Your right! I hadn't seen that, I was expecting it to be a big story as it is one. Maybe if it had effected the US it would be taken more seriously?
Seriously? I look forward to this post every year! It's always about 6 days before!
It doesn't make a whole lot of sense.. If the product is basically a Mac running a fresh take on Front Row on top of OS X it might as well run on any Mac and the other way round would end up as the worst of both worlds.
'Write the code'
So no hardware at all...
It's a developer conference. The people who go to the conference write code. Apple supplies the hardware.
- Write the code could be a new Xcode.
- Write the code could be a developer SDK for the AppleTV so we have apps for it.
- The colour gradient, blue to red to orange to yellow could be colours of a new product.
- The dots could be an Apple television as said above or more retina screen talk.
- The dots could be an Apple 4k monitor.
- The size of the Apple (so large it won't even fit on the banner) could mean this whole keynote and WWDC is part of a greater whole.
- Change the world could be Apple has plans to announce something that is not really profit driven. Some scheme to really help the world. They have enough cash to do so.
- Does the skinny font (from iOS) mean that font will be used more in OS X
- Change the world, could this be the OS post OS X? Ie OS 11 or similar?
- Could change the world be wearable technology? Just like changing your clothes you change your wearable tech too.
- Change the world could be expanding touch ID to all iOS devices and possibly even to Macs.
- Change the world could be radical changes to the Mac Mini. Possibly even removing the low end headless Mac totally. That would be hard keeping the Mini's price points and including a screen as amazing as the iMac screen.
- Change the world could be Apple Spaceship campus talk.
- All this colour could mean Aperture Pro X. It's bound to come as we already have LPX and FCPX.
Just some ideas I've had.
My guess is ARM processors in the MacBook Air and MAYBE in the iMac. Maybe Apple has figured out a very good way to allow developers to quickly "port" their apps to ARM based architecture like they did with the 64bit A7 processor? Or maybe a very well written virtualization built in so it can run both Intel and ARM (I'm not certain this is entirely possible). I think it will happen eventually and Apple typically figures out a good way to make things like this a nice transition so let's see!
This is better than Christmas, I swear. I actually get that excited twist in the pit of my stomach like I did as a little kid. Make us proud, Santa Cook!
I have no idea but it may be this design firm?

We have designed Apple’s branded exhibitions for over a decade, using vivid graphic elements, intuitive space delineation and interactive product displays to encapsulate the essence of the brand. The Apple MacWorld exhibitions took place in Tokyo, New York, San Francisco, Paris and were supported by 25+ venues globally. We’ve been involved in every global product launch to-date.
At the risk of sounding like a broken record (or perhaps an improperly terminated MP3 file for the youth around here), Mac Mini merged with AppleTV marketed as a Steam Machine would absolutely destroy the XBone and give the PS4 a serious run for its money.
Do it, Apple! Don't fear the Pippin! Call the new one the Mac Merry, symbolizing fun, mirth, reliability, steadfastness, and another member of the fellowship!
For WWDC banners I'm sure Apple would design them all and just rock up to a printing company and say -> print this, at that size on this material at this DPI.

"An MP3 stuck on Loop" would be a better analogy, as a broken record just repeats one part over and over cause the tracks on it where the stylus goes is broken.
From a distance the Apple logo looks fuzzy. That means either that Retina displays are now out and all iOS devices will revert to 320x240; or that the company is rebranding itself as Peach.
Well, Apple has approached Comcast about purchasing their new "fast lane" Internet access...

Oh! Now I see... So the issue with today's ARM processors is that no one takes advantage of the processing power they hold?
from a developer perspective, i want a better xCode to be released! the recent release is fine but at some point it's buggy. In addition, more sprite kit features! Overall, i have a feeling they will be focusing on Graphics for this event ranging from hardware to software.

Doubt it. They're not going to risk their secrets to some doofus in a print shop!
Super exciting!, finally something to look forward to in the coming week.. I'm especially excited for OSX 10.10 mainly because I'm not expecting a UI/UX revamp in iOS8 since it has already recently been done in iOS7..
It'll be interesting to see what Apple comes up with for OSX 10.10, clearly currently OSX lacks consistency as it once did with iOS, but really hope Apple gets it right, because getting the flat UI right is harder to do..

The day Apple (i.e. Jonathan Ive) uses Neue Helvetica properly is the day I'll upgrade to iOS 7 or 8 or 9 or 10.... It's too thin against that background! Get a clue. (I know, I know, who cares about readability and legibility as long as it's trendy!) I guess we can kiss that Macintosh User Interface Guide goodbye forever.
see i even preferred the one they used in the betas that was apparently too "thin" for the old folks and they got rid of later
