Apple Store Down Ahead of WWDC 2012

Just hours before WWDC 2012, we can confirm that the online Apple Store has been taken down to update the products/software that will be announced this morning. Over 5,000 people are expected to turn up to the event today.

Retina Capable MacBook's, the fith generation iPhone, iOS 6 and Mac OS X Mountain Lion are all expected to be announced today. However, I don't think that all of the rumoured updates will actually be announced today. Do bare in mind that this is mainly a software keynote for developers. Journalists, Paparazzi and the public in general are also eligible to attend, though. 

Just like last year, Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference will be held at Moscone West, Sans Francisco between June 11 and June 15.

WWDC 2011: iOS5

Are we looking at the future of mobile operating systems? I think so.

On June 6th, 2011, Apple held their annual World Wide Developers Conference. Apple provided information on iOS 5. It's going to be out "This Fall" and be available through the iTunes costing merely $0, which I personally found a shock.

In the video I'm going to solely focus on iOS 5.

WWDC: OS X Lion

Are we looking at the future of operating systems? I think so.

On June 6th, 2011, Apple held their annual World Wide Developers Conference. Apple provided more information on OS X Lion. It's going to be out "soon in July" and ONLY be available through the Mac AppStore costing $29.99 with a 4 GB download

In the video I'm going to solely focus on OS X Lion for the Mac.

WWDC: My Thoughts on iOS5

I have just watched the Apple iOS5 keynote and to be quite honest, it disappointed me.

Firstly - Twitter integration. It took me a while to see what I love about iOS, and why no other mobile operating system has done it for me, but because of Twitter integration I now have an answer. Isolation. Since the very start, every app has always been isolated to its own little space, and I love that. In android, there are app widgets, this removes the isolation from the rest of the system. I don't know about Blackberry OS as I have never used it, but I'm sure something like that applies. Twitter integration just seems to go against everything that iOS stands for.

Then there's iMessage. From the very start I could see something wrong with it - the icon. People who aren't very tech-savvy, my parents for example, could quite possibly mix up the iMessage app with the Messages app. The fact that they also have very similar names doesn't help with distinguishing the two apps. Furthermore, from the very limited demo we saw, there doesn't seem to be great new features that would make people use this, instead of say PingChat. There are thousands of cross platform apps that do the same thing, quite possibly better, with an already established user-base.

This next thing is a little critical, but it really annoyed me. The lock screen Camera button. It just looked out of place. And to be completely honest, it saves about 5 taps at most.

I will admit that there are some great new features, such as the new additions to Safari, and the amazing new photo editing with Photos. But, in the end, it is still very underwhelming for me. I would love to hear your point of view on this, comment below or contact me on Twitter - @NatIsGleek.

I'm Back

Hello, my fellow friends.

My name is Kieran Greene. I have just recently come back to the YouTube community after a dry spell of being away. In the video above I hope that I can clearly explain my goals, plans and hopes for my new YouTube Channel.

I have been been online since 2008 when I first got my MacBook Pro. I have previous experience on my old YouTube Channel when it came to making videos and editing. What I hope to do now is combine all those skills and qualities I have gained and to make this professional Channel. I won't go into detail here, but if you wish to find out more please do watch the SHORT video above.

If you have any questions, please don't be afraid to leave a comment below or message me on Twitter.

Thank You,
