Ninite Easy PC Setup and Multiple App Installer - Great For Win7 Upgrades - http://ninite.com/
Ankit Ahuja liked this
The easiest way to get apps. Pick the apps you want. Start your customized installer. You're done! Ninite works in the background 100% hands-free. We install apps with default settings and say "no" to browser toolbars and other junk. All we do is install the apps you choose. Not even Ninite is installed.

I'm currently recommending people wait to install Snow Leopard. It breaks too many things and there's no apparent benefit (unless you need a specific new feature like Exchange support in Apple Mail).
- Leo Laporte
Agree with Leo
- Jesse Stay
Longest I have gone without installing a major upgrade.. (after working at Apple for many a year) and unfortunately not very excited about it either.. Over heard people at the coffee shop voice their disappointment as well.. Is this a poor excuse for an upgrade? wheres all the amazing new features for our main desktop platform? Apple pouring focus into mobile and letting the core slip?
- Tyson
Oy vey. It just blows my mind that people are complaining about the lack of wow factor in an upgrade that has been, from near the start, touted as an under-the-hood upgrade.
- Akiva
All I've been hearing about snow leopard is that it breaks stuff.
- Rahsheen the Dream
What I've been telling people is this: there's more to a major OS upgrade than just a bunch of desktop eye candy. Things are going to break even if it is an Apple product. Luckily for me, the only things that have broken have been very minor (Glims and Privoxy). Thus, the caveat that should haunt the release of any OS upgrade: unless you like living on the edge, just wait until the...

- Akiva
so we have to wait another year for the next "major upgrade" ?? Im sure Apple have a load of features they could have released? Apple can dictate tech trends.. Then I wonder are they actually slowing things down.. then I wonder is facebook also guilty of this by buying friendfeed?

I have all Mac's in my studio and only started with one, it's really fast...
- Jade Yeşim Gunver
Vista took 5 years to produce, it overpromised, underdelivered and is cludgy on computers made 3 years later and costs hundreds of dollars. Snow Leopard took 2 years to produce, promised very little, costs $30, and delivers speed, refinement, and stability and makes 3 year old laptops run faster

And yes: I'm a mac user and a red wings fan so...

Robert, if you lose your geek cred for not installing Snow Leopard right away, then something is wrong with the geek community.

oh well....I won't remove the geek credentials for that. In fact Id say they are stronger :-)
- Richard Binhammer
Are "geek credentials" really useful in order to be considered as a professional?

I haven't installed it either. From all I've read and heard, it sounds like a maintenance upgrade that you have to pay for. I'll wait for 10.6.1 and give all the apps a chance to update to the latest version. I think I'm more excited about the Windows 7 upgrade. :)

Rob: I highly doubt that Google will buy Twitter as it doesn't fits any were with their existing products and with its integration with Wave what's the point of buying it.

- Kfir Pravda
Kfir: Whatever. I've documented in video where Google Apps Support answers the -phone- when you call them. If you're running "corp" mail with a free account, you should not expect a paid support experience and you won't have access to the phone number of course. Here's the video I did a year ago for example: http://video.seesmic.com/threads... and it's gotten even better since then btw...

Google is taking over the world...one piece of the enterprise at a time.
- Don Martelli
(Just speaking for myself here) It's worth pointing out that Google is *itself* a huge user of Apps, and it works very well for just about everything we do. Sure, there are cases that aren't covered yet -- I suspect some sophisticated spreadsheet users aren't going to have all the features they need, but it seldom matters for day-to-day users. And I suspect the teams are working hard to close those gaps as fast as they can.
- Joel Webber
And from a "cloud security" perspective (one concern I see coming up a lot), it's also worth considering that Google is as susceptible to this issue with its own apps as anyone else, so the company has an extremely strong incentive to get security right.
- Joel Webber
Jay: in recent cases that I've witnessed and documented in my blog, Google apps showed that in some cases they suffer from performance issues. When I published it, I received several comments from others suffering from the same issue, including corp accounts. That's why I mentioned the fact that bouncing emails occur on this platform, and other issues exist, that are not necessarily reported/covered. I am happy that you received great customer service.

The web can take over as soon as multiple active pages with notifications are supported.

But then does he also hate OSX and OSX developers for the same reason? Is Safari OS around the corner?
- felix
Multiple Active Pages with Notifications? But that's no different from how apps on the iPhone run today — and, as for notifications, you could just use an outside mechanism like push or SMS.
- Chris Messina
@Felix: Jobs might find some Apple developers irksome at times, but on the whole, no, I don't think he hates them. And yes, Safari OS is around the corner, because it's mostly already here, in fits and starts. It's the just web, silly. :P
- Chris Messina
I mean that's what web apps need. There are some great interfaces on some of the web apps, but if I didn't have to have their pages open to get updates, I'd need far fewer native apps.

Safari OS is called Fluid, and I am running it right now. Out of the 15 active apps in my dock, there are 6 web browsers or site-specific browsers.
- Lars Trieloff
from email
@Lars: Fluid is just a wrapper for WebKit with a few nice touches added in. I wouldn't say that SafariOS is Fluid — but through WebKit and HTML5, you do get access to some hardware-based elements (location, GPU, offline storage), which is usually included in the purview of the OS.
- Chris Messina
@Chris - heh, but why would he hate the app store and iphone devs but not osx devs? They both get in the way of web apps? Also... why does he employ so many iphone devs instead of web app devs? :)
- felix
He doesn't hate iPhone devs — it's just that the web is the natural environment for mobile — so it seems to me — desktop/native apps have been there forever. Is the chance to start fresh that make the iPhone different.
- Chris Messina
Ahh, I see what you're saying. Although, honestly, I don't think they're screwing up the App Store on purpose, and I don't think he was being honest when he said web apps were just as good on the iPhone as the SDK - just the SDK wasn't ready for public consumption yet. But I guess we'll never know until we can FOIA corporate docs! ;)
