You may not know what the WWDC is, but if you use computers, you should check out this hour long presentation. It’s a quicktime streaming video of the keynote speech given yesterday morning at the World Wide Developers Conference (those are the people who make all the software for your computer). If you’re a Mac fan, you’ve likely already seen it. If not, here’s a link to the page where you can get the video:

Seriously. Apple previewed some of the features of their new operating system which they say will release next spring (which we think means January…) and it’s just fantastic. Time Machine is an automatic back up and restore program for everything on your computer that will just blow your mind. Like, “How is that POSSIBLE???” kinda blow your mind. Spaces gives your four virtual desktops to easily switch to, and use simultaneously. Amazing. Improvements to Mail, iChat, iCal and more. Like, in iChat, you can now share slideshows with your friends through iChat theater, and even share your desktop! In mail you can send HTML email using 30 built in templates (might be more when they release it) and all sorts of really great features.
Watch the video. It’s amazing.
