WWDC Day 1
Posted by Ray @ 11:42 pmUpdate (later in the day):
The security here is so tight, even the dog has to wear a WWDC tag.
Damn cute, that.
Update (just after the keynote):
It’s official; Apple is moving to the Intel platform. Steve Jobs said so, heh. Briefly: 1) Apple has been developing OS X simultaneously for the Intel platform all the while; 2) Developers can compile a “universal binary” to run on both Intel and PowePC platforms; 3) Even if you don’t have an Intel-specific program, Intel-based macs can transparently emulate PowerPC programs (through “Rosetta”).
More thoughts on this later; I gotta pop down to Calvin Klein for a bit, and then lunch.
I am indeed enjoying myself in San Francisco. The weather here is a fantastic 20-odd degrees celsius (that’s with the sun up) and that more than makes up for any inadequacies I feel from being in Brobdingnag. I could write about the Muir Woods, or Al Catraz, or the Napa/Sonoma Wine Valley, or how I got lost in some ulu part of the city, but I won’t - for I am here at the Moscone Convention Center (must use American spelling) patiently awaiting Steve Job’s keynote speech.
The biggest anticipated announcement, of course, are the rumours of Apple’s pending move to the Intel platform. We’ll see how that goes down when Steve Jobs talks later.
Some really cool stuff has already happened, though. Yesterday was Student Sunday, and we had a special guest speaker - the creator of the delicious library! Wil Shipley was really entertaining. I find myself jealous of some of the other participants, who got to clone the delicious library using core data… …
…um, okay, I shall stop geeking out on everybody now.
The line is moving! Updates to come.
