Apple's 2009 WWDC Keynote is going to start soon. Here's a photo from one of the banners from the second level of Moscone which reads:Threading has left the station.
Grand Central DispatchThe banner is referring to a new feature in Snow Leopard that will allow developers to more easily support multi-core processors for improved performance on the Mac.

We're providing live coverage for the event at MacRumorsLive.com (http://www.macrumorslive.com/) and all traffic from MacRumors.com will redirect to that page when the time comes.

[Knolly]

It's time to bring the noise, Schiller.

[carve]

YAY! I'm excited!

[Donz0r]

Look at that Silver Quicktime Icon!

I REALLY hope Snow Leopard has the new Marble user interface! Pleaase Apple! Windows 7 has really stepped it up in the visuals department, Apple needs to maintain its lead!

[colourclassic]

June 19, eh? I guess that's when SL will ship/be available...

[talkingfuture]

Excitement is building now. 1 1/2 hours to go!

[carve]

Uh....did the iPhone part of the forum just disappear on the side of the front page....?

Nevermind it's back D:

[themoonisdown09]

Look at that Silver Quicktime Icon!


Must mean it's Quicktime Platinum Edition. :D

June 19, eh? I guess that's when SL will ship/be available...

Wow, that would be crazy. Why else would they have June 19 on there rather than June 8 (date of the keynote).

[Peace]

June 19, eh? I guess that's when SL will ship/be available...


June 19th is when the Calendar first came out. Or something to that effect.

nevermind. Wrong date

[Lesser Evets]

I can't imagine this will be anything too amazing, but we never know.

Upgraded iPhones: wonderful.
OSX: good.

However, we know what is coming, and it was all to be expected anyway. The iPhone wasn't going to remain a static piece of technology.

[jbgh]

June 19, eh? I guess that's when SL will ship/be available...

where did u see june 19?
really cool looking quicktime logo
edit: oh right :P
ical's icon is usually jul 17th because thats the day they introduced it i think.. whats happening on jun 19 omg!

[billchase2]

where did u see june 19?
really cool looking quicktime logo
it's on the banner.

[Feng Shui]

Steven Ballmer is going to fall off his chair when he sees the SL demo.

[aznkid25]

Apple Store is still up with an hour and a half left before the keynote. This isn't normal is it? (Assuming they are coming out with a new iphone)

[Josso]

Please....

Snow Leopard release today. :D

[atalerico]

June 19th is when the Calendar first came out. Or something to that effect.

nevermind. Wrong date

iCal was introduced Sept 10, 2002

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICal

[SkippyThorson]

Quicktime overlapping the iCal icon, and the Tools overlapping the iChat icon both mean something big. ;)

I can't wait for this thing to start - even if it is Schiller!

[mitchellr1705]

Everyone remember last year when the MacRumorsLive Page got hacked and loads of posts about Steve Jobs dying etc...

Hope you've tightened security this time. LOL

Otherwise we may all go to Engadget again :)

http://thedigitallifestyle.tv/

The above site claims to be having a live video feed from the event. even though this isn't allowed.

How I read the clever wording on their site is that they will have a live video feed of their people talking about whats happening live but not video of the actual keynote.

You thoughts?

Hopefully today we will get a release date for 3.0 and Snow Leopard which both I'm looking forward too soooooooooo much :)

I will only get the iPhone 4G/Video/S only if the physical appearance is radically different and lots more features other than in 3.0.

Look at other phone manufacturers they bring out new phones but never of the same build. It gets a little boring just having a new back and bezel to the iPhone. :(

BUT :apple::apple::apple::apple::apple::apple::apple::apple: FTW

[4D4M]

Windows 7 has really stepped it up in the visuals department

Yeah but, as the old saying goes, you can't polish a turd!

[Shiner]

June 19, eh? I guess that's when SL will ship/be available...

Thats the first thing I thought!!!

[InkMaster]

Yaay! Pretty icons!

[alec]

come on new Macbooks... poppa needs a brand new bag!

[Annngel]

I'm so excited i'm gonna pee in my pants

OMGGGGGGGGGGG

[Sky Blue]

June 19th is when the Calendar first came out. Or something to that effect.



July 17th. My wedding anniversary ;)

[Ade-iMac-177]

19th June seems too soon - they are giving the final DP today and i don't think they can get in the problems and go golden master i just two weeks!

[mitchellr1705]

it's on the banner.

Very observant. they have put this very suterly. Could mean something!!!

[Ade-iMac-177]

July 17th. My wedding anniversary ;)

Haha - my Birthday ;)

[pdjudd]

Could mean something!!!
Of course sometimes a cigar is just a cigar...

[skinnylegs]

Please....

Snow Leopard release today. :DDon't hold your breath.

[MedHead]

Yeah but, as the old saying goes, you can't polish a turd!

Hahaha, possibly one of my favourite quotes from macrumors! :P

I CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANT WAIT........:D :D

Irish apple store still fully accessible!

[timROGERS]

Looks like the release date could well be June 19th! Any ideas for why some of the icons overlap?

[benflick]

I wish I was there:(

[k2spitfire88]

June 19, eh? I guess that's when SL will ship/be available...

Wow. Good pick up. I hope this is true! I will be ordering right away if it is available then! :D Looks flipping awesome! :D

[fishkorp]

19th June seems too soon - they are giving the final DP today and i don't think they can get in the problems and go golden master i just two weeks!

Plenty of people are saying the build to be distributed today is the gold master.

[MedHead]

How about June 19th as the date Steve Jobs returns? Special media event?

[Spadezzfurry27]

Hopefully they will release the new iphone 3.0 software today. It is really about time and the summer is here time to release it! Also with the new iphones hopefully they do get spoken about I mean its almost garenteed with all these rumor sites talking about it. Snow leapord will be sweet cant wait to put that on my mac. We just have to wait and see but I'm very excited about this all...

[jhsfosho]

How about June 19th as the date Ateve Jobs returns? Special media event?

I like the sound of that.

[Axemantitan]

June 19, eh? I guess that's when SL will ship/be available...

Or when it is available for pre-order.

[queshy]

Oooo exciting. My best guess is a 6/19 release date but that's too soon. We'll find out soon I guess!

[amac4me]

It's just an icon folks .. no way Apple releases Snow Leopard on June 19. In the press release to announce WWDC here's what Apple said about Snow Leopard:

“Last June, we gave developers an early look at the powerful new technologies that form the underpinnings of Mac OS X Snow Leopard,” said Bertrand Serlet, Apple’s senior vice president of Software Engineering. “At WWDC, we will be giving our developers a final Developer Preview release so they can see the incredible progress we’ve made on Snow Leopard and work with us as we move toward its final release.”

Here's the Press Release (http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2009/05/13wwdc.html)

There's way Apple gives developers a final Developer Preview and then 11 days later releases Snow Leopard. It's time for everyone to calm down, take a step back and understand it will be released soon but not in 11 days.

[Sky Blue]

Hopefully they will release the new iphone 3.0 software today.

Keep dreaming.

[Peace]

Looks like the release date could well be June 19th! Any ideas for why some of the icons overlap?

This is why.

[BlizzardBomb]

June 19, eh? I guess that's when SL will ship/be available...

Sounds too soon to be true, but a plausible explanation anyway. That Quicktime icon is slick! Hope the whole interface gets slickerized too.

[celtikmind]

Steven Ballmer is going to fall off his chair when he sees the SL demo.

If it's only a demo - no, probably not.

If it's released today, then yes, maybe! ;)

[cmcconkey]

19th June seems too soon - they are giving the final DP today and i don't think they can get in the problems and go golden master i just two weeks!

The 19th is soon, but it is a Friday and Apple has been fond of releasing things on Fridays.

[Ade-iMac-177]

Plenty of people are saying the build to be distributed today is the gold master.

ooh - never thought of that- i do hope so - that would be awesome - i am so looking forward to getting Snow Leopard!!

[macjock]

Please let it hurry up,

We've had all day to wait here in the UK:(

[Beric]

I wish I was there:(

I wish I were there.

And I do as well. ;)

[gibbz]

I'm ready to slap Snow Leopard on the new Mac Pro.

[themoonisdown09]

It also looks like the Time Machine icon has changed to silver. It's on the far bottom right.

Old Time Machine icon:

http://2.static.getsatisfaction.com/uploaded_images/0074/7871/time-machine-icon_wide.png

[iGtMacSkilZ]

Hence the "Snow" Leopard meaning WINTER it wont be coming out today

[macjock]

Ordinarily, how long before the keynote is up on apple.com?

[lousycracker]

The Australian Apple store is down.... "We'll be back soon".....

[MedHead]

It also looks like the Time Machine icon has changed to silver also. It's on the far bottom right.

Old Time Machine icon:

http://2.static.getsatisfaction.com/uploaded_images/0074/7871/time-machine-icon_wide.png

Is logo in the bottom left of the banner not the iSync Logo?

EDIT: Irish store just went down......wooo! :P

[edwdcook]

That silver QT icon (ugly as it is) is sure evidence of the new Marble interface

[Peace]

It also looks like the Time Machine icon has changed to silver also. It's on the far bottom right.





That's the sync utility icon.

[colourclassic]

[DELLsFan]

Man ... do I feel sick ... looks like I'll have to go home early! :D

[Sky Blue]

Hence the "Snow" Leopard meaning WINTER it wont be coming out today

hahaha


no

[aznkid25]

Apple Store is Down!!

[Axemantitan]

US Apple Store is down!

[str1f3]

That silver QT icon is evidence of the new Marble interface

I hope you're right!

[wadejc85]

Yeah but, as the old saying goes, you can't polish a turd!

Actually, I believe you can.... Did anyone else see that Mythbusters? :p

[JPT]

Engadget has posted another pic of a banner. It too has June 19th on it

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/wwdc-keynote-2009-06-07_23-34-13-rm-eng.jpg

[Mars478]

That Quicktime logo is sexy. The current one sucks! June 19th! I hope I can install this on My G5 or my MSI Wind!!!

[aznkid25]

Ordinarily, how long before the keynote is up on apple.com?

Usually around 2 or 3PM PST. So about 4 hours after the end of the keynote.

[str1f3]

Apple Store is Down!!

New iPhone released today?

[k2spitfire88]

US Apple Store is down!

I was gonna post it, but you beat me to it!

[Becordial]

Steven Ballmer is going to fall off his chair when he sees the SL demo.

And he only has a ZuneHD to comfort him. :D

[WinterMute]

Guys the stores always go down, further references will be deleted.

[k2spitfire88]

New iPhone released today?

Or SL orders? :p

[Eidorian]

Now to get applications that take advantage of this goodness.

[Donz0r]

Looks like the release date could well be June 19th! Any ideas for why some of the icons overlap?

Seriously?

um... because it's an artistic banner?

[themoonisdown09]

Is logo in the bottom left of the banner not the iSync Logo?


That's the sync utility icon.

That's the iSync logo, not time machine.

Thanks guys. I guess you're right. I didn't see the Time Machine icon anywhere, so I figured that's what it was.

[netdog]

iPhones come out on Fridays too.

I'd love to have SL in my hands on June 19th. It should give a nice bump to my MBA and my Mac Pro.

[Chundles]

Engadget has posted another pic of a banner. It too has June 19th on it

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/wwdc-keynote-2009-06-07_23-34-13-rm-eng.jpg

That's the default iCal icon.

[Cander]

Yeah but, as the old saying goes, you can't polish a turd!

Actually you can. The Mythbusters did it. Only used poo and water.

[str1f3]

I've got the feeling that 3.0 and the new iPhone will be released today! W00T!

[billchase2]

I've got the feeling that 3.0 and the new iPhone will be released today! W00T!

announced today? sure... released today? i'm doubtful.

[talkingfuture]

Actually you can. The Mythbusters did it. Only used poo and water.

That was a great episode.

[kas23]

Quicktime overlapping the iCal icon, and the Tools overlapping the iChat icon both mean something big. ;)


OMGZ!! They need to be overlapped to fit on the iPhone Nano's screen!

[thefunkymunky]

The default for my iCal icon is July 17th :confused:

[queshy]

MR already beating Engadget in terms of "most up-to-date" news! Keep up the excellent work.

[Chundles]

The default for my iCal icon is July 17th :confused:

Huh, I take it back.

[MedHead]

The default for my iCal icon is July 17th :confused:

Same, Im still betting thats when Jobs is coming back! :D

[queshy]

The default for my iCal icon is July 17th :confused:

are you running Tiger? In leopard the calendar icon reflects the true date.

[Sky Blue]

The default for my iCal icon is July 17th :confused:

You're on 10.4 :)

[hodgey1989]

The default for my iCal icon is July 17th :confused:

same, i am still running 10.4 though

[kas23]

Looks like the release date could well be June 19th! Any ideas for why some of the icons overlap?

iPhone Nano=smaller screen=need for overlapping icons.

[MedHead]

not in the applications folder! :P

[str1f3]

announced today? sure... released today? i'm doubtful.

Snow Leopard won't be released today. Developers are now going to get Gold Master. The only reason the store would be down is if they had something to sell. GearLive reported that they believed OS 3.0 and iphone Video are coming out today.

[JPT]

That's the default iCal icon.


July 17th is the default ;)

http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/300.html#ical
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICal

[Libitina]

UK store is still up.

So far anyways.

[thefunkymunky]

are you running Tiger? In leopard the calendar icon reflects the true date.

You're on 10.4 :)

same, i am still running 10.4 though

No, I'm on Leopard 10.5.7 here.

[Eddyisgreat]

I'm surprised some of you haven't gone as far as to count the number of icons on the poster, then cross reference this with biblical quotes and lunar eclipses to speculate the exact date Apple will release every Apple product from here on.

Cuz its pretty obvious Apple's design team knows how to tell the future, if you can read it right.

[bdkennedy1]

Steve Jobs returns to Apple on the 19th!?

[maxchains155]

are you running Tiger? In leopard the calendar icon reflects the true date.

Only when in the Dock. In Stacks or Finder it still shows July 17th.

[gloss]

Yeah but, as the old saying goes, you can't polish a turd!

Actually, in this case you can. And they have. And it's shiny and good.

[pdjudd]

same, i am still running 10.4 though
That's because the newer version of iCal that shipped with leopard changes the dock icon automatically to match the date. Tiger does not offer that.

[Swordfish42]

man im really hoping for an updated macbook too. even a couple of speed bumps, anything

[quinny61994]

Is June 19th = Special media event where Steve will come back and introduce Snow Leopard, new Macs?

I hope so, that's my birthday!

[Doju]

Woo! I told my teacher I had to leave school early... but secretly it was for this! :P

Stoked, can't wait. I thought I heard of an audio stream? Is that true?

THIS IS GOING TO BE AWESOME.

[Sky Blue]

What's the icon in the bottom right?

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/wwdc-keynote-2009-06-07_23-34-13-rm-eng.jpg

[Peace]

The home icon has also changed.

The icon on the bottom right is the trash icon.

[Doju]

Oh, if the stores go down, do they only do that when they're going to release a product? Or always just for the hell of it? If so, we'll at least get a new product.

I hope SL is on the 19th. :O

[fleshman03]

June 19, eh? I guess that's when SL will ship/be available...

Agreed! Looks like that is a strong candidate for SL release date.

[kas23]

Hence the "Snow" Leopard meaning WINTER it wont be coming out today

That, or June 19th, 2010.

[TheMechanic]

June 19th!?! It's quite obvious.
Apple has released the first two iPhones on a friday. And the 19th is a friday. Thus the new iPhone will be released on June 19th.
And Snow Leopard as well because the iPhone is the first "Mac" to run it!!:eek:

[bytethese]

Wow, I picked a perfect time to come back from my honeymoon. Let's hear some even more great news. :) I'm ready for an iPhone upgrade...

[freedevil]

Maybe the Iphone is coming June 19th

[maxchains155]

The home icon has also changed.

The icon on the bottom right is the trash icon.

That's FileVault.

[MedHead]

The home icon has also changed.

The icon on the bottom right is the trash icon.

is that not the firevault icon?

Icon in the bottom left something to do with multicore?

[fleshman03]

What's the icon in the bottom right?

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/wwdc-keynote-2009-06-07_23-34-13-rm-eng.jpg

Why does that remind me of AppleWorks?

http://cultofmac.com/wp-content/uploads/appleworks.jpg

[Chundles]

The home icon has also changed.

The icon on the bottom right is the trash icon.

I can only see the FileVault icon, where's the new home icon?

[Sky Blue]

The home icon has also changed.

The icon on the bottom right is the trash icon.

That's FileVault.

Why are there RAM chips in the trash?

[GeekLawyer]

Same, Im still betting thats when Jobs is coming back! :D

Steve Jobs returns to Apple on the 19th!?

No. Apple has announced that Steve Jobs will return from medical leave at the end of this month. Not the middle of next month.

[MikeTheC]

Yeah but, as the old saying goes, you can't polish a turd!
Yeah, that's what I'm sayin', man...

I mean, I've got Win7 RC on my PC, and I don't see *any* difference between it and Vista, excepting the cosmetic differences which still look like crap IMHO...

No faster, not more efficient, not more stable (or, to be fair, less stable)...

(On a separate note, this leads me to believe that all the "OMG! Win7 is so much better!!11!one!!" folks here and other places are a bunch of trolls.)

I am very excited to see what SL has got, and I suppose iPhone 3.0 as well... Now, if they'd just offer it CDMA through Sprint... *sigh*

[tigres]

It's my b-day today, so let's make it a good one Apple!

kthx

[Peace]

That's FileVault.

is that not the firevault icon?

Icon in the bottom left something to do with multicore?

My bad.

It should be the home icon!! :p

[kas23]

This confirms there is new hardware coming out today, right?

[billchase2]

while everyone is excited and pumped up for the event now... i always get tired of the disappointment and complaining that arises as soon as the event is over. no one is ever happy enough, no matter what happens during the keynote.

[MagicWok]

19th June seems too soon - they are giving the final DP today and i don't think they can get in the problems and go golden master i just two weeks!

June 19th when we can purchase the new iPhones? lol, maybe not, but in keeping with pre-talk 'fever'...

[MedHead]

It's my b-day today, so let's make it a good one Apple!

kthx

Me too...*sings* Happy Birthday to us....*

[bacaramac]

Engadget is reporting mumblings of Steve Jobs sightings. Who has the elevator covered?

[MagicWok]

while everyone is excited and pumped up for the event now... i always get tired of the disappointment and complaining that arises as soon as the event is over. no one is ever happy enough, no matter what happens during the keynote.

Because that is what will happen everytime, till the end of time. It's in the T&C's when you signed up here :D :p

[kas23]

No. Apple has announced that Steve Jobs will return from medical leave at the end of this month. Not the middle of next month.

They never announced he went on medical leave, and for an individual who is very private, why would they officially announce he's coming back?

[manwich]

I'm looking to buy a new mb too, but I'm not too worried about the hardware upgrades, that's a given now that the white is claimed edge out the 2.0 unibody. They'll certainly have to do something about that. As for snow leopard, it would help apple if they can get it out before the back to school surge (june 19?) Then every freshman in town would have a shiny new apple months before windows 7 hits the shelves and they'll tell their buddies to buy it. What I really want to see is them putting the battery technology from the 17" into the 13s and 15s. Then I'll buy. a mb with 10 hours of life? Just imagine.

[SkippyThorson]

I'm surprised some of you haven't gone as far as to count the number of icons on the poster, then cross reference this with biblical quotes and lunar eclipses to speculate the exact date Apple will release every Apple product from here on.

Cuz its pretty obvious Apple's design team knows how to tell the future, if you can read it right.

Actually, doing that foretells the exact date of each iPhone launch divided by the week number of the Panther OS launch - however, that is only if you include the average number of security patches in the 3rd week of every August - which is exactly why the Quicktime icon is silver, thusly signaling the anniversary of an event that led to the birth of Steve. :eek:

[tigres]

Me too...*sings* Happy Birthday to us....*

Well a happy B-day to you as well there MedHead!

How many are b-day peeps today?

so far +2

Make us happy :apple: need some new stuff.

[jbuk]

Am I the only one who can see the Final Cut Pro icon on the banners, possibly hinting at a new version of Final Cut Studio with better multicore performance to compliment Snow Leopard?

[buckyballs]

That's FileVault.

Why are there RAM chips in the trash?

I'm guessing that's Objective-C's Garbage Collection

JUST IN

http://cdn.cloudfiles.mosso.com/c107202/wwdc09-03.jpg

Is this a new dashboard icon on the left hand side of the banner?

EDIT: My bad, other left.

EDIT 2: Better pic - Kudos gdgt

EDIT 3: Icon on left is Grand Central (the traffic light)

[iSimx]

it's getting closer.... :D under 1 hr yay!!

[Quocy]

It also looks like the Time Machine icon has changed to silver. It's on the far bottom right.

Old Time Machine icon:

http://2.static.getsatisfaction.com/uploaded_images/0074/7871/time-machine-icon_wide.png

thats the iSync app

[blondepianist]

That's my birthday! w00t! :D

[GeekLawyer]

They never announced he went on medical leave, and for an individual who is very private, why would they officially announce he's coming back?

http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2009/01/14advisory.html

What do I have to gain by lying on an internet forum??

[Kevlar]

That's FileVault.

Why are there RAM chips in the trash?

Looks like movie film to me in the trash. Probably new Quicktime associated files icons.

[KBV1]

Is there a live seed to watch this?

[BornAgainMac]

Look at that Silver Quicktime Icon!

I REALLY hope Snow Leopard has the new Marble user interface! Pleaase Apple! Windows 7 has really stepped it up in the visuals department, Apple needs to maintain its lead!

I agree. I don't understand why it would be difficult to do this Marble user interface. Just slap it in Apple.

[QCassidy352]

I'm surprised some of you haven't gone as far as to count the number of icons on the poster, then cross reference this with biblical quotes and lunar eclipses to speculate the exact date Apple will release every Apple product from here on.

I actually have done that. I just don't want to spoil the surprises for the rest of you.

while everyone is excited and pumped up for the event now... i always get tired of the disappointment and complaining that arises as soon as the event is over. no one is ever happy enough, no matter what happens during the keynote.

That's what comes from reading rumors for months. Read enough speculation and you'll eventually hear people predicting everything under the sun, and then, when something realistic happens, it can't compare. Well, that and people like to whine on the internet. ;)

p.s. - you're all really going to enjoy June 14, 2013.

[kas23]

while everyone is excited and pumped up for the event now... i always get tired of the disappointment and complaining that arises as soon as the event is over. no one is ever happy enough, no matter what happens during the keynote.

You are 100% correct, sir. In about 3 hours, we will be swamped by people bitching and moaning. However, until then, we must hype this to no end.

[Punani]

What's the icon in the bottom right?

That's the icon for the garbage collector (cf. the GC inspectors in Instruments (and I'm sure the pages around developer.apple.com)) which is supposed to have had a serious rewrite to support Grand Central Dispatch (cf. http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/autozone/autozone-77.1/README.html?f=text).

[adamkozlowski]

It was usually so that Jobs called Schiller (eg. on iChat), so i guess that this time it's gonna be the other way round. I think that's a perfect way to showcase the video conferencing on the iPhone with built in iSight camera.

[Macminiintel]

maybe the date on the banner is the iPhone release date. I would kinda expect Apple to release Snow Leopard maybe after October 26th, to make 10.5 Leopard more than two years old.

[DavidLeblond]

I'm betting the overlap is caused by the banner designer randomly tossing the icons about to make it look like they "exploded" out from the center. Some of these are bound to overlap.

Sorry to be a killjoy. :D

[bytethese]

Is there a live seed to watch this?

Missed the frontpage somehow? :)

[gtgrad95]

Does anybody have a link to the audio?

[headfuzz]

Woo! I told my teacher I had to leave school early... but secretly it was for this! :P

Stoked, can't wait. I thought I heard of an audio stream? Is that true?

THIS IS GOING TO BE AWESOME.

Leaving school to sit in front of a computer hitting refresh on a website for text info that will readily be available when you get home, probably in glorious HD video, without any server overload issues?

No offence, but that's got to be the dumbest excuse for bunking off I've heard in a long time.

Are you planning on buying anything straight away on the very off chance that Apple actually produce something new to sell today? If not, then missing out on education for this is ridiculous.

Most people here are either stuck at work (like me) or at home already having finished their working day.

As much as I loathe the site, could you not just have had Twitter message you in school? Seems ideal for this sort of purpose.

[buckyballs]

It was usually so that Jobs called Schiller (eg. on iChat), so i guess that this time it's gonna be the other way round. I think that's a perfect way to showcase the video conferencing on the iPhone with built in iSight camera.

Nailed it.

Maybe not on an iPhone, but if Shiller phoned Jobs, can you imagine a) the applause, and b) the overwhelmingly positive effect on Apple stock price?

If you're planning on buying some Apple stock, do it within the next 50 mins!

[Sambo110]

Will they have the main thing tonight, where they announce everything? So is it worth staying up that late too watch it? And the next few days will be showing everything off more to people who go there?

[Snowcat001]

What's the icon in the bottom right?

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/wwdc-keynote-2009-06-07_23-34-13-rm-eng.jpg

What's the green spherical logo on the left (it's also on the right but in purple)??

[Sekots]

New Quicktime logo

[guzhogi]

Yeah but, as the old saying goes, you can't polish a turd!

Wasn't it proven that you CAN polish a turd on an episode of Mythbusters? Anyways, yay WWDC! 2 of my coworkers are gonna be there.

[themoonisdown09]

What's the green spherical logo on the left (it's also on the right but in purple)??

The purple one is CoreAnimation.

[EagerDragon]

If the stores are down, then probably something new or updated is going to be sold. As WWDC is mainly for passing information to developers, something new or updated will be sold after the keynote.

[shady825]

What's the green spherical logo on the left (it's also on the right but in purple)??

Someone here on the forums has that green one as an avatar.... I just saw it this morning... (but no, i dont know what it is)

[rxshelbs]

It was usually so that Jobs called Schiller (eg. on iChat), so i guess that this time it's gonna be the other way round. I think that's a perfect way to showcase the video conferencing on the iPhone with built in iSight camera.

THAT WOULD BE PERFECT

[jmann]

Is there a live seed to watch this?

No sorry. Wait until a few hours after, and it will be posted on Apple's website.

[jbgh]

What's the green spherical logo on the left (it's also on the right but in purple)??

purple is core animation

[macjock]

3.0 released tonight?

Probably the middle of the night here
:(

[HLdan]

If the stores are down, then probably something new or updated is going to be sold. As WWDC is mainly for passing information to developers, something new or updated will be sold after the keynote.

WOW. Did you figure that out all on your own? Sorry, you kinda walked yourself into that sarcasm.

[PeteB]

Let's hope the live feed isn't hacked again like last time....

[kas23]

Nailed it.

Maybe not on an iPhone, but if Shiller phoned Jobs, can you imagine a) the applause, and b) the overwhelmingly positive effect on Apple stock price?

If you're planning on buying some Apple stock, do it within the next 50 mins!

+20 Internet circus points if this happens. As for the stock, doesn't Aapl stock usually go down after these keynotes?

[celtikmind]

Here, some real news why today is important... World's biggest fish are dying (http://edition.cnn.com/2009/TECH/science/06/08/danson.oceans/index.html)

Not that anyone would care about that though... Steve's health is much more important, right? :rolleyes:

[rtakman]

Actually, I believe you can.... Did anyone else see that Mythbusters? :p

Yes.. But it its still Windows..

[benflick]

3.0 released tonight?

Probably the middle of the night here
:(

Don't expect it.

[mcmlxix]

Setting: Video conference center in Redmond.

9:59 PDT: Developers! Developers! Developers!

10:01 PDT Copy! Copy! Copy!

[maxchains155]

maybe the date on the banner is the iPhone release date. I would kinda expect Apple to release Snow Leopard maybe after October 26th, to make 10.5 Leopard more than two years old.

If that's true... Why is it on the Snow Leopard banner?

[avigalante]

If you're planning on buying some Apple stock, do it within the next 50 mins!

Just what we need - investment advice from an internet rumor forum.

[buckyballs]

What's the green spherical logo on the left (it's also on the right but in purple)??

Core Video (been around since Tiger)

The purple one is Core Animation (been around since Leopard/also on iPhone)

[Eidorian]

New Quicktime logoThat's Quartz not Quicktime in that picture.

I'm off of work at 1 PM EDT. :D

[whistlerpro]

New Quicktime logo

http://cache.gizmodo.com/assets/wwdc2009/wwdc2009-23.jpg

Sorry to disappoint, that's the Quartz logo... I think.

[uaecasher]

finally Mac only (no iphone) rumor :)

[rtakman]

+20 Internet circus points if this happens. As for the stock, doesn't Aapl stock usually go down after these keynotes?

I think when the original iPhone was released it went up..

[samson080]

New iPhone on 06/19. Past two iPhones have been made available on Fridays...

[Quocy]

New Quicktime logo

http://cache.gizmodo.com/assets/wwdc2009/wwdc2009-23.jpg

definitely not, there was another poster with the real new quicktime logo which is silver.

[macjock]

Don't expect it.

OK , I'm a patient man ;)

Why is there nothing on the apple homepage about today?

[k2spitfire88]

I'm betting the overlap is caused by the banner designer randomly tossing the icons about to make it look like they "exploded" out from the center. Some of these are bound to overlap.

Sorry to be a killjoy. :D

My bet is Grand Central=Train station. So, it looks like a train of apps coming to and leaving the station. Makes sense to me. They are in a line, connected on a train, so they overlap

[pscoble]

Ack! My power choose the worst possible time to go out. At least I still have the iPhone. I'm super excited for both sl and 3.0 though. I really hope something is released today even though I really doubt it.

[Ugg]

Will they have the main thing tonight, where they announce everything? So is it worth staying up that late too watch it? And the next few days will be showing everything off more to people who go there?

It's hard to tell but the keynote usually lasts 1.5-2 hours. My guess is the major announcements will be made today. In past WWDCs, smaller announcements have been made later in the week.

[kas23]

WOW. Did you figure that out all on your own? Sorry, you kinda walked yourself into that sarcasm.

Correct, wwdc is not just an informational event for developers. It would unamerican for Apple not to try to sell something during this event.

[gibbz]

Here, some real news why today is important... World's biggest fish are dying (http://edition.cnn.com/2009/TECH/science/06/08/danson.oceans/index.html)

This is literally not the forum for that. Certainly there are more things important in life than Apple events. We are all here because we are enthusiasts. No harm in enjoying one's interests.

[buckyballs]

Sorry to disappoint, that's the Quartz logo... I think.

Not that one

This one (the one next to dashcode)

[Macminiintel]

If that's true... Why is it on the Snow Leopard banner?

erm maybe its just like a little implementation, you know like trickery. i know its a Snow Leopard banner, I'm just saying Apple might have added iPhone launch date onto the iCal icon, so it makes sense to people after the keynote. I have been a mac user 11 years everyone who is a mac user knows how secretive they are. If they have any banners saying "iPhone arriving what ever date, they'll be sheeted up, and the sheets unveiled after the keynote. I bet its like a sublinable message for the iPhone date

[hiimamac]

Wasn't it proven that you CAN polish a turd on an episode of Mythbusters? Anyways, yay WWDC! 2 of my coworkers are gonna be there.
Can someone for the love if The Good Lord above who helps anyone that'sasks, please tell me why we have no live streaming still??? Anyone have the spoiler free link?
Thanks. Hope many including me, are happy.

Godspeed.

[Spankey]

Two different banners with June 19th, one saying that "Threading Has Left The Station", leads me to believe that SL will at least be ready for pre-order by the 19th. Apple Store down has me thinking it will be available for pre-order today.

[puercaeli]

June 19 is not just on that particular banner
it seems to be recurring throughout the other banner

[starflyer]

Another one. This pretty much confirms it i think.

[bdkennedy1]

Next month is July. The icon says June 19th.

No. Apple has announced that Steve Jobs will return from medical leave at the end of this month. Not the middle of next month.

[hugodrax]

xmac!! About time!!

[Peace]

Another one. This pretty much confirms it i think.


That is fake.

[airlights]

I'm so excited.
I'm so excited.
I'm so scared.

/end channeling of Save By the Bell. <3

[Roessnakhan]

What's the green spherical logo on the left (it's also on the right but in purple)??

Core stuff (e.g. Core Animation).

Oops, already answered.

[Eidorian]

Another one. This pretty much confirms it i think.Wow, stop tempting me Apple. I have the money but I shouldn't.

[colourclassic]

Another one. This pretty much confirms it i think.

Haha yea..

[BornAgainMac]

Snow Leopard shipping this month would be a huge surprise. I already lowered my expectations to the winter of 2009.
[Edit]: Oh shoot. Fake.

[kas23]

Ack! My power choose the worst possible time to go out. At least I still have the iPhone. I'm super excited for both sl and 3.0 though. I really hope something is released today even though I really doubt it.

Don't worry, being the best thing that happened to mankind since penicillin, you can get updates/video via your iPhone. Remember, you get the full Internet experience in your hand.

[GeekLawyer]

Next month is July. The icon says June 19th.

You make a very good point. I would expect June 19 will be the ship-date for 10.6, Snow Leopard. It's not a date related to Steve Jobs' return from medical leave.

[maxchains155]

Not that one

This one (the one next to dashcode)

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/06/wwdc-keynote-2009-06-07_23-34-13-rm-eng.jpg

What's that under Dashcode in the photo?

[mathewr]

+20 Internet circus points if this happens. As for the stock, doesn't Aapl stock usually go down after these keynotes?


yes it does. usually because everyone really knows what to expect so the stock price already factors that in. if apple doesnt wow the investor with something greater than what was expected then it goes down.

[jmann]

I'm as excited for Snow Leopard as the new iPhone. I can't wait to upgrade! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for surprise new features. *crosses fingers*

[Sekots]

definitely not, there was another poster with the real new quicktime logo which is silver.

Blast! Gizmodo lied haha

[penguy]

Yeah but, as the old saying goes, you can't polish a turd!

Then you haven't watched Mythbusters!

[rugox]

no new iphone.

[iLoveMyApple]

I can't wait! I'm just afraid of dissapointment (spelling?).
We'll see!

[Aldo Ferrel]

Is my Birthday :D cool!

[rtakman]

Apple still allowing people to order iPhone 3G's is this normal?:confused:

[str1f3]

to my brethren, there may be a live video feed here (http://www.ustream.tv/channel/wwdc-2009-live-stream)

[hassoon]

hey arn, what do you mean by Apple's online stores are down ? :) thanks ! :)

[tiguk]

no new iphone.

So sure?

[jmann]

hey arn, what do you mean by Apple's online stores are down ? :) thanks ! :)

As in they are DOWN (not working, no functioning, temporarily disabled). They are putting new stuff online, and will open it up after the keynote ends.

That literally depressed the hell out of me. Great. :(

[macnerd77]

the june 19th date is significant. Because the default date for ical is in july.
So i believe that jun 19th is the launch of snow leopard. :apple:

[html]

What's the green spherical logo on the left (it's also on the right but in purple)??

A note to everyone asking these questions: What are you, daft? This is a developer's conference. For people who claim to be experts on everything mac, you obviously haven't installed the xcode tools or ever so much as thought the letters API. That is the "core" logo. As in Core Image, Core Animation, etc. The icons that people say look like appleworks are things in the xcode tools.

[shady825]

Apple still allowing people to order iPhone 3G's is this normal?:confused:

I would assume its normal.... Apple doesnt care if you buy the new iPhone or old iPhone.... Its all money in Apple's pocket!

[Compile 'em all]

hey arn, what do you mean by Apple's online stores are down ? :) thanks ! :)

We have a winner!

ahahaha.

[mikeytwice]

I think when the original iPhone was released it went up..

It went up pretty substantially after the initial iPhone announcement, but it dropped after last WWDC, I think.

[grue]

MacBook Pro 17" goes to 2.8Ghz as base speed, 500GB HDD

MC226 is glossy
MC227 antiglare

MacBook air becomes 1.86 and 2.13… MC233 and MC234 respectively.

You heard it here first.

[MikeDTyke]

I wonder if it`d be fair to assume that these technologies/applications are now grand central aware????

Seems strange to have a banner declaring grand central is great and all and then have all these other logos around it. I think it`s well enough known that quicktime/xcode will benefit, but finder, iCal, iChat, Safari, Core Data & iSync???

Can`t make out the rest as the picture is a bit fuzzy.

If these all get a grand central snappy(tm) i will be well chuffed, well certainly finder will make me drool. :D

[FF_productions]

Here we go..exciting times coming..

[swindmill]

I would assume its normal.... Apple doesnt care if you buy the new iPhone or old iPhone.... Its all money in Apple's pocket!

Except that I believe their replacement policy would allow recent purchasers to exchange the product.

Nearly there!!! My freind bought a MacBook yesterday!!! Hows that for bad timing?

[fpnc]

Not trying to be a nay-sayer, just being somewhat bold (against prevailing opinion/rumor). My predictions for WWDC:

1.) Apple will review the last year's accomplishments.
2.) Apple will discuss Snow Leopard.
3.) Apple will discuss the iPhone 3.0 OS and give a few demos of same.
4.) Apple will announce and demo some new iTunes App Store features.
5.) That is all folks...

Thus, there will be no introduction or demo of new hardware. No intro or demo of the 3rd generation iPhone (that will have to wait until Steve Jobs makes his return in another month or so). No new iPod touch (that will likely be seen this fall). No new Macs. No new Apple TV. And certainly no totally new products (tablet, netbook, etc.).

However, Apple will likely do some modest feature or price updates on the unibody MacBooks. Whether this happens today, or tomorrow, or sometime in the next few weeks I'm not certain.

[mikerudolph22]

Not everyone is a developer there and neither are all the people on MR. I'm just an enthousiast and like to know more about the upcoming release of snow leopard and the iphone. Mainly the stuff consumers will eventually end up using and not how to produce thowse things using dev tools.

Apparently the fact that you have installed the xcode tools makes you feel superior to other people here, that's sad man, really sad...

Seriously, I just want the live feed. Do you feel cool lecturing people on the internet? Let us enjoy the event without e-thugs trying to act tough and discipline people.

Really, it's a fun event. Just enjoy it like I will be. :)

June 19th = SJ back?

[orangeillini14]

Should we be expecting any surprises? I don't even know! Haha, can't wait though... I hope they do everything right this time. ;)

So i believe that jun 19th is the launch of snow leopard. :apple:

I don't think so I'm a developer and the last seed update was very buggy , I don't think it will be ready till aug/sept

[miyusa]

good pickup

so i guess at least one new "product"

Here's to hoping! :apple:

After the keynote, the laymen will demand developers make applications 64-bit compliant; use Grand Central, OpenCL, etc.

I've already seen an arrogant disposition in an open source community forum by one individual who demanded the project incorporate OpenCL. He was absolutely adamant that the speed increases would be dramatic, despite tests which showed otherwise. It was quite shocking, to say the least. His attitude displayed arrogance, but he did not seem like a troll.

I was reminded of the demands for a Cocoa-based Finder and the attacks against Adobe for not porting their suite to Cocoa.

Apple To spin off computer division.

Apple will be spinning off the computer divison into a new company
called NeXT Computer Inc. This transition will allow Apple Inc. to
concentrate on consumer electronics. The spinoff which will be named
NeXT Computers Inc will be selling the existing line up of desktops
and laptops, they will sport a new black color across the board, the
Mac Pro for example will be black anodized aluminum and will sport a
NeXT logo on the panels in the shape of a isometric cube. Owners of
AAPL stock will receive 1.5 shares of NEXI(new ticker symbol) for
every share of AAPL held. Rumor has it that Ross Perot is interested
in buying a large number of shares in the new NeXT Computer Inc.

[Snowcat001]

I've been thinking if there would be a CS5 demo but I think its a little too soon.

I'm afraid we'll have to wait a year (maybe two) to get a full blown CS5 64bit mac version. :(
