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: Microsoft’s Bing is iPhone-bound in Apple WWDC 2010.

Previously on “Brain Not Needed”:

Steve Ballmer was going to make an appearance on Steve Jobs WWDC 2010 Keynote introducing Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. A brainless analyst claimed that Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 supports native codes for iPhone, iPad and Mac OS X. Then the same brainless analyst retracted the statement.

It is more likely that Apple would be adding Bing search engine into iPhone OS Safari. It will not, however, replaced Google and Yahoo! search. Then again, since Yahoo! is also using Bing search engine. As long as Apple is not dropping Yahoo! search, Bing is making it to the iPhone Safari.

It is more logical for Apple to add Bing and Yahoo! into Safari search; for all platforms.

It is unlikely for Apple to remove Google from the approved search engine for the iPhone.

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!

Apple Haters already hates iPhone OS 4.

Shortly after the iPhone OS 4 preview event, Apple Haters are sounding off how much they hate iPhone OS 4 already. Notably, Microsoft P.R. person Paul Thurrott already built a list of things he hates about iPhone OS 4 before the event even started.

  • It is from Apple afterall.
  • Those features already present in Jail-broken iPhones and iPod touch.
  • Apple stole the ideas from Google’s Android.
  • The UI is pretty much the same thing, unlike Microsoft’s Windows Mobile Phone 7 OS 7 Operating System Seven Series number 7.
  • No Flash support.
  • No Silverlight support.

Other Apple Haters are also saying:

  • Still no Google Voice App.
  • No Internet Explorer.
  • No Flash.
  • No Opera.
  • No Firefox.
  • No Flash.
  • No OGG support.
  • No Flash.
  • No Front Facing Camera (??????????).
  • The App Store approval still sucks (one valid point there).
  • It is still a closed system.
  • It is not Open Source (damn those Hippies!).

The list goes on and on.
