I'm winning!

 

[amnesiac]

Dark theme.

Wish it was on iOS 8 though.

 

[mohsinkhan]

How does one get into the ios beta? Is it devs only?

That speed... mine is saying 12 days remaining, lol.

 

[Squalor]

Yes.

Although:

Anyone new who wants to give the beta a crack, I can probably add you. PM me with UDID. Free, but PayPal donations always welcome. ;P

But it's 5am and I'm going to sleep. :0

 

[mrklaw]

Pretty interesting conference. Feels like they're bringing ios and OSX even closer together in how they look, and the new OSX photos app seems quite smile and ios like.

Loved several things
- continuity looks like it'd be very handy
- iCloud drive looks great (hopefully the extensions allows Dropbox use too - saw onedrive in there)
- extensions
- metal. We'll see just how much real world performance increase there is though - draw calls is the thing pulled out for mantle too, but what about other more general improvements?
- 3rd party keyboards is huge for me personally. The one I have on windows phone is practically psychic

Skimmed the swift user guide off of Google cache. You intro to programming folks are better off learning Python first.

I think you were looking at The Swift Parallel Scripting Language, not Apple's Swift.

[Live Free or Die]

Since I got added to the iOS7 beta from someone here on NeoGaf last year, I'll have to wait for someone to post the iOS8 beta file online so I can download it, correct?

 

[mohsinkhan]

Yes.

Although:

Oh okay thanks, if anyone wants to invite me I would really appreciate it!

 

[ShowDog]

I just finished watching the video. Wow. Forstall am cry.

 

[Technosteve]

is it worth my time to install xcode 6? will i have issues running two versions of xcode at once?

THE JELLY IS OFF THE ROOF.

Off the charts, through the roof

(hmph!)

Funny how the http://swift-lang.org/ website is getting bombed cause of the announcement.

BIGGEST MEGATON: Full-screen contacts look to be back in iOS 8.

 

[jts]

What are 10.10's base specs? Can't seem to find them.

 

[Thezez]

Though it'll quickly get lost, I'll post again that if you're wanting you UDID registered for the iOS8 beta, flick me a PM. Same deal as hirokazu, free, and any paypal donations will go back into the dev fund to keep you all going another year!

 

[Hari Seldon]

I wonder how many people are going to be learning the wrong thing lol. Some totally niche academic language is going to have thousands of app flippers scrambling to learn it haha.

 

[infiniteloop]

What are 10.10's base specs? Can't seem to find them.

this is for OS X Yosemite server, so probably the same:

To install OS X Server 4.0 Developer Preview, you need one of these computers:" "•"iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)"
"•"MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)"
"•"MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)"
"•"MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)"
"•"Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)" "
•"Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)" "
•"Xserve (Early 2009)"


Your Mac needs:"
"•"OS X Yosemite"
"•"At least 2 GB of RAM "
"•"At least 10 GB of available disk space (50 GB if you wish to use Caching Server)" "


looks like the same as 10.9

(hmph!)

what if actually meant off the roof?


hmph

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

ANy place I can get in on iOS8 beta with someone that has spots?

 

[Squalor]

Continuity is seriously going to rule my world.

Phone calls on my Mac that come to my iPhone? Yes, please.

All texts on my Mac that come to my iPhone? Yes, please.

Seamlessly switching apps from iPhone to Mac to iPad to iPhone? Yes, yes, a thousand times, yes!

 

[victreeb3l]

Is it worth getting the beta for Yosemite or should I just wait until it launches?

I remember last year Mavericks beta was really buggy and A LOT happened between beta and release.

 

[TheAbsolution]

Just signed up for the Yosemite beta.

 

[belvedere]

So with iCloud Drive, can I (from a Windows based PC) use a browser to view my fucking photos?

 

[Stumpokapow]

going to fold conversation back into the main WWDC thread at around 4PM eastern.

yes

 

[Hoo-doo]

Wait, is Tim Cook wearing Nike Frees?

That's rad as fuck.

 

[brianmcdoogle]

Since when do iOS developers get the Mac betas? So cool to be getting iOS 8 and Yosemite today!

 

[Ashhong]

BIGGEST MEGATON: Full-screen contacts look to be back in iOS 8.

Yes! One of the main reasons why I haven't updated my ios 7

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

Heheh oops, I wasn't sure if it was the same thing but Wikipedia linked to it so it must have been correct, right???

 

[Deku Tree]

Beta sign-up page: https://appleseed.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/

Signed up. Thanks. Beta may fill up fast.

 

[Interfectum]

Biggest Megaton: Apple is finally opening up shit for developers on iOS (other apps, parts of the OS, parts of the phone, etc)

No more control freak Steve Jobs stopping this, let the developers actually do some shit.

 

[Thezez]

Since today. Which is freaking amazing.

 

[Mr.Mike]

Does anyone have a video of the swift demonstration. All I can find is the video introducing swift and some shitty video from someone sitting at the conference.

Apple's ecosystem turning into "toxic hellstew" confirmed, haha.

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

Got signed up for the OS X beta program.

Giving devs freedom != fragmented garbage

 

[Barzul]

This is the year I finally ditch PC I think.

 

[Red]

I'm hoping for a silent refresh on iMacs soon. I need a new computer.

 

[TacticalFox88]

That and they seriously need to update the Thunderbolt display. It's falling behind some recent monitors that are coming out.

 

[Squalor]

Just a timely, referential joke.

I'm beyond excited.

 

[deltatheta]

Seems like everything they announced is about developer lock-in, especially Swift and Metal. (while it's true that Objective C has always been an Apple oddity, at least you could use C as a lingua franca.)

If there was ever any doubt, Apple is the new Microsoft.

Don't do it unless you have a computer you can afford to lose.

 

[Social]

iOS8 is installing on my iPod Touch 5th Gen now, almost done

 

[victreeb3l]

Don't do it unless you have a computer you can afford to lose.

Ack. Okay cool, I'll wait.

Woo, my MB makes the cut. In for another year.

Interactive Playground looks almost exactly what Bret Victor showed in this presentation two years ago:

Bret Victor - Inventing on Principle

He has also previously worked at Apple. Probably not a coincidence.

Edit: Actually this was more impressive than I remembered.

 

[jstripes]

OS X preview releases seem to get more stable each year.

(Knocks on wood.)

 

[thenexus6]

If anyone could post OS X wallpapers if they come across them i'd appreciate it!

 

[LeleSocho]

Whoever has the chance of trying it, can you tell me if the dark mode in Yosemite extends to the whole UI or just dock and bar?
Thank you.

 

[Majine]

I think they really struck a good balance on the icons in Yosemite. Not all the way iOS7 but they keep their desktop integrity.
