American company , so everything on American time.
PDT = Plan De Time (to watch this)
The "de" is in reference to Dr. Dre and rapping.
There are more meanings, one is
Pacific Daylight Time, as opposed to
PNT (Night time)
TNT and so on.
Dansix has fewer original thoughts than his fantasy version of Apple. Everything he says has been said before at least 1,000 times.
How insightful was your post... You deserve to be our leader...
NOT!
What a waste of storage space it was, and also a waste of time for those who read it.----------
Well, I guess some kids are already on summer vacation, and come to kill time in the forums posting crap.
In a way that's good... they could be scratching our cars or painting graffiti instead. The only damage they cause here is wasting the Forum Mods and Real Users' time.

Sorry to disappoint you but most likely we will only get a taste of these two, and have to wait until October for their actual release (something I really dislike but have to live with).
I means you will be able to view it on your browser as it happens. No longer need to wait hours or days to view it online.
Apple doesn't do "low cost" anything anymore. They learned their lessons back in the late '90s, I hope. With all the turnover, I hope they haven't forgotten.
A8 Mac Mini
Mac mini are getting too powerful for apple's comfort. I predict an A8 Mac mini. Forces mid range users to iMac and entry level Mac Pro. Note: I am planning to buy a top end Mac Mini as soon as form factor is updated so I don't support this change. Low end users won't care though if simple apps are updated. My wife uses nothing but built in apps and she would never notice.

Too bad I'm unable to watch it live. But I think it was uploaded to iTunes pretty fast last year, so I hope I can watch it that evening when I get home.
I'm sure Apple would have its reasons just like in the past. I bought into those b/c I personally saw the logic. But I don't here. If Apple dumped Intel I'd buy the last Intel Mac & be happy until it became unusable. By that time maybe iPads would be the new desktop.
Well, it's an event that takes in San Francisco, CA so Pacific time would follow (and right now US is observing Daylight Saving Time, so Pacific time is on Pacific Daylight Time or PDT vs. Pacific Standard Time which is PST).

What does that mean to you; what's the difference?
Why not create an Intel CPU/GPU for the iPad/iPhone, and , migrate iOS to Intel? Either you rewrite OSX to ARM or you rewrite iOS to Intel, and Intel is the fastest. Or could that make too much opportunity to Hackintosh iOS devices?

My wish list:
iOS 8: A slightly toned down flat design. Would like an API for Siri, that rumored system to connect to home automation devices, better weather in notification center, 3rd party widget support for notification center (think ESPN scores, ticker, etc), customizable control center buttons, split-screen multitasking for iPad, multi-user support for iPad, better smart watch integration, a better system to share and store files between apps, improved maps data (including POI and local mapping such as college campuses like Google does) and 3D city support vastly expanded with street view, a task-based email layout option so I can check things off and get reminders based on emails, keyboard API so that alternative keyboards can be installed like Swype, a built-in font manager so we don't have to use 3rd party apps to do this, not a big one but the ability for developers to design and sell live, moving wallpapers similar to the one style that Apple has included with iOS 7, ability to invite users to share reminders lists without having to do it from the web or Mac, do not disturb settings that allow settings by day so that on the weekend I can get alerts later in the day, speed up the animations slightly again, better password management built-in, ability to have folders inside folders, sync notification popups between iOS and Mac OS, AirDrop between iOS and Mac devices, ability to change defaults for apps like Safari, Calendar, Mail, etc, and lastly the ability to use my iPhone as a walletbut that may wait until a hardware update unless they can do it with iBeacons.
Hardware: 12" Retina MacBook Air, 4K Thunderbolt 2 Display, 4K iMac, 802.11ac Airport Express (small one only has N), updated Apple TV with mic for Siri in the living room and it's own App Store.
iCloud: More storage space, ability to use iCloud like Dropbox to store and access files, added server capacity for faster speed as well as improved reliability and syncing, ability to back up photos to Time Capsule if they won't give us unlimited space, paid iTunes streaming music packages that offer a premium, customizable experience similar to Rdio or Spotify and integrated with Siri ("Like this song and add it to playlist X."), ability to share a Photostream using a password
NO BEATS ANYTHING.
I imagine we would be lucky to get half of these thingsotherwise what would they show next year and the year after?
I wish there was a master list of requested iOS feature additions sorted by how many votes that feature request has received.
Nice List. I want
1. Server access to work like it does on my ex Win 7 laptop, and new rMBP, i.e. they se everything shared, my iPad doesn't, I have to make it work. Tks Filebrowser
2. Hardware Acceleration for non support video formats. Again, some of that can be made to work, but WTF? The iPad is a consumption device and these two cutdown functions are consumption based functions. No wonder many use a Surface Pro then their iPad, cos it works like a mini Windows or Mac
Exactly, I'm already starting to wear my pants half-way down my butt and I'm turning the bass up too high on everything I'm listing to.
Are you being intentionally dense or are you missing the joke in there?
I believe those two were jokingly speculating on the choice of the word "watch" as a teaser that the iWatch will be debuted at WWDC.
Mountain Lion wasn't awful, but maybe that's just by comparison to Lion. But I agree, I think Mavericks will be another one of those OS's that hang around for a long time like Snow Leopard before it. Snow Leopard was the most polished OS X up to that point, and Mavericks was the most polished OS X post-SL. Both focused on a lot of internal changes instead of a lot of flashy features. Both releases were about making the best OS Apple possibly could, technologically.
I really think, either with this next computer OS or the one after that, Apple is going to make some radical shifts, like they did from OS 9 to OS X. They're going to want to rethink their assumptions about what a modern operating system needs to look like, and build something new from the ground up. Think about what computers were like 15 years ago. People had one computer, not a computer and a bunch of internet connected mobile devices. There was no "cloud". Nobody was using SSDs and HDDs were tiny. Processors were 32 bit and a fraction of the speed, not to mention Macs were all PPC. Internet speeds were much too slow to stream HD video or download large files. Pixels were huge.
I don't see Apple ever abandoning UNIX, but I do think they might abandon their UI and significant parts of the inner workings of OS X. Apple's never been shy about dropping support for old software, and while they've done a fantastic job patching OS X into something very different from what it used to be, it still has relics left over from a very different time. The file system is particularly old. Wouldn't it be nice to start over fresh?
So what I'm hoping for most at WWDC, is a preview of OS 11. I want to see Tim Cook on stage and say "here's what we've been working on secretly for the last couple years, and in about six months we'll release a developer preview with a full release a year after that. Get ready, because OS X is the new Classic. In the meantime, here's our swan song to OS X, 10.10. It's really great and we'll be supporting it for the next three years. Then new hardware will be OS 11 only and old OS X software will run in Classic Mode."
Clearly missing the joke, assuming there was one somewhere in there to begin with.
