They're probably giving away free Lady Gaga tickets or something to generate lines bigger than the iPhone launch.

I just think it's funny that a guy named Kafka is covering Apple. He would make a great app store developer.

I've never liked the mouse. I used a trackball for several years then switched to a USB trackpad. Having a large size multi-touch trackpad sounds pretty cool.

OK, maybe 10.7 will be the last Mac OS, as a stopgap until iPhone OS advances further. But WWDC makes it clear that they don't care about OS X much anymore.

I may eventually get the iPad and I think it's an interesting device but no way does it come even close to replacing my MBP. It's depressing how Apple has deprecated OS X - it's almost non existent at WWDC and I wouldn't be surprised if 10.7 is canc…

It's almost as bad a rip off as Apple' RAM pricing (prior to the last year or so)

I'm just surprised the Courier was something that could have potentially come to market. I figured it was pure vapor from the get go, to distract from the iPad. Or maybe nobody told Allard that.

"X264 developer says Google's new VP8 WebM codec is a mess"..... And in other news, Flash developer says HTML5 is a mess. Within hours of the announcement. everyone is rushing to spread FUD about VP8 and come to H264's defense. A surefire way to …

Funny how the author glosses over the very serious issue of H264 royalties - "Oh Mozilla is just too cheap to pay?" H264 licensing is $5 million dollars a year (for software with wide distribution. Not exactly chump change. There are also issues wit…

If it ain't broke, fix it til it is. Depressed at the thought of "iMovie Pro" (dumbed down and Disney-fied). I actually think FCP is more intuitive than iMovie. If all you need is very basic editing, go for iMovie. If you need more but can't be …

The new MBPs are very impressive, but I wish they offered ExpressCard on at least one of the 15" models. ExpressCard is very underrated - you can use it to add additional powered USB ports (who wants an ugly hub AND power supply dangling off their M…

Chen should hope that prosecutors are as lenient on him as they were him Jobs on his illegal back dating of stocks.

I'd like to see Apple make a Dreamweaver like HTML5 development program. It would make a nice addition to their pro apps suite.

I like how it says "conversions without confusion" then confuses you with what appears to be a typo ("new" instead of "no" SDK).
