Holy cow! How did it get to be May already? The problem with living in New England is that summer can be very short. This year we have been blessed with a warm spring so that helps.

The coming of summer means one thing for Apple geeks—WWDC! Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference is June 13-15th this year in San Francisco. Since the demise of the MACworld EXPO, the WWDC is one of the few times the Apple faithful gather together. It’s usually a time when the new announcements or previews of future iOS and Mac OS are revealed.

Some high points of the WWDC were:

2002 – Xserve announced
2003 – iSight Camera announced
2005 – The move to Intel processors from IBM PowerPC was announced
2008 – first WWDC to sell out, App Store for iOS launched
2009 – iPhone 3GS released
2010 – iPhone 4 announced. Tickets sold out in 8 days
2011 – Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) debuted. Tickets sold out in 12-hours
2012 – Tickets sold out in 2 hours

Hopefully, if you wanted to go, you already have your ticket. If you have to scalp them, look for prices well over $2K!
