Apple CEO Steve Jobs and a team of Apple executives will kick off the company’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) with a keynote address on Monday, June 6 at 10am. At the keynote, Apple will unveil its next generation software – Lion, the eighth major release of Mac OS X; iOS 5, the next version of Apple’s advanced mobile operating system which powers iPad, iPhone and iPod touch; and iCloud, Apple’s upcoming cloud services offering.
WWDC will feature more than 100 technical sessions presented by Apple engineers. Mac developers will see and learn how to develop world-class Mac OS X Lion applications using its latest technologies and capabilities. Mobile developers will be able to explore the latest innovations and capabilities of iOS and learn how to greatly enhance the functionality, performance and design of their apps. All developers can bring their code to the labs and work with Apple engineers.

MacDailyNews Take: 🙂
Go Steve!
It is official. Here is the Apple press release:
http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2011/05/31wwdc.html
I linked that earlier, but it got deleted for some reason.
Yeah, me too. Maybe MDN thinks people are more colorful when dealing with what they think might be a rumor, than when something is certain. We could always change it to MacDailyRumors…
I’ve had a surprising number of seemingly innocuous postings deleted over the past months. I don’t understand why they have been doing that.
Yep and the funny thing is that their new offering (iCloud) is officially announced far before the keynote. So the “one more thing” will be something else then…
Go Steve!
Go banana!
Haha!
Tipping Point Ahead .:.
Wow, the first two comments are only 2 seconds apart…
hmm, I mean minutes… not so special now, is it?
It would an epic, were Steve Jobs to unveil the next iOS, and having done so, in the next slide under the title “Here ya go,” bring up the Samsung’s court request to see the next version of iPhone and iPad.
At least, I’ll be tickled.
The bad part about being smart… Is that you end up taking some of the thunder away from the surprise… Shhhhhh!
If this IS official: that 1) Steve Jobs is announcing, 2) iOS 5 will be unveiled, and 3) iCloud will be unveiled (Lion is no surprise);
Then the surprise announcement(s) should be incredible.
It is official my friend. Please check Apple site
http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2011/05/31wwdc.html
If this is true about Steve Jobs, then I believe this to be as epic as Apple’s products. Mind over matter, excellent doctors and treatment plus a guardian angel looking over him. I’m thrilled about what Apple plans to churn out. Thank you Steve and thank you Apple!
Holy Crap! Let’s see the REAL MobileMe!
So “one more thing” won’t be iCloud.
What will it be?
They don’t always do “one more thing”. Although if they can pull it off all the better!
iOS5 and iCloud will be more than enough for me. Even better if we get some surprise new features from Lion (not counting on it though).
iPhone 4s (or whatever it can be called) still one of probable variants.
The “one more thing” will be Steve saying “I’m back full time”.
And one more thing… Steve will be introducing Ballmer’s left nut… no, not me…the real Ballmer’s left nut…because after Steve proceeds to crush Ballmer’s nuts only the left one will be left standing…
Since when do they announce whats in the keynote? That is different..
I was surprised at this too. That means they are definitely showing something else. There’s no way Apple reveals everything they are showing before the keynote. That ruins the hype.
*sigh… again….Since they gave no details and basically announced to a group of developers that they would be talking about their 2 OS’s, and a new cloud offering (which is basically a new mobile me), and gave no details (eg. features, price points, dates).. they actually didn’t ‘reveal everything’.. they didn’t reveal anything new
I love watching these rollouts, and every time I see Steve I thank God for him. Oh how sweet to have decades of watching superb mastery. Just love it. What a gift to get to see another!
Yes, this is great news in itself.
If they would broadcast this live to the Apple Stores, I’d take the morning off to go watch. I can’t get into the real keynote, but how great would it be share it live, on the big screen, with pack of Apple fans. Serve Bloody Marys and it would be perfection.
Hey, THAT would be very cool …
and in London would be 6pm T_T
And Margaritas down here in Margaritaville.
i’d second that.
but.. it IS a Developer conference…
Unveiling of new hardware, i think apple SHOULD do this every time.
Steve is announced to speak and the stock goes up. Perhaps his health issue has had more to do with the stagnant price. I hope he also reveals iPhone to T-Mobile. That might drive the price up.
I was skimming the article but I could not see any part of it saying SJ was gonna be on stage. Are you sure it was in the article?????
The first sentence of the press release begins, “Apple® CEO Steve Jobs and a team of Apple executives will kick off the company’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) with a keynote address…”
Stop skimming and read! 😉
bugger! I read the wrong article.
I have my alarm set!!! Go Steve!!
I love looking forward to keynotes! And today I’m looking forward to Mavs in NBA Finals. Great day !!
Redmond and Mountain View, warm up your photocopiers!
More like Redmond start your VCRs and cassette tapes.
Steve has got us conditioned to the “One More Thing” act many years ago. However, for several of the last few keynotes, he hadn’t done it. It seems that he may think the trick is getting old and unnecessary. Personally, I liked it, although I can see how he doesn’t really want to do it anymore if rumour mill already has pretty much guessed all of his surprises.
I must say, though, by doing this press release, Apple has, perhaps for the first time in history, revealed EVERYTHING they will talk about in a keynote, almost a week in advance. It will be interesting to see what kind of a response these will receive, now that we all know what they’re going to be.
D’accord. Tis enough goodness that Steve will be there presenting.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see Apple unlease the unthinkable …. Allow Lion to be installed on non-Apple products. The reason why I think this is Apple now has the Mac App Store and will make money on paid apps. Apple sells more laptops than desktops so the sales won’t be effected that bad and the money they will make from the app store will more than offset any loss in desktop sales.
never happen.
Imagine the headache’s with people installing Lion on a Dell?….. and expecting Apple to fix that crap?
“I paid XXXX for Lion, and it won’t install on my PoS Dell!!!!!!!11!!! Apple sucks”
and expecting Mac users to have to listen to the whining?
There’s a reason apple forbids non-apple hardware.
Here’s the thing people are already loading OS 10.5 on pos Dells and Hp and doing is quite easily.
This suggests to me that iCloud will be tightly integrated with the OSes and that the wow factor won’t be the cloud but what the user does with the OS services and apps. There might not be new hardware announced, IF the new hardware doesn’t require significant rework by developers. Perhaps a disappointment for those looking for new specs, but hardly necessary to maintain sales and technical/usability lead.
When did computer programmers become “engineers?” Thumbs up if you believe that is absurd.
Exactly. Also when did services become products… I hate that one too.
Oh yes! Good one.
They didn’t.
They are a breed amongst themselves.
“Mac Hardware Engineering
The Mac Hardware Engineering team is looking for brilliant engineering minds to help design and develop our next generation of groundbreaking products. Specifically, we’re seeking creative people with backgrounds in electrical, mechanical, and specialized engineering — as well as industrial design and quality assurance — to build sleek, powerful products like the MacBook, MacBook Air, Mac Pro, and iMac.” http://www.apple.com/jobs/us/corporate.html
Better question, “When did idiots learn to comment?”
OK, Einstein, “WWDC will feature more than 100 technical sessions presented by Apple engineers. Mac developers will see and learn how to develop world-class Mac OS X Lion applications using its latest technologies and capabilities.” Apple calls their programmers engineers and non-Apple programmers developers, for some stupid reason.
Stupid?
Check out their job descriptions. Their qualifications go beyond writing applications. http://www.apple.com/jobs/us/corporate.html#applications
“There are two very broad stages in creating a computer program – designing the program (i.e., deciding what it will do) and coding the program (i.e. writing the instructions for the computer to follow). Developers are responsible for the entire “life cycle” of a computer program – gathering requirements from the user, creating a project plan, writing code, and testing – whereas programmers may simply be handed a task within a project and told to write the code to perform the task.”
“Computer engineering, also called computer systems engineering, is a discipline that integrates several fields of electrical engineering and computer science required to develop computer systems. Computer engineers usually have training in electronic engineering, software design, and hardware-software integration instead of only software engineering or electronic engineering. Computer engineers are involved in many hardware and software aspects of computing, from the design of individual microprocessors, personal computers, and supercomputers, to circuit design. This field of engineering not only focuses on how computer systems themselves work, but also how they integrate into the larger picture.”
And part of their courses required ‘programing’, e.g., my nephew is studying robotic engineering and this semester, he is studying C++ and Obj-C.
My head is in a cloud, right now …… An iCloud …..
