New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

lol when people expect (a) a whole new ios (b) new ios hardware, and all they get is a lick of paint and a load of genuinely useful apis

what

is

that

Illustration from a recent DARPA-tech presentation on smartwatches that can seek out their owners should they become separated.

okey dokey

it's one of those spider sentries from Minority Report.

First iWatch mock-up photo looks vaguely disturbing. Cyber-Wristhugger.

this isn't in reponse to anyone's posts itt, but it has to make an appearance now

hahahaoh god

Dave Grohl's neck/beard area looking distressingly George Lucas-esque there. I'd never noticed Tim Cook's resemblance to paul O'Grady before, either:

this bodes well for ios 7

"Podcasts" vibes

which is good because the redesign is nice

You know, if they could get iCloud working right it could be really great. I just:

Started a slide deck in Keynote on my desktop Mac, typed the title of the first slide, then left it open (hadn't titled it or saved it or anything)
Started another new deck in Keynote on my MacBook, typed the title of the first slide (the same one as on the desktop Mac). Saved my changes to iCloud, gave it a name etc.
Did a lot more work on the deck.
Came back to desktop Mac, saw that the virtually empty deck I'd started had been renamed to match the one from the MacBook, and all the content was already there.

It was a bit like magic.

appaz there's the icloud that manages stuff like this, and a completely different icloud that's a load of public apis that basically don't work

oh wait, i think the first icloud is just music/app distribution nm

Include the versioning control over iCloud docs that OS X already has and I'm with Stet on this. I'd even settle for this over fixing the CoreData iCloud issues.

thank christ for dropbox eh

lol

WWDC sessions times are up. Way more TBCs than the last couple of years, especially in Presido. Bodes well for keynote, I think.

Bugger all for Xcode too. Fingers crossed.

this'll be the first official apple event of the year

in june

lol

last year we had . . . *goes to check*

gawd, so much of my life in the first half of the 90s was structured around Apple events.

there were two: that textbooks thing and "the new ipad"

the last time was in october

Retina MacBook Pro was announced at WWDC last year.

huh?

i make the point that apple has done fuck-all interesting things in forever and a fanboy army jumps down my throat

gawd, so much of my life in the first half of the 90s was is structured around Apple events.

i reckon catch-up apis will be the focus this year

Maybe Cook will have the patience for steadily improving web services cu it seem like Jobs didn't.

our supplier is 100% convinced new Pro hardware is coming next week.

my bingo card: modular mini thunderbolt cube thing

just read that somewhere. That it's totally thunderbolt based.

yeah totally they just took a bunch of thuidnerbolt cables and rolled them into a ball and somehow imbued them with computing power

if it's ready it's gonna be announced next week because why wouldn't you announce a machine that all your developers would want at a developers' conference. though maybe they won't want it if it's a crazy thing

it'll be interesting to see if they shitcan the current mac pro

also what they'll call this

My money is on iAd, NewsstandKit, and PassKit updates!

The new Mac Pro model, expected later this year, is "something really different" according to a video professional who says he spoke with the Mac Pro product manager.

it's belgian

it produces strawberry jam and it wears a hat

loool

Because we’re sharing unlikely Mac Pro stuff that we’d like to see, I’ll add: unified GDDR5 memory!
