Oh my god, Apple is announcing Bane at WWDC!!
Are those tiny colorful Apple TVs?
....love the way everyone likes to analyze the logo for hidden meanings on what to expect!!!
Apple started the patent war to knock down Samsung/Android, not because Samsung "stole" some ideas.Google for the meaning behind what Picasso said. Picasso didn't mean he STOLE other's paintings, he STOLE other ideas and re-invented them himself.
Of course, you'll just continually apply the quote to suit your needs, I understand.
iOS 7 is much more of a stolen product.
Just your opinion, and totally wrong.
Google was in the patent war game quite early, trying to sue Microsoft for four billion dollars for some h.264 related patents (which lucky enough ended up with Google losing money). For some reason, Google has that goal to destroy h.264 and replace it with a non-standard video codec that Google owns, except it doesn't work.
Samsung was in the patent war, trying to sue everyone for SRAND patents. In the EU, their behaviour led to them being threatened with a $13 billion fine for anti-competitive behaviour.
Samsung didn't "steal", they stole. No quotation marks. Feel free to tell us what iOS 7 has been stealing. Until you are doing so, you are talking nonsense.
First, taking patented "ideas". Second, I can't see what Samsung has ever improved.
....err - they're just squares!! Nothing more, nothing less....!!!
....its just an effect!! Don't read too much into it!!!
....now there's a thought!!! The fact that the logo could actually mean ONLY, exactly what it shows - that Apple is scheduling a WWDC in June!!!!
Don't study the image too hard. A lot of people thought the 2013 invite suggested an Apple TV refresh or App Store because of the icon shapes, but in the end the image meant nothing.
Actually, the only real hint was the font. But Apple has embraced that style in a lot of areas outside of iOS 7, so it doesn't really count.
Edit: It's questionable if the transparency effect actually was a hint. It may have just looked cool.

For one, 'Slide to unlock' was stolen by Samsung. It's not in Google's Android. It was specifically added by Samsung to copy Apple.
Name one thing Apple has stolen from Samsung.
You'd think that have 10.9.2, 10.8.4, etc would have made that clear... But noooooo...
Touchwiz-style unlock is nothing like Apple's.
Apple has made it pretty clear they are targeting Android in general, not just Samsung.
Samsung's TouchWiz never looked much like classic iOS, while iOS 7 took a lot from stock Android and Windows Phone designs.

That is an innovation on how to charge your phone, not that fucc... wireless charging or whatever is now

If the logo is any indication of what we will see at WWDC14, I think the people betting on an Apple TV SDK with support for gaming and an Apple TV App Store might be right. That certainly aligns with rumors. (This is a rumors site, so no complaining about speculating on rumors, please! lol)
Obviously, we will see the future of iOS and OS X, too... and possibly some hardware announcements as well. Maybe we will finally get an introduction or at least some hints of those new product categories Tim is always going on about!
To me
- the LANGUAGE says wearables
- the IMAGERY says Apple TV (and so presumably an SDK)
- the COLORS say iOS7 --- but we've had that, so I assume that means "OSX appearance overhaul to match iOS where it makes sense"
As other folks point out, WWDC is for developers, so the point of showing off OSX 1010 is not to get feedback from amateur graphics designers (god knows I anticipate a whole new round of the crap we went through with iOS7, including all the hysterical "I will never buy an Apple product again", "I will personally torture and kill Jony Ives" and the rest of it).
The more important issue is that I imagine Apple finally has ready a new UI framework that adopts the best ideas from the iOS framework, basically Cocoa++, structured in a way that can make much better use of GPUs and multiple CPUs. THAT is the part that matters for developers --- the new visuals are just the "ooh and agh" part of it.
(And, one hopes, at the same time Apple will announce "Carbon goes away in OSX 1011. We only have the energy to support two UI frameworks at a time.
You've had fifteen fscking years to get off it. Move your asses.")
After all the Samsung hate for stealing Apple's ideas, does no one take issue with the last sentence.. if its true, it's hypocrisy.At its finest.. it's its false, burn the heathen....
Apple wrote something like this:
Does this mean that if I got selected I will have the right to purchase a ticket or I will have to buy a ticket?

of course you won't be forced to buy a ticket. However I suspect anyone whose name comes up in the lottery and then doesn't buy one might not expect to come up in lotteries in future years.
Macbook air - since air, everyone followed apples way (lagged several years)
Iphone - changed entire industry
Ipad - introduced new category and started post pc era
Mb pro retina - introduced ultra hd displays to general public
3 major gamechangers, 1 big tech leap - not enough? Name similar gamechangers from samsung/microsoft/google/whoever...
Looking at the announcement graphic, I can see how people are thinking Apple TV SDK.
I think (and hope) that the squares represent app icons and that the different sized mean that iOS 8 (and OS X) is 100% resolution independent to be able to work on different screen sizes and resolutions.

I doubt it. Those colours are from the original Apple logo. A tacky gradient would have better reflected the new app redesign.
This is a good example of why we shouldn't read into the invites. Let's just wait until the convention centre decorations are put up.
