I’m surprised he turned it in to Springer Verlag; he’s quite readable, and from my recollections of them, Springer Verlag books tend to be a bit dry and academic, with thin and reedy fonts that are a drag on the eyes. Of course, I could be wrong, but I don’t have any Springer Verlags in my library.

While I am shaking with desire, let me note some of the grace notes that seem to have been overlooked in the bigger feature announcements that had the audience going ooh and aah.

Labels have returned (about 14:00). Much as I liked Unsanity's implementation, I don't think it ever allowed searching for labeled items. If Apple brings this back from its OS 9 graveyard, there may be life for other OS 9 features.

Postscript to PDF on the fly (about 36:00). Finally all those academic papers I downloaded from the ACM and IEEE libraries are readable without having to resort to Ghostscript.

Waiting for the auto-negotiate of the iChat with Parisian addresse Jean-Marie Hullot, creator of InterfaceBuilder (45:30): “It takes a little while longer to negotiate with France.”

Microsoft jab (51:00).

Incremental compile, bringing XCode (the new IDE) closer to the Smalltalk ideal. Java has this in Websphere, which was built on Smalltalk technology, and perhaps Eclipse, which was dervied from the Websphere model. Xcode looks like it is starting to become a much more useful platform for Extreme Programming.
