Post Apple: WWDC Thread

We do a thread like this every 6 months so here goes. I'm more excited to hear what's in store for Snow Leopard than the new iPhone, even though a $99 iPhone would destroy everyone else in the smartphone market and AT&T's network at the same time. I'm expecting Apple to demonstrate the improvements you can make with OpenCL also I'm interested in what this Grand Central technology is all about, I'm wondering if they'll be able to work this technology so that affects everyday usage like opening programs, surfing the net, watching porn, etc etc not just obscure stuff like Genome folding or DNA analysis. Also wondering if they'll be dropping prices to compete better in this economy. A surprise appearance by el Jobso would be great for the company. I hope they release iPhone OS 3.0 today cause I was craving for some C&P yesterday.

for liveblogs I've been using Gizmodo lately cause they're page refreshes automatically and they're usually a little bit ahead of Engadget. I think I'm gonna try out Leo laporte this time too cause he's gonna at least have audio if not video.

Any news on the 4G iPhone? All I've been able to find is pure speculation which really isn't a shock owing to the fact that Apple is more secretive than the Soviet Union ever was. The real Iron Curtain is around Apple's HQ.

“It’s just another version of Vista.” Surprisingly, some groans from the audience from this.

10:19 AM ON JUN 8 2009


Mark Wilson:
“That’s Windows 7, same old technology as Vista.”

have they said anything about the iPhone yet? No they will but this is definitely not an iPhone only announcement as you can see. And since Apple doens't really do games that forum doesn't make since either. So you're wrong.

Ok. It's just that I've seen computer posts in both sections. I guess it's too gray.
