“Apple has huge plans for WWDC 2014, which begins with a mammoth two-hour keynote speech on June 2,” Jonny Evans writes for Computerworld.
There’s plenty of evidence to support this:
• The two-hour keynote
• The date: Keynote, June 2; 7-1 stock split, June 9.
• Apple hasn’t yet announced the content of dozens and dozens of WWDC sessions. The company is being blatant about this, giving these sessions names like, “No comment”, “This one is sealed”, “To be announced”, “Shhh, can’t tell you”, “You’ll never guess”.
• Click on any of them and Apple says: “The title and description of this session will be revealed after Keynote on Monday June 2. Check back to view the updates schedule.
Much more in the full article here.
The first letters of titles of the sessions begin with these letters: I W A T C H
The problem is that these letters are also contained: D O Y N S
I don’t have the WWDC app, but can anybody confirm or add more letters to the mix?
There are far too many to list out, and it seems about half of them are labeled in this way, many of them repeat titles. I don’t see anything hidden that starts with an H.
Clever!
Intriguing, Captain.
This is when articles change from “Apples lack of innovation” to “the competition have a lot of catching up to do”
First letter of each classified Session for each day can anyone see a trend?

Trust me: the NSA is working on cracking this. They’ll be done by lunch time.
Let’s hope these announcements and plans embarrass/silence the disingenuous innovation doomsayers (who else has innovated and changed the tech world more than Apple like EVER?) for good.
Yes but they don’t invent driverless cars (even if you need a guy with a red flag in front to make it safe… except for him) and stupid geek glasses (which do very little other than make you look like a glass hole) so they aren’t innovative any more.
“Yes but they don’t invent driverless cars”… Well, to be accurate, neither does Google. Scientists were working extensively on driverless cars long before Google got into the game. And unlike the iPhone, which utterly changed a huge industry and gave us multi-use computers in our pockets, the Google driverless car does not bring anything revolutionary to the game.
Yes true Audi have been giving brief demonstrations for years amongst others. The only innovative thing about Google is its PR department.
Don’t worry. I heard that Microsoft is hard at work on developing carless drivers.
Facts can’t silence the “disingenuous innovation doomsayers” because they are “disingenuous”.
Good point. Where there’s a disingenuous will, there’s a silly way.
I could certainly be wrong, but I’m pretty sure every WWDC I attended began with a two-hour keynote. If true, I wonder why the exclamation that this year’s is “mammoth”?
Do they normally have so many blank sessions out of interest? There looks to me like something new is being presented to me to keep so much hidden from developers.
It is actually no different than any other WWDC. Keynote length and sealed sessions to be revealed only on the first day – all pretty standard. There will probably be a lot of interesting sessions about new technologies but don’t buy into hysteria. The only “mammoth” thing here is the hype of this article’s author.
You are correct, they’re usually about two hours.
Well every Keynote I’ve ever seen has been 90 minutes. Maybe you’re tacking on 30 minutes on the front for… lining up and shmoozing?
Keynotes are online at the developer center:
2010: 1 hour 52 minutes
2011: 1 hour 58 minutes
2012: 1 hour 54 minutes
2013: 1 hour 58 minutes

They’ve cleared the lot, now the REAL MOTHERSHIP is landing.
If big plans entail Tim Cook getting a full body wax, his hands and toenails French manicured and painted with clear, and his stretched out, poop-shooter bleached lily white, then YES, Apple has big plans for WWDC.
However, if you are relying on Tim Cook to innovate hardware or software as long as he is CEO of Apple, you might as well die now and go to hell in a Chinese handbasket… because that’s just not going to happen!
Go home. Why are you even here?
Well Orandy…I just made about $10,000 today on Apple Stock and I expect to make more in the next few weeks. You are going to see a wave of innovation that will shock you and the rest of the world. Think Apple can’t keep secrets? You are wrong about that. Think they can’t innovate…utter and complete bullshit (the new Mac Pro virtually DEFINES innovation if you really LOOK at it. We are about to see the next wave of personal computing led AGAIN by Apple. Tim Cook is NOT a genius. Neither was Steve Jobs. But both Tim and Steve and and were VERY smart, strong willed, exceptional professionals at the very top of their game. Don’t. Doubt. It.
What’s it like in your self abuse cave?
With issues like yours I bet you don’t get evolution either.
With MS big push with Adobe in Photoshop for the new surface I think one of the things Apple will introduce is Aperture X and encourage developers to write plugins for it. The lower price MacBook Air seams to have MS worried. This will not be the big next thing WWDC, but a good way to get things started. I think a new faster Aperture with the ability to rapidly expand and a cheeper price will have a big buzz going in the pro photo community.
Hope it’s not like Final Cut Pro X…. Apple lost ALL of it’s pro video and film editors with that move. To this day FCP X cannot be used for most broadcasters needs. It’s really terrible.
Absolute claptrap. I mean, trolling happens, sure, but why not keep up? Larry Jordan watches this stuff, used NLE editing tools professionally — and seems pretty convinces FCPX is fit for purpose. Get back under your bridge. I’m not giving you a silver penny.
I hope the signage will be in gold this year. It’ll be a great innovation.
This year’s signage should be:
“WWDC 2014: It’s about Time”
I hope Cook uses one of the sessions to announce that the apple email program finally can be used as a reliable IMAP client with Mavericks.
