
00:17:26
◼
►
when I know that well you're going for a
[TS]
00:17:28
◼
►
hundred percent accuracy that's right oh
[TS]
00:17:30
◼
►
yeah I 100% and I can't talk about the
[TS]
00:17:32
◼
►
preview show I didn't just assume that
[TS]
00:17:33
◼
►
from the recovery job I said let me
[TS]
00:17:35
◼
►
confirm this let me get into a terminal
[TS]
00:17:37
◼
►
when I'm in that stage and install
[TS]
00:17:38
◼
►
process see if I can poke around and
[TS]
00:17:39
◼
►
look at what the heck of this is and
[TS]
00:17:41
◼
►
where it's mounted and what the contents
[TS]
00:17:42
◼
►
are and I just I just got fooled because
[TS]
00:17:44
◼
►
it looks like something that was
[TS]
00:17:46
◼
►
familiar to me I didn't realize it
[TS]
00:17:47
◼
►
you know busy can't tell what what
[TS]
00:17:49
◼
►
slashes and where it's coming from
[TS]
00:17:50
◼
►
especially when it's booting off a disk
[TS]
00:17:52
◼
►
image and it's it's difficult to
[TS]
00:17:54
◼
►
understand all that stuff so I was
[TS]
00:17:57
◼
►
annoyed by that Apple broke a bunch of
[TS]
00:18:00
◼
►
my links to documentation which annoyed
[TS]
00:18:02
◼
►
me the day line was released they
[TS]
00:18:04
◼
►
rejiggered all their documentation now I
[TS]
00:18:06
◼
►
never linked to the documentation that
[TS]
00:18:08
◼
►
was under like the pre-release URLs
[TS]
00:18:10
◼
►
because I know those aren't going to
[TS]
00:18:11
◼
►
work for people I'm linking to things
[TS]
00:18:13
◼
►
like techno this is one that you really
[TS]
00:18:15
◼
►
can only tech node 1150 which talks
[TS]
00:18:16
◼
►
about the HFS+ vol format which as you
[TS]
00:18:18
◼
►
can imagine I linked to like six times
[TS]
00:18:19
◼
►
various sections of it you know have
[TS]
00:18:21
◼
►
anchors within because it's a very long
[TS]
00:18:23
◼
►
document I linked to various sections of
[TS]
00:18:25
◼
►
it to explain certain concepts if you
[TS]
00:18:26
◼
►
didn't know what I was talking about
[TS]
00:18:28
◼
►
they removed that from the web entirely
[TS]
00:18:30
◼
►
so not only they moved the URL that I
[TS]
00:18:32
◼
►
there is no URL for I found one guy who
[TS]
00:18:34
◼
►
had copy pasted it years ago and I
[TS]
00:18:36
◼
►
updated the web version to include links
[TS]
00:18:38
◼
►
to that and I talked to some Apple
[TS]
00:18:41
◼
►
people and they basically said we
[TS]
00:18:42
◼
►
cleaned up our documentation if there's
[TS]
00:18:44
◼
►
some documentation that used to be there
[TS]
00:18:45
◼
►
it's not and you want it back file a bug
[TS]
00:18:46
◼
►
which is just basically did you know
[TS]
00:18:50
◼
►
it's like the you know the old saying
[TS]
00:18:51
◼
►
what patches welcome translates to in
[TS]
00:18:53
◼
►
the open source world right what does
[TS]
00:18:56
◼
►
fu mm-hmm patches welcome file a bug if
[TS]
00:18:59
◼
►
you want it back they're serious I know
[TS]
00:19:01
◼
►
but like it's not the type of turnaround
[TS]
00:19:03
◼
►
time I expect I need something these
[TS]
00:19:05
◼
►
links can go to now so I linked to this
[TS]
00:19:06
◼
►
guy's copy and pasted thing
[TS]
00:19:09
◼
►
what else did I get wrong some features
[TS]
00:19:11
◼
►
that were that I said were new in line
[TS]
00:19:14
◼
►
were not new in line they existed in
[TS]
00:19:15
◼
►
Snow Leopard I just never seen them
[TS]
00:19:16
◼
►
through a series of strange coincidence
[TS]
00:19:19
◼
►
like one of them is the the the
[TS]
00:19:22
◼
►
lockscreen allows you to switch to a
[TS]
00:19:24
◼
►
different user well I I use fast user
[TS]
00:19:27
◼
►
switching at home but I don't use screen
[TS]
00:19:29
◼
►
locking because you know it's in my
[TS]
00:19:30
◼
►
house and physically secure whatever and
[TS]
00:19:32
◼
►
at work I use screen locking for
[TS]
00:19:34
◼
►
security reasons but I don't use fast
[TS]
00:19:36
◼
►
user switching does I'm the only person
[TS]
00:19:37
◼
►
who's on the machine and this situation
[TS]
00:19:39
◼
►
has been the same across multiple jobs
[TS]
00:19:40
◼
►
and multiple Macs and all this conspired
[TS]
00:19:43
◼
►
to make me never actually see the switch
[TS]
00:19:44
◼
►
user button which apparently exists
[TS]
00:19:46
◼
►
under certain circumstances on Snow
[TS]
00:19:48
◼
►
Leopard if you have like the fast user
[TS]
00:19:50
◼
►
switching menu item enabled and and you
[TS]
00:19:53
◼
►
have multiple accounts and you have
[TS]
00:19:55
◼
►
screen locking turned on was another one
[TS]
00:20:00
◼
►
was another similar thing where it
[TS]
00:20:01
◼
►
actually existed in Snow Leopard and I
[TS]
00:20:02
◼
►
thought it was new and had to clarify
[TS]
00:20:05
◼
►
which aspects of a renew the entire
[TS]
00:20:07
◼
►
feature wasn't new but the appearance of
[TS]
00:20:09
◼
►
it was what our stuff like that kills me
[TS]
00:20:11
◼
►
and like so the first couple days the
[TS]
00:20:12
◼
►
thing was up all doing is run around
[TS]
00:20:14
◼
►
like a chicken with my head cut off
[TS]
00:20:15
◼
►
trying to fix these things and every
[TS]
00:20:17
◼
►
time I fix one I'm thinking that Kindle
[TS]
00:20:20
◼
►
version is out there without these
[TS]
00:20:21
◼
►
changes because Amazon system for
[TS]
00:20:23
◼
►
updating Kindle e-books sucks you can
[TS]
00:20:27
◼
►
upload a new version but then you ask
[TS]
00:20:29
◼
►
Amazon okay if I if I give you a new
[TS]
00:20:30
◼
►
version of this and you eventually you
[TS]
00:20:32
◼
►
know vet it and put it up on the thing
[TS]
00:20:34
◼
►
what happens to all the people who have
[TS]
00:20:35
◼
►
already purchased and already downloaded
[TS]
00:20:37
◼
►
this did they get the new version they
[TS]
00:20:38
◼
►
say no they can request the new version
[TS]
00:20:41
◼
►
from Amazon if they want some through
[TS]
00:20:43
◼
►
some mechanism so they have to like you
[TS]
00:20:45
◼
►
know and Amazon says will happily email
[TS]
00:20:47
◼
►
all the people who purchased it and tell
[TS]
00:20:49
◼
►
them hey if you want the new version
[TS]
00:20:50
◼
►
please send us a request and here's the
[TS]
00:20:51
◼
►
URL to go to like that's not 20 you know
[TS]
00:20:54
◼
►
and you don't want to do that every day
[TS]
00:20:55
◼
►
either I mean if you find one change
[TS]
00:20:57
◼
►
either one that email going in 2008 so
[TS]
00:20:59
◼
►
so there's necessarily days where in
[TS]
00:21:02
◼
►
fact I think the Kindle version is
[TS]
00:21:04
◼
►
actually finally updated now but there
[TS]
00:21:05
◼
►
are many days where just you know tons
[TS]
00:21:08
◼
►
and tons of changes the web version that
[TS]
00:21:09
◼
►
were not in the Kindle version so then I
[TS]
00:21:11
◼
►
had to endure repeated it's not I don't
[TS]
00:21:14
◼
►
say endure like these people
[TS]
00:21:15
◼
►
I'm glad every single one of these
[TS]
00:21:17
◼
►
people sent me in a correction it's just
[TS]
00:21:19
◼
►
tough when you know that the thing
[TS]
00:21:21
◼
►
they're telling you to correct has been
[TS]
00:21:22
◼
►
corrected on the web for a long time and
[TS]
00:21:24
◼
►
you're just wait'll version yet now
[TS]
00:21:27
◼
►
you're excited getting a sense of how
[TS]
00:21:29
◼
►
like an iOS developer feels once they've
[TS]
00:21:31
◼
►
submitted an app and it fixes all these
[TS]
00:21:33
◼
►
bugs that are giving it the one star
[TS]
00:21:35
◼
►
this app sucks reviews and they're just
[TS]
00:21:37
◼
►
like waiting on Apple to do something
[TS]
00:21:39
◼
►
that's exactly the same type of thing so
[TS]
00:21:40
◼
►
that was not a pleasant experience so
[TS]
00:21:44
◼
►
the launch was was rocky for me and how
[TS]
00:21:48
◼
►
are you handling it was all right I
[TS]
00:21:50
◼
►
could continue to wind it by that stuff
[TS]
00:21:51
◼
►
but I think you get the gist of it
[TS]
00:21:52
◼
►
that's so although everyone else was
[TS]
00:21:55
◼
►
happy that this review came out and I
[TS]
00:21:56
◼
►
was happy to it was difficult experience
[TS]
00:21:58
◼
►
for me they usually are difficult but I
[TS]
00:22:00
◼
►
always felt better knowing that I
[TS]
00:22:02
◼
►
quickly responded to them ah the web
[TS]
00:22:05
◼
►
version could be up-to-date and it would
[TS]
00:22:07
◼
►
be good and I could just tell people oh
[TS]
00:22:08
◼
►
I fix that reload right right now I
[TS]
00:22:10
◼
►
can't say that anymore all these people

a mixed vibe from you on the one hand I
[TS]
00:26:14
◼
►
mean you certainly did find a lot of
[TS]
00:26:15
◼
►
things to complain about but you also
[TS]
00:26:19
◼
►
seem to feel it was almost like it
[TS]
00:26:23
◼
►
generally I think of you as somebody
[TS]
00:26:24
◼
►
who's either neutral or pessimistic and
[TS]
00:26:27
◼
►
I feel like I wouldn't go so far say you
[TS]
00:26:31
◼
►
were optimistic about some things but
[TS]
00:26:33
◼
►
there is like I feel like there is just
[TS]
00:26:35
◼
►
a little tiny glimmer of hope in this
[TS]
00:26:39
◼
►
article that like maybe things will be
[TS]
00:26:42
◼
►
I feel like overall you thought it was
[TS]
00:26:46
◼

it was it showed promise it was a worthy
[TS]
00:26:49
◼

worthy upgrade it's something that
[TS]
00:26:51
◼

assuming your apps are compatible it's
[TS]
00:26:53
◼
►
something you should do you actually you
[TS]
00:26:56
◼

know I was surprised and something I
[TS]
00:26:57
◼
►
wanted to talk to you about was that
[TS]
00:26:58
◼
►
some of the recommendations that you
[TS]
00:27:00
◼

made even even using things like file
[TS]
00:27:03
◼
►
vault aka hold disk encryption things
[TS]
00:27:05
◼

like that I have a list of things that
[TS]
00:27:07
◼
►
wanted to ask you about but I can't do I
[TS]
00:27:09
◼
►
don't know how could I do a $0.01 this I
[TS]
00:27:11
◼
►
think you liked it and I think that you
[TS]
00:27:14
◼
►
feel like it shows a lot of steps in the
[TS]
00:27:17
◼
►
right direction and seems to acknowledge
[TS]
00:27:20
◼
►
a lot of issues that that have been
[TS]
00:27:23
◼
►
there in Mac OS 10 it shows that Apple
[TS]
00:27:25
◼
►
is acknowledging them and at least
[TS]
00:27:27
◼
►
taking steps in the right direction
[TS]
00:27:29
◼
►
clearly there's some visual interface
[TS]
00:27:31
◼
►
things that you know GUI things that you
[TS]
00:27:33
◼
►
do not like but you know when you talk
[TS]
00:27:36
◼
►
about the improvements or the potential
[TS]
00:27:39
◼
►
for improvements to the file system you
[TS]
00:27:42
◼
►
talked about you know memory management
[TS]
00:27:44
◼
►
things like that these are these are
[TS]
00:27:47
◼
►
beefs that you've had for a long time
[TS]
00:27:48
◼
►
and they might not be addressed fully
[TS]
00:27:50
◼
►
but it looks like apples laying the
[TS]
00:27:52
◼
►
groundwork for some of them so I feel
[TS]
00:27:54
◼
►
like you're cautiously optimistic does
[TS]
00:27:56
◼
►
that sound fair see I thought you have a
[TS]
00:27:59
◼
►
similar thing into the one that beginner
[TS]
00:28:01
◼
►
I thought I was much more naked ly
[TS]
00:28:02
◼
►
optimistic than most people who read it
[TS]
00:28:06
◼
►
thank a man especially people who know
[TS]
00:28:08
◼
►
you know if you listen to hypercritical
[TS]
00:28:09
◼
►
you know I'm very critical things so let
[TS]
00:28:13
◼
►
me let me read you this dude's or
[TS]
00:28:14
◼
►
persons really wanna meet you dude it
[TS]
00:28:17
◼
►
says I like the factual parts of the
[TS]
00:28:21
◼
►
review so far but I stopped reading at
[TS]
00:28:22
◼
►
page 7 you know these people who stop
[TS]
00:28:24
◼
►
reading it's always some how many
[TS]
00:28:25
◼
►
because because I read this on mostly on
[TS]
00:28:28
◼
►
the Kindle I don't know what how many
[TS]
00:28:29
◼
►
pages it was so what is page 7 is that
[TS]
00:28:31
◼
►
that's like midway through maybe
[TS]
00:28:32
◼
►
continue why big much of it is opinion
[TS]
00:28:36
◼
►
and what I take from it 90 95 percent
[TS]
00:28:38
◼
►
negative I'm sorry John I know you put a
[TS]
00:28:40
◼
►
lot of time into this but so far this
[TS]
00:28:42
◼
►
has come across to me with the attitude
[TS]
00:28:43
◼
►
that you dislike change or something
[TS]
00:28:45
◼
►
different it reminds me when people
[TS]
00:28:46
◼
►
travel to other countries and complain
[TS]
00:28:47
◼
►
about the way things are done
[TS]
00:28:48
◼
►
differently and how it's wrong and how
[TS]
00:28:50
◼
►
it's bad no I didn't get that at all I
[TS]
00:28:52
◼
►
totally disagree with that person
[TS]
00:28:55
◼
►
and say now it goes on - that's that's
[TS]
00:28:58
◼
►
the meat of the thing like and when I
[TS]
00:29:00
◼
►
see people who say ah bleu cheese a lot
[TS]
00:29:02
◼
►
of complaining I'm like walking maybe
[TS]
00:29:03
◼
►
this is somebody who's never read
[TS]
00:29:04
◼
►
anything that I've written before and
[TS]
00:29:06
◼
►
doesn't realize that you know of course
[TS]
00:29:07
◼
►
it's gonna be complaints now you can do
[TS]
00:29:09
◼
►
it and you doesn't mean I don't like
[TS]
00:29:10
◼
►
something you know I'm gonna complain
[TS]
00:29:12
◼
►
about everything right in fact the more
[TS]
00:29:15
◼
►
I think something has the potential to
[TS]
00:29:17
◼
►
be great or the more it is great in
[TS]
00:29:19
◼
►
other ways the more I'm prone to
[TS]
00:29:20
◼
►
complain about the parts that aren't
[TS]
00:29:21
◼
►
right but the idea that I'm one of those
[TS]
00:29:25
◼
►
people who who is against all of these
[TS]
00:29:29
◼
►
changes and you kind of talked about it
[TS]
00:29:31
◼
►
- and some of people in the chat room
[TS]
00:29:32
◼
►
said you know that consumerization the
[TS]
00:29:34
◼
►
iOS if ocation of the thing dumbing it
[TS]
00:29:38
◼
►
down protecting users from themselves
[TS]
00:29:40
◼
►
you know hiding things that somehow I
[TS]
00:29:44
◼
►
was against that and I and it's because
[TS]
00:29:48
◼
►
I'm a tech nerd and should just accept
[TS]
00:29:50
◼
►
that's the way supposed to be on the
[TS]
00:29:51
◼
►
other side of the coin there were other
[TS]
00:29:52
◼
►
people in the comments thread at least
[TS]
00:29:53
◼
►
one other guy I should have said to out
[TS]
00:29:55
◼
►
this thing who's like in the ending
[TS]
00:29:57
◼
►

[TS]
00:30:06
◼
►
now I know everything about everything
[TS]
00:30:07
◼
►
and Apple is dumbing things that I mean
[TS]
00:30:10
◼
►
you know there's always a guy like that
[TS]
00:30:11
◼
►
right I didn't respond to him someone
[TS]
00:30:13
◼
►
else in the comments that I respond to
[TS]
00:30:14
◼
►
him and said look you can't know

00:30:18
◼
►
know a lot about your computer but you
[TS]
00:30:19
◼
►
know how you know how much doping there
[TS]
00:30:20
◼
►
is in the silicon in each transistor you
[TS]
00:30:22
◼
►
know what the you know the gate leakage
[TS]
00:30:23
◼
►
current is I mean nobody knows
[TS]
00:30:25
◼
►
everything about everything and ever
[TS]
00:30:26
◼

00:30:28
◼
►

[TS]
00:30:30
◼
►

[TS]
00:30:32
◼
►
refrigerator do you know if it's freon
[TS]
00:30:34
◼
►

[TS]
00:30:36
◼
►
much voltage the compressor uses it
[TS]
00:30:38
◼
►
no-one knows everything about everything
[TS]
00:30:39
◼
►
it's impossible and that's just a
[TS]
00:30:41
◼
►
ridiculous argument so that's the other
[TS]
00:30:42
◼
►
side of the coin it seemed that as as I
[TS]
00:30:45
◼
►
seem to usually do getting complaints
[TS]
00:30:47
◼
►
from both sides the people who were in
[TS]
00:30:49
◼
►
favor of the changes in line we're
[TS]
00:30:50
◼
►
saying you were too critical of them
[TS]
00:30:52
◼
►
you're afraid of change you're afraid
[TS]
00:30:53
◼
►
they're dumbing things down you're an
[TS]
00:30:54
◼
►
enemy of progress and the people who
[TS]
00:30:56
◼
►
were against the changes were saying I
[TS]
00:30:58
◼
►
was too permissive and should have said
[TS]
00:30:59
◼
►
there's no way we should ever allow this
[TS]
00:31:00
◼
►
Apple should you know you should still
[TS]
00:31:03
◼
►
know everything about your computer and
[TS]
00:31:05
◼
►
everything Apple does to hide the
[TS]
00:31:07
◼
►
innards from you is worse
[TS]
00:31:09
◼
►
I thought I was pretty clear especially
[TS]
00:31:10
◼
►
in the conclusion that I am in favor of
[TS]
00:31:13
◼
►
this direction of removing things that
[TS]
00:31:16
◼
►
the user has to be concerned about you
[TS]
00:31:18
◼
►
know and I thought that came through
[TS]
00:31:20
◼
►
clearly but it's amazing to me that
[TS]
00:31:21
◼
►
people this is what happens I think
[TS]
00:31:23
◼
►
people read me explaining how things are
[TS]
00:31:26
◼
►
different like here's how it works in
[TS]
00:31:27
◼
►
line here's how used to work you know
[TS]
00:31:28
◼
►
and I do no comparison I said and here's
[TS]
00:31:31
◼
►
here's the philosophy behind it used to
[TS]
00:31:33
◼
►
be that X Y Z it could happen now with
[TS]
00:31:35
◼
►
these changes they're trying to aim for
[TS]
00:31:36
◼
►
a situation like this and here's how
[TS]
00:31:39
◼
►
iOS does that and it's showing that it's
[TS]
00:31:41
◼
►
actually possible to work like us so on
[TS]
00:31:42
◼
►
and so forth alright so treat that and
[TS]
00:31:44
◼
►
depending on how they felt about those
[TS]
00:31:45
◼
►
changes they would map those feelings
[TS]
00:31:47
◼
►
onto me as the others sure so they
[TS]
00:31:49
◼
►
didn't like the changes they'd be like
[TS]
00:31:51
◼
►
this author is describing all these
[TS]
00:31:53
◼
►
things and these things are obviously on
[TS]
00:31:55
◼
►
their face horrible therefore this
[TS]
00:31:56
◼
►
author who's just listed 20 horrible
[TS]
00:31:58
◼
►
things well so I have an analogy for you
[TS]
00:32:01
◼
►
John no and by the way I disagree with
[TS]
00:32:04
◼
►
that personal I'll tell you what I think
[TS]
00:32:05
◼
►
of that in a minute but here's an
[TS]
00:32:07
◼
►
analogy now I know that you're the
[TS]
00:32:09
◼
►
perfect husband I am I am NOT and I'm
[TS]
00:32:13
◼
►
married to a wonderful woman who's
[TS]
00:32:15
◼
►
incredibly patient but I and maybe this
[TS]
00:32:20
◼
►
is you know this is an invalid thing to
[TS]
00:32:22
◼
►
say but I think I think it's typical
[TS]
00:32:24
◼
►
that when people read this and they they
[TS]
00:32:27
◼
►
hear and remember the negative things
[TS]
00:32:29
◼
►
far more than they hear and remember or
[TS]
00:32:33
◼
►
see that the positive thing so for
[TS]
00:32:34
◼
►
example if for an entire week you
[TS]
00:32:36
◼
►
remember you know that when you come in
[TS]
00:32:39
◼
►
the house you take off your shoes and
[TS]
00:32:40
◼
►
you put them down in the right place you
[TS]
00:32:42
◼
►
know and the one day that you get home a
[TS]
00:32:43
◼
►
little early and you put them down in
[TS]
00:32:45
◼
►
the wrong place your wife walks in it
[TS]
00:32:47
◼
►
whether your shoes there for you know
[TS]
00:32:49
◼
►
that now I'm not saying that that
[TS]
00:32:51
◼
►
whatever you know happening in my house
[TS]
00:32:53
◼
►
but it's that kind of thing people
[TS]
00:32:56
◼
►
remember or notice the more negative
[TS]
00:32:59
◼
►
thing the thing you do you do wrong or
[TS]
00:33:01
◼
►
the thing that you're yes oh so if B
[TS]
00:33:03
◼
►
people were to read this and interpret
[TS]
00:33:06
◼
►
things the way that things that come
[TS]
00:33:08
◼
►
across as criticism versus the things
[TS]
00:33:10
◼
►
that come across as a a positive I think
[TS]
00:33:16
◼
►
I think they're going to feel like
[TS]
00:33:17
◼
►
there's more of the things that are
[TS]
00:33:18
◼
►
critical I what I did not do and maybe
[TS]
00:33:21
◼
►
this is because I feel like I know
[TS]
00:33:22
◼
►
and I know the way that that you think
[TS]
00:33:25
◼
►
of these things and I know that your
[TS]
00:33:27
◼
►
motive is to point things out so that
[TS]
00:33:29
◼
►
they they will be fixed or improved
[TS]
00:33:31
◼
►
right I feel like from my standpoint
[TS]
00:33:35
◼
►
that you were pretty you know cautiously
[TS]
00:33:38
◼
►
optimistic about it use it maybe use it
[TS]
00:33:40
◼
►
make idli optimistic I don't I don't
[TS]
00:33:42
◼
►
didn't get bad but you certainly were it
[TS]
00:33:45
◼
►
wasn't like scathing and I did not and
[TS]
00:33:47
◼
►
the key point of this I did not get the
[TS]
00:33:49
◼
►
impression that you're resisting change
[TS]
00:33:51
◼
►
I feel like you're welcoming change if
[TS]
00:33:52
◼
►
anything you're heralding it you you
[TS]
00:33:54
◼
►
want it as long as it's a change that
[TS]
00:33:56
◼
►
you feel is in the right direction and
[TS]
00:33:58
◼
►
my take on your definition of right
[TS]
00:34:02
◼
►
direction is something that is better at
[TS]
00:34:06
◼
►
communicating with the user making it
[TS]
00:34:08
◼
►
easy for the user to do things so like
[TS]
00:34:10
◼
►
one of the things you spent a long time
[TS]
00:34:12
◼
►
going over is you know you talk well
[TS]
00:34:16
◼
►
visit you didn't spend that much time
[TS]
00:34:18
◼
►
but you mentioned it a couple times and
[TS]
00:34:19
◼
►
that is that the the interface of line
[TS]
00:34:23
◼
►
continues in the direction of sort of I
[TS]
00:34:26
◼
►
don't know if this is the word but make
[TS]
00:34:28
◼
►
it makes everything monochrome the
[TS]
00:34:30
◼
►
monochromator zation of the interface so
[TS]
00:34:34
◼
►
that it puts the emphasis on the content
[TS]
00:34:36
◼
►
but you even mention that the folders
[TS]
00:34:38
◼
►
that have custom icons and you go to you
[TS]
00:34:41
◼
►
did a pretty funny example where you've
[TS]
00:34:42
◼
►
got these huge custom icons of like
[TS]
00:34:44
◼
►
Indiana Jones's hat and things like that
[TS]
00:34:46
◼
►
that are just simply not reflected in
[TS]
00:34:49
◼
►
the sidebar at all there can be no color
[TS]
00:34:51
◼
►
in the sidebar there can be no custom
[TS]
00:34:53
◼
►
folders in the sidebar like I get I get
[TS]
00:34:56
◼
►
the thinking behind that for Apple
[TS]
00:34:58
◼
►
because they really want the content to
[TS]
00:34:59
◼
►
stand out but there's also a value to
[TS]
00:35:01
◼
►
having a visual cue and things like that
[TS]
00:35:03
◼
►
so when you when you criticize those
[TS]
00:35:05
◼
►
things to me I don't feel like you're
[TS]
00:35:07
◼
►
resisting change you're saying something
[TS]
00:35:09
◼
►
that we used to have has been that that
[TS]
00:35:12
◼
►
was helpful to us has been taken away
[TS]
00:35:14
◼
►
and replaced with something that is not
[TS]
00:35:15
◼
►
as helpful to us and those are the every
[TS]
00:35:18
◼
►
single time I feel like that I saw a you
[TS]
00:35:22
◼
►
know you being negative or critical or
[TS]
00:35:24
◼
►
something that was the motivation behind
[TS]
00:35:27
◼
►
it it wasn't like I don't like this it's
[TS]
00:35:29
◼
►
different I didn't get that at all John
[TS]
00:35:31
◼
►
what I got was this is different and it
[TS]
00:35:34
◼
►
no longer effectively does this
[TS]
00:35:36
◼
►
it's it's gone and it's gotten worse and
[TS]
00:35:38
◼
►
that's why your did I nail that I mean
[TS]
00:35:40
◼
►
is that right is that that seems to be
[TS]
00:35:41
◼
►
like what you were thinking
[TS]
00:35:42
◼
►
yeah like two sometimes even in that
[TS]
00:35:45
◼
►
little section I remember the section
[TS]
00:35:46
◼
►
you're talking about if I had to expand
[TS]
00:35:48
◼
►
on that that's the good thing about a
[TS]
00:35:49
◼
►
podcast I can expand on things
[TS]
00:35:50
◼
►
extemporaneously if I expand on that
[TS]
00:35:52
◼
►
section why is it why is it better the
[TS]
00:35:55
◼
►
folders are great sometimes I don't say
[TS]
00:35:56
◼
►
things because I think that it's obvious
[TS]
00:35:57
◼
►
and then I realize it's totally not
[TS]
00:35:59
◼
►
obvious to everyone except for me and
[TS]
00:36:01
◼
►
three other people
[TS]
00:36:02
◼
►
I gave apples philosophy there about why
[TS]
00:36:07
◼
►
why the heck is everything the color
[TS]
00:36:09
◼
►
being drained out of everything and the
[TS]
00:36:10
◼
►
philosophy is focused on the content
[TS]
00:36:11
◼
►
don't draw attention to parts of the
[TS]
00:36:14
◼
►
interface because the interface is not
[TS]
00:36:15
◼
►
what's important we want the interfaces
[TS]
00:36:16
◼
►
disappear and the content to be king and
[TS]
00:36:18
◼
►
you see that a lot on the iPad and other
[TS]
00:36:20
◼
►
iOS things but the app fills the whole
[TS]
00:36:22
◼
►
screen right there's not a lot of like
[TS]
00:36:23
◼
►
Chrome and stuff like that but in the
[TS]
00:36:25
◼
►
finder if what our folders aren't
[TS]
00:36:29
◼
►
content what is the finder is for
[TS]
00:36:31
◼
►
dealing with files and folders right and
[TS]
00:36:33
◼
►
even though those finders are in the
[TS]
00:36:34
◼
►
sidebar that's you know if you want the
[TS]
00:36:37
◼
►
reason you're putting there is because
[TS]
00:36:38
◼
►
they're frequent destinations in there
[TS]
00:36:40
◼
►
places you want to go like that is
[TS]
00:36:41
◼
►
content for the finder it's not a frill
[TS]
00:36:44
◼
►
it's not I guess it is kind of part of
[TS]
00:36:46
◼
►
the interface but it's like if there's
[TS]
00:36:47
◼
►
one application where folders are
[TS]
00:36:49
◼
►
content its the finder what does the
[TS]
00:36:51
◼
►
finder do but manipulate content so that
[TS]
00:36:54
◼
►
that's an example of a philosophy which
[TS]
00:36:56
◼
►
I think is a reasonable philosophy you
[TS]
00:36:58
◼
►
can quibble all the execution you know
[TS]
00:37:00
◼
►
because it like you as you said you do
[TS]
00:37:01
◼
►
give up some things when you decide to
[TS]
00:37:03
◼
►
go this route you do give up
[TS]
00:37:04
◼
►
distinguishability or whatever term you
[TS]
00:37:06
◼
►
want to use for being able to pick stuff
[TS]
00:37:07
◼
►
out because it doesn't draw your eyes
[TS]
00:37:09
◼
►
now it also kind of blends but you know
[TS]
00:37:12
◼
►
but you could say that this is a
[TS]
00:37:14
◼
►
reasonable philosophy but applying it in
[TS]
00:37:16
◼
►
a blanket fashion has places where it
[TS]
00:37:18
◼
►
falls down and that one that I
[TS]
00:37:19
◼
►
highlighted is is one of them you know I
[TS]
00:37:21
◼
►
guess I should have expanded out today
[TS]
00:37:24
◼
►
you know folders are content in the
[TS]
00:37:26
◼
►
finder grab it is to get this is going a
[TS]
00:37:28
◼
►
step too far maybe I just wanted to make
[TS]
00:37:31
◼
►
a funny joke
[TS]
00:37:33
◼
►
but but anyway yeah that so the that I
[TS]
00:37:36
◼
►
think you're getting the right thing
[TS]
00:37:38
◼
►
from the review but I guess I guess
[TS]
00:37:40
◼
►
sometimes I'm reading over the little
[TS]
00:37:42
◼
►
ending bit that I put in there I guess
[TS]
00:37:44
◼
►
sometimes I'm daring the reader to be on
[TS]
00:37:46
◼
►
the same page as me I I realize I do
[TS]
00:37:48
◼
►
kind of say things that can be
[TS]
00:37:50
◼
►
in both ways because it's kind of as
[TS]
00:37:54
◼
►
someone said in the chatroom a Rorschach
[TS]
00:37:56
◼
►
test for the reader that I want to say
[TS]
00:37:59
◼
►
something that both sides of whatever
[TS]
00:38:03
◼
►
continuum of disagreement there is on
[TS]
00:38:06
◼
►
this issue can believe is either
[TS]
00:38:08
◼
►
affirming or opposing their point of
[TS]
00:38:09
◼
►
view so let me read the final paragraph
[TS]
00:38:11
◼
►
of the review here great up over the
[TS]
00:38:14
◼
►
past decade better technology simply
[TS]
00:38:16
◼
►
reduce the number of things that we need
[TS]
00:38:18
◼
►
to care about line is better technology
[TS]
00:38:20
◼
►
it marks the point where Mac os10
[TS]
00:38:22
◼
►
releases stop being defined by what's
[TS]
00:38:23
◼
►
been added now on Mac OS 10 should be
[TS]
00:38:25
◼
►
judged by what's been removed now
[TS]
00:38:27
◼
►
there's a middle part in there that I
[TS]
00:38:29
◼
►
think again lays things bare lion is
[TS]
00:38:32
◼
►
better technology that's pretty
[TS]
00:38:33
◼
►
unambiguously almost entirely
[TS]
00:38:36
◼
►
unambiguously positive I'm you know what
[TS]
00:38:38
◼
►
I mean like account it's real friend
[TS]
00:38:41
◼
►
especially for a person like you but how
[TS]
00:38:42
◼
►
much more positive would you want to be
[TS]
00:38:45
◼
►
on that I agree with for this time I
[TS]
00:38:47
◼
►
really agree with you I agree man you
[TS]
00:38:49
◼
►
know so it's saying better technology
[TS]
00:38:51
◼
►
and then it's I had previously defined
[TS]
00:38:53
◼
►
better technology in the earlier
[TS]
00:38:54
◼
►
sentence by saying is reducing the
[TS]
00:38:55
◼
►
number of things we had to care about
[TS]
00:38:56
◼
►
which is the exact sentence I brought up
[TS]
00:38:58
◼
►
earlier in the review as well I think
[TS]
00:39:00
◼
►
even in italics at that point and then
[TS]
00:39:02
◼
►
the bit about releases stop being
[TS]
00:39:05
◼
►
defined by what's been added it's kind
[TS]
00:39:06
◼
►
of like in all the past reviews is like
[TS]
00:39:07
◼
►
what have you brought me all right this
[TS]
00:39:09
◼
►
time machine additives expose has been
[TS]
00:39:10
◼
►
added or you know this is metal things
[TS]
00:39:13
◼
►
there's a new application you know what
[TS]
00:39:15
◼
►
what are what are the check boxes on the
[TS]
00:39:17
◼
►
back of the box that tell me this is the
[TS]
00:39:19
◼
►
thing that I want to upgrade to because
[TS]
00:39:21
◼
►
it's got all these great new features
[TS]
00:39:22
◼
►
you know and Snow Leopard kind of being
[TS]
00:39:25
◼
►
like a fizzle off on that point where
[TS]
00:39:26
◼
►
it's like no more check boxes same OS
[TS]
00:39:29
◼
►
you had before more or less we changed
[TS]
00:39:30
◼
►
the internals right but oh that was
[TS]
00:39:32
◼
►
acknowledged as a break but now lion was
[TS]
00:39:34
◼
►
like not only we're not adding stuff
[TS]
00:39:36
◼
►
we're taking stuff away not taking away
[TS]
00:39:38
◼
►
features so much as things that were
[TS]
00:39:41
◼
►
associated with the desktop computing
[TS]
00:39:42
◼
►
experience that we think don't have a
[TS]
00:39:44
◼
►
place in the future we're going to
[TS]
00:39:47
◼
►
remove them from the experience and
[TS]
00:39:50
◼
►
examples are like saving documents or
[TS]
00:39:52
◼
►
remembering what things you opened or
[TS]
00:39:54
◼
►
eventually you know dealing directly
[TS]
00:39:55
◼
►
with the file system and stuff like that
[TS]
00:39:57
◼
►
and the bit of the MRI said macro
[TS]
00:39:59
◼
►
tension should be judged by what's been
[TS]
00:40:01
◼
►
removed for now
[TS]
00:40:02
◼
►
right the people who don't like that the
[TS]
00:40:06
◼
►
people who say you're dumbing down my
[TS]
00:40:07
◼
►
computer you know I don't want a VCR I
[TS]
00:40:10
◼
►
want a congenital purpose computer that
[TS]
00:40:11
◼
►
I can do stuff with VCR mandating myself
[TS]
00:40:15
◼
►
those people said yeah they're taking
[TS]
00:40:18
◼
►
away stuff they're saying should be
[TS]
00:40:19
◼
►
judged by what's removed and they should
[TS]
00:40:20
◼
►
be judged harshly for everything they
[TS]
00:40:22
◼
►
remove like I you would not believe the
[TS]
00:40:23
◼
►
number of people I got who came to me
[TS]
00:40:25
◼
►
saying you know or said out on the
[TS]
00:40:29
◼
►
internet you know googling myself and
[TS]
00:40:30
◼
►
finding the links to it that you know
[TS]
00:40:32
◼
►
he's saying the Mac was ten should be
[TS]
00:40:33
◼
►
judged by what's been removed it's it's
[TS]
00:40:34
◼
►
a warning call be vigilant people every
[TS]
00:40:36
◼
►
time Apple remove something we have to
[TS]
00:40:38
◼
►
yell about it John is saying you know
[TS]
00:40:40
◼
►
judge them on what they removed no it's
[TS]
00:40:42
◼
►
not what I'm saying
[TS]
00:40:43
◼
►
I am is the opposite I think I'm for all
[TS]
00:40:46
◼
►
the things that they finding in the
[TS]
00:40:47
◼
►
desktop operating system experience
[TS]
00:40:49
◼
►
things that we accept people who have
[TS]
00:40:51
◼
►
grown up with pcs except as part of what
[TS]
00:40:53
◼
►
it means to use a computer that are
[TS]
00:40:55
◼
►
bogus that are the only reason we like
[TS]
00:40:58
◼
►
them is because we've grown up using
[TS]
00:40:59
◼
►
them but they have no place in you know
[TS]
00:41:02
◼
►
they have no purpose other than you know
[TS]
00:41:04
◼
►
it's like I don't know what the analogy
[TS]
00:41:05
◼
►
is for a class of old cars it's like
[TS]
00:41:07
◼
►
cranking the engine before you start it
[TS]
00:41:09
◼
►
or whatever other thing you used to have
[TS]
00:41:11
◼
►
to do that you don't have to do now
[TS]
00:41:12
◼
►
right it's it's not part of the thing
[TS]
00:41:15
◼
►
you're doing with the computer it's part
[TS]
00:41:16
◼
►
of dealing with the computer and the
[TS]
00:41:19
◼
►
ones they removes are such no-brainers
[TS]
00:41:21
◼
►
because it's like it's not like they're
[TS]
00:41:22
◼
►
speculatively saying we think people can
[TS]
00:41:24
◼
►
get along without saving just fine
[TS]
00:41:25
◼
►
there's this millions of iOS devices out
[TS]
00:41:28
◼
►
there none of them have a Save button
[TS]
00:41:29
◼
►
and they're in their interfaces right
[TS]
00:41:31
◼
►
and no one ever then said a peep about
[TS]
00:41:34
◼
►
it BG I like this iPad app but if it had
[TS]
00:41:36
◼
►
a Save button I'd like it way better
[TS]
00:41:38
◼
►

needs to be save button on this tweet or

something like that you know the iOS is

00:42:49
◼

a real world working example of almost
[TS]
00:42:52
◼

every single thing that they put into
[TS]
00:42:54
◼

line showing that it does work but
[TS]
00:42:56
◼

because the context of people's brains
[TS]
00:42:58
◼

are different when they're in front of
[TS]
00:42:59
◼

their Mac then in front of iOS these
[TS]
00:43:01
◼
►
same people who accepted this completely
[TS]
00:43:02
◼
►
with iOS and are saying you can't you
[TS]
00:43:04
◼
►
have to have manual saving because it's
[TS]
00:43:05
◼
►
impossible for me to work the way I
[TS]
00:43:07
◼

normally work and you know that's not
[TS]
00:43:08
◼
►
what they say what they say this isn't
[TS]
00:43:10
◼
►
it's impossible you can't you need to
[TS]
00:43:11
◼
►
have save you can't have it
[TS]
00:43:12
◼
►
automatically saving it's gonna screw
[TS]
00:43:14
◼
►
everybody up it's going to make me lose
[TS]
00:43:15
◼
►
data but they're really saying is that
[TS]
00:43:16
◼
►
they have habits built up over decades
[TS]
00:43:18
◼
►
of how you use the desktop computer and
[TS]
00:43:21
◼
►
how you interact with is different
[TS]
00:43:22
◼
►
saving but as I tried to point out in
[TS]
00:43:23
◼
►
the review it's a failed experiment you
[TS]
00:43:26
◼
►
know even the best of us even the people
[TS]
00:43:28
◼
►
in imarco talked about in his recent
[TS]
00:43:30
◼
►
episode too you even even the people who
[TS]
00:43:31
◼
►
know this the current system or the pre
[TS]
00:43:34
◼
►
line system inside and out even we screw
[TS]
00:43:36
◼
►
up sometimes right and forget about
[TS]
00:43:38
◼
►
regular people they screw up constantly
[TS]
00:43:40
◼
►
they simply cannot map that model that
[TS]
00:43:43
◼
►
the computer is using for data retention
[TS]
00:43:45
◼
►
on to the way their mental model they
[TS]
00:43:48
◼
►
think how it should work and those same
[TS]
00:43:49
◼
►
people have no problem with iOS because
[TS]
00:43:51
◼
►
then finally their mental model matches
[TS]
00:43:52
◼
►
how the thing does they just don't think
[TS]
00:43:54
◼
►
about saving it goes away right lion is
[TS]
00:43:57
◼
►
trying to do that on the mac and running
[TS]
00:43:59
◼
►
into people's pre-existing notions of
[TS]
00:44:02
◼
►
how computing to work now I thought that
[TS]
00:44:04
◼
►
was crystal clear that I am for ditching
[TS]
00:44:06
◼
►
these things maybe gonna hung up on the
[TS]
00:44:08
◼
►
part where I said like the parts that
[TS]
00:44:10
◼
►
work on iOS that are sort of that don't
[TS]
00:44:14
◼
►
work when you bring them over to the Mac
[TS]
00:44:15
◼
►
or that have disadvantages like that the
[TS]
00:44:18
◼
►
value proposition is different saving
[TS]
00:44:21
◼
►
and restore and stuff I don't think is
[TS]
00:44:22
◼
►
one of those issues I think that's
[TS]
00:44:23
◼
►
simply an issue of inertia and people
[TS]
00:44:25
◼
►
being used to the way things work and I
[TS]
00:44:27
◼
►
think we will all be much better off
[TS]
00:44:29
◼
►
once we can
[TS]
00:44:29
◼
►
humph hiding the scrollbars and stuff
[TS]
00:44:31
◼
►
like that they're serious trade-offs
[TS]
00:44:33
◼
►
there and you even noted I was glad to
[TS]
00:44:34
◼
►
hear you I think it was on the talk show
[TS]
00:44:35
◼
►
talking about how you'd be staring into
[TS]
00:44:37
◼
►
line screen and take a couple seconds to
[TS]
00:44:39
◼
►
realize that there's more content ya
[TS]
00:44:40
◼
►
know that happened that happened a lot
[TS]
00:44:42
◼
►
and it it's not happening now but I find
[TS]
00:44:45
◼
►
that I'm scrolling when I don't you're
[TS]
00:44:48
◼
►
buying it you're pulling it things to
[TS]
00:44:50
◼
►
see if there's more stuff right you're
[TS]
00:44:52
◼
►
mapping imagine if you did that in real
[TS]
00:44:54
◼
►
life yeah like you know I mean it's not
[TS]
00:44:57
◼
►
see that's the type of situation where
[TS]
00:44:58
◼
►
it's a clear trade off like you're you
[TS]
00:45:00
◼
►
are sacrificing the ability to know at a
[TS]
00:45:02
◼
►
glance that there's more stuff with 100%
[TS]
00:45:04
◼
►
certainty now if it's something
[TS]
00:45:06
◼
►
truncated on the bottom you can suspect
[TS]
00:45:07
◼
►
but what you want to find most people
[TS]
00:45:10
◼
►
will be replacing it with is the palling
[TS]
00:45:12
◼
►
notion let me just check this more let
[TS]
00:45:14
◼
►
me just check it and maybe that's fine
[TS]
00:45:15
◼
►
maybe that's you know instead of
[TS]
00:45:16
◼
►
glancing with your eyes you pull out it
[TS]
00:45:17
◼
►
with your fingers you do that in iOS
[TS]
00:45:20
◼
►
apps all the time because of course they
[TS]
00:45:21
◼
►
have the same problem but on iOS like I
[TS]
00:45:22
◼
►
said in the article that trade-off has
[TS]
00:45:24
◼
►
very different it it you know ways
[TS]
00:45:28
◼
►
differently on the things that you're
[TS]
00:45:29
◼
►
creating off there especially on the
[TS]
00:45:30
◼
►
phone look you just got you can't have
[TS]
00:45:32
◼
►
that scrollbar there
[TS]
00:45:33
◼
►
you just can't there's no room on the
[TS]
00:45:34
◼
►
screen you absolutely have to ditch it
[TS]
00:45:36
◼
►
and so they did the best they could well
[TS]
00:45:38
◼
►
where it appears and dissapears and
[TS]
00:45:39
◼
►
stuff like that right but a 30 inch
[TS]
00:45:40
◼
►
display that trade-off is you know maybe
[TS]
00:45:44
◼
►
not great you know and maybe you don't
[TS]
00:45:47
◼
►
want to replace polling with with that
[TS]
00:45:49
◼
►
type situation on a thirty inch display
[TS]
00:45:52
◼
►
on the 11 inch air starts to as I said
[TS]
00:45:53
◼
►
the closer the Mac gets to an iOS device
[TS]
00:45:56
◼
►
the more or the iOS trade-offs start to
[TS]
00:45:59
◼
►
make sense in that context I didn't talk
[TS]
00:46:02
◼
►
about this in review of one of my fears
[TS]
00:46:03
◼
►
is that so in line they have obviously
[TS]
00:46:06
◼
►
options to reverse almost all these
[TS]
00:46:08
◼
►
things and you're always wondering I
[TS]
00:46:11
◼
►
think Gruber talked about this too so
[TS]
00:46:14
◼
►
those options are there now but do they
[TS]
00:46:15
◼
►
all go away in the next version and if
[TS]
00:46:17
◼
►
they go away do they stick with which
[TS]
00:46:19
◼
►
way are they which way they toggle
[TS]
00:46:20
◼
►
permanently right so the scroll bars you
[TS]
00:46:23
◼
►
can say automatically based on input
[TS]
00:46:24
◼
►
device the idea being that if you don't
[TS]
00:46:26
◼
►
have a touch device the trade-off is
[TS]
00:46:29
◼
►
probably I mean Apple is basically
[TS]
00:46:31
◼
►
saying with it with that thing
[TS]
00:46:32
◼
►
automatically based on device if you
[TS]
00:46:34
◼
►
don't have a touch based device it's not
[TS]
00:46:35
◼
►
worth the trade-off you should always
[TS]
00:46:36
◼
►
see the scroll bars alright because if
[TS]
00:46:38
◼
►
you have a mouse attached but no touch
[TS]
00:46:39
◼
►
device Apple defaults and that auto mode
[TS]
00:46:42
◼
►
showing the scrollbars so what's going
[TS]
00:46:46
◼
►
to be say say that option those radio
[TS]
00:46:49
◼
►
buttons go away in the next version what
[TS]
00:46:50
◼
►
happens is automatic the default is
[TS]
00:46:53
◼
►
always showing the default is you know
[TS]
00:46:55
◼
►
how do they go with that and the the
[TS]
00:46:58
◼
►
usual notion is whatever the defaults
[TS]
00:46:59
◼
►
are in Lyon that will be the permanent
[TS]
00:47:01
◼
►
setting in whatever comes after Lyon and
[TS]
00:47:05
◼
►
it's probably true in most cases but in
[TS]
00:47:08
◼
►
the case of like for the doc indicator
[TS]
00:47:10
◼
►
lights is a good example they reverse
[TS]
00:47:12
◼
►
that the last second why I obviously
[TS]
00:47:14
◼
►
wanted them to be off and they put the
[TS]
00:47:17
◼
►
option in there so really pro users
[TS]
00:47:18
◼
►
wouldn't car as I'm sorry I don't care
[TS]
00:47:21
◼
►
what the heck the default is if I want
[TS]
00:47:22
◼
►
the little lights I'll turn them on up
[TS]
00:47:24
◼
►
they don't turn them off pro users love
[TS]
00:47:26
◼
►
options they say if they can't get
[TS]
00:47:28
◼
►
worked up about they can say all right
[TS]
00:47:29
◼
►
so fine that the default it's off but
[TS]
00:47:31
◼
►
you know I make maybe that screws up
[TS]
00:47:33
◼
►
their friends and relatives and it makes
[TS]
00:47:35
◼
►
their tech support more difficult
[TS]
00:47:36
◼
►
they'll complain about it a little bit
[TS]
00:47:37
◼
►
but as far as they're concerned I hope I
[TS]
00:47:39
◼
►
could turn off I said it once I never
[TS]
00:47:40
◼
►
think of it again and I'm fine but they
[TS]
00:47:44
◼
►
Apple itself reverses decision and I
[TS]
00:47:45
◼
►
guess that is said look that's not a
[TS]
00:47:47
◼
►
good default right now it leads to too
[TS]
00:47:49
◼
►
much confusion people can't tell what's
[TS]
00:47:50
◼
►
running and as much as we want them not
[TS]
00:47:52
◼
►
to have to care like they do on iOS the
[TS]
00:47:54
◼
►
reality is we're not there yet so turn
[TS]
00:47:56
◼
►
them on by default which is kind of
[TS]
00:47:58
◼
►
weird because if you think about it you
[TS]
00:47:59
◼
►
know they added this feature and left
[TS]
00:48:00
◼
►
this checkbox but who in their right
[TS]
00:48:02
◼
►
mind is going to turn that off as pro
[TS]
00:48:04
◼
►
users aren't going to turn it off
[TS]
00:48:05
◼
►
because they like the old way and
[TS]
00:48:06
◼
►
they're used to knowing you know what's
[TS]
00:48:07
◼
►
running and what's not and novice users
[TS]
00:48:09
◼
►
always leave the defaults so when the
[TS]
00:48:12
◼
►
world's going to turn those dots off
[TS]
00:48:13
◼
►
accepted some sort of weird experiment
[TS]
00:48:14
◼
►
or maybe a few people who are saying
[TS]
00:48:16
◼
►
it's freeing not to know which ones
[TS]
00:48:17
◼
►
running I just like it better I don't
[TS]
00:48:20
◼
►
know that so in terms of my overall view
[TS]
00:48:26
◼
►
of Lyon I'm for almost every single one
[TS]
00:48:29
◼
►
of the things that they're trying to do
[TS]
00:48:31
◼
►
with the OS I may be against the details
[TS]
00:48:33
◼
►
of the execution and quibble over some
[TS]
00:48:37
◼
►
things that don't work as well in in
[TS]
00:48:39
◼
►
several desktop contexts but in in the
[TS]
00:48:42
◼
►
camp of people who who like you know
[TS]
00:48:44
◼
►
autosave is the best litmus test because
[TS]
00:48:46
◼
►
it's like people who cannot conceive of
[TS]
00:48:48
◼
►
because they're so used to doing things
[TS]
00:48:50
◼
►
the way they normally do with saving
[TS]
00:48:51
◼
►
they cannot conceive of ever operating
[TS]
00:48:54
◼
►
in the environment where autosave exists
[TS]
00:48:56
◼
►
I'm I'm not in that camp I I I'm exactly
[TS]
00:48:59
◼
►
with them in terms of habits and that
[TS]
00:49:00
◼
►
all my habits are honed on manual saving
[TS]
00:49:04
◼
►
but I can totally see how the other way
[TS]
00:49:07
◼
►
is better
[TS]
00:49:07
◼
►
mostly because I accept how I operate an
[TS]
00:49:09
◼
►
iOS and how problem-free it is there
[TS]
00:49:12
◼
►
that that can work on the desktop and
[TS]
00:49:13
◼
►
because I've had transitional apps like
[TS]
00:49:15
◼
►
BBEdit which is done almost all these
[TS]
00:49:16
◼
►
things for four years now and I it has
[TS]
00:49:19
◼
►
sort of eased me into this way of
[TS]
00:49:21
◼
►
working
[TS]
00:49:21
◼
►
I still manually save like crazy and VB
[TS]
00:49:24
◼
►
edit and I'm still bet glad BBI makes
[TS]
00:49:25
◼
►
little backups but the restore thing and
[TS]
00:49:28
◼
►
the fact that BBEdit auto saves almost
[TS]
00:49:29
◼
►
everything for you so the app crashes
[TS]
00:49:31
◼
►
and you relaunch it you're partially
[TS]
00:49:32

00:49:44
◼

00:49:46

uncomfortable transition period because

I should have expressed more clearly

00:49:52
◼

00:49:53
◼

reading my review that you upgrade to
[TS]
00:49:55
◼
►
line all your apps get these magic new
[TS]
00:49:57
◼

abilities well they have you have to
[TS]
00:49:58
◼
►
change the apps you know that you have
[TS]
00:50:01
◼
►
to get updated versions the apps
[TS]
00:50:02
◼
►
developers have to change them that's
[TS]
00:50:03
◼

going to be a long time before that

00:50:05
◼

happens

geek panic thing that's but again I
[TS]
00:51:59
◼
►
don't I don't think it's ambiguous when
[TS]
00:52:00
◼
►
I did a geek panic thing like it was
[TS]
00:52:02
◼
►
acknowledging that when I use that exact
[TS]
00:52:06
◼
►
phrase with an exclamation point that I
[TS]
00:52:08
◼
►
understand that you like me as a geek
[TS]
00:52:10
◼
►
are going to freak out when you hear
[TS]
00:52:12
◼
►
this because this is not the way it has
[TS]
00:52:13
◼
►
worked for decades and you can't do that
[TS]
00:52:16
◼
►
what are you talking about you're gonna
[TS]
00:52:17
◼
►
the OS is gonna quit my application just
[TS]
00:52:20
◼
►
because the windows are visible what if
[TS]
00:52:21
◼
►
I was using it or I'm gonna quit the
[TS]
00:52:23
◼
►
application but it's not gonna kill the
[TS]
00:52:25
◼
►
process I quit the application because
[TS]
00:52:26
◼
►
I'm one of those resources back for the
[TS]
00:52:28
◼
►
OS you can't MIT you know it's just it's
[TS]
00:52:30
◼
►
geek panic and it's I don't know is that
[TS]
00:52:34
◼
►
analogous like red panic I don't know
[TS]
00:52:35
◼
►
there's some sort of history based
[TS]
00:52:37
◼
►
analogy of this type of thing but I was
[TS]
00:52:38
◼
►
trying to be cheeky about it to say this
[TS]
00:52:40
◼
►
is sort of an irrational unfounded fear
[TS]
00:52:42
◼
►
this is just progress and it's going to
[TS]
00:52:44
◼
►
be weird for us but I think they're
[TS]
00:52:47
◼
►
going in the right direction
[TS]
00:52:48
◼
►
even if they're you know even if it's
[TS]
00:52:52
◼
►
weird in the transition and even if
[TS]
00:52:53
◼
►
maybe they go too far in a couple of
[TS]
00:52:54
◼
►
cases you know someone brought up in the
[TS]
00:52:57
◼
►
chat room something we want to talk
[TS]
00:52:59
◼
►
about that was also mentioned on a talk
[TS]
00:53:00
◼
►
show was a launch pad as the finder
[TS]
00:53:03
◼
►
replacement I didn't talk about that in
[TS]
00:53:06
◼
►
the review but I had that's another one
[TS]
00:53:08
◼
►
of the things I had stewing in my mind
[TS]
00:53:10
◼
►
like in the flashback under Sections
[TS]
00:53:13
◼
►
episode depressed these days you know
[TS]
00:53:15
◼
►
it's like what else is there to say but
[TS]
00:53:17
◼
►
I've done all my complaining about the
[TS]
00:53:18
◼
►
finder every release they do some subtle
[TS]
00:53:21
◼
►
tweak to it they made it cocoa which was
[TS]
00:53:24
◼
►
make the performance better they do some
[TS]
00:53:25
◼
►
annoying things we do some things that I
[TS]
00:53:27
◼
►
like but it's it's just kind of there
[TS]
00:53:29
◼
►
there's not that much interested and you
[TS]
00:53:32
◼
►
know it's just like oh they can't get
[TS]
00:53:33
◼
►
rid of the finder do they want us not
[TS]
00:53:34
◼
►
use it with iCloud they don't even want
[TS]
00:53:36
◼
►
your documents to be anyplace you can
[TS]
00:53:37
◼
►
find them because they'll be buried in
[TS]
00:53:38
◼
►
the library folder they make the library
[TS]
00:53:39
◼
►
holder invisible so it's like forget
[TS]
00:53:42
◼
►
about the documents for they were
[TS]
00:53:43
◼
►
literally hiding them from you the
[TS]
00:53:45
◼
►
mobile documents folders were my cloud
[TS]
00:53:47
◼
►
shows stuff and that's actually in your
[TS]
00:53:48
◼
►
library folder so they'll be literally
[TS]
00:53:49
◼
►
invisible in the finder so you know is
[TS]
00:53:51
◼
►
that where Apple's eventually going do
[TS]
00:53:52
◼
►
they think the base of the computer like
[TS]
00:53:56
◼
►
it is on iOS should be springboard or
[TS]
00:53:57
◼
►
something similar to springboard like
[TS]
00:53:58
◼
►
Launchpad where it's just a bunch of
[TS]
00:54:00
◼
►
applications and you launch them and
[TS]
00:54:03
◼
►
that's that's the bottom level the
[TS]
00:54:05
◼
►
operating system and no dealing directly
[TS]
00:54:06
◼
►
with a file system
[TS]
00:54:07
◼
►
I'm sure Apple would love to do that
[TS]
00:54:09
◼
►
some people at Apple would love to do
[TS]
00:54:10
◼
►
that I'm sure other people at Apple
[TS]
00:54:12
◼
►
would never let that happen so I think
[TS]
00:54:14
◼
►
as Gruber pointed out because he
[TS]
00:54:16
◼
►
probably has talked to a lot of our
[TS]
00:54:17
◼
►
people as have I that Apple is not
[TS]
00:54:20
◼
►
monolithic and inside Apple almost every
[TS]
00:54:23
◼
►
change that some geek doesn't like in
[TS]
00:54:24
◼
►
line was opposed by a large faction to
[TS]
00:54:26
◼
►
people inside Apple who didn't like it
[TS]
00:54:28
◼
►
whether it be removing the scroll bars
[TS]
00:54:30
◼
►
reversing a scroll direction you know
[TS]
00:54:33
◼
►
high in the library folder every single
[TS]
00:54:37
◼
►
one of those changes I guarantee you
[TS]
00:54:39
◼
►
there are not just like one or two
[TS]
00:54:40
◼
►
grumpy guys but large sections of inside
[TS]
00:54:43
◼
►
Apple who were against it and in large
[TS]
00:54:44
◼
►
sections who were for it and it was a
[TS]
00:54:45
◼
►
battle and you can see who ended up
[TS]
00:54:47
◼
►
winning in all the various cases but
[TS]
00:54:49
◼
►
Apple is not monolithically in favor of
[TS]
00:54:52
◼
►
everything that you see in the operating
[TS]
00:54:54
◼
►
system because it's filled with geeks it
[TS]
00:54:56
◼
►
you know you think you're filled with
[TS]
00:54:56
◼
►
geeks who are used to the way that yeah
[TS]
00:55:00
◼
►
Apple and Macs have worked for decades
[TS]
00:55:02
◼
►
there's a lot of them in Apple as you
[TS]
00:55:03
◼
►
can imagine and so they were against
[TS]
00:55:05
◼
►
this stuff too uh I think they did the
[TS]
00:55:07
◼
►
brave thing in the correct thing by
[TS]
00:55:09
◼
►
going in the direction of progress I
[TS]
00:55:11
◼
►
think all the uncharacteristic sort of
[TS]
00:55:13
◼
►
backpedaling with the options it's like
[TS]
00:55:15
◼
►
turning on and off was a stopped for the
[TS]
00:55:17
◼
►
opposition camp because opposition kept
[TS]
00:55:20
◼
►
you can say look we're going to go with
[TS]
00:55:21
◼
►
this is the fall but everyone knows that
[TS]
00:55:22
◼
►
you guys are power users so you guys
[TS]
00:55:24
◼
►
will don't be too pissed off you can
[TS]
00:55:26
◼
►
just check this checkbox and reverse it
[TS]
00:55:27
◼
►
the real battle will probably come in
[TS]
00:55:29
◼
►
the next version like maybe this is a
[TS]
00:55:30
◼
►
wedge issue where the people on one side
[TS]
00:55:32
◼
►
of the cell be able just put it in will
[TS]
00:55:33
◼
►
put an option and the next version comes
[TS]
00:55:34
◼
►
they're going to want to take away the
[TS]
00:55:36
◼
►
option and then the other
[TS]
00:55:37
◼
►
I'm gonna say you can't take away the
[TS]
00:55:38
◼
►
option I always have it in that mode and
[TS]
00:55:39
◼
►
we had this big fight about this with
[TS]
00:55:41
◼
►
Lyon and we decided the option was
[TS]
00:55:42
◼
►
important so we continued to work and
[TS]
00:55:44
◼
►
then unfortunately by that point the you
[TS]
00:55:47
◼
►
know Pro progress camp will have numbers
[TS]
00:55:49
◼
►
to say well 90% of our X millions of
[TS]
00:55:52
◼
►
users use this as a default and we have
[TS]
00:55:53
◼
►
metrics to show that you know they're
[TS]
00:55:55
◼
►
perfectly happy with it so we think this
[TS]
00:55:57
◼
►
is just be the default and you'll have
[TS]
00:55:58
◼
►
to deal with it maybe it becomes a
[TS]
00:55:59
◼
►
hidden plist hack at that point and
[TS]
00:56:00
◼
►
maybe disappears entirely yeah that's
[TS]
00:56:04
◼
►
when we talked about it for us the price
[TS]
00:56:06
◼
►
of progress sometimes it hurts so that
[TS]
00:56:10
◼
►
that long rambling thing all about sort
[TS]
00:56:13
◼
►
of my overall view of Lyon I got that
[TS]
00:56:15
◼
►
pretty much covers that there are
[TS]
00:56:18
◼
►
specific sections or specific issues you
[TS]
00:56:20
◼
►
want to talk about should dive into them
[TS]
00:56:22
◼
►
well one one thing that I think I
[TS]
00:56:24
◼
►
certainly was wondering when I was
[TS]
00:56:25
◼
►
reading this and I have to assume if I
[TS]
00:56:28
◼
►
was wondering it there's a handful of
[TS]
00:56:29
◼
►
listeners that were probably also
[TS]
00:56:31
◼
►
wondering this how are you using it well
[TS]
00:56:33
◼
►
you know when you took these screenshots
[TS]
00:56:35
◼
►
and talked about the settings you i
[TS]
00:56:38
◼
►
unless i'm remembering it wrong i
[TS]
00:56:40
◼
►
couldn't find anywhere where you said
[TS]
00:56:43
◼
►
and by the way this is what I'm doing
[TS]
00:56:44
◼
►
like whether it comes to scrolling
[TS]
00:56:47
◼
►
direction you know whether you allow it
[TS]
00:56:51
◼
►
to you know whether whether you have the
[TS]
00:56:54
◼
►
little application active lights on in
[TS]
00:56:56
◼
►
the dock tell me about that I mean of
[TS]
00:56:58
◼
►
the main points that you can recall off
[TS]
00:57:00
◼
►
the top of your head how do you do it
[TS]
00:57:02
◼
►
what's what's John's machine like that's
[TS]
00:57:05
◼
►
a good that's a good topic to bring out
[TS]
00:57:06
◼
►
because it ties into another thing that
[TS]
00:57:09
◼
►
people frequently ask me despite the
[TS]
00:57:11
◼
►
fact that I do these big long news I
[TS]
00:57:13
◼
►
almost never I can't I don't remember
[TS]
00:57:16
◼
►
maybe with ten one I almost never
[TS]
00:57:17
◼
►
upgrade my own personal main system to
[TS]
00:57:20
◼
►
the new operating system on the day it's
[TS]
00:57:23
◼
►
released almost never I can't even maybe
[TS]
00:57:25
◼
►
with ten one I did it but I can't even
[TS]
00:57:28
◼
►
think of anything back that so all the
[TS]
00:57:29
◼
►
time that I'm using the OS for review
[TS]
00:57:31
◼
►
purposes I'm using sort of mongrel
[TS]
00:57:33
◼
►
installations a lot of the time when I'm
[TS]
00:57:35
◼
►
reviewing what I want is an empty hard
[TS]
00:57:37
◼
►
drive clean install to see what that
[TS]
00:57:39
◼
►
experience is like because I learned
[TS]
00:57:41
◼
►
this early on what I what I used to do
[TS]
00:57:43
◼
►
is clone my regular hard drive install
[TS]
00:57:45
◼
►
on top of it and try it like that and
[TS]
00:57:46
◼
►
that's not a good way to review an
[TS]
00:57:47
◼
►
operating system because if you if I
[TS]
00:57:49
◼
►
used to have tons of stuff installed
[TS]
00:57:51
◼
►
still do have a lot of little tweaks if
[TS]
00:57:52
◼
►
there's some little thing about my P
[TS]
00:57:53
◼
►
system in particular or some piece of
[TS]
00:57:55
◼
►
software that I used it's screwing up
[TS]
00:57:56
◼
►
the experience hurting performance
[TS]
00:57:58
◼
►
making bugs that aren't really there
[TS]
00:58:00
◼
►
it's easy to erroneously blame that on
[TS]
00:58:04
◼
►
the operating system one really is the
[TS]
00:58:05
◼
►
fault of some weird piece of software
[TS]
00:58:07
◼
►
that I had installed or some peculiarity
[TS]
00:58:09
◼
►
of my thing so what I want to do most of
[TS]
00:58:12
◼
►
the time is have a clean install the
[TS]
00:58:13
◼
►
operating system like on an empty hard
[TS]
00:58:15
◼
►
drive so I can say this is the OS as it
[TS]
00:58:17
◼
►
exists because I want to separate that
[TS]
00:58:19
◼
►
from software compatibility issues
[TS]
00:58:21
◼
►
because those can be resolved like a
[TS]
00:58:22
◼
►
week after release if it's some trivial
[TS]
00:58:24
◼
►
little bug or you know people the
[TS]
00:58:26
◼
►
software gets updated right so I don't
[TS]
00:58:28
◼
►
want to slam an entire OS and I see
[TS]
00:58:30
◼
►
reviews of those all the time slamming
[TS]
00:58:31
◼
►
OS because it's not compatible as some
[TS]
00:58:33
◼
►
piece of software that happened to use
[TS]
00:58:34
◼
►
and they write this big angry review and
[TS]
00:58:36
◼
►
three weeks later that software is
[TS]
00:58:37
◼
►
updated that issue is gone so they just
[TS]
00:58:39
◼
►
wrote you know thousands of words
[TS]
00:58:41
◼
►
screaming about how horrible this OS is
[TS]
00:58:43
◼
►
for an issue that by the time most
[TS]
00:58:44
◼
►
people read this review doesn't no
[TS]
00:58:46
◼
►
longer exist right so I am almost always
[TS]
00:58:49
◼
►
reviewing a stock system and as I use it
[TS]
00:58:52
◼
►
I start to build it up to more like what
[TS]
00:58:54
◼
►
I'm like I could probably make this
[TS]
00:58:56
◼
►
easier but even now I could just all
[TS]
00:58:57
◼
►
right so I sign in with my mobile me
[TS]
00:58:58
◼
►
thing and I think I'm on these stuff and
[TS]
00:59:00
◼
►
I and I install Dropbox and I stick my
[TS]
00:59:02
◼
►
Dropbox files and I throw a few
[TS]
00:59:03
◼
►
applications over there and it starts to
[TS]
00:59:04
◼
►
become more my system right then I start
[TS]
00:59:07
◼
►
to use it then I start to see how I use
[TS]
00:59:09
◼
►
this when I eventually have grade my
[TS]
00:59:11
◼
►
main machine because that you know it
[TS]
00:59:13
◼
►
starts to look like my environment but
[TS]
00:59:14
◼
►
then I erase it install the next
[TS]
00:59:15
◼
►
developer build Nets process starts all
[TS]
00:59:17
◼
►
over again so I really don't have a good
[TS]
00:59:18
◼
►
idea really of how I'm going to actually
[TS]
00:59:21
◼
►
use it when I upgrade the line I have I
[TS]
00:59:23
◼
►
have a notion because I've used it long
[TS]
00:59:25
◼
►
enough and sort of as I start to
[TS]
00:59:28
◼
►
converge towards what my environment is
[TS]
00:59:29
◼
►
like but I've been wrong before like
[TS]
00:59:33
◼
►
I've used it you know for months and
[TS]
00:59:34
◼
►
months and developer seeds and say yeah
[TS]
00:59:35
◼
►
when I upgrade this I'm deathly going to
[TS]
00:59:36
◼
►
have this option in this direction and
[TS]
00:59:38
◼
►
then when it goes into my main machine
[TS]
00:59:39
◼
►
maybe it's because some other software I
[TS]
00:59:41
◼
►
have on a machine or like for example I
[TS]
00:59:42
◼
►
rarely install drag thing on my machines
[TS]
00:59:45
◼
►
that I'm testing with but I always have
[TS]
00:59:46
◼
►
it installed in my on my main machine
[TS]
00:59:48
◼
►
that changes of the way I'm going to set
[TS]
00:59:50
◼
►
my options so so for example the
[TS]
00:59:53
◼
►
scrollbar issue I went back and forth
[TS]
00:59:55
◼
►
and back and forth and that's so long in
[TS]
00:59:58
◼
►
the dev bills on
[TS]
00:59:58
◼
►
the dev bills on
[TS]
01:00:00
◼
►
normally on permanently off auto-detect
[TS]
01:00:02
◼
►
I actually bought a Magic Trackpad so I
[TS]
01:00:03
◼
►
would have like the full swipey right I
[TS]
01:00:06
◼
►
wondered if you did that yeah I bought
[TS]
01:00:09
◼
►
that way back when I actually bought on
[TS]
01:00:10
◼
►
eBay cos I couldn't bring myself to pay
[TS]
01:00:11
◼
►
whatever it is 70 bucks but I got a good
[TS]
01:00:13
◼
►
deal on one in eBay and of course I have
[TS]
01:00:15
◼
►
the laptop I was testing out so that as
[TS]
01:00:17
◼
►
a trackpad - you know the scroll bar
[TS]
01:00:20
◼
►
visibility at first I thought oh my
[TS]
01:00:23
◼
►
persons think was yeah how these on
[TS]
01:00:24
◼
►
permanently always on no no question
[TS]
01:00:26
◼
►
right then I used it more and more so I
[TS]
01:00:29
◼
►
left it in the auto detect or scroll
[TS]
01:00:33
◼
►
bars invisible mode to do screenshots
[TS]
01:00:35
◼
►
and stuff and the thing the thing that
[TS]
01:00:39
◼
►
happened to me that happens a lot of
[TS]
01:00:40
◼
►
other people - is you start - if you're
[TS]
01:00:43
◼
►
an athlete if you like how things look
[TS]
01:00:45
◼
►
all out of proportion to what benefit
[TS]
01:00:48
◼
►
you get from them looking nice if there
[TS]
01:00:50
◼
►
is less clutter on the screen right you
[TS]
01:00:52
◼
►
do get used to not seeing those scroll
[TS]
01:00:56
◼
►
bars and that's generally the thing the
[TS]
01:00:58
◼
►
Gruber pointed out is a great example
[TS]
01:00:59
◼
►
because for example in that newswire an
[TS]
01:01:01
◼
►
application that I always have open and
[TS]
01:01:02
◼
►
that I use all the time I work very hard
[TS]
01:01:05
◼
►
to keep my subscription list in the left
[TS]
01:01:07
◼
►
hand sidebar so that no scrollbar is
[TS]
01:01:10
◼
►
visible because the interface gets
[TS]
01:01:12
◼
►
uglier when the scroll bar is visible so
[TS]
01:01:13
◼
►
if I have to add another subscription I
[TS]
01:01:15
◼
►
have to find something else to stick
[TS]
01:01:17
◼
►
into a folder so that my subscriptions
[TS]
01:01:18
◼
►
don't go too long and extend past the
[TS]
01:01:21
◼
►
and make a scrollbar become visible but
[TS]
01:01:23
◼
►
if you have the scroll bars on you know
[TS]
01:01:25
◼
►
the invisible hidden overlay mode you
[TS]
01:01:28
◼
►
don't have to worry about that anymore
[TS]
01:01:29
◼
►
so this is sort of a rational probably
[TS]
01:01:32
◼
►
counterproductive habit of mine of
[TS]
01:01:34
◼
►
keeping that list of the scroll bars
[TS]
01:01:35
◼
►
invisible simply because I find the
[TS]
01:01:37
◼
►
scroll bar uglier goes away I and you
[TS]
01:01:40
◼
►
know you know it's it's removing some
[TS]
01:01:42
◼
►
mental clutter from from the O's my OCD
[TS]
01:01:44
◼
►
mind but it's not you know it's maybe
[TS]
01:01:46
◼
►
it's just being groupers but I don't
[TS]
01:01:47
◼
►
think it's just the two of us you know
[TS]
01:01:48
◼
►
he doesn't like it see that scrollbar
[TS]
01:01:49
◼
►
visible and his stuff either yeah I like
[TS]
01:01:51
◼
►
in his mailbox list and something I
[TS]
01:01:53
◼
►
think a lot of people will get used to
[TS]
01:01:55
◼
►
not having these scroll bars even though
[TS]
01:01:57
◼
►
they're minimized even though the scroll
[TS]
01:01:58
◼
►
bars look not as glaring as a big blue
[TS]
01:02:03
◼
►
lozenge tube thing that it I think
[TS]
01:02:06
◼
►
you'll get to the point especially
[TS]
01:02:08
◼
►
because most people run with the
[TS]
01:02:09
◼
►
defaults and then most Mac users have
[TS]
01:02:11
◼
►
laptops with the defaults will be hidden
[TS]
01:02:13
◼
►
we're one of those people will come over
[TS]
01:02:14
◼
►
to someone's computer where they have
[TS]
01:02:16
◼
►
scrollbars visible because their geek or
[TS]
01:02:17
◼
►
their using a Mac with just a mouse
[TS]
01:02:19
◼
►
attached or something and be like good
[TS]
01:02:20
◼
►
like there they'll recoil at the look of
[TS]
01:02:23
◼
►
a screen covered with all these little
[TS]
01:02:25
◼
►
lozenges on the edges of windows you
[TS]
01:02:27
◼
►
know say it's already happened with the
[TS]
01:02:29
◼
►
resize widget if you use line for a
[TS]
01:02:31
◼
►
while and you go back and see those
[TS]
01:02:32
◼
►
three tiny little 45 degree lines in
[TS]
01:02:35
◼
►
lower right corner of a window yeah what
[TS]
01:02:36
◼
►
the hell is that it's like someone's
[TS]
01:02:37
◼
►
spit on your interface
[TS]
01:02:38
◼
►
it's like pinstripes never pinstripes
[TS]
01:02:40
◼
►
yes and even look at a pinch right that
[TS]
01:02:43
◼
►
screenshot without freaking out those
[TS]
01:02:44
◼
►
little resize stripes same thing already
[TS]
01:02:46
◼
►
I can't even look at those anymore in
[TS]
01:02:48
◼
►
the scroll bars in general are something
[TS]
01:02:51
◼
►
that people like for example if you go
[TS]
01:02:54
◼
►
into the web design world you'll see
[TS]
01:02:56
◼
►
that people would often force scroll
[TS]
01:03:00
◼
►
bars in other words even if a page
[TS]
01:03:02
◼
►
didn't have the same amount of content
[TS]
01:03:05
◼
►
as a page that would scroll in their
[TS]
01:03:07
◼
►
design in the CSS they would attempt to
[TS]
01:03:09
◼
►
force a scrollbar to appear so that you
[TS]
01:03:13
◼
►
wouldn't have that jarring effect of
[TS]
01:03:15
◼
►
going from an elegant main page that had
[TS]
01:03:17
◼
►
no scrollbar or from one article to
[TS]
01:03:19
◼
►
another page or article that does have a
[TS]
01:03:22
◼
►
scrollbar and you the whole layout just
[TS]
01:03:24
◼
►
sort of jumps around because of that I
[TS]
01:03:26
◼
►
mean scroll bars have been a problem for
[TS]
01:03:28
◼
►
years for a lot I think there's a lot of
[TS]
01:03:29
◼
►
people who think this is this is amazing
[TS]
01:03:31
◼
►
even int just not just the OCD picky
[TS]
01:03:34
◼
►
people like us but people who design
[TS]
01:03:36
◼
►
errs I was at that camp similar you know
[TS]
01:03:39
◼
►
the else is obsessive about how things
[TS]
01:03:41
◼
►
look is going to be designers yeah
[TS]
01:03:42
◼
►
programmers and geeks but but yeah that
[TS]
01:03:46
◼
►
way that was the old Mac way the classic
[TS]
01:03:48
◼
►
Mac OS way and that the policy I believe
[TS]
01:03:50
◼
►
right in the Higgs said if your window
[TS]
01:03:53
◼
►
can ever have content that goes beyond
[TS]
01:03:56
◼
►
the bounds of the window you must show
[TS]
01:03:57
◼
►
scroll bars all the time in active
[TS]
01:03:59
◼
►
there'll be disabled scroll bars but
[TS]
01:04:01
◼
►
they said they do not want scroll bar
[TS]
01:04:03
◼
►
suddenly appearing then suddenly
[TS]
01:04:04
◼
►
disappearing based on user action you
[TS]
01:04:05
◼
►
know so if you make a lots of content
[TS]
01:04:06
◼
►
suddenly scroll bars appear no that was
[TS]
01:04:09
◼
►
not the Mac Way Mac os10 introduced that
[TS]
01:04:11
◼
►
concept and the reason Mac os10
[TS]
01:04:12
◼
►
introduced that concept that was the
[TS]
01:04:13
◼
►
baby step of of hidden overlay scroll
[TS]
01:04:16
◼
►
bars because they said you know what
[TS]
01:04:18
◼
►
windows looks much much cooler when they
[TS]
01:04:19
◼
►
don't have those screw out of scroll I
[TS]
01:04:21
◼
►
snuck in them and I know in the classic
[TS]
01:04:22
◼
►
Mac OS world we always said programmers
[TS]
01:04:24
◼
►
please put scroll bars there just make
[TS]
01:04:26
◼
►
them inactive
[TS]
01:04:27
◼
►
so the controls don't appear disappear
[TS]
01:04:28
◼
►
but take a look at this look at this
[TS]
01:04:30
◼
►
terminal window here with one line
[TS]
01:04:32
◼
►
prompt then and I know you're not
[TS]
01:04:33
◼
►
terminal look at this preview window
[TS]
01:04:34
◼
►
with it with an image in it that just
[TS]
01:04:36
◼
►
exactly fits the int the the window
[TS]
01:04:37
◼
►
doesn't look much better especially
[TS]
01:04:39
◼
►
since now windows don't even have any
[TS]
01:04:40
◼
►
borders and we just have that
[TS]
01:04:41
◼
►
transparent line you know around the
[TS]
01:04:42
◼
►
edge the less crisp looks nice and yeah
[TS]
01:04:45
◼
►
we've got this little resize widget sort
[TS]
01:04:47
◼
►
of overlaying the content because we
[TS]
01:04:48
◼
►
have no place to put them when we don't
[TS]
01:04:50
◼
►
have scroll alleys but it looks so much
[TS]
01:04:52
◼
►
nicer so let's do that let's in Mac OS
[TS]
01:04:53
◼
►
10 let's decide that the policy and the
[TS]
01:04:55
◼
►
designers one on that one and Mac os10
[TS]
01:04:57
◼
►
from day one has been if you're the
[TS]
01:04:59
◼
►
policy has been obviously every app
[TS]
01:05:02
◼
►
doesn't follow this but Apple always has
[TS]
01:05:04
◼
►
and I believe the Aqua using device is
[TS]
01:05:06
◼
►
always said this if your content fits
[TS]
01:05:08
◼
►
exactly with me in the window there's no
[TS]
01:05:09
◼
►
reason to show up scroll bars and if it
[TS]
01:05:11
◼
►
suddenly doesn't add the scroll bars on
[TS]
01:05:13
◼
►
well now they're finally getting to the
[TS]
01:05:15
◼
►
last place it's a you know alright so
[TS]
01:05:16
◼
►
and if it suddenly becomes too big still
[TS]
01:05:18
◼
►
don't show the scroll bars torn you know
[TS]
01:05:20
◼
►
just don't show them at all if they
[TS]
01:05:21
◼
►
start scrolling then show them briefly
[TS]
01:05:22
◼
►
and so on and so forth and maybe you can
[TS]
01:05:24
◼
►
flash them when the content gets too big
[TS]
01:05:25
◼
►
we don't you know
[TS]
01:05:26
◼
►
it's they're trying to move away from
[TS]
01:05:29
◼
►
visual clutter and it's take a long time
[TS]
01:05:31
◼
►
to do that because they know they're
[TS]
01:05:33
◼
►
sacrificing information and I find that

feeling uncomfortable if not knowing if
[TS]
01:05:37
◼

there's more or forgetting if this more
[TS]
01:05:39
◼

and that's so far for me it hasn't gone
[TS]
01:05:40
◼

away so as I was saying getting back to
[TS]
01:05:42
◼
►
how I'm going to do things I started to
[TS]
01:05:44
◼
►
really like the way things look without
[TS]
01:05:46
◼
►
scroll bars but I also start to really
[TS]
01:05:47
◼
►
hate being fooled by whether there's
[TS]
01:05:50
◼
►
more content or not and I don't like
[TS]
01:05:52
◼
►
pawing at things to tell if there's more
[TS]
01:05:55
◼
►
stuff there I you know I think when I go
[TS]
01:05:59
◼
►
full time on my big monitor machines I'm
[TS]
01:06:02
◼
►
going to have scroll bars always visible
[TS]
01:06:04
◼
►
then I'm continue to not have to fight
[TS]
01:06:06
◼
►
to not have the scroll bar my you know
[TS]
01:06:08
◼
►
subscription pain in the newswire and
[TS]
01:06:09
◼
►
stuff like that on a laptop I think I'll
[TS]
01:06:13
◼
►
probably set it to auto mode in which
[TS]
01:06:14
◼
►
case they'll be hidden especially with a
[TS]
01:06:16
◼
►
small laptop I would do that well you
[TS]
01:06:17
◼
►
know you meant one thing I don't think
[TS]
01:06:19
◼
►
we mentioned you mentioned yet today on
[TS]
01:06:21
◼
►
today's show but you did mention in your
[TS]
01:06:23
◼
►
article is a lot of the time when a when
[TS]
01:06:26
◼
►
a window opens it will sort of flash the
[TS]
01:06:29
◼
►
scroll bars to indicate there's more
[TS]
01:06:31
◼
►
here and then they'll sort of quickly
[TS]
01:06:33
◼
►
fade away uh I noticed it sometimes
[TS]
01:06:37
◼
►
sometimes I don't notice it but you
[TS]
01:06:39
◼
►
would think that there could be some
[TS]
01:06:41
◼
►
subtle visual hint I'm not going to
[TS]
01:06:42
◼
►
attempt to suggest what that would be
[TS]
01:06:44
◼
►
but you know it there could be some
[TS]
01:06:47
◼
►
visual cue that was there that was
[TS]
01:06:49
◼
►
present for longer than that and
[TS]
01:06:51
◼
►
unobtrusive but would indicate there is
[TS]
01:06:53
◼
►
more content here in some fashion you
[TS]
01:06:56
◼
►
would have thought that would be there
[TS]
01:06:58
◼
►
well the flashing is the way the user as
[TS]
01:07:01
◼
►
I said in the review that yeah but it's
[TS]
01:07:02
◼
►
not very to use that when when suddenly
[TS]
01:07:05
◼
►
when suddenly things change
[TS]
01:07:07
◼
►
for instance one example would be when
[TS]
01:07:10
◼
►
you do like command G they'll find next
[TS]
01:07:11
◼
►
when you're searching it what has
[TS]
01:07:14
◼
►
changed is your position when the
[TS]
01:07:15
◼
►
documents they automatically teleported
[TS]
01:07:17
◼
►
you to page 22 where the occurrence of
[TS]
01:07:20
◼
►
the word you were searching for appears
[TS]
01:07:21
◼
►
and they want to communicate to you
[TS]
01:07:22
◼
►
where you've landed in the document
[TS]
01:07:24
◼
►
because you really have no idea just a
[TS]
01:07:25
◼
►
command G right so then they flash the
[TS]
01:07:27
◼
►
scroll bars and then you see the scroll
[TS]
01:07:29
◼
►
wires the scroll bars provide a huge
[TS]
01:07:30
◼
►
amount of information you know their
[TS]
01:07:32
◼
►
where their position is and the height
[TS]
01:07:34
◼
►
of them tells you a whole bunch much
[TS]
01:07:36
◼
►
more than just there's more stuff below
[TS]
01:07:38
◼
►
there's more stuff below as you
[TS]
01:07:39
◼
►
mentioned the talk show I think was like
[TS]
01:07:40
◼
►
one if they did a fade at the bottom or
[TS]
01:07:42
◼
►
something like that
[TS]
01:07:42
◼
►
anything you do that affects the content
[TS]
01:07:44
◼
►
area has real downsides because now
[TS]
01:07:47
◼
►
you're screwing with the people's
[TS]
01:07:47
◼
►
content you don't wanna be drawing on
[TS]
01:07:49
◼
►
top of it is that fade there or is that
[TS]
01:07:50
◼
►
fade in the bottom of the image is the
[TS]
01:07:52
◼
►
image just fade out at the end you know
[TS]
01:07:53
◼
►
like if you end up havin looking at an
[TS]
01:07:56
◼
►
image in preview that happened to have a
[TS]
01:07:57
◼
►
fade out at the bottom which is not
[TS]
01:07:59
◼
►
uncommon if it's you know a particular
[TS]
01:08:01
◼
►
gradient fade we would fool you into
[TS]
01:08:03
◼
►
thinking because you've been trained by
[TS]
01:08:05
◼
►
that OS effect that means it's more
[TS]
01:08:06
◼
►
content blended page down and nothing
[TS]
01:08:07
◼
►
would happen yeah it's really difficult
[TS]
01:08:09
◼
►
to screw with the content area it the
[TS]
01:08:12
◼
►
overlays because they appear and
[TS]
01:08:13
◼
►
disappear it's clear they're not part of
[TS]
01:08:14
◼
►
the contents clear they're transient and
[TS]
01:08:16
◼
►
they serve the same purpose as the
[TS]
01:08:17
◼
►
scroll bar but the proportional scroll
[TS]
01:08:19
◼
►
thumb and all that stuff it's not a
[TS]
01:08:21
◼
►
great solution I don't know if there is
[TS]
01:08:24
◼
►
one maybe maybe a great solution is to
[TS]
01:08:26
◼
►
have the scroll bars always visible and
[TS]
01:08:29
◼
►
further de-emphasize them
[TS]
01:08:31
◼
►
I don't know mmm it's a difficult
[TS]
01:08:33
◼
►
problem and every time I think about
[TS]
01:08:35
◼
►
this I always question like how
[TS]
01:08:37
◼
►
important is it really to get rid of
[TS]
01:08:39
◼
►
this this visual noise like are there
[TS]
01:08:41
◼
►
other places where you could get bigger
[TS]
01:08:42
◼
►
bang for your buck getting rid of visual
[TS]
01:08:44
◼
►
noise then then sacrificing all the
[TS]
01:08:46
◼
►
information provided by a scroll bar
[TS]
01:08:48
◼
►
I don't know I think we'll have to
[TS]
01:08:52
◼
►
experiment to determine but idea that's
[TS]
01:08:53
◼
►
that's how I think I'll use mango send
[TS]
01:08:55
◼
►
the dots I will definitely have on on
[TS]
01:08:57
◼
►
the applications because mostly because
[TS]
01:08:59
◼
►
it's going to be a long time I think
[TS]
01:09:01
◼
►
very long before our applications are
[TS]
01:09:03
◼
►
updated to allow auto termination
[TS]
01:09:05
◼
►
because that's one of the that's not as
[TS]
01:09:07
◼
►
easy to sell that to developers why they
[TS]
01:09:08
◼
►
should enable that though like no my
[TS]
01:09:10
◼
►
application you can't terminate so I'm
[TS]
01:09:11
◼
►
not going to able that feature ever
[TS]
01:09:13
◼
►
right that will be a difficult very
[TS]
01:09:16
◼
►
difficult cultural change but it's
[TS]
01:09:18
◼
►
shortly in the short term my
[TS]
01:09:19
◼
►
applications are not going to be like
[TS]
01:09:20
◼
►
that maybe some allocations will never
[TS]
01:09:21
◼
►
be like that like you don't want your
[TS]
01:09:23
◼
►
mail application to ever be auto
[TS]
01:09:24
◼
►
terminated even if all the windows are
[TS]
01:09:25
◼
►
hidden because you want it in the
[TS]
01:09:26
◼
►
background receiving mail right you know
[TS]
01:09:29
◼
►
so I don't know how that's going to go
[TS]
01:09:31
◼
►
every but yeah dots dots will be under
[TS]
01:09:32
◼
►
my applications what other options other
[TS]
01:09:34
◼
►
they'd be interested in how I think I'm
[TS]
01:09:35
◼
►
gonna run it you know to be honest those
[TS]
01:09:38
◼
►
are the main two now there's something
[TS]
01:09:40
◼
►
else I'll scroll direction scroll
[TS]
01:09:42
◼
►
Direction that was the other thing
[TS]
01:09:43
◼
►
yeah all right so it's crawl direction I
[TS]
01:09:45
◼
►
thought I had a couple people have
[TS]
01:09:48
◼
►
agreed with this point but I haven't
[TS]
01:09:49
◼
►
heard echoed so much my main issue with
[TS]
01:09:52
◼
►
scroll Direction well those two issues
[TS]
01:09:53
◼
►
one obviously is a consistency issue and
[TS]
01:09:55
◼
►
everyone was talked about that and you
[TS]
01:09:56
◼
►
can reverse them and Snow Leopard border
[TS]
01:09:58
◼
►
you have to use some other machine like
[TS]
01:09:59
◼
►
it's a transitional period you're always
[TS]
01:10:00
◼
►
going to be all screwed up that's
[TS]
01:10:01
◼
►
frustrating but my main issue is that I
[TS]
01:10:04
◼
►
don't use a laptop most the time I'm
[TS]
01:10:06
◼
►
using a desktop and I'm using a desktop
[TS]
01:10:07
◼
►
of the mouse attached to it and all I
[TS]
01:10:10
◼
►
might have scroll wheels and even if
[TS]
01:10:11
◼
►
they didn't my big thing is that finger
[TS]
01:10:14
◼
►
is grasped you know that your fingers in
[TS]
01:10:16
◼
►
a relaxed position when you can track
[TS]
01:10:19
◼
►
the muscles your fingers grasp that your
[TS]
01:10:20
◼
►
fingers pulled down extending is a less
[TS]
01:10:23
◼
►
natural motion the bigger the bigger
[TS]
01:10:25
◼
►
stronger muscles are in grasping you can
[TS]
01:10:27
◼
►
grip something much more tightly than
[TS]
01:10:28
◼
►
you can push the back of your fingers up
[TS]
01:10:29
◼
►
against something it's just the way
[TS]
01:10:31
◼
►
human physiology works and so I'm going
[TS]
01:10:34
◼
►
to be scrolling down all day long which
[TS]
01:10:36
◼
►
I am because scrolling is always the
[TS]
01:10:37
◼
►
you're almost always going down right
[TS]
01:10:39
◼
►
you're not scrolling up I want that to
[TS]
01:10:41
◼
►
be the motion that my body is most
[TS]
01:10:44
◼
►
efficiently able to form and that's
[TS]
01:10:46
◼
►
grasping so it's flicking down on the
[TS]
01:10:48
◼
►
scroll wheel simply because
[TS]
01:10:49
◼
►
physiologically that is that's the most
[TS]
01:10:52
◼
►
natural motion for fingers and I'm going
[TS]
01:10:54
◼
►
to be doing it all freaking day no I
[TS]
01:10:55
◼
►
I like touch base things I like the
[TS]
01:10:57
◼
►
magic mouse touch part I don't like the
[TS]
01:10:59
◼
►
other parts of the magic mastery it's
[TS]
01:11:00
◼
►
too low and too heavy but
[TS]
01:11:02
◼
►
I like touching stuff like that but it's
[TS]
01:11:04
◼
►
the same thing on touch same thing it
[TS]
01:11:06
◼
►
you want to be pulling towards yourself
[TS]
01:11:09
◼
►
it's not like the other way is going to
[TS]
01:11:10
◼
►
cause me to break my fingers off or it's
[TS]
01:11:13
◼
►
simply less efficient and less natural
[TS]
01:11:15
◼
►
I'm sure I will get used to it but for
[TS]
01:11:16
◼
►
now I'm definitely going to have scroll
[TS]
01:11:18
◼
►
direction in the quote-unquote normal
[TS]
01:11:20
◼
►
way which is kind of a shame because not
[TS]
01:11:23
◼
►
that I'm ever gonna use launchpad but if
[TS]
01:11:24
◼
►
I did if you're on launchpad and you
[TS]
01:11:27
◼
►
have like a touch Mouse and you have
[TS]
01:11:29
◼
►
scrolling set to like the snow leopard
[TS]
01:11:30
◼
►
direction for you know pulling down to
[TS]
01:11:32
◼
►
see lower in the document then scrolling
[TS]
01:11:34
◼
►
feels backwards on launch pad because
[TS]
01:11:35
◼
►
you see launchpad you like o on iOS mode
[TS]
01:11:38
◼
►
let me swipe those icons and it goes the
[TS]
01:11:39
◼
►
opposite direction you know so you can't
[TS]
01:11:41
◼
►
win it would be great if they could
[TS]
01:11:42
◼
►
change B you have independent axes you
[TS]
01:11:44
◼
►
know of like of vertical scrolling it's
[TS]
01:11:48
◼
►
kind of like a first-person shooter why
[TS]
01:11:50
◼
►
what do they call it up inverted why
[TS]
01:11:52
◼
►
every game it usually allows you to
[TS]
01:11:54
◼
►
invert the y-axis but keep the x-axis
[TS]
01:11:56
◼
►
the same when right when you pass around
[TS]
01:11:57
◼
►
because some people used to it it would
[TS]
01:11:59
◼
►
be nice if Mac os10 had inverted Y but
[TS]
01:12:01
◼
►
kept the X the natural way so that you
[TS]
01:12:03
◼
►
could swipe left and right among even if
[TS]
01:12:05
◼
►
you're just going swiping left or right
[TS]
01:12:06
◼
►
on Safari and stuff like that I would
[TS]
01:12:08
◼
►
like to have inverted Y but regular you
[TS]
01:12:10
◼
►
know X and also I really like it if they
[TS]
01:12:13
◼
►
would unlink the trackpad preference of
[TS]
01:12:16
◼
►
the mouse preference I've had people
[TS]
01:12:17
◼
►
tell me if you change the mouse and
[TS]
01:12:19
◼
►
trackpad tracking in the correct order
[TS]
01:12:23
◼
►
that you can change them independently
[TS]
01:12:24
◼
►
but every time I correct order yeah like
[TS]
01:12:27
◼
►
first change the mouse one to the
[TS]
01:12:29
◼
►
direction you want but then change the
[TS]
01:12:30
◼
►
trackpad one to the reverse or vice
[TS]
01:12:32
◼
►
versa I don't remember that somehow
[TS]
01:12:34
◼
►
they're not links but every time I tried
[TS]
01:12:35
◼
►
during testing I was like great there's
[TS]
01:12:37
◼
►
a separate setting in trackpad for
[TS]
01:12:38
◼
►
reverse direction except for setting a
[TS]
01:12:39
◼
►
mouse and every time I changed one and
[TS]
01:12:41
◼
►
one it would change on the other and it
[TS]
01:12:42
◼
►
doesn't help that Apple changed the
[TS]
01:12:44
◼
►
wording and I believe they even change
[TS]
01:12:45
◼
►
the logical meaning of like it used to
[TS]
01:12:48
◼
►
be a negative thing you would check the
[TS]
01:12:49
◼
►
turn on then change to a pop thing you
[TS]
01:12:52
◼
►
would uncheck to turn off but anyway
[TS]
01:12:54
◼
►
those two options the fact that they are
[TS]
01:12:56
◼
►
linked in anyway is annoying because I
[TS]
01:12:58
◼
►
think this should be independent because
[TS]
01:12:59
◼
►
obviously on a trackpad one thing feels
[TS]
01:13:01
◼
►
more natural than on a mouse so scroll
[TS]
01:13:04
◼
►
direction I will have in the old Snow
[TS]
01:13:06
◼
►
Leopard one because I use mouse wheels
[TS]
01:13:08
◼

and because I think pulling my finger
[TS]
01:13:09

towards me is more comfortable than

doing it the other way

[TS]
01:15:07
◼

that that I thought you did discuss and
[TS]
01:15:10
◼
►
you were critical of but I don't I don't
[TS]
01:15:14
◼
►
feel like you were - you you I don't say
[TS]
01:15:16
◼
►
you gave it a you gave it a kitchen pass
[TS]
01:15:18
◼
►
but you were way not critical enough you
[TS]
01:15:22
◼
►
are too nice even though you probably
[TS]
01:15:24
◼
►
devoted a whole page to it you are still
[TS]
01:15:27
◼
►
too nice
[TS]
01:15:28
◼
►
about the visual interface changes that
[TS]
01:15:33
◼
►
do nothing except give the appearance of
[TS]
01:15:37
◼
►
slowing things down and the example is
[TS]
01:15:40
◼
►
talking about a window that opens it
[TS]
01:15:42
◼
►
starts from the central point of where
[TS]
01:15:44
◼
►
the window will be when it's fully
[TS]
01:15:45
◼
►
expanded and it animates the expansion
[TS]
01:15:48
◼
►
of the window like you talked about that
[TS]
01:15:51
◼
►
you and honor you I wish you had been
[TS]
01:15:53
◼
►
twice as critical of that then you were
[TS]
01:15:56
◼
►
I mean it
[TS]
01:15:57
◼
►
the horribleness of that that to me is I
[TS]
01:16:02
◼
►
mean look I would say upgraded to two
[TS]
01:16:04
◼
►
lion just to get the new mail app it's
[TS]
01:16:06
◼
►
that good but I the war ABS for me the
[TS]
01:16:09
◼
►
worst thing about it I don't want to see
[TS]
01:16:11
◼
►
a window animating from a tiny little
[TS]
01:16:15
◼
►
pinpoint grow it fit it does everything
[TS]
01:16:18
◼
►
that you again you perfectly nailed the
[TS]
01:16:20
◼
►
issue in in your article it's just that
[TS]
01:16:24
◼
►
it gives the perception of being much
[TS]
01:16:26
◼
►
slower weather I mean I don't know how
[TS]
01:16:28
◼
►
you would time this but the length of
[TS]
01:16:31
◼
►
time that it takes to open a new window
[TS]
01:16:33
◼
►
in lion vs. Snow Leopard it's probably
[TS]
01:16:37
◼
►
pretty pretty much the same thing but it
[TS]
01:16:40
◼
►
feels so much slower online and the
[TS]
01:16:43
◼
►
perception is that things take a long
[TS]
01:16:45
◼
►
time though
[TS]
01:16:45
◼
►
now when you close the window it's gone
[TS]
01:16:47
◼
►
instantly and you mentioned that too
[TS]
01:16:48
◼
►
it's just you close it's gone
[TS]
01:16:51
◼
►
ah but opening windows it's it's so bad
[TS]
01:16:56
◼
►
and there's as far as I know there's no
[TS]
01:16:57
◼
►
way to turn that off yet is there I have
[TS]
01:17:00
◼
►
not found a way I thought I was pretty
[TS]
01:17:01
◼
►
no you were Lee again we're not you know
[TS]
01:17:04
◼
►
you were against the only but it was
[TS]
01:17:06
◼
►
well my video in the entire review it
[TS]
01:17:08
◼
►
wasn't enough yeah I mean I guess maybe
[TS]
01:17:10
◼
►
my old age I don't go off on there like
[TS]
01:17:12
◼
►
it's like what more others as I look at
[TS]
01:17:15
◼
►
this freakin video every time you make a
[TS]
01:17:16
◼
►
new document does the animation I
[TS]
01:17:18
◼
►
explain logically why this animation is
[TS]
01:17:21
◼
►
different from other animation I
[TS]
01:17:22
◼
►
described how it felt for it to appear I
[TS]
01:17:24
◼
►
said this was a bad choice I said I
[TS]
01:17:26
◼
►
think you know what you didn't I could
[TS]
01:17:28
◼
►
turn it off should have brought it up
[TS]
01:17:29
◼
►
you should have brought it up five six
[TS]
01:17:31
◼
►
seven eight more times throughout the
[TS]
01:17:32
◼
►
rest of the interview
[TS]
01:17:33
◼
►
I just what it taught over everyone's
[TS]
01:17:35
◼
►
pet peeve is they wish I would yell
[TS]
01:17:37
◼
►
about more but again maybe I'm getting
[TS]
01:17:38
◼
►
tired of my old age
[TS]
01:17:39
◼
►
yelling about things maybe I don't think
[TS]
01:17:40
◼
►
yelling is the most construct but I'm
[TS]
01:17:42
◼
►
with you a hundred percent and
[TS]
01:17:43
◼
►
everything you said there and I'm pretty
[TS]
01:17:46
◼
►
much just as pissed about it as you are
[TS]
01:17:48
◼
►
but in the grand scheme of things for
[TS]
01:17:52
◼
►
example I would be much more pissed if
[TS]
01:17:53
◼
►
scrollbars couldn't be made visible you
[TS]
01:17:55
◼
►
know what I mean I'm thankful for the
[TS]
01:17:57
◼
►
options I wouldn't but maybe that
[TS]
01:17:59
◼
►
tempered my I was one option they didn't
[TS]
01:18:01
◼
►
give me that's so horrible like it's the
[TS]
01:18:03
◼
►
one bad horrible thing you know I would
[TS]
01:18:06
◼
►
rather not have the scrollbars be
[TS]
01:18:08
◼
►
visible than this I wouldn't make that
[TS]
01:18:10
◼
►
trade sure I would because that's how
[TS]
01:18:12
◼
►
bad this is yeah it is bad and again
[TS]
01:18:16
◼
►
even if you hint like measuring trying
[TS]
01:18:19
◼
►
to get it trying to time it to see I'd
[TS]
01:18:21
◼
►
rather go back to the system system 6
[TS]
01:18:23
◼
►
scrollbar system 7 scroll bars and how
[TS]
01:18:26
◼
►
to live with those in this is it
[TS]
01:18:28
◼
►
empirically slower or do we have the
[TS]
01:18:31
◼
►
psychical spare the only thing I can say
[TS]
01:18:33
◼
►
about it is at the very least you are
[TS]
01:18:36
◼
►
you utilizing CPU and GPU resources more
[TS]
01:18:39
◼
►
than you used to be maybe there were
[TS]
01:18:40
◼
►
idle resources and they were there
[TS]
01:18:41
◼
►
anyway but if you want to go eco on it
[TS]
01:18:43
◼
►
you can say there's a slight increase in
[TS]
01:18:45
◼
►
power usage because now the GPU had to
[TS]
01:18:48
◼
►
draw the window when it's this size the
[TS]
01:18:50
◼
►
window when it's in between size and the
[TS]
01:18:51
◼
►
window full size whereas before they
[TS]
01:18:53
◼
►
were just have to draw the the window
[TS]
01:18:54
◼
►
once and repeat that over months and
[TS]
01:18:56
◼
►
months you probably it's probably extra
[TS]
01:18:58
◼
►
one eight thousandth of a penny and
[TS]
01:19:00
◼
►
electricity that you're being caught
[TS]
01:19:01
◼
►
well here's the thing here's hard to
[TS]
01:19:03
◼
►
come up with I mean everything you said
[TS]
01:19:05
◼
►
about why it's horrible I agree with but
[TS]
01:19:07
◼
►
empirically speaking I bet people I
[TS]
01:19:10
◼
►
don't know now John we we get a lot of
[TS]
01:19:12
◼
►
email from listeners and we appreciate
[TS]
01:19:14
◼
►
the email and a lot of the email is
[TS]
01:19:15
◼
►
correcting things that we've said or
[TS]
01:19:17
◼
►
commenting on things that we've pointed
[TS]
01:19:19
◼
►
out whether they agree or disagree and
[TS]
01:19:21
◼
►
once in a while we get like a little tip
[TS]
01:19:22
◼
►
if anybody can figure out the plist
[TS]
01:19:26
◼
►
setting or the default setting that they
[TS]
01:19:28
◼
►
can turn that off I don't want to I
[TS]
01:19:31
◼
►
don't want to have to install an app to
[TS]
01:19:32
◼
►
do it you know I'm saying just give me
[TS]
01:19:34
◼
►
give me something to type on internal um
[TS]
01:19:36
◼
►
I've been don't think I haven't been
[TS]
01:19:37
◼
►
looking for it and I'm assuming the vast
[TS]
01:19:39
◼
►
resources of the interwebs will
[TS]
01:19:41
◼
►
eventually find it if it exists here's
[TS]
01:19:44
◼
►
something I know that people I know that
[TS]
01:19:46
◼
►
people at Apple listen to this show I
[TS]
01:19:48
◼
►
don't know how many I know there is a
[TS]
01:19:50
◼
►
you know a small group of people at
[TS]
01:19:53
◼
►
Apple who listen to this I'm assuming
[TS]
01:19:55
◼
►
it's probably Steve Jobs and Phil
[TS]
01:19:57
◼
►
Schiller and a couple of their friends
[TS]
01:19:59
◼
►

[TS]
01:20:01
◼
►

[TS]
01:20:04
◼
►

[TS]
01:20:07
◼
►
you sent it I'll keep it on the DL
[TS]
01:20:10
◼
►
maybe I'll - I'll tweet about it I won't
[TS]
01:20:12
◼
►
mention who told me total secrecy total
[TS]
01:20:15
◼
►
anonymity but please let me know
[TS]
01:20:17
◼
►
today well if you want to get depressed
[TS]
01:20:18
◼
►
like I fully expected that you know just
[TS]
01:20:22
◼
►
because I wasn't able to find this in my
[TS]
01:20:23
◼
►
brief searching I fully expected once
[TS]
01:20:25
◼
►
this thing goes on the web I will
[TS]
01:20:26
◼
►
immediately get emails from 17 people
[TS]
01:20:28
◼
►
from Apple saying oh yeah here's the P
[TS]
01:20:30
◼
►
listing for it no contact so far so this
[TS]
01:20:33
◼
►
started making me scared that it really
[TS]
01:20:35
◼
►
is no way to turn it off because that
[TS]
01:20:37
◼
►
almost anytime I mention anything like
[TS]
01:20:39
◼
►
that in a review somebody from who knows
[TS]
01:20:43
◼
►
well immediately contact me telling me
[TS]
01:20:45
◼
►
what it is
[TS]
01:20:46
◼
►
and if not someone from Apple then wait
[TS]
01:20:48
◼
►
three days and someone on the internet
[TS]
01:20:50
◼
►
will find it ah if someone has found it
[TS]
01:20:52
◼
►
already please tell me I will be sure to
[TS]
01:20:54
◼
►
mention it on the show so now here's
[TS]
01:20:56
◼
►
some here's something that you know we
[TS]
01:20:58
◼
►
don't want to run too long but I feel
[TS]
01:21:00
◼
►
like I feel like we could really this is
[TS]
01:21:04
◼
►
such a great piece that you wrote here
[TS]
01:21:05
◼
►
this will be fodder for us for a long
[TS]
01:21:07
◼
►
time whether it's just as a few or
[TS]
01:21:10
◼
►
whether it's you know it's it's full
[TS]
01:21:13
◼
►
show topics but there's one thing that I
[TS]
01:21:15
◼
►
just I want to ask you because this is
[TS]
01:21:17
◼
►
something I'm thinking about doing today
[TS]
01:21:18
◼
►
so I got this new MacBook Air the day
[TS]
01:21:21
◼
►
that they were announced I ordered it
[TS]
01:21:22
◼
►
got here the next day and it my
[TS]
01:21:26
◼
►
understanding is at a MacBook Air as a
[TS]
01:21:28
◼
►
portable computer does that check out
[TS]
01:21:30
◼
►
sure and your recommendation was that
[TS]
01:21:34
◼
►
you would you would use full disk
[TS]
01:21:37
◼
►
encryption on I believe that the phrase
[TS]
01:21:40
◼
►
that you used was any comportable
[TS]
01:21:43
◼
►
computer I travel with was that the crew
[TS]
01:21:47
◼
►
is that the correct terminology is at
[TS]
01:21:49
◼
►
the fresh I don't remember wording but
[TS]
01:21:50
◼
►
what I was trying to get at is if you
[TS]
01:21:52
◼
►
think there's any possibility that you
[TS]
01:21:53
◼
►
would accidentally leave it somewhere it
[TS]
01:21:54
◼
►
could be stolen like if you're if you're
[TS]
01:21:56
◼
►
a traveling person you go through
[TS]
01:21:57
◼
►
airports or at hotels you know because a
[TS]
01:21:59
◼
►
lot of people get laptop computers that
[TS]
01:22:01
◼
►
never leave their house
[TS]
01:22:02
◼
►
we have laptop computers in our house
[TS]
01:22:04
◼
►
and they almost never leave the house if
[TS]
01:22:06
◼
►
they do they come with us to go to
[TS]
01:22:07
◼
►
another relative so you're saying if you
[TS]
01:22:08
◼
►
take a computer with you to work or to
[TS]
01:22:10
◼
►
coffee shops or or on trips like anybody
[TS]
01:22:13
◼
►
could fall into someone else's hands
[TS]
01:22:14
◼
►
you're saying turn this thing on yes and
[TS]
01:22:17
◼
►
also said performance performance does
[TS]
01:22:20
◼
►
not seem to be affected when you tested
[TS]
01:22:23
◼
►
it did you did you test it on a high
[TS]
01:22:25
◼
►
powered you know high-end MacBook Pro
[TS]
01:22:27
◼
►
with eight gigs of ram and i7 or what
[TS]
01:22:29
◼
►
actually let me before keep this thought
[TS]
01:22:32
◼
►
because I want to circle back to
[TS]
01:22:33
◼
►
something else we talked about before
[TS]
01:22:34
◼
►
sure it's related to this which is which

01:22:36
◼
►
I was trying to get to in the topic
[TS]
01:22:38
◼
►
about how I'm going to use line and how
[TS]
01:22:40
◼
►
I just tested in these weird forms and I
[TS]
01:22:42
◼
►
build it up to um like lunaire erase it
[TS]
01:22:43
◼
►
and try to test and clean installs yeah
[TS]
01:22:46
◼
►
and I said hi how I had an upgrade to
[TS]
01:22:48
◼
►
line yet and I rarely do and you know
[TS]
01:22:50
◼
►
immediately upgrade so the reason I
[TS]
01:22:52
◼
►
don't immediately upgrade my policy for
[TS]
01:22:54
◼
►
years has been let everybody else
[TS]
01:22:56
◼
►
upgrade let everybody else find all the
[TS]
01:22:59
◼
►
problems in the operating system and in
[TS]
01:23:01
◼
►
the programs as most of the programs and
[TS]
01:23:02
◼
►
my mo is to keep the previous operating
[TS]
01:23:05
◼
►
system on my main system obviously I
[TS]
01:23:06
◼
►
have auxilary systems and stuff upgrade
[TS]
01:23:08
◼
►
them on my main important system where
[TS]
01:23:09
◼
►
everything has to work what I want to do
[TS]
01:23:11
◼
►
is over the coming weeks and months or I
[TS]
01:23:14
◼
►
don't know how long it's going to be
[TS]
01:23:15
◼
►
update every one of the applications
[TS]
01:23:17
◼
►
that I use to be lion savvy so whatever
[TS]
01:23:19
◼
►
it is default folder X which I love
[TS]
01:23:22
◼
►
upgrade that to the Y in version they've
[TS]
01:23:24
◼
►
already done that you know the latest
[TS]
01:23:25
◼
►
version of BBEdit if it wasn't already
[TS]
01:23:27
◼
►
line savvy upgrade to the version that
[TS]
01:23:29
◼
►
is it I think it is already fine
[TS]
01:23:30
◼
►
everything all the applications that I
[TS]
01:23:32
◼
►
use on a daily basis let everyone else
[TS]
01:23:34
◼
►
discover what the problems are they're
[TS]
01:23:36
◼
►
in line and let me eventually end up
[TS]
01:23:38
◼
►
with a system running Snow Leopard that
[TS]
01:23:40
◼
►
nevertheless has all installed software
[TS]
01:23:43
◼
►
absolutely ready for Lion and that
[TS]
01:23:46
◼
►
includes stuff like macfuse like
[TS]
01:23:48
◼
►
whatever I get an updated version of
[TS]
01:23:50
◼
►
fuse that works with with line I want to
[TS]
01:23:51
◼
►
have that installed in Snow Leopard if
[TS]
01:23:53
◼
►
possible you know if I have to rebuild
[TS]
01:23:56
◼
►
any of my open source software and I
[TS]
01:23:58
◼
►
can't do it later you know rebuild
[TS]
01:24:00
◼
►
64-bit versions or something like that
[TS]
01:24:01
◼
►
right and what I want to happen is when
[TS]
01:24:04
◼
►
I finally decide to pull the trigger on
[TS]
01:24:05
◼
►
line install no surprises none I want to
[TS]
01:24:08
◼
►
upgrade and have everything just like
[TS]
01:24:10
◼
►
immediately work because I spent all
[TS]
01:24:12
◼
►
this time making sure every single
[TS]
01:24:15
◼
►
application and piece of so
[TS]
01:24:16
◼
►
where I use is line ready that's how I
[TS]
01:24:18
◼
►
go with the with the upgrade process
[TS]
01:24:20
◼
►
everyone thinks like I immediately
[TS]
01:24:22
◼
►
upgrade the line running at all time
[TS]
01:24:23
◼
►
people are constantly asking me oh can
[TS]
01:24:25
◼
►
you check this out in line has this work
[TS]
01:24:26
◼
►
or whatever it's like I would do it
[TS]
01:24:28
◼
►
because it takes two seconds but I'm
[TS]
01:24:29
◼
►
sitting in front of Snow Leopard at Snow
[TS]
01:24:31
◼
►
Leopard of home and certainly have Snow
[TS]
01:24:32
◼
►
Leopard of work because you know i
[TS]
01:24:33
◼
►
disrupt your work environment oh you're
[TS]
01:24:34
◼
►
sure everything's going to work and work
[TS]
01:24:36
◼
►
as a whole their issue in terms of IT
[TS]
01:24:38
◼
►
policy and all that business
[TS]
01:24:40
◼
►
so encryption falls under the same
[TS]
01:24:42
◼
►
category I said that you know Iran
[TS]
01:24:45
◼
►
encrypted almost the entire time using
[TS]
01:24:47
◼
►
Lion Inn for the dev build so the first
[TS]
01:24:50
◼
►
thing I did was I installed it is
[TS]
01:24:52
◼
►
something I needed to figure out like
[TS]
01:24:53
◼
►
right after was installed like what is
[TS]
01:24:55
◼
►
the first launch experience of this or
[TS]
01:24:56
◼
►
what are these defaults or whatever fine
[TS]
01:24:57
◼
►
I did that and then I immediately
[TS]
01:24:59
◼
►
encrypted
[TS]
01:25:00
◼
►
I used encrypted for months and months
[TS]
01:25:01
◼
►
and all the dev builds never a single
[TS]
01:25:04
◼
►
problem related to encryption never
[TS]
01:25:05
◼
►
corrupted my disk and I sure screwed
[TS]
01:25:07
◼
►
around with a disk utility command you
[TS]
01:25:09
◼
►
should you know did all sorts of stuff
[TS]
01:25:10
◼
►
that you shouldn't be doing it never had
[TS]
01:25:12
◼
►
a problem booting it never seemed slow
[TS]
01:25:14
◼
►
to me in any way no I didn't benchmark
[TS]
01:25:16
◼
►
it but I'm gonna say for most normal
[TS]
01:25:17
◼
►
people with spinning disks in particular
[TS]
01:25:20
◼
►
you just won't notice now obviously if
[TS]
01:25:23
◼
►
you're doing like video or even maybe a
[TS]
01:25:24
◼
►
heavy-duty multitrack audio or something
[TS]
01:25:27
◼
►
like that there is going to be some sort
[TS]
01:25:29
◼
►
of i/o hit for but I did not do
[TS]
01:25:30
◼
►
benchmarks in this there's another thing
[TS]
01:25:32
◼
►
if I had more time I would've done
[TS]
01:25:33
◼
►
benchmarks and some of these things it's
[TS]
01:25:35
◼
►
because I don't think line it was about
[TS]
01:25:37
◼
►
performance or benchmarking so that's
[TS]
01:25:38
◼
►
not like there was a thrust of the OS
[TS]
01:25:40
◼
►
and I had to spend my time and what I
[TS]
01:25:42
◼
►
thought was the most important some
[TS]
01:25:44
◼
►
people have done benchmark so for
[TS]
01:25:45
◼
►
example they did a benchmark of PGP
[TS]
01:25:47
◼
►
whole desk encryption versus Lions
[TS]
01:25:49
◼
►
actually was a little slightly older
[TS]
01:25:50
◼
►
version of PGP whole disk encryption
[TS]
01:25:51
◼
►
versus lines and lines encryption was
[TS]
01:25:53
◼
►
twice as fast it's more now it's not
[TS]
01:25:57
◼
►
it's not you don't get nothing for free
[TS]
01:25:58
◼
►
it's but I think it would be
[TS]
01:26:00
◼
►
imperceptible for normal usage browsing
[TS]
01:26:02
◼
►
the web doing some email even stuff like
[TS]
01:26:05
◼
►
running Photoshop stuff like that you
[TS]
01:26:07
◼
►
usually not IO bound most of the things
[TS]
01:26:09
◼
►
that you do and I think that Apple's
[TS]
01:26:12
◼
►
implementation is really solid that's
[TS]
01:26:14
◼
►
the reason I said if you have a Mac that
[TS]
01:26:16
◼
►
you think that's possibility could be
[TS]
01:26:18
◼
►
stolen the peace of mind you will get
[TS]
01:26:20
◼
►
from having that thing whole disk
[TS]
01:26:21
◼
►
encrypted is great and I said also based
[TS]
01:26:24
◼
►
on my multiple years now of using a Mac
[TS]
01:26:27
◼
►
at work that it is entirely encrypted
[TS]
01:26:29
◼
►
you forget it's the
[TS]
01:26:29
◼
►
there it has no software compatibility
[TS]
01:26:31
◼
►
issues except for the issue of one it's
[TS]
01:26:34
◼
►
the third party product in the upgrade
[TS]
01:26:35
◼
►
the OS and hoses you which I tweeted
[TS]
01:26:37
◼
►
about recently again updated to 1068 and
[TS]
01:26:40
◼
►
it hoes my PGP whole disk encryption
[TS]
01:26:42
◼
►
obviously if it's made by the operating
[TS]
01:26:44
◼
►
system vendor and built into the
[TS]
01:26:45
◼
►
operating system I would hope that you
[TS]
01:26:46
◼
►
wouldn't have those problems but no data
[TS]
01:26:50
◼
►
I've been paranoid ever since I
[TS]
01:26:51
◼
►
encrypted my Mac at work that I was
[TS]
01:26:53
◼
►
going to somehow lose my drive because
[TS]
01:26:54
◼
►
both of my drives are encrypted
[TS]
01:26:56
◼
►
including my time machine backup that I
[TS]
01:26:57
◼
►
was going to lose everything and you
[TS]
01:26:59
◼
►
know it hasn't happened I've always been
[TS]
01:27:01
◼
►
able to just boot from a recovery disk
[TS]
01:27:02
◼
►
you know I haven't forgotten my password
[TS]
01:27:04
◼
►
so I wholeheartedly endorse Apple's
[TS]
01:27:08
◼
►
whole disk encryption based on my
[TS]
01:27:10
◼
►
experience running it almost all the
[TS]
01:27:11
◼
►
time with the dead builds and based on
[TS]
01:27:13
◼
►
my experience with a third party product
[TS]
01:27:15
◼
►
running all this encryption it is way
[TS]
01:27:16
◼
►
better than any you know it because it's
[TS]
01:27:19
◼
►
invisible to application software all
[TS]
01:27:21
◼
►
your applications people keep asking me
[TS]
01:27:22
◼
►
the super duper workers encrypted disk
[TS]
01:27:24
◼
►
how am i backups work how does time
[TS]
01:27:25
◼
►
machine work your software has no idea
[TS]
01:27:27
◼
►
the disk is encrypted that's the beauty
[TS]
01:27:28
◼
►
of it it looks like a completely
[TS]
01:27:30
◼
►
unencrypted disk there are no software
[TS]
01:27:32
◼
►
compatibility if it's you know it's done
[TS]
01:27:33
◼
►
right there no software compatibility
[TS]
01:27:34
◼
►
issues with anything except excuse me
[TS]
01:27:37
◼
►
except maybe like boot loaders or the
[TS]
01:27:39
◼
►
boot process or whatever and again I
[TS]
01:27:40
◼
►
would think Apple get that right so
[TS]
01:27:42
◼
►
combine that advice with the notion that
[TS]
01:27:44
◼
►
I don't even upgrade my computer until
[TS]
01:27:46
◼
►
I'm sure all my application software
[TS]
01:27:48
◼
►
works and you'll get sort of a picture
[TS]
01:27:49
◼
►
of how I how I look at these things in
[TS]
01:27:51
◼
►
the review I don't want to say I don't
[TS]
01:27:53
◼
►
like reviews that say the temper every
[TS]
01:27:56
◼
►
single statement about the operating
[TS]
01:27:57
◼
►
system with but you know you should
[TS]
01:27:59
◼
►
really wait before you upgrade because I
[TS]
01:28:00
◼
►
wouldn't trust this quite right out of
[TS]
01:28:01
◼
►
the box and like like flood like you
[TS]
01:28:04
◼
►
know tempering every nice thing you say
[TS]
01:28:06
◼
►
or every interesting feature with like
[TS]
01:28:08
◼
►
but there's no way I would try this
[TS]
01:28:09
◼
►
until at least six months after it's
[TS]
01:28:10
◼
►
been out for a while to find the bugs
[TS]
01:28:11
◼
►
that's true of every single piece of
[TS]
01:28:13
◼
►
software ever not just zero point zero
[TS]
01:28:14
◼
►
and it weakens the review and it's
[TS]
01:28:17
◼
►
pointless to constantly reiterate after
[TS]
01:28:19
◼
►
everything every every feature you
[TS]
01:28:20
◼
►
describe but don't even try this now
[TS]
01:28:22
◼
►
because it's probably gonna be really
[TS]
01:28:23
◼
►
bugging you should wait six months
[TS]
01:28:25
◼
►
overall if you are concerned about bugs
[TS]
01:28:27
◼
►
compatibility wait six months period
[TS]
01:28:29
◼
►
that's not gonna do with an individual
[TS]
01:28:31
◼
►
feature and it's not a slight on the
[TS]
01:28:32
◼
►
product itself it's true of everything
[TS]
01:28:33
◼
►
it's true even a point release like I
[TS]
01:28:35
◼
►
shouldn't I shouldn't have been stupid
[TS]
01:28:36
◼
►
and upgraded to ten six eight by just
[TS]
01:28:38
◼
►
clicking a button you just get used to
[TS]
01:28:39
◼
►
doing that you know 10xy you just get
[TS]
01:28:42
◼
►
used to doing the wire releases all just
[TS]
01:28:43
◼
►
- sup date I should have waited a day
[TS]
01:28:46
◼
►
read on the web or looks for hey anyone
[TS]
01:28:48
◼
►
have any issues with 1068 I would have
[TS]
01:28:50
◼
►
immediately found the PGP hole disk
[TS]
01:28:51
◼
►
encryption people having problems and I
[TS]
01:28:53
◼
►
you know don't upgrade immediately just
[TS]
01:28:56
◼
►
for the hell of it and this is not
[TS]
01:28:58
◼
►
that's something and I talked about at
[TS]
01:28:59
◼
►
the end I think in the recommendation
[TS]
01:29:01
◼
►
section was trying to say don't be in a
[TS]
01:29:03
◼
►
hurry upgrade you know if you want to
[TS]
01:29:05
◼
►
great right away fine but you'll be
[TS]
01:29:06
◼
►
better off if you just wait that's just
[TS]
01:29:07
◼
►
that's true of all software period it is
[TS]
01:29:10
◼
►
not particularly true of line now if I
[TS]
01:29:11
◼
►
had individual experiences with the line
[TS]
01:29:14
◼
►
dev builds that led me to believe the
[TS]
01:29:15
◼
►
lion was buggy or the whole disk
[TS]
01:29:16
◼
►
encryption was buggy I probably would
[TS]
01:29:18
◼
►
have said oh I use holdest I tried to
[TS]
01:29:20
◼
►
use whole disk encryption all through
[TS]
01:29:21
◼
►
the dev builds but it never quite worked
[TS]
01:29:22
◼
►
so I don't quite trust the really
[TS]
01:29:24
◼
►
someone even that might not be fair
[TS]
01:29:25
◼
►
because Apple has done some amazing
[TS]
01:29:27
◼
►
turnarounds over the years where a
[TS]
01:29:29
◼
►
feature has been buggy buggy buggy right
[TS]
01:29:31
◼
►
up until like the very last build and
[TS]
01:29:32
◼
►
then it's rock-solid and users don't
[TS]
01:29:34
◼
►
know about this visit and run the dev
[TS]
01:29:36
◼
►
build but they've had some amazing
[TS]
01:29:37
◼
►
releases where just before like the bill
[TS]
01:29:39
◼
►
before the retail release everything
[TS]
01:29:41
◼
►
suddenly becomes super rock-solid in my
[TS]
01:29:43
◼
►
particular feature and never and never
[TS]
01:29:45
◼
►
back slides so my recommendation on this
[TS]
01:29:48
◼
►
is if you are running lion now if you've
[TS]
01:29:51
◼
►
made that plunge then I would say yeah
[TS]
01:29:53
◼
►
make the encryption plunge again
[TS]
01:29:56
◼
►
you have to have good backups you know
[TS]
01:29:57
◼
►
be prepared for disaster don't trust it
[TS]
01:30:00
◼
►
implicitly but that's that's true of
[TS]
01:30:03
◼
►
anything not just because of encryption
[TS]
01:30:04
◼
►
any minute you mentioned would super
[TS]
01:30:06
◼
►
something like SuperDuper work Time
[TS]
01:30:08
◼
►
Machine work it's going to but if you're
[TS]
01:30:10
◼
►
cloning the drive is the clone gonna be
[TS]
01:30:14
◼
►
encrypted or no oh no people have an
[TS]
01:30:17
◼
►
edge I just want to I just want to
[TS]
01:30:18

clarify that because SuperDuper is
[TS]
01:30:21
◼
►
operating at a system level which is
[TS]
01:30:23
◼
►
above the level of the encryption so it
[TS]
01:30:26
◼
►
sees regular files I just want people
[TS]
01:30:28
◼
►
understand this because if not you I'm
[TS]
01:30:29
◼
►
trying to save you emails John oh I'm
[TS]
01:30:31
◼
►
still getting them trust me alright but
[TS]
01:30:34
◼
►
yeah I mean if you said it would be the
[TS]
01:30:35
◼
►
same thing as copying a file to to
[TS]
01:30:37
◼
►
another hard drive over a network it's
[TS]
01:30:39
◼
►
it's going to decrypt it instantaneously
[TS]
01:30:41
◼
►
you're not going to know it was ever
[TS]
01:30:43
◼
►
encrypted super duper doesn't know
[TS]
01:30:44
◼
►
what's encrypted so of course anything
[TS]
01:30:46
◼
►
that you do like that including your
[TS]
01:30:48
◼
►
Time Machine backup so you you're
[TS]
01:30:49
◼
►
encrypting your Time Machine backup what
[TS]
01:30:51
◼
►
if I want to do both lines encryption
[TS]
01:30:54
◼
►
and PGP encryption will they play nice
[TS]
01:30:57
◼
►
I don't think that's possible did you
[TS]
01:30:58
◼
►
test it no okay so you're really your
[TS]
01:31:01
◼
►
review is incomplete then yeah okay sir
[TS]
01:31:04
◼
►
don't even try that is I don't think
[TS]
01:31:07
◼
►
that will work at all I think it will
[TS]
01:31:09
◼
►
just I don't think it'll house you data
[TS]
01:31:10
◼
►
but I think I'll almost certainly render
[TS]
01:31:12
◼
►
your system unbootable and so you advise
[TS]
01:31:15
◼
►
against that yeah don't do that
[TS]
01:31:17
◼
►
all right so maybe the way to think
[TS]
01:31:19
◼
►
about if I had known this it would be
[TS]
01:31:20
◼
►
such an issue of confusion I would have
[TS]
01:31:22
◼
►
tried to clarify more in their view but
[TS]
01:31:23
◼
►
the way to think about it is that when
[TS]
01:31:24
◼
►
you turn your machine on whether using
[TS]
01:31:26
◼
►
PGP or line or whatever you immediately
[TS]
01:31:28
◼
►
get this prompt that wants a password it
[TS]
01:31:29
◼
►
hasn't done anything yet it's like you
[TS]
01:31:31
◼
►
need to give me the magic word to allow
[TS]
01:31:35
◼
►
access to this drive once you give that
[TS]
01:31:37
◼
►
magic word on that very early firmware
[TS]
01:31:40
◼
►
based like it hasn't booted the
[TS]
01:31:41
◼
►
operating system it hasn't it has no
[TS]
01:31:43
◼
►
idea what's on your drive your drive is
[TS]
01:31:44
◼
►
just a completely opaque bucket of
[TS]
01:31:46
◼
►
scrambled binary crap at this point and
[TS]
01:31:48
◼
►
it puts up a UI and says type in a
[TS]
01:31:50
◼
►
password after you type that password
[TS]
01:31:52
◼
►
from that point on pretend your disk is
[TS]
01:31:54
◼
►
not encrypted and then then when
[TS]
01:31:56
◼
►
questions like well to make a time
[TS]
01:31:57
◼
►
machine back up
[TS]
01:31:58
◼
►
will it be encrypted you answer that
[TS]
01:32:00
◼
►
question by going back to that rule I
[TS]
01:32:01
◼
►
just said after you enter that password
[TS]
01:32:03
◼
►
your pretend your drive is not encrypted
[TS]
01:32:05
◼
►
okay your drive is not encrypted you
[TS]
01:32:06
◼
►
make a time machine back up as a time
[TS]
01:32:08
◼
►
machine back up encrypted no because
[TS]
01:32:10
◼
►
after you enter that password drive is
[TS]
01:32:12
◼
►
not encrypted period so I think it would
[TS]
01:32:13
◼
►
be fun to call this the show come what
[TS]
01:32:17
◼
►
was the thing completely what did you
[TS]
01:32:20
◼
►
just say it's great Leo Baeck bucket
[TS]
01:32:23
◼
►
bucket of a coronary cram room yeah
[TS]
01:32:26
◼
►
completely opaque bucket of binary crap
[TS]
01:32:29
◼
►
that is not the show because the show if
[TS]
01:32:31
◼
►
you were to run the file utility on it
[TS]
01:32:32
◼
►
from the old world of critics say you
[TS]
01:32:34
◼
►
know audio file or whatever so we won't
[TS]
01:32:39
◼
►
you simply fake so listen how are we
[TS]
01:32:41
◼
►
going to how we going to handle upcoming

[TS]
01:32:51
◼
►
think there's more in there a lot more
[TS]
01:32:53
◼
►
in there and remember like in my notes
[TS]
01:32:55
◼
►
from the previous show we had a whole
[TS]
01:32:57
◼
►
bunch of follow-up that we had the shell
[TS]
01:32:58
◼
►
that's totally not line related so
[TS]
01:33:00
◼
►
that's out there lurking in the back and
[TS]
01:33:02
◼
►
I've I've been adding to that and
[TS]
01:33:03
◼
►
there's still markdown out there but
[TS]
01:33:04
◼
►
