  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.

  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.

  4. Change good for Students by codeonezero · · Score: 5, Interesting

    This is great.

    Back in 1998 I got a Student WWDC pass but, because the WWDC was the week of finals I had no hope of getting there.

    If this change continues in later years I think it might be a big boost to more student participation at the WWDC (who will mostly be off in June i think, or at least not have finals around that time), which will probably be good long term for Apple's Developer Community.

    I can't wait for Panther! (10.3)
    Quick someone post som Panther rumors!!

    Maybe a Pink Panther reference ;)
