So Apple's WWDC was yesterday, and I finally watched the Keynote live (via satellite) for the first time. It was fun to see, and there was some really exciting new stuff announced. Besides the obvious drooling over the G5 (although I'm not so sure I like the new case at all) I have a couple reactions.

First: Exposé. This feature is, in every way, insanely great. The video makes it look a little weird and jarring, but watching the Keynote demo, it looked like the most natural thing you could imagine. All I could think when I saw it was, "Wow. That's exactly how it should be. How could I ever have had to dig through windows for the one I want?" This is the sort of simple, powerful, and useful interface innovation than makes me love Apple.

Second: Safari 1.0. I want to love this browser, I really do. It's fast, it's sleek, it's elegant, it's tab implementation is very nice (even if they are upside down)... it's almost everything I want in a browsers. I like Camino quite a bit, but recently it's been flakey for me, and the development on it seems to have slowed down significantly, so I'd like another browser, at least for the moment, and I'd like Safari to be that browser. But. I just can't accept Safari's poor cookie management. Inexplicably, there is no option to prompt for new cookies, and thus allow or deny them on a site-by-site basis. Since every browser I can think of has this, I can only think of two explanations: They haven't had time to implement it yet, or they have decided that it's not a worthwhile feature. I sincerely hope it's the former, because as much as I like Safari, cookie control is a deal-breaker for me.
