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.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
