File systems provide one of the most familiar interfaces end users know. Since implementing a traditional file system is extremely complex and difficult, presenting information seamlessly through files and folders has typically been limited to a small set of select programmers--often kernel hackers who develop at the lowest layers of a system. The MacFUSE mechanism breaks this barrier on Mac OS X by doing all the in-kernel hard work once and for all and leaving to the developer only the file-system-specific logic, which can be implemented as a regular user-space application. MacFUSE, with its simple programmer-visible API (same as the Linux FUSE API) and multiple language bindings, almost trivializes the process of making anything and everything appear seamlessly as a set of files and folders. You can use it to blur the line between the Macintosh Desktop and the Web. In this talk, you will hear the story of MacFUSE from its creator.

    9 months ago and this video is still more relevant than your comment.

    You don't say what your interests are, but I'm sure YouTube isn't just for You.

    Sure he's not a professional presenter, but he is a professional programmer. The subtleties of his comments are lost on guys who aren't in the know. There's a whole lot going on in his comments, even in the things he doesn't say, because we who know can tell he would have said something about it if it were important.  He didn't "not" say much.

    i like the things he says for a few seconds beginning with 0:21:37... that was funny :) "there's only so much u can do in mac os x. it's not like linux, where u can recompile the kernel every day and configure the hell out of it" B-) i think he's going back to linux :P

    Fantastic Talk Mr. Singh! You kept it simple and still had enough juice to keep the flow going.

    why would someone post a video on their own website? hmm..seems logical to me. if someone wants to put something on their website and you don't like it, why don't you go off theit website?

    how this relates to the real world: I have an external firewire/usb drive, I formatted as HFS+ for mac files and FAT32 for windows. but try to copy a 4.1 GB Single-Layer DVD or a 7 GB dual-layer DVD to a windows machine, you can't without paying for MacDrive to read HFS+ on the windows box. I only have a single-layer burner on the mac, so I will install MacFuse and then be able to copy 7 GB DVDs on my mac, write them to the NTFS partition & connect to a windows computer with a dual layer burner
