First highlight of the day: Our awesomely big portion breakfast (and cheap too!). We each had 3 eggs, an 6 ounce steak, potatoes and 2 toasts for breakfast, beat that! After having that breakfast, I now fully understand why people call it the most important meal of the day.
Day one of WWDC08 only means one thing - Steve Job’s keynote! So he announced the phone that would beat the iPhone - iPhone 3G, but I’m not totally excited about it. Don’t really fancy the plastic back too. The only thing that hurt me is the $200 price drop - Come’on Steve! That’s kinda too much?!
Lunch was great. We had Thai beef salad. Refreshing and tasty.
Following that is the Mac OS X State of The Union. Sometimes it is also referred to as the Keynote address not seen by the public. I was much more amazed by the State of the Union than the actual keynote. During the session, Bertrand Serlet, Apple’s Senior Vice President of Software Engineering, gave us a good overview of the new technologies in the next release of Mac OS X, known as Snow Leopard. If you do not know, there will be only 1 new feature (visible to most users) in the release. Most of the improvements are done on the innards of Mac OS X itself. Go here to learn more about Snow Leopard.
After that, we went to 2 more (boring) sessions before Seb got drunk at the Welcome Reception.
Tomorrow we’ll be visiting Coit Tower, Lombard St and Fisherman’s Wharf!
