  • We'll be guests on the WWDC live episode of The Talk Show: Tuesday, June 3, 6–9 PM. Get tickets here ASAP! John will be taking a plane... for you.
  • Follow-up:
    • Which is faster: installing Showbot or reimplementing it?
      • Casey's open-source Node version
    • PHP isn't faster than Javascript, voiding Marco's accidental argument in the last episode.
    • Node.js uses CommonJS, not AMD. ECMAScript also adds formal module support, which es6-module-transpiler lets you use today.
    • To the great surprise of nobody except John, iPhones come with earbuds, and those earbuds come with clickers.
    • To the great surprise of nobody, including John, the Bluetooth-pairing interface in a car was terrible, and both Marco and Casey missed an obscure reference.
    • iOS games that support physical game controllers must also work without them.
  • If the "iPhone 6" comes in two sizes, which do you buy?
    • Possibility of resolution scaling modes.
    • Would the cameras be different? (Marco on The Talk Show, starting around 01:26:00).
  • WWDC product-announcement predictions:
    • New MacBook Airs or a 12" Retina MacBook Air? (Intel's Broadwell delay)
      • Macworld's slow SSD speeds in the new Airs may just be from different SSD manufacturers.
    • New Apple TV hardware or software?
      • The Apple TV 3's CPU was originally a dual-core A5 with one die disabled, but not anymore.
    • The iPod Touch still has an A5 LOL.
    • There may not be any new hardware announced at WWDC, just like previous WWDCs in 2007, 2008, 2010, and 2011.
    • New sensors to be taken advantage of, like Pedometer++ did with the M7 last year.
    • Craig Hockenberry on Apple wearables
    • Wearables, sensors, and watches in fashion and reality.
    • Bringing the new Mac Pro's dark-glossy-aluminum finish to more Pro hardware?
    • Retina Thunderbolt Display?
    • The Magic Mouse. Yes, we really talked about this.
  • Drawing conclusions from the "To Be Announced" sessions in the WWDC schedule.
  • WWDC predictions for Mac OS X 10.10:
    • Just a visual refresh, or notable improvements to the core OS as well?
    • Apple shuffling engineers around to work on the new hotness while neglecting its established platforms and applications.
    • Modernization or replacement of AppKit, possibly by bringing the relevant parts of UIKit to Mac?
    • Is there any hope for a new filesystem, possibly by evolving Core Storage?
  • WWDC predictions for iOS 8:
    • Better inter-app communication:
      • A system like Contracts or Intents?
      • Involving remote view controllers?
      • Side-by-side iPad multitasking?
    • Springboard enhancements?
    • Please kill Newsstand. Please. Just make them normal app icons.
    • Could Remote View Controllers and Background Refresh be used for widgets, live tiles, or dynamic icons?
    • Customizable default browser, mail app, etc.?
  • WWDC predictions for new or improved web services:
