‘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.

WWDC 2012 Keynote Live Coverage Links.

It is that time of the year again, Apple WWDC Keynote. As usual there will be numbers of sites covering the keynote live.

WWDC 2012 Keynote starts at 10:00 San Francisco time on June 11th, 2012.

Please keep checking back as links will be updated as they become available.

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.

Countdown to MobileMe Extinction, T-Minus 22 Days.

Depends on how you see it, you either have 22 days or 21 days left until MobileMe ends on June 30th, 2011.

To use iCloud you need at least OS X Lion or iOS 5. One main reasons people stay with Mac OS X Snow Leopard is the applications. OS X Lion no longer supports Rosetta application. That means you have to upgrade the applications before making the move to OS X Lion.
