Agreed! Hopefully this will calm down the people flaming Tim Cook for not being able to be innovative. I'm not sure when I can remember Jobs doing a keynote this fulfilled with amazing stuff, especially involving the Mac and iOS.
Got a tip for us?

So because apple didn't do a tiny 100 MHZ update you're gonna subject yourself to a dell? Lol.
Good bye Objective C, I always disliked you.
As a programmer I for one have zero problem learning Swift (and from a quick glance looks pretty easy to catch on too). Programmers should already know and be ready to move onto a different language and technology.
I for one welcome Swift and will not be one bit sad if I never had to use Objective C again.

Yes, I am a developer. I am admittedly flip-flopping about this issue. At first I was like "Oh- yea" and then as I got thinking about it I am wondering if these closed-programming tools will make it even more of a forced "which platform are you going to support?" issue, which could be a problem at some point, as the Android APP store becomes more and more of a "player". I would prefer that the two platforms become easier to cross-compile, not unquestionably less.
I am hoping Apple is making the right move. I don't pretend to have the answers. No doubt it's a very ballsy move by Apple! Time will tell.
Cheers,

Ummm I am blown away by Swift! I can go on my lunch break now to read the first chapter of the Swift book!
I am a JS developer myself. It appears Apple is gunning for HTML, CSS, Javascript and C, C++, Java all in one big swoop!
Ballsy move. I prefer more open platforms but the user experience of using an app is so much better in some ways but finding information is better via the browser. I see they added some features to somewhat make discovery not as big of an issue but its still not enough.

Wall Street hated it. Not sure why but that's how it goes. I thought they realized there would be no new hardware products being announced.
Because all Wall Street cares about is new hardware. To them that's all Apple is - a company that makes gadgets people buy, and Apple didn't announce any new fancy gadgets today. Of course what they don't get is what Apple announced today will be huge for hardware in the fall and beyond. And a lot of the stuff they announced today could some users who left back to iOS. Especially with 3rd party keyboards, inter-app communication and interactive notifications.
My Mac with that GPU started crashing and even rebooting itself, GPU KP's all over the place, to it to the Genius Bar, they tested and confirmed I had the faulty Nvidia 330M GPU that was in the news and they replaced my motherboard in 2 hours totally free of charge, because it was faulty at the point of sale in 2010 than they had to replace it for free. And that was this year when this was done.
I couldn't see the whole thing. I'm super excited about having swype keyboard return to my life - and widgets as well... but was there any mention of global sound equalization?
There are some other reputable sources, like Amazon Appstore, and the vendor's website sometimes, like Spotify.
That's what I use for my BlackBerry, which doesn't have Play.
It sucks when vendors only distribute their stuff through Play.
Sign up for the beta program of OS X Yosemite.
Only the first 1m people will be able to install Yosemite...

When Jobs introduced the first iPhone. That kind of keynote has never been achieved ever since.
It seems real to me but I could be wrong, did they not mention on the presentation that it would be an option?
Be careful and don't run it on production machines though. It is a BETA. It will be buggy!
i also went to the genius bar in april 2014. failed the video systems test. wanted $310 to replace logic board. i can't afford it.
i get random KP's once every 2 weeks doing casual things. but, i can't use it at all to run FCPX or Motion 5, for example b/c it's an instant crash.
not sure.
my "logic" tells me that, if the photos is delayed as long as 10.10, then likely it's heavily integrated into the core code of the operating system in some way, rather than just an Application that sits on top.
there are benefits to doing this way. it makes it more heavily integrated with the operating system that allows you to in thoery give the OS control over the photos and such.
For example:
in an "app based" photo app, that is stand alone and not heavily integrated. If you wanted to access the photos from a 3rd party, Either that photo app would need to have some open hook for that 3rd party program. It could be slower, or harder to program for (i dont know, I dont program)
Integrating it into the OS could mean that, 3rd party applications only ever have to ask the Operating System through an standardized APK to access the data within the other App, needing no extra hooks into the photo app for access to the photos.
Downside however is your photo's program is bound to the operating system. Which generally means slower updates and it's not as easily replacable.
in Android (FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES ONLY, i AM NOT judging which one is better, this is objective comparison only). Having photos as an App rather than heavily integrated OS feature means that you can adjust the photos app on it's own and distribute it via App store quicker, without th eneed to make additional OS level updates.
But this could explain why the new photos won't come till 10.10 and can't just be added on top of Mavericks
However, this is just my speculation, Apple might have a different reason.
Except malware was available on the play store too. So yeah, a little hard.
Love the new SMS
The new SMS feature on the Mac (FOR ME) was worth the whole keynote. One thing I have always gotten frustrated with is when some of my friends don't have an iPhone I can't text them from my iMac or iPad. I always have to pick up the iPhone to do it. All changed now. THANK YOU APPLE!!!

In iOS 7 when you edit a picture it saves that revised version. And if go back into that revised picture there's an option to revert back to the original. I guessing that feature will be the same in iOS 8.
