![]() It added a number of features that came from iOS, such as Game Center, Notification Center, Notes, and Reminders, and the Messages app replaced iChat. The device is a HDMI dongle that plays audio and video content on a high-definition screen by directly streaming it via Wi-Fi from the Internet or a local network. The media is selected, by users, to play on devices by enabling Chromecast mobile and web applications. ![]() Casting a tab for sites that are not Google Cast-enabled. mirrors most Google Chrome browser content running on the device (MAC OSX and Windows).Ĭhromecast uses a simple multicast protocol for discovery and launch. This protocol enables users to mirror their devices on a second screen. HPE supports mDNS protocol implemented as a server. mDNS is the primary method of discovering a Chromecast that supports the v2 API. While SSDP/DIAL support is still present and used by some applications (such as “ You Tube”), existing applications have to migrate to the new SDK using the new protocol. Cyberduck is an open source FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, Cloud Files and Amazon S3 browser for the Mac. More information Google recently switched away from DIAL.Put simply, the whole thing is actually a web page.Īnd it’s not static, either. It features an easy to use interface with quickly accessible bookmarks. The outline view of the browser allows to browse large folder structures efficiently and you can quickly preview files with Quick Look. Firing up the project will start you off with what appears to be a Mac’s power-on screen, which will eventually give way to an OS X logon screen. OS X BONJOUR BROWSER PASSWORDĮntering the password of ‘admin’ will then cause the web app to launch what appears to be a Mac desktop. Bonjour makes it easy to discover, publish, and resolve network services with a sophisticated, easy-to-use programming interface that is accessible from Cocoa, Ruby, Python, and other languages. HTML5 and CSS3 are two technologies that will allow web developers and designers to make more sophisticated websites, blurring the lines between the internet and ‘real’ applications. Bonjour, also known as zero-configuration networking, enables automatic discovery of devices and services on a local network using industry standard IP protocols. ![]() There’s no doubt that Alessio Atzeni does! The demonstration, put together by Alessio Atzeni is there to give us all an idea of just what is possible if you know what you’re doing. I used the software called Bonjour Browser on the laptop running OS X 10.9.1. You really need to give the thing a try yourself to appreciate it, but with web apps like this on the horizon, we have to wonder if Google has the right idea with its Chrome OS. I eventually found the only difference was that both Mac and iPhone were. That may be some way off becoming reality, but we all know how quickly things can change in this game, don’t we? If the web can really replace native applications then why would we need an operating system like we have today? ![]() We can’t wait to see how the web changes over the coming years. I’m going to put it out there with a thumbs up that the developer has done a very good job at this. Although there’s not a lot you can do with it, and in no means this project is meant to give you a virtual second desktop, but, it’s a great way to get a minor feel of OS X before you go ahead with a purchase, provided that you plan to do it. Also, inspire other developers and designers to come up with ideas like these for websites. This is something which Apple and Microsoft both should implement on their website to give new users a look and feel of their operating systems before making a switch.
