Tag: WWDC

Between all the rumors and the thousands of echoes of the same rumors, being an insomniac and a tech-junkie is a torture to the (n*π)th level. Apple Worldwide Developers Conference 2008 is set to commence on Monday June 9th 2008 at 10:00 AM Pacific Time (17:00 hour UTC). For two weeks prior to the WWDC 2008, all the faux-journalists and parrot-bloggers have been feeding and repeating rumors over and over. I bet the “c” and “v” are a little bit worn out along with the “ctrl” and “command” keys.

*WARNING – RANTS ALERT*

one.
Please stop cluttering the feed with your mindless copy and paste posts about Apple and the iPhone. You know nothing about it, but at least don’t be lazy and useless for not writing anything for your post. Can’t you spend a few minutes to write a few sentences, and then quote the source properly. The “Report Spam” button seems to be fitting your blog so nicely.

two.
Why can’t the more established sites treats rumors as rumors. Then again, it is the race to be the first to report the rumors in case of it’s being true. Shame on you! You are not journalists even if you went to some journalism school. You’re not a news site or anything remotely close to it because all you do are some stupid and juvenile posts. So please, start reporting news objectively.

*ENDS OF THE RANTS*

Well, where was I before the blinding rage against the copy and paste machine. Ah, WWDC 2008. I’d like to say that I have nothing that I can publicly disclose regarding the upcoming WWDC 2008 announcement. What I can disclose are things that I want to be announced, and they are:

• Announcement of the new iPhone and its immediate availability. I want new iPhone to come out shy one year of its initial release. My iPhone has been great in taking tons of abuse. I can see scratches here and there, and some white spots on the screen. Yeah, I use the iPhone as a phone and then some. There’s a point where I could no longer use it and completely protect it at all time. In retrospect, the iPhone is quite tough. I have been happy with it, but it leaves me wanting more. I want GPS, I want more applications. Faster data network is in the “that’s a nice feature to have” list. Most importantly, I want to see a relatively distinct design for the new iPhone. One can dream, and I want iPhone: Steve Jobs edition.
• New release of the Xcode is definitely coming, and there are some nice new features on it.
• I need to get a new MacBook Pro that looks different than the current incarnations of MacBook Pro. I know that the MacBook Pro models were refreshed just a few months ago. Apple ha been working on the redesign of their portable line, I can’t wait for the new revisions of the portable Macs.
• New Macs other than the Mac mini, MacBook, iMac, MacBook Pro, and the Mac Pro.
• I heard of some chatters about .Mac sometimes in August 2007. Supposedly Apple will be adding some features to the .Mac including iPhone supports. I want my iPhone to be able to sync with .Mac and my computer wirelessly.
• I want Skype, SlingPlayer, iChat, etc on the iPhone.
• New Mac OS X feature. To be honest, I was happy with the annual or 18 months releases schedule of Mac OS X.

Arrgh, I just can’t sleep right now. I’m so anxious. I’ll be posting a lot more Apple-related gibberish as the WWDC Keynote commences.

Until next time!
