WWDC 2014

WWDC has been a primarily software driven event for the past few years, there have been hardware announcements but only for the mac line (Retina MBP's, new Mac Pro etc), the iOS device line has been moved to a Q3 event. We might see a new line of hardware or a hardware refresh at this event, but we won't see any new iPhones or iPads just yet.

WWDC is all about giving developers the information they need to develop software for the next releases of Apples operating systems over the course of a week long event, they keynote is still normally pretty interesting but for developer like myself it's the rest of the week thats the real interesting bit.

Yeah I don't see anything new that uses iOS coming out, they never release new products without new software and iOS8 is due 3 months after the 2nd, so I expect a iPhone/iPad to be inline with that.
 
Integration/convergence of iOS and OSX (or lack of) on the platform level is probably the only thing I'm interested in. However I'm bracing myself for the usual torrent of analysis focused on the purely cosmetic.

As pointed out the real geeks are usually more bothered about what comes after the keynote/sales pitch.
 
Yup, can't see iOS 8 having much extra this evening. Interested to see what happens to OS X 10.10, hopefully my mid-2011 MBP will be in the supported list!

All new icons...
 
Thats my 2008 alu macbook screwed. It won't be able to handle OSX Yosemite's use of gpu for transparency etc, though I doubt the machine will be supported full stop.
 
I really like what they've done overall, the only thing I'm not a huge fan of are some of the icons. The iOS icons just look a bit more sophisticated, these look a bit more...childlike.
