Mr. Jobs also said that people don't read anymore and that no one wants to watch video on an iPod.
Apple is not a software company, nor a hardware company. But WWDC is not about Apple as a company, it's about Apple's leverage of the developer community to build added value for their ecosystem to sell their systems. Hence, they will concentrate on showing off software.

There's always a Q&A after keynotes. I'm not confused with D.
About the banner design:
Seems like Additive colors to me. That's an effect a graphic designer would'nt use in the first place. So this could be for a reason. Keep in mind that Sharp has developed a five color screen that could be sold as "retina for colors".
Quote:
This five-primary-color display comprises “Multi-Primary-Color Technology” that features special image processing circuitry, in addition to the display panel whose pixel structure is based on five-color filters that add the colors C (cyan) and Y (yellow) to the three colors of R (red), G (green), and B (blue). This combination expands the color gamut (range of reproducible colors) that can be rendered within the color spectrum that humans can discern with the unaided eye, and enables the display to reproduce more than 99% of real surface colors*2. Nearly all real surface colors can be rendered faithfully, including colors that have been difficult to render using conventional LCD monitors—the color of the sea (emerald blue), brass instruments (golden yellow), and roses (crimson red), for example. As adoption of this technology will enable more efficient use of light energy produced by the backlight, this display will also provide greater energy savings.

I would say: Retina resolution? No way! No use to make that happen unless your sitting ten inches from your screen. The next revolution for the most realistic colors ever seen on a television and the next quality standard? Yes!

Yes, because you and Steve think alike. Or did he personally tell you this?????

I just got a giraffe.
Or... the developers attending the conference. The Jobs era has ended and Monday starts the Cook era in earnest. Perhaps it's the opening offering of the Cook era that it's not going to be it's not all about Apple; that there is a realization in the company that 3rd party devs are key to Apple's success.
Maybe...
Interesting. I don't know why I've got this on the brain, but I've got this notion that the iMac and Thunderbolt display *might* just be curved? I'm thinking that Apple might have the jump on the availability of flexible glass/panels...?

I'm with you there. When Tim Cook says their working on things that wil blow your mind I expect more than just a map app that's probably won't be as good as Google's and redesigned iTunes/app stores. They have the opportunity to knock it out of the park; I hope they do.

I migh agree if they were just updating the innards but if we get a thinner MBP and retina displays and if the Mac Pro is updated and redesigned I can see them talking about it. It's not like WWDC has never featured hardware before.
At least if they release iOS6, I won't keep thinking iOS5 looks like iOSS.
No, it will look like iOSG

I see the following talked about during the Keynote, probably in this order:
1. Mountain Lion
2. iOS 6
- (maybe iPhone 5)
3. iCloud updates
Macs - I don't think new Mac's will be talked about. They will just appear in the store. There's nothing really changed in them to make a topic for discussion.
Apple TV - I just don't see it happening.
----------
I see at least 2-3 big changes or additions being released. Maps being one of hem.
I'm sure they will highlight 10 features, 3 or 4 of which will be like eh, no biggie.
I just don't see or hear enough rumors on other features, not like how previous versions were with Notifications, Copy & Paste, etc.

Is that you Eric?, Larry?
More like Steve jobs
He'd agree that iCloud sucks
Are u saying it's a great service or u going to lie to my face?
Do u know how much I'd love one email but their mail client isn't anywhere near gmail.
I'll try iCal though - thanks for the tip
The Mac hardware is due for s major refresh, and is rumored to be getting one(Though, I wonder where are the leaks?). While I'm not in the market for a new Mac right now(purchased an early 11 MBP), I'd still love to see some significant changes as this unibody design is getting long in the tooth.
