Quote:
Apple announced in late April that its annual Apple Design Awards, given every year since 1997 during its annual Worldwide Developers Conference, would only be awarded for iPhone and iPad apps this year. Many long-time Mac OS X developers felt a little slighted, so we were inspired to pick up the torch and start giving out our own Ars Design Awards.

Personally, I'm not sure about some of the suggestions, but overall it's a good first run.

Why are Apple abandoning their OS X developers though? If that continues it could be suicide!

After the D8 conference, I reckon Apple are getting ready to go more and more portable. I think it could still take a decade, but I think Apple are thinking about it. I blogged about it here

I think so too. I get the impression that Apple are moving away from any sense of making computers for professionals to work on and heading towards just doing consumer gadgetry. The Mac Pro is being sidelined and all that you hear about is the iPad and iPhone and sometimes the iPod touch. It as though all that matters is catering to people who want to social network whether its by text or IM (or whatever) and who think the most important thing in life is updating their Facebook page or uploading to YouTube.

My Internet connection was finally OK to watch the lowest resolution of the wwdc keynote today.

What a load of tripe. The new iPhone and iOS look good, but there was nothing remotely Mac in the whole speech!

I think that it finished today and many of the other keynotes were more technical, though this one was a phone one. I think that Apple might announce other things at different events.

Same here, I was most disappointed.

They just slipped Safari 5 out of the side door whilst parading the new iOS around.

And a new version of XCode which I can find out nothing about, since everyone who went to the unveiling is under strict NDA. What the heck is the point in being secretive about an IDE for which there is pretty much zero competition?

Because XCode ships with SDKs.

New version? Do we know if it's a point release or version 4?

Definitely Xcode 4. look here. You only get to download it if you're at WWDC and there's a blanket NDA on the details.

Update: Managed to find a few snippets

one guys blog post
Ars Technica forum thread
A twitpic which may be real or may be fake. Big change if it is real though; they've been taking a lot of cues from Coda...
