Apple's WWDC Begins Monday

KeelSpawn writes in that Yahoo! has a story about the upcoming WWDC in San Jose, May 6-10. Apple will offer attendees the chance to "be the first to explore the powerful new capabilities of the next major release of Mac OS X," with over 100 technical sessions, including those on Darwin, changes in Carbon and Cocoa, and more than 25 sessions on Java and WebObjects. The WWDC Steve Jobs keynote begins May 6 at 1 p.m. Eastern, while the Mac OS X keynote begins at 5 p.m. Eastern.

Re:Keynote Screening?

I was going to make the same suggestion, but then it occurred to me:

This isn't a MacWorld, or even a Seybold. This conference is very specifically targeted to developers. While I'm sure Steve's keynote will be pretty light on the technical side, it's still going to be intended for the programmers. Macs, especially in the Apple Stores, are supposed to be user friendly, easy to use, and NOT look or feel like one needs a CS degree to use it. I'm not sure that Apple wants the ordinary end-user types to see so much of the behind-the-scenes technobabble that goes into making their computers work, for fear of making them think that Macs are as complicated as Win-x86.

So, I'm not sure that the Apple Stores will carry the feed. WWDC isn't listed on the schedule found at the retail theater page.

However, the best bet by far is to contact the store and ask. Here are some links, complete with maps and phone numbers:
