  1. WWDC Instead of Macworld? by Michael_Burton · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This change seems to raise the profile of WWDC, probably at the expense of the New York/Boston summer Macworld Expo, which Apple had previously declared it would not attend.

    Maybe Apple is trying to increase the visibility of its outreach to the geek community. I certainly hope this doesn't mean that WWDC is becoming just another trade show.

      WWDC is the target audience for a OS upgrade from 10.2.x to 10.3 ->> Developers are the ones that want/need it the most anyway.

      Apple should be doing things on their own schedule, not some other company's (expo). This would avoid the embarrasment of anouncing hardware for sale that they can't ship for months; which has happened for everything so far this year.

  2. They just made WWDC more expensive... by Chief+Typist · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I wonder how many people besides me are cursing right now because they have non-refundable airfares for the week of May 18th.

    We'll probably get nailed for changing the hotel, too.

    This sucks.
