Apple WWDC Discussion Thread

[rockymtnhigh]

Please use this thread for discussion of Apple's WWDC, the developer's conference that begins today. Any news items related to it can also be included in it. We are trying to clean up the tech forums a bit. Less threads, more discussion.

Thank you!

I have my AppleTV setup and ready to go.

Now question is if they make iOS 8 beta available for download... do I grab it today or not?

An annual dilemma. How about you do it, and if it doesn't screw up your iPhone, the rest of us will do the same. You know, take one for the team.

OSX 10.10.... Yosemite. They should have stuck with "Weed."

Apple is copying SatelliteGuys with a default look and a Dark look!

I am going to sue!

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I think it's kind of sad that the main new feature they are talking about are the colors.

Not surprising coming from a guy named RockyMtnHIGH

Funny.


So far, a lot of style changes, not a lot new in substance, except in Notifications. Of course, its not like the OS needs much

Spotlight looks like it is becoming Siri; although some of the features in it are stuff I use in Alfred, my app launcher.

I like Maildrop

Looks like iCloud Drive is Dropbox for Mac.

The mail stuff looks very good.

 

[rockymtnhigh]

Safari looks good too.

I like the markup feature

 

[rockymtnhigh]

Markup looks great.

Continuity... iPhone, iPad, Mac... smooth transitions.
This is what I already like about the Apple world. Airdrop to iOS sounds useful. Handoff sounds cool too. Switch from Mac to iPad seamlessly.

The downside is when I am at work, I doubt it will work. The institutional intranet never lets me see my iPad.

Text messaging to non-iOS! Very very sweet!!

Wow I LOVE this Handoff feature!
