suleiman Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Here I'll be posting news from the WWDC Keynote Address minutes (maybe seconds) after it rolls out of Stevie's mouth. And then (like BOOM!) you can all post your reactions. The format will be as close to one-liners as we can get them, so subscribe to this thread and you'll be sure to stay abreast of the latest and greatest. We are also collecting feeds from many different sources for WWDC and displaying the results in #WWDC on irc.macspeak.net with your IRC client or use our forum's java client.

Swad Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Just to be clear, we'll be pulling information from most of those "live" sources in order to get the clearest possible picture for those of you keeping score at home. It'll be as close to live as you can get without being there. We did it this way last year and it seemed to work out well. Maybe next year we'll actually send a mole to WWDC.

ampTK Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 If done on the IRC its faster and you don't have to refresh every couple of seconds. (A transcript could be copied here for reference) Stupid question, but when is WWDC? smile.gif in about two hours and a half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ampTK Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 So the IRC is a no? I really really really hope someone yells bingo in the middle of keynote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouch Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 So the IRC is a no?I really really really hope someone yells bing in the middle of keynote You can still be on IRC and comment as it happens - but not everyone has access to or likes using IRC. Ditto on the bingo shoutout - although i think if it was heard on the video the apple engineers will edit it out before publishing it. 52 minutes to go...

Mr. Bond Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Yeah, I'm sitting in the ArsTechnica IRC channel. They've got a guy messaging back live from in the conference. I think their servers are maxed out with users though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Bond Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Muaha...no worries. Hop on Macpseak and join #WWDC. I'll just paste whatever they type on Ars, there. Also, from AppleMatters: "Interestingly Apple has 5.8 ghz wireless that only works on the new Macbook Pro. Stayed tuned." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suleiman Posted August 7, 2006 Author Share Posted August 7, 2006 The MacBook Pro's apparently have a 5.8ghz wireless capability: http://static.flickr.com/59/209097059_3070ecd4ae.jpg?v=0 Edit: The MacRumors site says the "new" Macbook Pro carries this feature. I wonder if it is referring to the current model or an updated lineup to be revealed at WWDC. Edit 2: Bond, we must have been posting at the same time! Kudos to you, but I'll leave my post up here since it bears a link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
