WWDC Banners Begin Going Up at Moscone Center Ahead of Monday's Keynote

Apple’s 2014 WWDC Logo is Solar Charging Through a Sapphire Crystal

Above is the color scheme generated when light passes through a crystal or prism

A Solar Panel

"When white light passes through a crystal or prism it generates a specific color pattern and set of colors. The pattern of colors generate from white light passing through the crystals are red, yellow, white, green and blue. The colors reflected through a crystal structure are exactly the same colors shown on Apple’s 2014 WWDC with the white light centered in the middle of the Apple. Sapphire cover screens are actual composed of synthetic sapphire crystals and are the same crystal structures that would generate the color pattern and set of colors generated when white light is passed through them."

The bill of materials for the A7 is a little less than $20 a chip and the A8 might bump that up to between 20-25 with the new process technology being new. So for a 4 chip system it would be under up to $100 or $200 for an 8 chip. That doesn't include other proprietary chips they would need to facilitate efficient multi-processor data transfers and communications but it's a small fraction of Intel's Xeons in the same performance range.

In addition, if apple uses the A8 chips in the iphone, the iPad, the iPad mini, the iPod touch, and macs it would increase their production rate - likely decreasing the cost per chip.

Look... More banners!!! Looks like iOS8!

Awesome where did this picture come from?

Not necessarily, they could just have the Xcode text editor, with iCloud syncing, so you could get work done there but could do the actual compiling and art/UI design on a computer.

That will NEVER happen.

Ooh. Lol they better not disappoint at WWDC now. I'm pretty much dying of excitement.

....people really should stop trying to read into the poster too much - its just a poster - nothing more, nothing less.

No hidden meanings and no clues as to what is coming............just be patient!!!!



....dude - you are so right!!!

Every year it has been something more, sometimes people get it, and sometimes they don't. But I guarantee it's not just a poster. Apple is very clever. There is a hidden/not so hidden meaning.

 

[Flight Plan]

Pfah! You guys are all wrong!

It's unicorn dung and you all know I'm right!

I'm looking forward to "Apple Retina Display", a 24" or maybe 27" 4K display from Apple, running 1920 x 1080 as optimal resolution.

lol what??

4k display with 1920x1080 optimal resolution?

Hmm. A macbook form factor with an A8 chip in it. It could run practically forever on one charge.

Here's a wild theory: Custom motherboard with latest Intel CPU, plus Apple A8 in it, plus iphone telephony chips.

- Low power use - uses the A8 chips / graphics chips. Battery lasts forever.
- High power - seamless handover to the Intel chip, more power but less battery.
- Always available access to internet via wifi or 3G or 4G. (with optional settings to reduce data use when on mobile internet)

It's no harder than in the old days of having 2 graphics chips in laptops - both integrated and discrete. IIRC only Apple was able to switch between them on the fly - many windows laptops had problems doing that and needed a reboot or a log-out.

wrong, it would be much harder to have an ARM CPU and x86 CPU in the same system than having 2 different GPUs. For some many different reasons, am not even going to get into it

Or Mac mini <-> Apple TV merge..

hmm, could be cool. cost around $300 ?

No you're not getting it.

The A8 would be the default operating mode, and run iOS apps. (Actually the A7 is already more powerful, with higher GeekBench scores, than the perfectly fine 2009 MacBook c2d 2.2ghz I'm typing this on.) Most iOS apps will come up instantly - iOS MS Office, Mail, small games, videos, iMovie etc. Most non-power users would stay in this mode more or less all the time, with limited access to the file system.

When a demanding app is launched eg FCPX, Creative Studio, Photoshop etc or a heavy game, or Windows in emulation or a power user wants the OSX ecosystem then the Arm brings in the Intel chip to deal with that side of matters.

So I'm guessing that work will be divided between the two chips on a per-app basis, with iOS apps running on the Arm and OSX apps running on the Intel. As to the core underlying OS, I have no idea, but it would make sense to minimise the weight of the OS so as an educated guess the default will be the Arm, and elements of OSX will only be activated as necessary to support OSX apps / as desired by power users.

Some work would be needed to sort out the glue between the two sides, but the two OSes already have similar underlying filesystems and roots. iOS devs could continue writing code and updating their apps like nothing's changed, and ditto for OSX devs.

lol I don't even know what to say to this crazy talk with out being rude

"Write the code, change the world" IFTTT?

Or a SDK for health App's?

That is what I was thinking

More like.


#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

int main(int argc, const char *argv[])
{
NSAutoreleasePool *appPool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
NSLog (@"save the world");
[appPool drain];
return 0;
}

LOL!
I was close.

Here is the code from official documentation of New Swift Language:
“Tradition suggests that the first program in a new language should print the words “Hello, world” on the screen. In Swift, this can be done in a single line:

println("Hello, world")
”
