WWDC 2011 Pre-Keynote Roundup and Coverage Details

[billchase2]

So much complaining on here, as usual... ugh.

 

[Adam1989]

Christ the show is crap, glad I never paid $1599 for it

 

[rjohnstone]

What's the airline company doing there?

Please tell me you know what a delta is and you're not being sarcastic.

 

[grmatt]

Ughhhhh I wanted my iPad to be more like my Mac not my Mac to be more like my iPad.

How about both.

 

[WestonHarvey1]

The guy live blogging for MR sounds like he has a a bug up his you know what. Steve's sick and dying, too much time on Photo Booth (Jobs played with it for like 10 minutes one year), blah blah this isn't like a normal keynote blah.

Yes, i'm being sarcastic.

 

[WestonHarvey1]

Wow, automatic document versioning. DEC was doing that in the eighties on OpenVMS. If I were a Mac user, I would be disappointed so far with the Lion presentation.

I'm sure VMS had user friendly versioning your grandma would use. Yeah, right. It's 2011 and most of the world has no idea what versioning is. They will now.

Grandma don't get Git.

 

[Libitina]

Seems as though they're trying to fill the time out.

Get used to it, they keep telling us we're entering the Post-PC Era.

More like the pre-era. What are they going to show us next? Atari playing pong?

Getting tired of the biased comments from the blogger with an agenda. I want updates on what's happening, not your opinion on what's good or not.

Yep. The Windows 8 demo is another example. It's coming.

 

[kenypowa]

This is boring.

The first 30 minute is a borefest. My god. I thought we live in a post-PC world and mobile device is the future. And they spent first half an hour talking about OS X and autosave.

Same here.

I hope Steve is okay though.

 

[zacman]

So the best new features they have to show in an operating system presentation is a new mail client?! Apple are you serious?

 

[kenypowa]

and here we are, demoing the email app.

Delta changes. When it saves versions, it just saves the differences in the versions.

I hope these new metal icons are just for marketing and they aren't the *actual* icons.

It was automatic. You modify a document, the file system would automatically write it as another version. Microsoft implemented "Previous Versions" (their take on automatic document versioning) in XP I believe. You are correct though, it is 2011 and most people don't know about these and many other technologies.

 

[paulsalter]

I hope mail includes a folder view as now

 

[LoganT]

So, I don't know much about delta updates. But from what I gather it means that update file sizes will be less?

 

[adztaylor]

Wow Lion is app store only.

 

[Cougarcat]

So, I don't know much about delta updates. But from what I gather it means that update file sizes will be less?

Yes, it only downloads the changes, not the whole app.

Ha, only in the app store. Knew it. People are going to be enraged on here...

 

[trekkie604]

"Lion only available on Mac App store"

fail.
