Weekly Roundup

Aaron Brethorst, June 01, 2013

WWDC is nigh! In just one week, Tim Cook and, ostensibly, Eddy Cue, Craig Federighi, Jony Ive, Bob Mansfield, and Phil Schiller, plus some 3rd parties, will be on-stage to unveil iOS 7, OS X 10.9, and maybe even some new Mac hardware. Except for Ive, presumably, who will be talking to us via video link from an undisclosed location.

Cheers,
Aaron

For your amusement, I present to you the official Cocoa Controls WWDC 2013 bingo card. Any time a classic WWDC phrase is used, a particular person comes on stage, or a new feature is introduced, mark that cell on your bingo card. Five across, down, or diagonal wins!
