Getting Ready for iOS 8 and OS X 10.10
WWDC 2014 Keynote is about 10 hours away and I’m getting ready.
I have a fresh SanDisk Extreme II SSD and a spare iPhone that I can use to install OS X 10.10 and iOS 8 betas respectively.
This year Apple will be live-streaming WWDC Keynote. Can’t wait.
Apple to Live Stream WWDC 2014 Keynote
Apple announced that WWDC 2014 Keynote will be streamed live at 10:00 am on Monday June 2, 2014.
One can assume that Apple has one big announcement at WWDV 2014.
According to firstnameatappledotcom, key Apple employees have been spending extra time this year at Foxconn factory in China; hinting at possible introduction of new hardware at WWDC 2014.
Another hint from firstnameatappledotcom:
“Consider the resolution scaling in MacBook Pro with Retina Display in the next iPhone.”
Care to guess what it is?
One Week to Apple WWDC 2014
Apple WWDC 2014 is set to take place in San Francisco from June 2 to June 6, 2014.
According to our friend firstnameatappledotcom, there will be a pleasant surprise at the WWDC Keynote. We can’t wait to see what the surprise ie.
Many expect Apple to preview the next iOS and OS X at the Keynote while some expect an announcement of a new hardware or two.
In one week, it will all be revealed.

New and Thinner Square Reader
I received the new and thinner Square reader for a few weeks already. I finally took it out of the packaging and compare it with the older reader.
The new Square reader is roughly half the thickness of the old one, but has a slightly larger surface area.
The new Square reader is required by June 1, 2014.
