Could this be what we’ve all been waiting for?? An invitation for developers to create apps for APPLE TV??
let’s hope. they’re going to be streaming the opening presentation live, so maybe they have something substantial to say.
Selling out in 5, 4, 3…
Um, this is a lottery so there’s nothing to “sell out”.
To defend Rorschach, the “random ticket selection” part could be in the second line of the headline depending on font size and browser width. Reading at least half a headline is far above the national average.
The logo colors are similar to a television test pattern and the shape of the squares resemble the shape of the Apple TV.
very observant!
Also, the colors look like Easter decorations, the ugly skinny font is akin to iOS7, and the low resolution dot matrix style for the image befits Apple’s recent trend to dumb down its OS graphics instead of taking advantage of the amazing display & GPU technology available today. Therefore, the WWDC may see Apple revealing a somewhat illegible pastel shit interface that looks like the something an easter creature would have barfed up instead of a compelling realistic GUI that inspires users.
I can’t see it, but my friend can. It is a Stereogram. If you use the parallel viewing method it looks like you can reach in and touch it. He describes it almost being like a hologram.
That’s a pretty cool observation. The effect is fairly pronounced on an iPad.
I’m going out on a limb here to say, this might be Yellow box-Blue box revisited.
After studying Apple’s postcard and its by-line, I see a yellow box with a blue stripe down the middle. Yellow is absent in the rainbow of color which to me, as an artist, indicates we are seeing all colors of the spectrum except Yellow, which means the box is yellow.
Rhapsody’s Yellow/Blue box was the stepping stone to OS X from PowerPC architecture. Yellow box was OS Xs native object oriented API framework. The Blue box operated PPC applications in a window.
Could this be the moment Apple unveils Copland? The OS that was supposed to follow Rhapsody, but never made it out of the lab?
Copland for iOS and OS X hybrid?
Copland could be a new developers API library for iOS applications to run in an OS X environment.
Anyone expecting to play their iTunes games in an App Store (Mac) environment has to wait for Apple to write the code, if its developers are going to change the world.
I wonder which OS, iOS or OS X, becomes windowed? If we see an TV, it will most likely be iOS being windowed and OS X dubbed the native OS.
Could iPads receive a firmware update enabling App Store products to run in a windowed environment? Will we be able to display iPhone games on our HDTVs?
Apple has a remarkable reputation for transitions between platforms, and because they operate in a vertical market selling the whole experience, anything is possible.
Let the rumormongering begin!!!
Way ahead of ya’.
It will be neat to hear Tim Cook explain why most people do not have their MacPro’s (available by 4th quarter 2013).
He’ll say they had no idea that so many professionals were holding out for an updated Apple workstation; that their information vastly underrepresented the passion factor; that the new design and specs overwhelmed more pro users than they had anticipated based on replacement cycles. He’ll comment at length on the importance of getting critical applications like Logic and Final Cut ready before releasing the new Mac Pro; then he’ll reveal the astonishing sales numbers, numbing the lips of even hardened naysayers.
Wow. This feels like the Glastonbury ticket purchase.
One can only hope ColdPlay are consciously uncoupled from this event.
