Timothy D. Cook:
"We are constantly focusing on innovating.
We believe in the simple not the complex.
We believe that we need to own and control the primary technologies behind the products that we make, and participate only in markets where we can make a significant contribution.
We believe in saying no to thousands of projects, so that we can really focus on the few that are truly important and meaningful to us.
We believe in deep collaboration and cross-pollination of our groups, which allow us to innovate in a way that others cannot.
And frankly, we don't settle for anything less than excellence, and we have the self-honesty to admit when we're wrong and the courage to change."
Tiffany Screens - Presentation Broadcasting
I never really liked going to "PowerPoint Meetings", sharing the screen content with others during a meeting usually required to connect a projector to the presenter's Laptop. In a lengthy process, the Laptop's screen resolution and refresh-rate needed to be manually adjusted to synchronize with the projector. The adjustment procedure was often followed by a single lecture style presentation, featuring slides being projected hugely magnified onto one of the meeting room's walls.
Tiffany Screens allows you to share presentations (or any screen content) with your peer group, without requiring a projector.
Imagine a scenario, where every participant brought a Laptop to a meeting and watched the presentation on that Laptop's display -
participants would probably sit on a table facing each other, instead of the wall. No adjustments are necessary; images are scaled
automatically on arrival, to best match the receiver's display-capability. To support lively meetings, everyone participating can
with a single button click, turn his computer into the presenting device.

Theodore - Visual XUL Editor for Thinlet
In fall 2002 I had played around with Thinlets, which I liked for its lean approach. However, because it lacked tools and extensibility, I didn't want to use it for serious projects. Today, the Thinlet library might still lack an object-oriented implementation but at least there is a tool now .. meet Theodore.
After I had written Theodore 1.0, I was even more convinced that GUI resources belong into XML descriptors, to be evaluated at runtime, instead of using code generators before compile time.
In January 2003 I founded the Swixml open source project (www.swixml.org) to combine the benefits of Swing
(availability of models, extensibility of widgets etc.) with the lean XUL-approach, demonstrated by the Thinlet developers.

SwiXml - XUL Engine for Swing
Swixml, is a small GUI generating engine for Java applications and applets. Graphical User Interfaces are described in XML documents that are parsed and rendered into javax.swing objects at runtime.
