Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish In 2005, Steve Jobs CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios gave the commencement speech at Stanford University. At the end of that speech, he spoke of Whole Earth Catalog and the impact it had on him and his generation. “When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960’s, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.” “Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: “Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.” It was their farewell message as they signed off. “Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.” And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.”

Fix for iTunes 11 New Search Behaviour

Personally I really like the new iTunes 11. A clean grid of artwork with the gorgeous expanded view for albums. I think it is a very strong release. Good riddance to the sidebar.

The biggest gripe I had with the new version is about how search has changed. It used to be that you typed a search query and only what matched showed up - essentially filtering the content to  only the relevant songs.

Say I type “clapton”, the new way works like this:



A small pop over in the top right, under the search bar, with results from all different parts of the library. I don’t see how this new behaviour is more efficient.



I was happy to find out that there is a solution to bring back the old behaviour. Click on the magnifying glass and uncheck the box to “Search Entire Library”:


Now we’re back to relevant search results within the active view tab, displaying all the content that is relevant to the search query. What a relief.
