RoughlyDrafted has posted the first photographs of banners that have been setup at Moscone West in San Francisco for WWDC 2007.

• Outside Moscone West
• Leopard: Rocket fuel for your apps baner
• Large X / Time Machine banner
• Expand your universe banner

WWDC 2007 kicks off on Monday, June 11, 2007. Full details about Leopard are expected to be released at the keynote speech to be given by Steve Jobs.

MacRumors will be providing live text and photo coverage of the keynote speech at MacRumorsLive. No live video feed will be available during keynote, but Apple typically posts the keynote in Quicktime a few hours after the end of the event.

We will also setup a "spoiler free" page (as we did for MWSF 2007) for individuals who wish to watch the keynote (after the fact) without any prior knowledge of the events.

Now begins the never ending four days wait for Leopard revelation! Eternity! Can't wait! How can I fast forward?!
 
It can not be here fast enough

I am counting the days and can hardly wait... I am very curious to see the so called hidden(top secret) features. HOw about any of you?

My fear is they will be un-impressive an underwhelming. I have guarded my expecations as to not be to disappointed.
 
Never mind what is in front of your face... look to your left and way in the distance and you'll see a banner saying "the bold new look of iMac"....
 
And it begins! :D I love seeing the pre-expo photos and disecting everything. There isn't much to disect from these photos, but hopefully something mysterious will come up.
 
Common ppl!!!!

Start zooming in the Universe picture and start naming the applications that are flying around??!!!! Have we seen them all before?!

(such a good time last year)

I love wwdc :D :D
 
Features?

Apple has been adopting a lot of sun technology lately (ZFS, DTrace) i wonder if "Expand Your Universe" is a hint at Apple's implementation of Sun's 3d desktop (looking glass).
 
i think this lends some credibility to the idea that the UI might get a makeover, being made black.
 
I don't necessarily expect hardware--that would be fun, but this is about Leopard. I expect new hardware will follow after WWDC. A week, a month, however long. I want a subnotebook and will be delighted if that surprise comes, but my hopes are not up.

Thanks for the spoiler-free page, arn. I never have the willpower to wait, but that day will be busy for me, so for once I may :)

I hope they are not going to keep that ugly Expose icon. (The one in the Developer Previews.)
 
i really like the "Expand Your Universe" banner... it's cute...

but i don't see any "Bold New Look Of iMac"... are you joking? this is not a joking matter! *stomps away in a huff!*...

;)
 
Apple is really pushing the idea of "Space". The time machine theme, universe theme, and of course spaces.

I think we could probably see a lot more 3D GUI.


I just looksed at the Sun 3D desktop... wow i hope they don't do that... looks very windows gimmick to me.. plus just impractical

Holy mother of... lets hope not. I can't see anything of value they could get from Looking Glass. It was laughable when they first showed it years ago, today it's even worse. I just dug up the video and watched it again and everything they should is either extremely poorly implemented or completely useless. Not to mention it was all running on Java...like anyone needs that albatross hung around the neck of the entire UI.
 
I'm waiting to see banners that take fun jabs, such as "Redmond, start your photocopiers."

i don't see it either but if it's true i imagine it'll be a black imac, as they're can't be much more they can due to improve the design... is there???
