Yeah, the month of conferences is up to a great start. E3 and Google I/O, let's see what you got!
I agree. I wonder when it'll appear. I'm guessing when the new iPhones are announced, it can't be big enough to warrant it's own show.
Overall very impressive, and a good example of why the competition between Android and iOS is really healthy - a lot of the changes they've made have been directly inspired by the success of their competition, and I hope Google does the same at i/o at the end of the month.
Awesome stuff! Great time to be a developer or a device user in general, shit is bumping.
As an Android user, I was very impressed, and I want Google to really blow me away as both a developer and a user at i/o.
What I want after seeing this conference -
1. A better tie into my mac or windows desktop.
2. A new/different programming language (I HATE YOU JAVA).
3. That extensibility api - Android can -kind- of do this, but not at this level and not this smoothly, give me a better api.
4. More Google unique stuff (Google Now/Search integration/Google app integration)
5. Surprise me.

As other have said, yes. But also, you can send voice messages and photos in quick reply, as well.

is xcode 6 in beta?
well it should be 11. 10.10 is just 10.1
I actually don't know, as I generally just look at my own dev devices and keep those up to date (and those are signed as long as the dev membership is renewed).

Because it's apparently more efficient.

Quite close I think. It'll abstract away some of the more tricky parts (easier pointer references, bit more expressive syntax), but it's still a 'proper' object oriented language. It won't be quite like basic, but if you're willing to put in some effort it'll get you places.
If you're really just starting out I'd recommend getting a good Python book and work your way up from there.
You don't work in software there.
The "." is a delimiter. It's not a decimal in a numerical sense. It's effectively the same as 10|10|05.

The Swift book is up on iBooks for free. Just got published a few mins ago.

Oh god. If I didn't know better I'd think you were trolling.
You're one of those people who doesn't know how version numbers work.
THEY ARE NOT DECIMALS!
It works from anywhere. He even made a point to show that off.

I direct you to the works of John Siracusa over the past 10 years on Ars Technica.

This I can believe. When the iOS devices all come out in September they'll have more features to show off to take advantage of them. I can see split screen being one of them. Along with the resolution independence for the bigger 6 screens.

I hope we get multi tasking. If its something for both iPad + iPhone, it would be better to show it off on the bigger iPhone.
I know it doesn't make much sense, but look on the bright side FUCK OBJECTIVE C
Technically this was coming since Steve Jobs' death; Objective C was legacy from the NextStep days.

Is that Metal/Epic video up anywhere yet?

So they made a big point about how all your photos will be in the cloud, but there can also be a local version that's getting constantly updated too, right?

I love objective C, but it's a 30+ year old language and it's legacy tie to be fully C compliant isn't only significant baggage, but it actually holds the language back as well.
It can't live forever and they need to start providing a alternate solution.
Not that surprising since it was approachin the edge of usability and it was due to get cutoff support like every previous phone.
I honestly don't think Mac devs will have to flatten their app icons that much actually. Apple's certainly went flatter but the overall design still uses plenty of 3D planes and more shadows and gradients than iOS 7 (look at the Safari icon).

Haha, it just redirects back to Mavericks for me. Must be broken a bit. I wanna sign up! Unless it's part of the same program they already set up a few weeks ago, then I'm already in it.
