One of the real challenges of a company driven by one person's genius is that even an extraordinary one like Steve has only so much bandwidth. A great breakthrough product like iMovie can result from Steve's focus. You will get the resources to do something, but it will be done Steve's way or heads will roll. Within Apple having Steve's focus is a good news, bad news scenario. I can remember a time when we hauled some enterprise clients out, and Steve showed up and would only talk about iMovie. One of the interesting things about life at Apple is doing executive briefings and trying to get Steve to show up to talk to customers. While this might seem out of left field, I believe the explanation can be found in some of my old experiences at Apple. Additionally while I have finally grown to like Pages for certain uses, it has never been fast.

People who read the first post in this series might remember my statement that it took twenty years for Apple to come up with a piece of internally crafted software that I really loved.Īpple has also introduced some other really poorly performing software over the years with iWeb being the best example. However, here a few thoughts on the issue.įrom 10,000 feet, I still believe this has more to do with Apple trying to get their software more IOS like. I could speculate all day on that, and it would still just be pure speculation. The interesting question is why Apple would release a product like iPhoto 9.1.5 which is so much slower than the previous version? However, this is not a discussion about Lion on which I have zero experience.Īlso I realize that there is a newer version of Aperture, but I don't use Aperture nowadays so I'm am not interested in the spending the money for the upgrade. As have some others I have found it slower.' 'Not having a good Lion experience, it is a dog on my 2006 iMac and my 2009 MBP.' Here are two sample quotes from friends whose technical opinions I really respect. While it would be interesting to run tests with Lion, I keep getting reports from my more adventurous friends that are keeping me on Snow Leopard. I hope these tests might be helpful to others. I'll continue to use iPhoto on my iMac where I still have iPhoto version 8 libraries. I will be using Picasa on my MacBook where I cannot go back to the previous version of iPhoto. It is not unusual for me to import 500 photos in one day so speed in importing photos is important to me.

HP I7 laptop w/Picasa on Windows 7, 31 sec.

I5 iMac w/Picasa on Snow Leopard, time, < 30 sec.

Here are the results with the fastest system listed first (Perhaps iPhoto 9.1.5 was protesting the Droid being the timer.) Timing was done with the stopwatch App on my Motorola Droid phone. I configured it so I only had to click once on each system for the import to start.

I tested to see how long it took a computer to recognize the card, automatically launch the photo software and import all the photos. Returning to North Carolina's Crystal Coast gave me a good chance to run some more tests and include my I5 iMac.Īgain I formatted a SDHC device using my Sony camera. I was traveling when I did the recent tests that I published regarding iPhoto 9.1.5 and Picasa.
