We’ve decided to push out another release to fix some bugs that cropped up with 0.9.7. This includes all the previous fixes for 0.9.6 including the new AppleTV3 preset and updated iPad preset.

Additionally, this version includes updates for 18 translations and adds support for Uzbek and Marathi. For MS Windows, VLC 2.0.2 remains the latest release.

‘Twas the night before WWDC 2012.

WWDC 2012 Keynote is set to go on at 10:00 AM San Francisco time, and the chatters are still going strong. There is no doubt that almost all of them are wishful thinking and made-up stuff. There are some good ones but they could be traps set by Apple.

Somehow I want this rumor to be true:

“The Mac Pro as we know it is as good as gone. What if there’s a tower-type Mac that is smaller and lighter than Mac Pro but still has room for expansions?”

Two pieces of information that will make sense after the keynote:

  • There will be a nice surprise for Apple Developers.
  • Sometimes in July.

Well, just like many people, I’m looking forward to WWDC 2012 Keynote.

Note:

The Apple logo in the WWDC 2012 page is composed of squares with rounded corners; similar with icons of iOS Apps.

p.s.

The ever mysterious firstnameatappledotcom sent us a message:

“You may want to shell out a couple hundreds of bucks and some change for Apple Developer account after the keynote, if you haven’t already. There’ll be a nice surprise for those who attend WWDC workshop. You’ll get that later.”

We have renewed our Developer membership.

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*).
