WWDC
The Apple Worldwide Developers Conference, or the WWDC, is fast approaching and the rumors are also flying about just as rapidly. Especially about the new OS X.
When Apple announced its new line of products at the World Wide Developers Conference Keynote Monday, developers and tech reporters had a lot of new information to sort through. Now that there's been some time for reflection on what was said, what was understated, and what wasn't said at all, there are a few unexpected consequences, intended by Apple or not, that appear to be emerging from the post-keynote fog. And some of these unforeseen outcomes may affect the jailbreaking community, cellular carriers, high-tech professionals, and Apple's future alike.
Apple recently revealed the next big update for its iOS platform, iOS 7 to much fanfare. Here's what Apple wants you to know:
When Apple's Phil Schiller introduced the new Mac Pro at WWDC Monday, the crowd was enraptured. Twice the processing power, twice the graphics processors, twice the I/O speed, twice the everything - and all in a sleek looking black cylinder. Then he showed the new Mac Pro next to the older model, last updated in 2010. It looked a tenth the size, and there were audible gasps in the audience.
When Apple was about to unveil their brand new version of their operating system, OS X, many did not know what to expect. All of the anticipation prior to Apple's World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC) had been focused on the tech giant's impending mobile operating system, iOS 7, so Apple had a chance to wow the crowd, and the tech industry, with their upgrades to OS X. Despite a totally new name for the OS, and some great changes that bring even closer together Apple's desktop and mobile devices, OS X Mavericks doesn't exactly leave the traditional OS X behind.
