25 Days 21 Hours 16 Minutes

Good to see you again, Suni, and in good form trying to keep us all from getting any sleep!

Not quite 26 days to go.

And I'll be there for the first time in 13 years.

Awesome. 25 Days 5 Hours.

Fine .... 23 DAYS !!!

Just over three weeks to go!

Imagine being a fly on the wall at Apple now..

*Imagines some of scenes from Pirates of Silicon Valley..

Just over 20days... Hmmmm..........

MM... I like chocolate milk....
Um.. 18 DAYS TO go! w00000000000000t

AAPL to hit $115 (and beyond???) today...

17 Days !!

Under three weeks to go!

A little over two weeks to go!

I want a widget that counts down to the keynote, not ten hours before it. Anyone know of one?

Are you sure it's measuring 10 hours earlier? Exactly 10 hours? I might be able to hack|mod the Widget....

It would be nice if they updated the MBPs, but what I really want to see is Leopard.

17 DAYS!

And this thread is proof that Steve has us all hopelessly addicted to everything Mac.

Seeing as this is a countDOWN thread, maybe we could start a countUP thread for Leopard. Or better yet, the next Windows version.

One more choppy thought. (and before I get flammed, I have nothing against any Leopard delay)

Cool. Thanks Ireland. Showing 10 hour differential corrected now.

Also I like your icon, heh... pun... get it....?







16 Days 6 Hours. AAPL Back up past $113.

I like the "would you like to install" part, very authoritative. Who can say no to iSteve himself??

Sexiayed Up:

Use this PNG to replace the Front.png

14 Days!

What would a WWDC thread be without predictions?

1) Apple replaces the MacMini with a new product that will serve a similar purpose and market segment, much like the iPod Nano replaced the iPod Mini (no MacNano jokes please )
2) Leopard features an enhanced BootCamp that will allow for easier emulation of Windows programs within OS X. The requirement that the user purchase and install a copy of Windows will still apply.
3) Finder will no longer be the centre of OS X. It will be replaced by a version of Spotlight on steroids. The Finder will still be available, but it will not be running by default.
4) The iMac loses its chin and will allow users to swap hard drives as they do RAM. They won't be able to open up the back as they did with the very first iMac.
5) Leopard includes a graphical version of MacPorts that can also be used as a repository for open source .app programs.
6) Apple open sources its version of Java. Now that Sun's version is open sourced and Apple's Java 6.0 is over 6 month behind Sun's, Apple has to do this. Also, since Apple's devs are also working on the iPhone and Apple TV, they no longer have the resources to maintain a separate version of Java on their own. It will not open source the native Aqua code that's used by Swing, only the Java classes that access that native code.
7) Bonjour takes a prominent role in Leopard, as well as the AppleTV and the iPhone (this is inspired from roughlydrafted.com, so I can't take full credit for this prediction).
8) Now that all first party apps (Finder, Safari, iTunes) have had their themes unified, Apple will replace the Mac look n' feel with something radically different from Aqua, far more significant than the change to brushed metal from pinstripes and just as significant as the move to OS X itself.

13 Days to Go, after long weekend

June 10th & 11th will be looooong weekends anyway

Happy Memorial Day, USAians ...!!
13 Days 12 Hours

PC version for poor guys who are using PC in office like me

12 Days . PS Ireland, glad you enjoyed the widget skin. Time Difference stuff is handy in iCal, turn on time zone support and I can keep track of PremiereLeague (next season, I guess ) and French Open and stuff. Which reminds me. Time for WWDC to go into my iCal.

Hmm... 1AM my local time, da keynote. Ah, not too bad...

\\

2:00 am here; nothing like pulling an all-nighter for the cause.

Will be on chat from half-an hour before the keynote. Anybody doing live coverage?

Cool. Appleinsider chat room on AOL/AIM. ... I'll try and be on chat about an hour before keynote.

The usual suspects will be giving live coverage. Nice if we had some real insiders from AI Forums.

11 days, 22 hours, 34 minutes.

something wrong in your calculation

12 days and 52 mintues to go, key note starts at June 11th, Monday, 10 AM, PST.

Less than two weeks to go!
