As a developer, I found the keynote incredibly exciting. I'm looking forward to Tiger more than I was looking forward to Panther.

The week is packed full with demo sessions and hands-on workshops, where a lot of cool stuff get shown. Most of those will be available on ADC TV or as DVD discs sometime after the…

We'll probably get another preview of features in a few months.

What was being demoed was a load of APIs for developers and a little bit of sugar for the non-developers (and to show what can be done with them). Exciting stuff if you're a devel…

I was just thinking about this, and those features in the OS we all want but don't get... like say FTP in the finder that actually works. Or MSN compatibility with iChat. And the…

I have determined that the best way to transfer my songs from my Powermac to powerbook is the 800 firewire target mode. (if this isnt the best way please let me know) My question…

You can use Applescript folder actions to automatically add any songs you drop into a certain folder to your iTunes library. You can find them on Apple's website - search for iTu…

Hey all. In March my one year warranty ends, but my screen just started developing a dark spot on the bottom right of the monitor. you think they will replace it? You can't really …

Definetly! an LCD screen repair or replacemente out of warranty will be very expensive.

So, what kind of tools are available for developing a GUI for a pure java cross platform application? I take it that it is not possible to use Interface Builder and nibs if it's s…

Tools? you don't really need any. I always code the gui by hand. Java's Swing and AWT classes are really easy.

If you are learning Java then I would serially advise you to learn how to hand code swing applications by hand. Just so that you understand the basics. Many people have different …

The only thing I have really written in Java was a GUI to control a robot. It would display the position on a map it created along with the ability to move the robot to point X,Y …

Take a look at Foam. It's pretty interesting.

Unfortunately I'm not as big on Swing as the other posters here. I've used JBuilder's Swing GUI builder and it's pretty decent, though you still need to fill in some code by hand …

Different look and feels space object differently and even if you lock the window with absolute positioning, you will run into problems Apple does not recommend the use of absolute…

Yes, I am coming from a Cocoa background, and I am finding coding some things that are so simple a real pain in the a$$ in Java. I wish there were delegates too... grr. Oh well. …

Just some updates: Foam is brilliant.. it's exactly what I would like to use. However, it's $300 (EDIT: i was giving a rough estimate in Canadian dollars. with the current exchang…

Don't JBuilder and QT Designer also cost money? I know JBuilder used to be available for academic use for $99. I've used it before and it's decent, but it's no IB. You probably …
