Pun intended?



What in person accusations? And for the record, he's not smart. I saw an interview with him by Meredith Viera right around the time Vista was released. And she was asking the questions one might expect, i.e., why should the average user want to upgrade, what's the price, what about the Get A Mac ads, etc. And his answers were pretty defensive and made him look stupid. He actually lied when she asked how much it costs. He said the users upgrading to Vista will find that it is 'under $100'. Okay, so the Vista Home Basic version is $99.99... And that's the cheapest version. He didn't specify which version, he just said it costs under $100 to upgrade.

Of course he is not smart; he was lucky to be born in a golden cradle...very few inventions, lots of copying, lots of market bullying...as for interviews, he is as dumb as Beavis and Butthead together; I'd rather see Monkey Ballmer having a stupid go at SJ...this would be fun indeed.

We are indeed fortunate that we have your comments to enlighten us and spur the conversation, then.

On the iPhone, I think that its far most likely that June 11 will see the announcement of the GA date, at which point the ATT stores will be free to unveil banners carrying the same information. And as for WWDC, I'm really looking forward to the new feature set being announced.

And I'd say that there's a 5% chance of iPhones being distributed to all the developers at the conference.

EXACTLY my thoughts. I'm surprised that the rest of this forum isn't all over this. This is the real news. We all know that we'll get a nice taste of Apple at WWDC, and the iPhone will be here very soon, no matter how many or few weeks or days we have to wait, but this...THIS could get dirty.

Any bets on Gates' comeback to the IN PERSON accusations? If he's smart, he'll respond with "Linux did it first" to everything.

I don't care what Bill Gates has to say.

Jobs: thanks for coming....i hope this makes you all excited for our Leopard release and also see why we wanted to clean it up for a few more months.....oh and starting in about 15 minutes ATT and Apple stores will start taking pre-orders of the iphone. Thanks again for coming.

Some people here would disagree, however I think that Apple needs an answer for the MS Home Server, so a mini tower may be in the cards. Running a 5 license OSX server.

The new AirPort Extreme already serves some of that function via the AirPort Disk feature. From the M$ website:

"Windows Home Server helps families with multiple PCs easily connect their digital experiences, providing a reliable and familiar way to store, access, share, and automatically protect treasured digital images, music, video, and personal documents."

Leopard will have Time Machine to do automatic backups. AirDisk allows for networked storage.

I agree. Outside of allowing 3rd party development, the iPhone is completely irrelevant to WWDC. Honestly, it's probable that he won't even say the word 'iPhone' once throughout the course of his keynote. The iPhone has nothing to do with software development.

wtf?!?!? no. there are more than software developers attending WWDC - that's why it's called WWDC instead of WWSDC.

BTW there's at least one WWDC session regarding web development for the iPhone.

I'm pretty sure it's just software...? What kind of developers are you thinking of? I watched a keynote from one of the previous WWDC's and it was all about the software...
 
Steve's gift..

It would be great if Steve gifts an iPhone to Bill Gates at the wednsday interview..

Bill gates will say:
"we are going to introduce multi-touch (or whatever they call it..)"
and Steve:
Oh here is a gift for you... multitouch... you're gonna like it!!"

well, that's a keynote...I'm talking about the rest of the conference. the next two biggest groups I can think of are all the web developers and sysadmins.

Hell, there's even sessions on creating podcasts and one called "fundamentals of digital video" side by side with objc 2.0 and rubycocoa and the rather amusing "Mac OS X Administration for Windows Admins Lab".

"Some" is the operative word.... WHS does quite a bit more, including letting one use selective replication of important data (think of setting RAID-1 on a per-file or per-directory basis).
