WWDC Keynote In 60 Seconds
While I'm, of course, a little partial to my own recent Apple keynote mash-up, this clip is an excellent summary of WWDC 2008 in 60 seconds (or just enough time to turn up those speakers while the boss is in the bathroom). I was there and actually remembered some moments I'd forgotten, so it's probably worth a fanboy perusal. [Mahalo via CrunchGear]

Steve Jobs Looked Thinner Than Usual at WWDC—So What?
One of the first things we noticed when Steve Jobs came out on stage was that he was noticeably thinner than he was in previous events. We were vaguely concerned since he's had a recent history of what could be considered pretty severe health problems, but it looks like it's just a "common bug" says Apple PR. At age 53, he honestly looks fitter than we are now, probably because he doesn't spend 23 hours a day with his ass attached to some sort of surface. Maybe it was that vomit+diarrhea virus that was going around Moscone a month ago. Either way, lots of people make a big deal out of Steve's appearance because he's perceived as so important to the company. So that's what the fuss is about by the press. [WSJ]

iPhone 3G in Black or White?
While not all of us at Giz (read: none) like the white iPhone 3G, I'm sure some of you might. So feel free to vote for your favorite non-color here. Not like it matters. Hit it, MJ! More »

MobileMe Looks an Awful Lot Like Windows Me
MobileMe, Apple's replacement for .Mac, was announced at WWDC and something struck me (and some others) as a little odd: its logo is remarkable similar to a notorious software disaster from nearly a decade ago, Windows ME. Would a company so famous for the creation of household brand names really release MobileMe, and make it look like this? Yes. Yes they would. [WWDC08 @ Giz]

Steve Jobs Explains OS X Snow Leopard in Three Easy Steps
The NY Times has a good interview with Steve Jobs in which Apple's CEO lets fly with very quotable, very understandable quotes about OS X 10.6. We already heard the details, but it was still hard to wrap our head around why Apple would make an operating system without many visible features and just go and change architecture around. He explains that they're doing it because programmers don't know WTF is going on with parallel processing. More »

Latest by justinpe: @KLanD: The 1st iPhone will get the iPhone 2.0 firmware update, just like the new iPhones. The only thing that the old iPhone won't be able to do is GPS and 3G. Also, I expect a 32 GB version to be released in time for the holiday season like they did more »

"iPhone 3G" FCC Application Hints at Potential Apple "Smartphone"
Washington D.C. (Agencies) - Confidential FCC documents unearthed today by internet blog Intomobile point out at the possibility of Apple releasing a new secret device which some experts think could be a "smartphone." The new gadget—which was submitted for FCC approval in June 1, 2008—apparently has a big "touch" screen, as well as the ability to play music and communicate to other people using your own voice. According to Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster, this "iPhone 3G" machine can also access web portals at what he referred to as "really high speeds." More »
