Apple WWDC 2010 Live Keynote Coverage Links.

It is that time of the year again when Apple is hosting a Conference to its Developers. Yes, Steve Jobs will be kickstarting WWDC 2010 on Monday June 7th, 2010 10:00 AM Pacific Time.

Here’s an early list of the sites who would bring you the live coverage; it will be updated as more become available:

As usual, there will be sites providing some kind of live coverage of WWDC 2010 Keynote. I wonder if Gizmodo will be there after their failed attempt to extort Steve Jobs for access?

UPDATE: Brian Lam from Gizmodo claims that Apple won’t respond to their requests to attend WWDC. (via Daring Fireball)

Apple did not release iPhone OS 4 beta 5 which was expected on June 1, 2010. It is likely that Apple will show more of the iPhone OS 4 features exclusive to the next iPhone, what ever it called (iPhone 4? iPhone 4G? iPhone A4? iPhone Extreme Championship Editions?).

According to our telepath who probed the mind of an Apple Executive who is definitely Scott Forestall, the next iPhone (hardware) will not be available during the WWDC week. There will be auxiliary announcements related to the next iPhone, including Apple’s “reactions” to AT&T New Wireless Data Plans. Based on the telepathic source, Apple is planning to make the next iPhone available for sale between late June and early July. That’s June 25/26 or July 2/3 weekend.

Stay tuned for more links as they are made available.

Brain Not Needed: Ballmer at Apple WWDC and Visual Studio writes native codes iPhone, iPad and Mac OS X.

Seriously, I need to get a job as a “Analyst” now. Think about the ridiculous amount of money people are willing to pay me for some random analysis I made up.

Steve Ballmer at WWDC? Unlikely.

Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 to write native codes for iPhone, iPad and Mac OS X? Seriously? Apparently someone needs attention really bad. Writing Mac OS X apps in Windows, that’s making as much sense as giving Carlos Mencia his own show.

Don’t know what I’m ranting about? Ask John Gruber.

Brain Not Needed!

Firefox 3.6.4 is somewhat available.

I saw an update notice for Firefox 3.6.4 on one of the computers today. As always, I let it update. Wen I tried updating Firefox on other computers for some reasons no updates found.

Was Firefox 3.6.4 released and immediately pulled?

Mystery solved! Apparently someone installed Firefox 3.6.4 beta on that particular computer.

Apple hints iPhone OS 4 and next iPhone release sometimes in early July 2010.

According to an imaginary source who claimed to be an Apple Executive that is definitely not Phil Schiller, Apple is aiming for early July 2010 for the release of iPhone OS 4 and the next iPhone (dubbed as iPhone 2010). July 2nd might be a possible release date.

Apple is somewhat planning to announce the public availability of iPhone 2010 and iPhone OS 4 at WWDC on June 7th, 2010 in San Francisco.

In addition to iPhone OS, Apple is also somewhat planning to reveal a thing or two or five about its Mac OS X platform.

iPhone SDK 4 beta 3 and iPhone OS 4 beta 3 are released.

Details are scarce due to Apple Developers NDA. According to sources iPhone SDK 4 beta 3 and iPhone OS 4 beta 3 are released.

Notes from the imaginary sources:

  • So far beta 3 is using less memory than beta 1 & 2.
  • Lots of bug fixes.

As usual, please do not install any beta releases unless you understand the risk. Beta softwares are generally buggy.

Since the knuckleheads at 9 to 5 Mac already revealed some of the features from iPhone OS 4 beta 4:

Portrait Orientation Lock and iTunes Control

More info if they’re made available.

Steve Jobs speaks up about Flash and Adobe’s response.

Apple fans and haters have something to bicker about today. It’s about what Steve Jobs said about Flash. Not that Flash from the comic book. It is Adobe Flash.

Thoughts on Flash

blah blah blah blah blah blah, Flash is proprietary, blah blah blah, Battery Life, blah blah blah, Flash crashes on Macs, blah blah blah.

OK, that’s the really short summary the blah-blah-blah version.

Shortly after, Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen responded to Steve Jobs’ statement through an interview with The Wall Street Journal:

blah blah blah, Flash on Android, blah blah blah, Steve Jobs is wrong, blah blah blah, Nexus One, blah blah blah, Flash, blah blah blah.

That’s another short summary the blah-blah-blah version.

So take sides and start arguing!
