Today is a special day. Its the kind of day where you get goose pimples in your toes. Its the keynote of the WWDC and it is different from JavaOne and Windows PDC. For starters, for the second year running it has been a sellout developer conference, developer = geek, you know, the kind who never spoke much in class, the one with pocket protectors, the one whom everyone else avoided in school.
Lately Apple has turned that into a rock concert. Because well, it has become the epitome of cool. Next time, buy your tickets to the WWDC well in advance, like all great rock concerts, they sell out fast.
Since all the nice technology blogs are all a-blogging. Here’s what I can catch so far. Since Apple’s withdrawal from MacWorld – no keynote there anymore. Apple seems to have moved the keynote to the WWDC instead. And we are seeing product introductions at the Keynote instead. Well, we all know at the State of the Union when the curtains are closed and the press have gone schoomzing in the lounge, they suddenly go, oh wait, its not that simple.
Still. Its nice. So what do we have (thus far):
(1) Numbers.
Apple has the numbers which make every single company in the world go green. Since it has died almost twenty times in the last twenty years, and everyone has predicted a Mac-Death eventually. It has finally gotten its rewards. Mac OSX – check. iPhone – check. Everything else – check. check. check.
(2) Mac Upgrades.
The Apple Store in every country is down. Whilst we are being introduced to a great new lineup for the MacBooks. Since I’ve bought mine about 8 months ago and it looks the same. I’m going to skip this for now and actually use my computer for three years.
(3) Microsoft Bashing.
Well.. its fun 
(4) Snow Leopard.
Will be out in September 2009. It costs 29EUR to upgrade. Really? That’s awesome. Goodbye piracy. The price of technology has gone down so much since the last decade. Why should our software be pricey?
(5) iPhone
50, 000 Applications. 1 billionth download in nine months. Everyone else – stare in envy. New iPhone – read new iPhone!
Looks the same.
Faster.
Nike + enabled.
iPhone SDK 3.0 releasing on 17 June. Can’t wait!
(6) No one more thing and Steve Jobs rising like the pheonix?
