Wizzy and the Geeks.

A developer's POV on AAPL's morphing OS and the Web.

The Struggle to Stay Wizzy*.
via DaveNet

>I take it for granted, talking with my developer buddies, that Apple
screwed up big in the last few years. The Internet was happening and
Apple was ignoring it. That's our story. Never questioned, never
challenged.

But there's another view. Apple wasn't ignoring the net, they were paying
attention, but they didn't know what to do about it.

The big casualty in the onslaught of the net is wizzyness. It's an anti-wizzy
environment, it's in the genetics of the net to not be wizzy. Scripts, HTML,
databases, Java. Netscape isn't as high tech as OpenDoc. Not a wizzy design
tool in sight. And the net is stubborn. It resists attempts to make it wizzy.<

*Wizzy is a cute aphorism for wysiwyg. Wysiwyg stands for what you see is what you get.
