Open Source Developers at Google: Amit Singh on MacFuse

I did

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?

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

WOW 1 hour video.. that's insane

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

I very much like the file (object) oriented metaphor as it is one great way - if not _the_ way - to go! I hope Apple take it up - without fear and prejudice of Google - and support it as it would put OS X further ahead of Windows NT (Yes NT cause Vista is built upon and only improved upon in terms of (graphics) hardware driver model and a few APIs)... The Picasa and Google Docs Demo's showed its real power and useability that a MAC should _ALSO_ be renowned for! Come on APPLE!!!

Hello, I REALLY enjoyed Amit Singh's speech regardless of what other people thought. I enjoyed the history he went through to take us up to the present and show us the future for what improvements macFuse can do. I am curious how it is evolving and would love to see some follow ups, thanks :) I agree with Amit and would love to see this project become apart of the file system technology for further improvements!

Khumar?

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.
