Description
- We'll be guests on the WWDC live episode of The Talk Show: Tuesday, June 3, 6–9 PM. Get tickets here ASAP! John will be taking a plane... for you.
- Follow-up:
- Which is faster: installing Showbot or reimplementing it?
- PHP isn't faster than Javascript, voiding Marco's accidental argument in the last episode.
- Node.js uses CommonJS, not AMD. ECMAScript also adds formal module support, which es6-module-transpiler lets you use today.
- To the great surprise of nobody except John, iPhones come with earbuds, and those earbuds come with clickers.
- To the great surprise of nobody, including John, the Bluetooth-pairing interface in a car was terrible, and both Marco and Casey missed an obscure reference.
- iOS games that support physical game controllers must also work without them.
- If the "iPhone 6" comes in two sizes, which do you buy?
- Possibility of resolution scaling modes.
- Would the cameras be different? (Marco on The Talk Show, starting around 01:26:00).
- WWDC product-announcement predictions:
- New MacBook Airs or a 12" Retina MacBook Air? (Intel's Broadwell delay)
- Macworld's slow SSD speeds in the new Airs may just be from different SSD manufacturers.
- New Apple TV hardware or software?
- The Apple TV 3's CPU was originally a dual-core A5 with one die disabled, but not anymore.
- The iPod Touch still has an A5 LOL.
- There may not be any new hardware announced at WWDC, just like previous WWDCs in 2007, 2008, 2010, and 2011.
- New sensors to be taken advantage of, like Pedometer++ did with the M7 last year.
- Craig Hockenberry on Apple wearables
- Wearables, sensors, and watches in fashion and reality.
- Bringing the new Mac Pro's dark-glossy-aluminum finish to more Pro hardware?
- Retina Thunderbolt Display?
- The Magic Mouse. Yes, we really talked about this.
- New MacBook Airs or a 12" Retina MacBook Air? (Intel's Broadwell delay)
- Drawing conclusions from the "To Be Announced" sessions in the WWDC schedule.
- WWDC predictions for Mac OS X 10.10:
- Just a visual refresh, or notable improvements to the core OS
