"Company uses their Software Development Conference to only unveil new Software Technologies! News at 11!"
Seriously... It's pretty silly to expect them to unveil new products at WWDC. Yes, they have used it in the past to unveil iPhones and iPads, but really? Those had a direct impact on the conference itself. Given that an iWatch or upgraded Apple TV are likely to rely on existing Software Technologies & Frameworks, it's highly unlikely that these products would be unveiled. They may not even release the API's for these products publicly. They still haven't for existing Apple TV's though they clearly have a framework that their Media Partners have been using (Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, MLBTV, etc...). They may limit API access to the iWatch to only a handful of known/trusted App Developers until more of the kinks have been worked out of it (so the product launch isn't plagued with terri-bad apps).
Can we start a poll thread with voting on what people think OS X 10.10 will be named?

Personally, I think it's a toss-up between the first 3 on my list. The Sierras are an iconic mountain range. Sequoia National Park & Yellowstone National Park are two key points of interest in California (among many).

I like Sequoia. However, I'm not sure it's going to be any of these.

I thought they moved to surfing hot spots. Big Sur comes to mind.
I didn't think it was exclusively surfing spots... Otherwise yeah, Big Sur & Trestles are obvious options.
I was under the impression the new naming convention was going to be based on iconic California locations (which includes far more than just surfing locations).
And yet you shortchange Cook. The iPad mini/Air, Mac Pro come to mind.
I don't know what's going on with asdad. He seems to be singularly missing the sarcasm of your initial post. Why is he still accusing you of disparaging Jobs?
Cook became CEO in 2011. Not even three years ago.
I remember Jobs creating new product categories every quarter and never has more than a one day gap between breakthroughs. Oh that never happened? You mean there was 6 years between the iPod and iPhone? Jobs should have been fired for that innovation gap.
You're right. These last four years without a major new product release have not all been on Cook's watch. Just most of it.
And as for those six years you claim that Apple went under Jobs without a major new product release, you're flat wrong.
In 2005 Apple released the Mac G5, featuring, for the first time, a computer with entirely new system architecture--a major product. In the other intervening years Apple released other entirely new products, including the first Intel Macs, Time Capsule, LCD Cinema Display, iSight, iLife, iWork, Apple TV and Xserve.
What totally new products has Cook brought into the world in his time? NONE! All that Apple has done is tinker with existing its products.

Far be it for me to call you an errant, hook-nosed, fustilarian, but you're wrong. If SolipsismX is feeling kind, he will publish a list of new products that you have overlooked. May you shrink back, cowed and beaten.

Your list could be considered "tinkering with existing products", though. It's all about how you choose to look at the situation.
I am pretty impressed with what Apple has delivered under Tim Cook's leadership.
iOS7 and iPhone 5/5s are impressive products.
I also think that the new Mac Pro is ridiculously cool, and demonstrates significant innovation and leadership in the high-end desktop space - it's a space that Apple clearly doesn't want to give up, and is clearly serious about.
There are many more besides just these, but these are the ones that stand out to me at the moment in particular.
Again, it's all about how you look at things. Apple can not be expected to invent a new product category every year (and they patently didn't do this under Jobs).

Mac Pro, lightning connector, iOS 7. I guess they don't fall within YOUR subjective definition.
What does any of this have to do with what I said? I didn't say anything about sales figures. I was talking about them having a big product launch in the spring and then again in the fall, having both halves of the year covered. And as far as shipped vs. sold, Apple reports shipped figures as well. Hence why Tim Cook spent so much time on Apple's earnings call explaining why the 16% YOY iPad decline wasn't as bad as it looked.
It's relevant because you seem to suggest that Samsung is outselling Apple due to their product release schedules, so I pointed out examples showing Samsung's performance hasn't been all that hot lately.
Regarding sales figures, Apple publishes both shipment and sales figures unlike any of their competitors, and unlike Samsung, nobody has caught Apple lying about their numbers.

I thought of Trestles. It just shows I've spent too much time in Southern California.

Yeah you were. Your claim was that jobs didn't release much from 2001-2007. I listed the significant releases in that time frame.
None are those products were game changers.
And yet you shortchange Cook. The iPad mini/Air, Mac Pro come to mind.

You’re either blind, trolling, or psychotic.
Pick whichever suits you best.
