Just a reminder that this year's event is being held at the Flint Center for the Performing Arts at De Anza College in Cupertino, rather than the usual Yerba Buena Center or the town hall on Apple's campus. It's the same place where the Mac was unveiled in 1984, and the iMac in 1998.

Tim's got something up his sleeve.
Oh wow, the 6/smartwatch must really be monumental then. Unless there's a "One more thing" that's going to be a game changer (could the home automation stuff really be that big?).

I imagine the GM will be released today, unless they want to drop another beta. It's been over a month since the last one.

GM available today to developers and anyone who can get their hands on the .ipsw. Public release... I'm guessing the 17th.

I'm more interested in a Yosemite release date, since Continuity is the coolest thing iOS 8 has going for it and it needs Yosemite.

Continuity randomly works for me. In the last Yosemite build all my devices saw my Mac. In the newest one, none of them do. I'm not sure if it's my iPhone and iPad being on Beta 5, or Yosemite, or something else. :shrug:

I'm hoping the iOS8 GM is a lot better at battery management than these betas. I mean, I'm sure it will be since it's a public release, but man, there have been times recently where my 5S' battery has seemed to perform worse than my iPhone 4 did. Of course, that's to be expected with beta software, and I'm probably a dummy for running the beta on my only iOS device :v:

I wish my 2010 iMac had aged as much as you'd think a 4 year old machine should have so I could consider an upgrade to get a machine that could do all that cool stuff. Although my audio setup probably wouldn't work wonderfully anyway with it and give a ton of feedback.

The video is nice, but sometimes the stream cuts out on me. The coverage sites post pictures and stuff.

He explained it was a combination of cost, taking time off from work, the experience being just as good streaming, and generally disliking travel.

Marco/Casey brought up the whole flint center "this is where they announce big things" thing, and Siracusa countered with "well if they announce something that changes the world I'll feel bad then"

Think I'm gonna finally take the plunge if I can get my hands on the iOS 8 GM. I usually wait. It's a shame I have a crippling inability to use 2 different PCs for different things or I'd be excited about Yosemite too.

I honestly don't remember the internet talking about the first iPhone much at all back in 2007, or at least not nearly as much as it does about the new iPhone today.

Of course, I didn't feel like I really needed an iPhone until the 3GS came out and I got one of those in early 2010, so maybe I just hadn't been paying much attention to them before then.
