What about OpenDoc?

Yeah.

What about it?

I don't know.

It's dead, right?

Huh?

It's dead, right?

I don't know.

I spent a lot of time working on it.

Yeah.

I'm sad.

Well, you know, let me say something that's sort of generic.

I know some of you spent a lot of time working on stuff that we put a bullet in the head of.

I apologize.

I feel your pain.

But Apple suffered for several years from lousy engineering management.

I have to say it.

And there were people that were going off in 18 different directions, doing arguably interesting things in each one of them.

Good engineers.

Lousy management.

And what happened was you look at the farm that's been created with all these different animals going in different directions, and it doesn't add up.

The total is less than the sum of the parts.

And so we had to decide what are the fundamental directions we're going in and what makes sense and what doesn't.

And there were a bunch of things that didn't.

and microcosmically they might have made sense, macrocosmically they made no sense.

And, you know, the hardest thing is, when you think about focusing, right, you think, well, focusing is saying yes,

no. Focusing is about saying no. Focusing is about saying no. And you've got to say no,

no, no, no. And when you say no, you piss off people.

And they go talk to the San Jose Mercury and they write a shitty article about you.

You know?

And it's really a pisser.

because you want to be nice.

You don't want to tell the San Jose Mercury, the person that's telling you this,

you know, just was asked to leave or this or that or this or that.

So you take the lumps.

And Apple's been taking their share of lumps for the last six months in a very unfair way.

And it's been taking them, you know, like an adult.

And I'm proud of that.

And there's more to come, I'm sure.

There's more to come.

I mean, some of these, I read these articles about some of these people that have left.

I know some of these people.

They haven't done anything in seven years.

And, you know, they leave and it's like, you know, it's like the company's going to fall apart the next day.

And so, you know, I think there'll be stories like that that come and go.

But focus is about saying no.

And the result of

that focus is going to be some really great products where the total is much greater than the sum of the parts.

And OpenDoc, I mean, I was for putting a bullet in the head of OpenDoc.

A, I didn't think it was great technology, but B, it didn't fit the rest of the world isn't going to use OpenDoc.

And I think as a container strategy, there's some stuff in the Java space that's much better.

And even the OpenDoc guys were basically trying to rewrite the whole thing in Java anyway, which was a restart.

So it didn't make sense.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
