Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Apple then claims that: “Using media technology pioneered in OS X iPhone, Snow Leopard introduces QuickTime X, which optimises support for modern audio and video formats resulting in extremely efficient media playback. Snow Leopard also includes Safari with the fastest implementation of JavaScript ever, increasing performance by 53 percent, making Web 2.0 applications feel more responsive.”
Apple advises that “Performance will vary based on system configuration, network connection and other factors. Benchmark based on the SunSpider JavaScript Performance test on an iMac 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo system running Mac OS X Snow Leopard, with 2GB of RAM.”
So, the developers at WWDC are getting their sneak preview of Mac OS X “Snow Leopard” right now, and can start thinking about how their upcoming software can take advantage of the new features of Snow Leopard, with several months up their sleeves to spare.
And while OS X “10.6” looks like it definitely won’t appear this year, which some journalists expressed serious doubt over and turned out to be right about, the new version of OS X is officially on the radar and developers are now fully aware.
That is as it should be when it comes to Apple – its new operating system releases have in the OS X timeframe been far more regular and timely than Microsoft, so really, to be previewing Snow Leopard at 2008’s WWDC is actually perfect timing!
