Covered Banner at WWDC in Moscone West

MacRumors · 03:08 PM

On the second floor of Moscone West, there appears to be at least one banner that's shrouded in black cloth:

No one is allowed above the first floor of Moscone West until the keynote, so no closer shots could be taken.

Meanwhile, a photo "loot" they are giving away at WWDC primarily shows a T-shirt that reads Power to the programmers.

WWDC kicks off on Monday, June 11th at 10am Pacific. We will be providing live converage at MacRumorsLive. SMS and "spoiler free" coverage also available.

Right On !! First covered banner..Woohoo!!

Mac-Addict · Jun 10, 2007, 03:05 PM

Oh cool! Im guessing its a really special thing if it needs covering up that much!

nickspohn · Jun 10, 2007, 03:05 PM

Oh the suspense...

dartzorichalcos · Jun 10, 2007, 03:06 PM

I am predicting the covered banner either shows the new GUI of Leopard or shows an ultraportable.

JonHimself · Jun 10, 2007, 03:07 PM

I can't wait until this time tomorro when we can all bitch and complain about how we're disappointed that they didn't release <insert dream product here>. Still can't wait to hear whatever annoucements they do have though.

Peace · Jun 10, 2007, 03:07 PM

Actually there should be several other covered banners up there.

Southernboy · Jun 10, 2007, 03:07 PM

I predict... oh forget it

Mgkwho · Jun 10, 2007, 03:12 PM

...so there's only one covered banner? Out of how many total?

It seems as if there should be more than one if this is an event announcing many top-secret things.

Not so much. Standard procedure. It could be a giant banner stating "OSX 10.4. - it's old news", and they'd still cover and station guards around it.

Anything worth hiding is worth finding!

Atleast that is my hope less the 22Hrs until it starts!

Yvan256 · Jun 10, 2007, 03:15 PM

I predict "new stuff".

MacsRgr8 · Jun 10, 2007, 03:16 PM

Isn't this gr8?!

What other idiots can be pumped by a banner which is covered.

Just one more day....

rendezvouscp · Jun 10, 2007, 03:16 PM

The covered banners are always so exciting! I hope it's not disappointing.

Maybe it's a photo of a beautiful new iMAC design I've been waiting for. Ehh, probably not.

I can still hope, though.

twoodcc · Jun 10, 2007, 03:17 PM

i hope it's good! less than 24 hours now!

You heard it here first ( and probably last )

Special guests :

Schmidt from Google
McCartney from The Beatles
New guy from M$ Mac Business Unit

That !Yahoo guy.

The black curtain is covering up a black board with "ZFS" in the center of the universe.

Zwhaler · Jun 10, 2007, 03:18 PM

iMac or Ultraportable. Id bet but this is the internet

xckid87 · Jun 10, 2007, 03:20 PM

It is either the new touch screen 6th generation iPod or the all new iMac.

Um...the "D" in "WWDC" stands for Developers. Unless the iMac becomes a professional offering you won't see it tomorrow. Unless Apple announces SDK or mentions developer opportunities for iPhone (or iPod) you won't see it tomorrow.

Mid-late July = new iMacs
early September = iPod refresh

I really do not think they are going to announce any new hardware. I think it is going to be strictly Mac OS X Leopard and maybe .Mac

And MAYBE, hopefully new Cinema Displays with built-in iSight and prices that are able the compete with Dell.

They fired Roz Ho? Putting her on stage was like bashing Microsoft real good. Hope the new guy is better, I wouldn't mind Ballmer, at least he's funny.
