Maybe Tim Cook will let us know that he cannot attend this year because it conflicts with some magazine interview. He would be great for Vanity Fair. Hint, hint.
Got a tip for us?

They design the images they use, but the emoji themselves are dictated by Unicode Consortium.
Be sure to check out the gorgeous animation on Apple's page: https://developer.apple.com/wwdc/
That building is most likely used much more than you think it is, there was a shareholder meeting not long ago, and it will be a lot more for internal use.
Reminds me of those (good) times you could change/hack most of the UI elements, and then there was Iconbox and an UI changing App I can't recall the name of, or was it shapeshifter!?
I think this means a new design language is going to be unveiled at WWDC. More strictly enforced like Aqua was.
This reminds me a lot of Microsofts Fluent. I don't really care if it does, I hope they reverse the flatness somewhat with this crystalline UI.
Unicode adds them. Apple, Samsung, Google, Microsoft, etc each add their own design but they have to first be defined by Unicode. People seem to think Apple can simply add a monkey standing on its head. They can't unless Unicode votes to add such an emoji within the standard.
I'd love to see a blend between the flat design and skeuomorphism. It would look absolutely gorgeous on those new screens. Really digging this image.
Would you like the keyboard to last longer than the warranty?
You know, that's not a bad idea. A new OS signalling a new start & a new platform (Marzipan)
I know, right? The last few even
I remember using Kaleidoscope a bit in the pre-OS X days (I'm old). Also used CandyBar a bit to replace system icons.
This is as skeuomorphic as anything Forstall's ever done. Just using different materials:
Looks awesome – skeuormophism is back, baby!
Seems like I am old too, although I barely remember Kaleidoscope, started using Macs on OS 9.X.X (Think 9.1)
If you go to the full picture, on the developer site, can see more of the graphic. Something that stands out to me?
Is the floating round balls that have the X - and <> in them. Same as the Red, Yellow, Green flat circles in upper left of open windows of applications. So, I'm thinking OS X interface in some sort of Iron Man virtual touch screen computer
I’ve just checked it out. It looks exactly like the Aqua buttons before they flattened everything. The only problem is they only flattened the OS three years ago and I can’t see them going backwards or returning to the old look which leads me to believe this is just fancy artwork and doesn’t indicate any return to 3D/skeumorphic design. It’s a shame if it doesn’t because I vastly preferred it back then, then again given the above image this would be misleading to people expecting a similar design change to the image they chose. Why would they choose 3D looking artwork when they’re all about flat design these days? So maybe their software will have some form of depth towards it. I really hope so but I won’t get my hopes up.
Yes. Durability is value to me.
I intended my post to mean the spec sheet. I don't care if it has a high res screen or the fastest HD.
What does this mean? The shared framework thing for apps? Or something different?
