  • princeofhb, on 06/05/2008, -4/+55There are a lot of new icons in that large wall poster.
  • Gernot, on 06/05/2008, -3/+24Actually most of them are known. What is noteable is the "Cocoa touch" icon and the "Accellerometer" icon which not only is weird because it is no app, but also because it even gets an extra banner of its very own on he second floor. It is, however, very well done.
  • killagorila13, on 06/05/2008, -5/+18Another great set of banners. Should be a great WWDC.
  • TheWorm, on 06/05/2008, -7/+21If they're going to release a new iPhone with a new look why are there so many huge banners with the image of the old (current) iPhone?
    • qpid, on 06/05/2008, -4/+5Because rumor sites are wrong?
    • saury316, on 06/06/2008, -2/+12TheWorm - I was going to ask the EXACT same thing...
      Apple has always covered banners that displayed their new products.. if Apple is announcing a brand new iPhone, why is it so prominently displayed??

      Maybe the new iPhone is going to be like an iPhone mini... or in reverse.. a iPhone Pro ?
      and the existing iPhone will exist in looks but have some internal changes as well?
      That could explain both all the rumors about a new design, and why the existing phone is displayed in the banners...

      or there is no new iphone, and i should def. sell my stock in AAPL before the market gets wise to this :P
      • lijamez, on 06/06/2008, -1/+25Maybe... that IS the cover and the new iPhone banner is underneath! :o
    • Protoss, on 06/06/2008, -3/+5Maybe because they don't feel the need to display the new iPhone since it will be fairly similar to the old one?
    • IsaiahCisneroz, on 06/06/2008, -1/+5I'd have to agree with Saury. The reason that it is so prominently displayed is probably because there will be a new iPhone but the old one will remain. More than likely two different version of an iPhone nano seeing as that Apple tends to make their products smaller and more efficient.
      • shauncorleone, on 06/06/2008, -1/+2The rumors of the iPhone nano excite me, only because it insinuates much higher storage options on the "iPhone Classic" SKUs. 16GB just doesn't cut it.
    • Seidoger, on 06/06/2008, -2/+5Or maybe the front of it looks the same.
      Or at least the same on a simplified and stylized vector icon.
    • Galaxylander, on 06/06/2008, -3/+0Or those are cloth banners that will be dropped to show what's underneath or something.

      I don't know, I just hope I'm not disappointed- I'm getting an iPhone, and I want it to be worth buying over the old one.
    • utahnkid, on 06/06/2008, -1/+1Let's not make any more statements that might mean no new iPhone. I swear if you jinx this... Unforgivable.

  • qpid, on 06/05/2008, -20/+31Getting excited over a couple of banners... sheesh
  • hiredg3Ek, on 06/05/2008, -20/+8redmond has a copycat... come on Apple, get over yourself!
  • Overture1928, on 06/06/2008, -9/+7Wow, WWDC is only a few days away! It really snuck up on me this year (well, this whole year has)... I was thinking it was weeks away.

    Thanks for the photos.

      • stopsucking, on 06/06/2008, -0/+2Hah! I don't know why but that made me laugh. Nicely played.
  • lpxxfaintxx2, on 06/06/2008, -17/+138I've been to WWDC last year, and it was awesome! The crowd was energetic, exciting products were announced, and the whole atmosphere was great! Of course, until the 'incident' happened. I packed up my luggage and got ready to leave the hotel room, when I noticed that I've been charged with things I have never requested at my room. I confronted the person behind the desk and he told me it would be taken care of ASAP. I wait 5 minutes, and still nothing. He told me to wait another 5 minutes while he gets his manager. 5 minute passes and I couldn't take it any longer! I left and I whistled for a cab, and when it came near, the license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror. If anything I can say this cab is rare but I thought now forget it, yo homes to Bel Air!
    • tippmann1, on 06/06/2008, -5/+27thank you for that. not the best I've ever seen but thanks anyways
    • gllopc, on 06/06/2008, -3/+19Oh, I heard about you. Is it true that you pulled up to your house about seven or eight and yelled to the cabby "yo, home smell you later", looked at your kingdom, as you were finally there, to settle your throne as the prince of Bel-air?
    • olithebumm, on 06/06/2008, -13/+2*cough* fail *cough*
      • knightboat, on 06/06/2008, -1/+3Would typing "fail" without the awkward cough emotes around it not have gotten your point across well enough?
    • speel, on 06/06/2008, -12/+1Your so cool.
    • turbod33, on 06/06/2008, -3/+36I haven't been Bel-Air'd in a while. Grats.

    • duddy, on 06/06/2008, -5/+4The iPhone in the banner is calling "The future." WhyTF are you guys burying me?

    • Shadowgamers, on 06/06/2008, -2/+12Apples' World Wide Developer Conference. Showcasing Apple technology to the 4 or 5 thousand people who could bother to turn up
      • sjmulder, on 06/06/2008, -2/+2"… and show you how to make applications and games for them"
        • Shadowgamers, on 06/06/2008, -7/+1You wish. Go back to dual-booting XP/Vista on your Mac.
        • equinoxChild, on 06/06/2008, -3/+4photoshop isn't a game.
      • cardboard, on 06/06/2008, -4/+4Never mind that WWDC is completely sold out, or that thousands and thousands of people will be following the live blogs during the keynote.
        • Shadowgamers, on 06/06/2008, -1/+1It's not a conference for nothing huh?
      • equinoxChild, on 06/06/2008, -7/+25000 people? what is that like 50% of the Mac market?

    • billygreen23, on 06/06/2008, -1/+2Could you not take two seconds to Google it?

    • SuperCujo, on 06/06/2008, -1/+1Geez, talk about a serious case of premature ejaculation.

      I think a visit to your health professional is in order.
      • MrSarcasm, on 06/06/2008, -0/+1No no no, I'll just visit some apple store.
  • Frostman3D, on 06/06/2008, -12/+6It's WORLD WIDE DEVELOPER'S CONFERENCE for most of us that really don't give a *****. ;)
  • Elliottx, on 06/06/2008, -8/+2I see the apple logo...must run away!
  • djrbx, on 06/06/2008, -9/+6Why is this on the front page? Moscone Center is across the street from my school and I pass by it everyday. There's nothing special here. Not even the setup of the WWDC. Relax and wait till the actual confrence
    • BossKey, on 06/06/2008, -3/+4I'm a Mac fan and I also don't see why I should digg this up.
      Banners. And covered banners.
      And icons and taglines we've seen before.
      Wake me when there's news...
    • ophello, on 06/06/2008, -2/+2oh shut up. you act like you dont know how digg works.
  • matt.rubin, on 06/06/2008, -10/+6Its a world wide developers conference from a company that pretty much is only successful in 1st party apps and does want people making apps on their mobile devices. So what developers?
  • jacobfarenzi, on 06/06/2008, -10/+2It's interesting to see on the banner that they're no longer calling it 'Mac OS X Leopard',
    just simply 'OS X Leopard'...
    Could this imply that Apple may be hoping to license OS X onto other hardware in the future?...
    (other than the Mac and iPhone/iPod touch).
  • W0utR, on 06/06/2008, -4/+34I hope we get a "one more thing" this year
  • Zippo, on 06/06/2008, -5/+8Gentlemen, start your engines.

    and by engines, I mean fap fap fap.

  • selfdisplaced, on 06/06/2008, -6/+1Hmm...what is that iPhone thing in front of the Macbook Air in that one picture? It looks way bigger than the iPhone.

    • RobotLeAwesome, on 06/06/2008, -0/+7or, you know – perspective.
      • selfdisplaced, on 06/07/2008, -0/+1so you are going to tell me perspective, you know, you are retarded. it's obviously sitting right in front of the macbook air, and the macbook air has a 13.3" screen and it all but covers the whole side to side and it's a lot wider.

    • vtor67, on 06/06/2008, -0/+0they had a picture like that on the apple home page once. like a few months ago
  • selfdisplaced, on 06/06/2008, -6/+7all i want is a redesigned regular macbook, please?

  • ColorBlind, on 06/06/2008, -7/+5I do like the OS X iPhone banner. I wonder if it really means a full OS on the iPhone?
  • bouche, on 06/06/2008, -3/+19holy *****. this submission and comments are dripping with nerd sweat.

  • morningchai, on 06/06/2008, -3/+8Every year, I still get surprised by how hard it seems to be for people to take decent non-blurry photos of these kinds of things? I understand when it's in the middle of the a bustling geek crowd pushing back and forth to see the latest gear, but an empty hallway in the middle of the night with no one around?
  • Viriatus2, on 06/06/2008, -11/+6who the ***** cares about this? BURYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
