This entry will be updated continually, as the conference develops over the next few days.
Today is the opening day for Apple’s World Wide Developers Conference. And while it can be hard to see exactly what new things Apple might be bringing to the light of day, considering the various gadgets and services already put out there in recent months, there is at least one thing we know is coming. The first preview of OS X 10.4, codenamed Tiger.
Many other rumors are abound, as always, the most plausible of which is a range of new G5-like displays. But so far everything is possible. This is the first photo I have seen from the convention:
Other titles for these posters read “Introducing Longhorn”, “Redmond, start your photocopiers” and “Redmond, we have a problem”. Don’t you just love the intrigue?
Unfortunately Apple has officially stated that the event will not be broadcast live. Too bad since I love seeing their events, but then again, I won’t be home tonight anyway.
Update: The keynote, the meat and potatoes of WWDC for us non-OS X-coders, will start soon. As I said, it isn’t streamed, but you can follow the event minute by minute at MacRumors. I’ll be catching up with some good friends in the meanwhile, so I won’t be back for a few hours.
PS: I updated the about page a little.
Update: You can view Steve Job’s Keynote in streaming Quicktime.
Update: There’s also a WWDC gallery from Apple.
Update: Safari 1.3, which was seeded to developers this week, is very very fast!
Update: Daring Fireball has a great runthru of the whole Dashboard vs. Konfabulator debacle.
Where have they officially stated that it won’t be broadcast? At the show? It makes no sense not to broadcast WWDC, this is a horrible move on Apple’s part.
I agree, i cannot see why they would not broadcast the keynote. They allow news and media into the event – so theres nothing that we all cant see.
Dissapointing thats for sure.
Here’s a source. Yeah, I agree, it’s annoying and a poor move.
They can always hit on microsoft and get away with it. And microsoft keeps on copying apple, and—-what else, get away with it! :)
You look like a friggin’ light bulb! lol
Apple has posted a QuickTime stream of Steve Job’s Keynote:

Spotlight rules!
I’m writing this on Mac OS X running on Windows XP, finally got the network to work :D
Site is looking good in Safari.
I know ;)
How’s it running?
Pretty slow, but better than OS 8 did on my old P133 Mhz. I’m still amazed that it works as good as it does. Just waiting for sound, usb and firewire support. More speed would also be nice, but that’s coming. They’re going to use the GPU to speed up screen rendering in later releases.
