The way I see it, the new Apple TV will become the center of our new lives at home, allowing for new and experimental ways to watch tv as well as a completely new and integrated experience with regards to home automation. Definitely also think we'll see incredible optimization for iOS and OS X.
Got a tip for us?

. . . I actually haven't been clamoring for a 3D interface, either. In fact, I really love the aesthetic of Yosemite & iOS9. At the same time, though, it seems to me that making the interface a "touch-based" experience a la the Taptic Engine would mean giving some kind of visual "physicality" to objects on a screen. I don't mean skeuomorphism by that – instead, I mean giving a user the ability to "touch" things on a screen and move them around in more than 2 dimensions.
It would especially make sense to me if we're talking about controlling many Homekit-controlled devices from an iPad, phone, Macbook, etc.
And yes, you're right to point out that the 3D spatial tech is already there. The other example I could mention is Parallax, which to me certainly indicates that 3D spatial presentation is a significant part of the design team's thinking.
HomeKit with Apple TV Epicenter! Radiating out to all the devices! Agree center looks like Apple TV shape
Hummm... has to be Apple TV in the center with 8 points of interaction on the outside.
1. iPhone
2. iPad
3. Mac
4. Apple Watch
5. Home Kit
6. Health Kit
7. Content (Music/TV/Movies/Internet)
8. Carplay
So with the new epicenter, you'll never need to leave your couch! Wait... my Apple Watch says I need to move and Siri is calling me lazy.
Oh wait... crap... I forgot Apple Pay... has to be in there somewhere????

Keep in mind that in order to receive the scholarship, the app must completely be written in Swift: http://www.slashgear.com/for-scholarship-students-at-wwdc-swift-is-mandatory-14378923/
I actually wouldn't imagine they'd change the aesthetic of the two operating systems that much, either (in fact, I hope not because I really like how both look). I just mean to say that they'd be taking what they currently have and "spatializing" it with a layered, possibly parallax-intuitive presentation.
And you're right, I hadn't thought of the Time Machine interface (I haven't had any major crashes so there's been no need to use it, knock on wood) but to me, that and other examples I pointed out in another response underscore that putting things into a 3D space is something that Apple's UI team continues to explore.
Yes. It's experience. Great to put on a resume. Anyone in the IT field loves that stuff.
Except that Mavericks was anything but stable for many and full of countless new bugs for most. Snow Leopard it was not...
That seems to be the general play book.
Shocking isn't it.
I don't think it will be minor.
You are making mountains out of mole hills here. Refer to a device by its root name and you are all set. In a discussion about Mac OS 10.10 call it Yosemite.
Performance is a must but they also have near term issues with things like HFS+ that really requires a complete overhaul of the file system. In a sense I hope the focus a lot of effort on internals to bump up performance.
Well that might be interesting, I don't own one right now so I can't claim a strong interest. The device might be more interesting if they opened it up a bit.
Well except for an open AppleTV I expect it to happen.
The picture means that this is the earliest time that I can receive my Apple Watch.
Or its just the typical iOS App icon shape - Circles for the
Watch and OS X and Squares with round edges for iOS Rounded Rectangles are TV Apps currently, and I don't see any of those in the artwork...unfortunately. Don't think we've got a hidden meaning here...

I dont know but I am not really excited about this WWDX.
Dont expect anything from iOs odr OS X except more stability.

Random Selection
Sold out doesn't really exist here. No one should know if they get a ticket until after "April 20th at 5pm PT" when the draw occurs.
By the way, this random selection makes me feel uneasy for some reason.

MR, you forgot to put randomly selected in quotes. Does anyone really believe that Apple chooses the developers that will attend WWDC at random? Apple doesn't have a history of doing anything at random.
