No-one commenting on the data source list for new expanded Spotlight Search including Wikipedia and Bing - but no mention of Google? This strikes me as big news...

Lot's of deeply integrated expansion, too much upon which to comment. The biggest shock I had was seeing an incoming phone call directed to and answered from the mac. This means your linked iWatch will notify you of a call, and let you answer a-la Dick Tracy. The presenters mentioned "from across the room" several times with regard to the linked cloud of iDevices. The upcoming hardware must really have some great battery life.

Beard's record unblemished then. I stand corrected. Not sure why The Loop doesn't put out author info in the home page. No kidding it took me forever to figure out the UI of The Loop

And the FUD begins...The Street is first out of the gate. Not going to bother to post the article or even the link but you will get all you need from the title: Apple Desperately Copies Google's 2008 Features but Passes on Innovation

The device won't be the focal point; its just a conduit for the informaton following you around or that you are creating and moving on to others.

Yes appleaddict, that was indeed the same person CNBC had on on earnings day. If you recall, he was much, much worse then. Today was tame compared to earnings day comments. I'm guessing that's why they sought him and had him appear - it's just how they operate as we well know.

The "Bicycle for the Mind" just keeps getting better. That's the central analogy at Apple, still, and it drives everything they do.

The idiot with the bun was a professor from Columbia Business School, Moshe Cohen (called the conference "boring") Might as well have an art professor cover a developer conference as a B-school prof. Here's an idea: Have a Computer Science professor on to explain the significance of Swift. A colleague of mine teaches an app-writing course in XCode. He might be a bit more knowledgeable about the importance of Apple shipping an entirely new programming language. This tweet about sums it up: An Horace one-liner describes WWDC perfectly: BTW, Android developers use Java. Yeah, the operating system that Google borrowed without consent from Sun/Oracle? The one that is very slow because it is virtualized (runs in a runtime environment on top of a kernel)? Reeeeally innovative. And yeah, as someone pointed out this morning, Tizen is an iceberg for the USS Android. Final Tweet. Gotta love WWDC attendees as young as 13:

Looks likr The Beard is still solid. The post in qyestion was written by Shawn King: It's Dalrymple's site. There was no attribution on the page that I saw, so unless otherwise indicated, it was The Beard. I think he F'd up without better disclosure this was someone else's comment, one that he could have edited, deleted or poured cold water on, even if he had to lift his heavy fingers to type "Nope." It it takes a sleuth to divine the author of a post, then it's too much work.

Horace has the same situation, though in his case he's almost always the author - not so much The Loop these days.

My last comment on the subject: If it was so obvious this wasn't Dalrymple, where were you? All of us thought it was The Beard, and many of us read his site daily. At the very least, he allowed the perception Apple was going to announce hardware. Of all the pundits with inside contacts at Apple, the Beard failed us this time.
On another front, Apple pulling the plug on WWDC reminds me of when Apple did the same to MacWorld. Apple just removed the requirement to deliver product on an artificial timetable. Release it when it's ready.

Maybe it's more a matter of Apple talking product if it's of interest to developers and it'll be ready soon (Macs) or within 3-6 months (Mac Pro-scale announcement/change). Or, if it's super-important to keep secret, Apple will just not mention it until shortly before it ships.
Apple will continue demoing new iOS and OS X versions on a 12-month development cycle until they don't, and they know they have 12 months to build the next iPhone or iPad between generations. It's quite an intricate dance as far as iOS and iOS hardware goes - unlike Mac you really can't afford to delay, though I suppose Apple could occasionally delay a product generation a couple months if it absolutely had to. For now, what do I know but it sure doesn't look like it's going to.

Lots more to come this year...music, Andrea, hardware,

Andrea? You mean Angela Ahrendts? Now you are seeing a sad example of why there is a mandatory retirement age for starship captains. And yeah, that Dave Mark guy on The Loop is kind of a dick, in addition to his veracity issue.
