“Apple is working to prepare San Francisco’s Moscone Center West for the company’s 2011 Worldwide Developer Conference to be held next week,” Daniel Eran Dilger reports for AppleInsider.
“Inside, a huge banner depicts Mac OS X Lion, iOS 5, and iCloud as being the three components adding up for WWDC 2011,” Dilger reports. “Additional banners hung from the ceiling are still under wraps.”
Dilger reports, “In previous years, Apple has kept some of these banners under wraps until the Keynote presentation.”

That cloud has a silver lining!
Also, iCloud icon cloud shape is same as iDisk cloud shape.. Hmm..
You’re not lion!
Or a “Silver Lioning”
let the boos and hisses begin…
😀
The icon picture is a cloud. Who would have guessed?
That logo is not new. It’s the same one on iDisk. Maybe a different color or rainbow behind it but the cloud is the same shape.
iPhone 4S?
no hardware. apple knows how much the stock can dip/grow after keynotes. hence the big pr push to specify no hardware.
Wall Street doesn’t get software. They want to see things from Apple without giving much thought to what makes those things work so well. This event will likely announce some stunning new advantages for Apple, but without pretty objects, stockholders and analysts will feel disappointed.
redmond start your copiers again and stay tuned to MDN to get all the details from WWDC

Why does the Lion make me think of MGM and the Wizard of Oz?
Lions and 5’s and clouds, oh my!
He who controls the Spice, controls the universe!
WWDC will be cloudy and raining 5 cats?
It’s a cumulus. Surely that means something of consequence.
Or not.
Absolutely.
It means cirrus clouds are hard to draw on square buttons.
Will Apple rebrand MobileMe yet again to become iCloud or will iCloud just be a service of MobileMe?
I already have @mac addresses from the .Mac years and newer @me addresses. Don’t know if I want @icloud. If anything, I prefer @mac because it shows you’re a Mac user.
+1
If I’m not mistaken all of those email addresses are interchangeable between @mac and @me. In other words, macinscott@mac.com and macinscott@me.com will both work for the same account.
Negative.
I just tested it and it does not work. Mail comes back undeliverable.
Positive.
I just tested it and it works just fine. As it should – I’ve not changed to @me.com because I thought it sounded silly and have not had any issues receiving mail in the past few years.
I agree with you about the @me label. I have stuck with the @mac address because the me seems silly.
I think you had to have the .mac account when it was active.
those people can use both, someone like me that got mobileme last year… can’t.
Anyone that had .mac at the time of the changeover got to keep that option. Any new accounts (or names) only get the .me option.
However, try sending mail using the iPad and your return address is .me, not .mac! I can’t figure out how to change this and I’ve already been asked which email is mine to people I’ve sent email to.
daddysteve@mac.com
StevenGeorges@mac.com
– iPhone 5 = 🙁
+iPhone 5 = 🙂
Just promise not to post your complaints online, k?
At least the icon is not a weiner!
Must be for Mac.com people. My Me.com addy didn’t work for Mac.com. So a one way street. Mac.com can use me.com but not the other way around?
The iCloud icon looks like a Rhorschach version of the old iSync icon.
That’s right. It looks like iSync, in that it is an engraved metal button. I think that is very telling—
mobile me and iSync combined–just a not a sucking iSync—
this implies that your devices are now syncing/storing/backing up to the cloud–
Apple’s Dropbox. and lala and ?
finally wireless iOS backups and syncing and updating.
Notice NO MobileMe icon. Once again, Apple screws over the MobileMe service!!
MobileMe is great…EXCEPT iDisk.
Take that out back and put it down! Terrible product to associate with Apple. DROPBOX buries it. I hope the iCloud can give what DBX delivers flawlessly.
