What was the question?

I have just received a message from firstnameatappledotcom:

“Sometimes in July.”

The problem is that I don’t even know what the question is. If I had to guess, I’d say it would be about one of the followings if not more:

  • I’d be briefed on the next Apple products.
  • I’d be shown the next Apple products.
  • I’d be given an Apple Product.
  • I’d be given a test unit of the next Apple product. (This one is a wishful thinking.)
  • I’d be asked to return the test unit to Apple.
  • None of the above.
  • Something I can’t think of.

Anyway, WWDC 2012 is less than two weeks away. According to firstnameatappledotcom this year’s WWDC has a big surprise for Apple Developers. Well, it depends on Apple’s definition of what “big surprise” is.

Yahoo! Axis: View Page As Desktop

One nice feature of Yahoo! Axis is the ability to View Page As Desktop.

In Safari, iCloud.com automatically redirects to an iPad-specific page. Yahoo! Axis can load the desktop version of iCloud.com. That means any of your friends can borrow your iPad to check his/her iCloud email.

Wait a minute…

  • Does anyone use iCloud email?
  • Why is it a good thing to let your friends use your iPad?

Apple prepares iOS 6 for developers.

According to sources within Apple, the first developer build of iOS 6 beta is being readied for distribution. The actual build of iOS 6 beta will be packed for distribution merely days prior to WWDC 2012. Some new hardware specific features will not be included in the beta builds.

The sources intentionally omitted informations that might reveal their identities but hinted at hardware specific features for the next iPhone.

Apple WWDC 2012: Low Hanging Fruits

Apple Worldwide Developer Conference 2012 is exactly four weeks away from today. Many has predicted what Apple might unveil in WWDC 2012, and Captain Obvious already called them.

  • OS X Mountain Lion
  • iOS 6
  • New Macs

Don’t hold your breath for any new iPhone or even iPad in June, save that iPhone for the Fall.

The mysterious firstnameatappledotcom did not say a word when asked about the fate of Mac Pro while nodded to the mention of MacBook Pro with an asterisk. An asterisk? I was told:

You can surely wait until WWDC then you can buy a MacBook Pro. It is worth the wait.

I certainly trust firstnameatappledotcom for the non-information (*wink wink*).
