To all Mac enthusiasts and curious by-passers, please be on your desktop/laptop with macrumorslive on your browser to follow almost real-time updates from the World Wide Developers Conference [WWDC] in San Francisco, where Steve Jobs will begin the keynote presentation at 10 a.m. GMT -7, which is 1 a.m. GMT +8 [Kuala Lumpur] today / tonight. 3G iPhone? Facelift for MacBooks and MacBook Pros? .Mac revamp? Steve Jobs in a different outfit?!
While waiting, I shall be finishing up the fourth part of 'My MacBook Pro'.
Update: Here's what the both of me think of WWDC. Don't take us too seriously.
A: Hi!
Q: Hello.
Q: So what did you think of the Apple event thing?
A: It was quite a wow thing, especially with the iPhone SDK, although I am not too keen on MobileMe.
Q: What's wrong with MobileMe?
A: For starters, the name and the design of the logo.
Q: It's in blue... and... it looks like a cloud.... and....
A: Yeah. It looks like Skype or something. Represents something fun and lively and... all those positivity.
A: It doesn't look like an Apple product. Blue is never an Apple colour.
Q: I don't remember the last time the colour blue represented Apple...
A: And it looks like it's designed for people who... loves life.
A: Who loves their family and friends, go hiking, post recipes of spinach quiche and lemongrass lemonade, keep lunch appointments... basically sounding like a fun-loving businessman on-the-go or sociable housewife. Or something.
Q: ...
A: ...
A: And it has completely replaced .Mac!!! I want a .mac as a part of my website's name!
Q: But you don't even have a .Mac site, other than that one time you took a trial and had your site named cathoderaytreason.
A: It still sounds better than a me.com! Me. All about me. All about my life. All about the dates I have, the things I need to get fixed, the meetings I have to attend, the lakes I want to boat, the list of Free Trade products I can buy from the grocer's...
Q: You sound like a non-person person.
A: I have all the right in the world to do so!
Q: No one cares.
A: Shut the hell up. Another thing I am not digging is that... what the hell does 'Push' mean?! Push e-mail, Push contacts, Push calendar...
Q: It means that anything [alerts, notifications, changes etc.] that comes into an application will go up to the 'cloud' [server] and then pushed to any other device [iPhone, desktop, iPod Touch...] that is connected with me.com.
A: Stop sounding smarter than me.
A: Oh look. Me.com automatically directs to the Apple site. Before this it had a link to Snappville.
Q: I'm not listening.
A: Then I'll stop talking.
Q: Good.
...
A: I'm watching the WWDC keynote right now. Well, not really watching and more of hearing because the visual only updates like once a minute.
Q: That's really slow.
A: That's what you get using a mobile broadband modem.
A: Anyway, iPhone SDK seems to be a pretty big thing. It's like... the planet we live in. You have no idea how big it is.
A: Especially the part when the guy shows the medical stuff... shows that iPhone doesn't exist 'just for fun'.
Q: After this, no one will use a Blackberry.
A: But 2. megapixels camera? This isn't 2004!
A: I don't know why I am not convinced that the iPhone 3G is worth buying.
A: With all of those features and apps, I could be on the phone all day and not care about anything else. That's not how I want to live my life.
Q: Right.
A: Unless you're a scientist or someone who is really important and matter to everyone else, an iPhone is just an elaborate communicating device.
A: I'd rather have a brick phone.
Q: Say what you want but iPhone is better than you or anyone else, except Steve Jobs, of course.
Q: Steve Jobs looked skinnier than ever.
A: I want to be like him.
