Everyday, I check all the usual resources, Apple.com, TUAW, 9to5mac, MacRumors and finally today, I got my answer:
WWDC for 2010 is going to be from June 7th to June 11th in San Francisco at the Moscone Center.
There will be 1,000 Apple engineers at the Moscone Center in San Francisco and you can have the chance to Stump Apple experts, listen to a variety of speakers, and party at night. Here are some of the WWDC sessions that are being offered:
Opera Software announced today that their Opera Mini web browser app is going to Apple today for the iPhone. This Opera Mini software essentially will improve the performance on your iPhone. Rumor has it that Opera mini will be 6 times faster than Safari on the iPhone, as well as “Due to server-side rendering, Opera Mini compresses data by up to 90 percent before sending it to the phone, resulting in rapid page loading and more Web per MB for the end user” [via MacRumors]. Watch this video to see the capabilities of the Opera Mini and get ready to get this app when Jobs gives the green light:
There are limits, and Apple is slowly showing that they draw the line when it comes to objectify women. Well at least Apple shows their concern when people or women are complaining. It was not until last June that Apple placed parental controls on racy apps. Most recently, Apple banned applications such as “Dirty Fingers” and “Sexy Scratch Off” [via NYT]. ”Dirty Fingers” was an app that featured a young women in a bikini cleaning the screen of the iPhone screen and “Sexy Scratch Off” was an app where a woman’s clothes could be quickly removed with one quick swipe of a finger. Currently some people seem upset with this new development, but Apple is listening to the female audience. Maybe they should have listened to more women before naming the iPad.
HOWEVER, after removing 5,000 “overtly sexual” apps, MacRumors confirms that “Apple has added a new “Explicit” category in the iTunes Connect system for App Store submissions. The category is included in drop-down menus that allow developers to select categories for their applications to be placed in, and appears alongside the traditional App Store categories such as ‘Books’, ‘Entertainment’, and ‘Games’.” No one knows for sure why Apple has added this feature, but clearly Apple is starting to listen to someone else…maybe pervy developpers and users.
