Meeting Report: 11th June 2010

Two members brought their new iPads to this first SEAL meeting after the UK release so members got the chance to play with Apple’s latest.

We discussed the latest news including Apple’s iPhone 4 announcement and the recent release of Safari 5. Also mentioned were the winners of the Apple Design Awards for iOS (iPhone and iPad) apps and the Ars Design Awards run by Ars Technica for Mac Applications.

Dave brought along his G5 iMac which has recently succumbed we suspect due to the capacitor plague after 5 years of service. Dave opened up the computer so members could see it’s design and construction and also see the failed capactiors.

Robert gave an introduction to AppleScript presentation covering the basics of Apple’s scripting language and some of the uses it can be put to. He demonstrated some of his own scripts and showed members how they could find out more. Websites for more information on AppleScript include:
