Does this mean we get a glimpse of 10.9?

I certainly hope so. Obviously, everything is getting colourful and translucent.
But seriously: I much more appreciate WWDC logo design analysis than talking too much about legal issues, Samsung, Windows, etc. I'm not against it, but primarily I enjoy to discuss news from Apple here - Apple products.
That's got to be a yes. I assume we will see the start of the Jonification of OSX.

"Obviously OS X is going to change every application's icon into a rounded square."
Seriously, if they do that, it's going to infuriate me. It works for fingertip-sized systems, but you lose so much character that way.
"The thin font means the MacBook Air will be center stage."
Despite it being a developer conference and having nothing to do with the MacBook Air.
Ah, wait a minute now…
A new Core Framework, perhaps? I know I've missed some, but those don't have icons. Or do they?
Be prepared to be absolutely blown away! :smokey:
Woooh. where do they sell tickets
Guys,
I compared the same AI article on WWDC 2012 announcement and this one.
This year has one more bullet point of activity:
The latest innovations, features and capabilities of iOS and OS X, and how to enhance an app's functionality, performance, quality and design
Maybe we will see something different this year.

Oh my God... they are close to Window Metro tile interface colors.
Have they pre-announced ticket sales in the past? I seem to remember just waking up one day last year and finding out they were already sold out.

Anyone else going? Or going to try and go?

Quality and design ... We will see Jony Ive's hand, particularly pertaining to iOS. The word on the street is that it will blow people away.

If you turn your head clockwise to the left and look at overlapping D and C in WWDC... it's a human with zigzag legs.
