WWDC 2012 Banners: "Where great ideas go on to do great things."

Huh? The slogan talks about doing 'great things'. An action or outcome is implied, not an object you can hold.

I'd love to see amazing new hardware announced, and there may be… but personally, I don't get that feeling from the banner. People seem to want to find hidden codes in it, but at face value the words refer to nothing more than the process by which a developer's idea becomes a working app, capable of doing 'great things'. The image reflects this too, with apps seemingly coming out of thin air on the left, and getting bigger to the right. At the end of the day, that's the process of app development, and that's what a developers conference is all about. So I don't see anything unexpected or particularly remarkable about the banner.

But hey, maybe Tim will pull out 'Five more things' right at the end and I'll have to eat my words.

I said that was one possible option. I did list other options. In my post. Which you did not quote. I never said they were 100% what APple meant by the slogan. Just plausible options.

Also designing things is doing things also. Cause designing is something you can do. Less plausable cause it's a WWDevelopersC not a WWindustrialdesignersC. But anything is possible.

Your possible about ideas turning into bigger and better developed Apps (based on the banner image) is very plausible too.

Hopefully they've spent some r&d money and ported the calculator and clock app from the iPhone to the iPad... I really don't get Apple's thinking sometimes.

The Banner looks a lot like the Adobe Cloud ad's: Lots of exploding color constructs with icons. It seems that someone got "inspired" a little bit too much here lol. I wonder if they use the same ad/graphic design agency...

Correct but wrong

The tag line is iambic pentameter, which explains the wording; you have to make up 10 beats in the line.

Yes, you are correct it is iambic pentameter. Anyone can write in iambic pentameter, that doesn't mean you get Shakespearian quality.With this slogan you get Steve Balmer quality. Where is Shakespeare when you need him.

OH,wait. Apple has them!

I might agree if not for the leaked specs of the MBP 13". Last time we got such a leak, all the rumored "changes" didn't materialize (remember the 2011 refresh and the early box pictures. We had had tons of rumors of the same kind, HiDPI, new casings, slimmer form factors). I'm thinking the Macs are only getting Ivy Bridge and USB 3.0 this round, no form factor changes, no big sweeping "No Ethernet/ODD in Pros", no HiDPI displays :

Yep, lot of people are will be disappointed. I think the major redesign will have its own event in the future.
I vote for silent spec bumps happening at most.

I think we have no idea what people will or will not be. :]

Silent spec bumps "at most" seems wildly unlikely... seriously...

Monday can't get here soon enough.

True, true - I'd love to be mistaken

You're a joke. Apple reinvented the Smartphone. They made possible all this software on phones truly a thing of prevelance. So for you to trash the fact they started and continue to grow on their original platform, you have no business to be here.

The Windows Phones and Android Phones have different things in them, so what.

And you are an idiot fanboy. I owned the original iPhone and you couldn't even put real apps on it. You had little icons that were portals to websites that you had to access over slow Edge. The Palm platform that I came from was so far ahead of Apple in every department it wasn't even funny. And despite all the copying Apple has done, they're still far behind Android, Windows Mobile and WebOS. Their notifications system is pathetic.

If you feel that way, get out of here?
This is an APPLE rumors site. Expect Fanboys. But also expect logic.
