For those out of the know this is Apple&#8217;s World Wide Developer Conference.<\/p>\n<p>This is the &#8220;Go To&#8221; conference for Mac Tech. The future of the platforms are exposed here. Interestingly, we&#8217;re supposed to get an entirely new OS this summer called Lion: Mac OS X 10.7. Developers have seen exactly what the public has seen concerning this OS.<\/p>\n<p>Now the format of WWDC goes like this (at least the last 3 years)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dec-Mar: Rumoured estimate of WWDC

The conference will be announced May 30th, a week before the conference and likely sell out 2 days before the tickets go on sale.<\/p>\n<p>Good luck!<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy
