![]() We actually asked the admins to see if we were #1, but r/holup has everyone beat with 216k players. We are making it for community engagement.ġ16k people have participated in the tournament, which shows a massive engagement with this New Reddit feature, and only tells us that people like this sort of stuff. We aren't doing predictions to get attention or anything along those lines. After WWDC happens, tournament will be closed and scores will be tallied. How about you? If you are a Mac user have you been following the rumors and will you be following the keynote live.This is will be the last question of the prediction tournament. All I know is at 1 pm EST on Monday I will probably have one of the many tech sites who will be live blogging the keynote open and playing in the background. Finally there will be an in-depth analysis clearly showing that Apple is falling apart because Tim Cook’s hair was out-of-place or his shirt was untucked or a slide didn’t work perfectly during the keynote. Third the various tech sites will spend at least a week after WWDC talking about where Apple failed and why. The second is there will also be at least one rumor that will not come true because of a last-minute hiccup. The first is that there will probably be at least one surprise. How many of these rumors will come true, only Apple knows, however there are a couple of things I can guarantee. I do hope the SDK rumor is true, the current Apple TV has so much potential if only Apple would open it up to developers. There are even a few who expect the mythical stand alone Apple TV to be introduced at WWDC. If this happens, some people see it as a step toward the release of the mythical stand alone Apple TV. This would open it up to third-party applications. The Boy Genus site says that Apple will release an SDK for the current Apple TV to third-party developers. Most people don’t expect the new iPhone to be introduced at WWDC, although out of focus pictures of iPhone 5 parts keep showing up on the Web. All these rumors have their plus and minuses, which Techcrunch does a good job at articulating in the post Which Apple WWDC Rumors Are Most Likely to Come True. Some of the upgrades that are rumored are the introduction of USB 3.0, the employment of Intel’s Ivy Bridge CPUs, retina display in a notebook, and the 17-inch Macbook being discontinue. Most people also expect new hardware to be released during the week of WWDC including new Macbook Airs, Mac Pros and MacBook Pros. Since Mobile Me is shutting down at the end of June it would not be surprising to see an enhanced photo sharing option under iCloud to replace it. Some people expect iCloud to be upgraded to include new web apps including notes and reminders. I would love it if they would add a clear all box to reminders, so I didn’t have to click on each section. Also under iOs 6, A Do not Disturb, mode for reminders appears be coming. I have to admit being an owner of an iPad, but not an iPhone I am looking forward to trying Siri out, although I am not sure what I will use it for. This is most likely just for the current iPad and iPad 2, but not for the original iPad. ![]() These are things we know are going to be introduced at WWDC unless something unforeseen happens, but what about the unconfirmed rumors. Apple will probably also announce its own mapping solution under iOs 6 removing its dependence on Google maps. I think this makes sense, social networks have never been Apple’s strength. ![]() It appears that Apple has given up creating its own social network and instead is concentrating on integrating already existing social networks into its ecosystem. Even Tim Cook has admitted that Ping, which was Apple latest attempt to make iTunes social has been less than successful. It is rumored that Facebook integration will be introduced, however that has not been confirmed. Another point of emphasis will be the integration of social media including Twitter. If you read the Apple about WWDC page it is also clear that they will be emphasizing the retina display and how to take advantage of it. We already know that both Mountain Lion and iOS 6 will be front and center in both the keynote and the various sessions. It is for both iOs and OsX developers There will be sessions on everything from developing graphical applications including game, media rich books, video and audio application to sessions for Web kit developers and how to make money by using StoreKit. WWDC is a week-long event with over a 100 sessions of which the Keynote is just one of them.
