Do you do much copying of files at all? We can see a huge difference on our network (have had n since the first 11n Airport Extreme), with speeds 3-5 times faster than G in the same environment. For us, 11n actually made wireless an acceptable alternative.

= Wi-fight?

Guess not.

Are we due for a new, faster, standard now, since it has been 5 years for this to come to fruition?

Cutting edge is nice for the functionality; unfortunately it more often than not comes with unintended functionality. I like standing back a bit - not too much mind you, but enough to avoid the bleeding edge.

...and would normally make me happy; except I'm a Mac user. Still good news, but could've been better for a certain sub-set of the population, darn it.

File systems are one area where computer technology is lagging, comparatively speaking, so good to see innovation such as this.

...Chrome Frame will end in growing fragmentation and loss of control for most of us, including Web developers.'

A very important point. Those of us who build the web finally thought we were seeing some movement with the increasing adoption of Firefox (mainly) causing Microsoft to build better browsers in IE7, and more so, IE8. We really looked forward to moving from a development model where 50% of the time was spent building the site to standards, and 50% hacking for Internet Explorer.

...social networking.

Taking it to a new level, no joining or other conscious actions required to share everything about your life.

If you work for Apple, please comment on why you went with watered down phishing protection on the iPhone.

If anyone from Apple does comment, we'll not know for sure as they'll not be able to identify themselves sufficiently. As such, everything we do see will just be guesses. Some may make sense and quite probably be right, but who knows...

I gave up on reading all the comments. A lot of cynics, and a lot of people knocking the guy. Yet it is people like this who have historically driven so much innovation. So he's focused on product, and not on all the structure around it, which may or may not be his downfall. Is this such a bad thing? It is not a product driven by marketing, but by engineering, and these types of product are becoming harder and harder to come by. To the AC who said "You are at the blunt end of failure and you want help from slashdot." - having a functioning example is far from the blunt end, which is populated by those who can't quite make their products work. Sure, the guy has limited business nous, but at least he knows enough to know he needs help to go further. If one was to take the majority of comments here on slashdot seriously, almost everyone has startling intellect and experience in all fields pertaining to the world.
