Apple releases more WWDC 2006 videos on iTunes

This latest collection includes: Graphics & Media State of the Union Welcome to Xcode Taking Advantage of Leopard Features in Cocoa Mac OS X State of the Union IT State of the Union But don't get too comfy with last year's programming; lest ye been living under a rock for the last year or so, we probably don't need to remind you WWDC07 is fast approaching, and more and more signs are pointing towards a debut of both the iPhone and Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard - especially since Apple said the big cat is still on schedule.
Super Secret Apple Rumors Podcast 083 - 08.08.06
Ah, welcome to another addition of the Super Secret Apple Rumors Podcast, with your host Stevie J. Jobsie didn't have a ton of new gear to announce -- just the Mac Pro -- but it is, in fact, WWDC. Did we ever get a load of information about Leopard, though, the new version of OS X Apple's making us wait until next year to get. Next freaking year! Well, whatever, there's sure to be a lot more to come with 10.5, but in the mean time take it away, Steve. Get the podcast [iTunes] Subscribe to the Podcast directly in iTunes (MP3).

Alright everybody, things get busy tomorrow when His Steveness kicks off WWDC 2006 at 10:00AM PST / 1:00PM EST. We'll be on hand to cover the event, as well as to provide any live pre-game coverage, including Jonathan Ive's tailgater and the filming of WWDC Parking Lot. Be sure to stay tuned for late-breaking leaks (yay) and rumors (boo), and click on for some more shots of the made-over Moscone here in San Francisco (including that silly WWDC banner).Update: Makes sense to provide a few more time zones so you know when to show up if you're not on one coast or the other.

Anonymous Apple employee supposedly speaks about WWDC
When we go through our usual motions and say "take things with a grain of salt," we mean it -- but seriously people, take this one with a few. A site called DVD Newsroom is claiming to have published a short interview with an anonymous Apple employee who gave them the blow by blow of what we can expect from WWDC 2006 next Monday. In a nutshell: no iPhone (yet), Blu-ray probably coming in January (at Macworld 2007), Mac Pros will ship October or November, new monitors with "built-in iChat" (huh?), no plans for an Apple TV, nor a 12 or 14-inch MacBook, iTunes movie downloads will feature burning to DVD, no Mac tablet on the horizon, and, of course the bit everyone wants to know, "expect a true video iPod with Airport support" in the future. So there you have it, yet another unsubstantiated rumor keeping the Apple-blubber-lit fires burning bright going into the weekend. We hope not to have to pain you with more over the next couple of days, but we're making no guarantees.[Thanks, Eliz and Marty]
WWDC 2006 banner revealed from within Moscone
Damn well, here we go again with the tea leaves. Someone snagged a picture of a massive banner over at the Moscone Center in San Francisco where WWDC is taking place next Monday. While it doesn't give us too much to work with, we can clearly see the usual set of Mac icons, what could maybe possibly be the aluminum nano (it's just not quite as white as the iMac beside it to these eyes) and two very out of place images: a "64-bit" logo, and what appears to be a PowerMac. Of course, the easy thing would be to conflate the two and say that a 64-bit Intel Mac Pro is set to be debuted, but we're hesitant -- though we know they wouldn't give the most prominent spot on that massive banner up to an old fuddy duddy G5 box. So maybe there will be a Mac Pro, but maybe it won't be as visually overhauled as everyone is hoping (then again maybe not), and maybe that 64-bit business is regarding their Xserve line. What's up with that shielded area over on the right though, the bit that's covering the MacBook Pro? How they love taunting us all. (Click on for bigger versions.)[Thanks, Ravi]Update: another banner image added from another angle! Doesn't help much though, very little yet-unseen detail. Thanks Benjamin!
