If you don't like Apple please keep your BS to your self. There's no need for it to be here. This is for people that actually want to discuss the OS/products offered.

256kbps? Hmm
OS X Lion launching in July for $29.99
Apple has been talking about OS X Lion for some time already, of course, but it's now filled in most if not all of the remaining key details at WWDC. Dubbed a "major release" with over 250 new features, the OS adds things like a slew of new multi-touch gestures and full-screen apps (including iPhoto, iMovie, Safari, etc.), plus the all new Mission Control, which unifies Expose and Spaces, and the iOS-esque Launchpad application launcher. It also includes a new system-wide Resume feature that lets you pick up exactly where you left off, a new auto-save feature that automatically saves different versions of documents, the new AirDrop peer-to-peer file-sharing system, and a brand new version of Mail that finally includes a conversation view.
The big news revealed today, however, is that the OS will now only be available in the Mac App Store as a 4GB download -- which installs in place, no reboots -- and that it will run you just $29.99 for all of your authorized Macs. It will be available sometime in July, but developers can get the latest preview release today.
Apple unveils iMessage, its BBM competitor, at WWDC
It's here, the moment BlackBerry owners been waiting for since the original iPhone launched: iMessage. Apple has just announced its new data-based push messaging service at WWDC, which looks to be a full-on competitor to the venerable BBM. This service works on an iOS device of any flavor, and lets you send text messages, photos, videos, and contacts to anyone else with one too. It also supports group chats and integrates with the new Notification Center in iOS 5. According to Tim Cook, it "works over WiFi or 3G, in case you were wondering," which is yet another blow for RIM. The final nail in the coffin for those of you who simply 'can't live without BBM:' delivery and read confirmations. Boom.
Ya they are very generous to "upgrade" your music to 256kbps lol This has been the best Keynote ever
Me 2!! Well not on a nexus since Im not cool like you lol But wow they are so Inovative!!
Stupid phone manufacturers want to add their own crappy skins on top of a perfectly good OS.
I hate the way they are going to be selling this new update. Over App store only! that's just stupid. How are you going to reinstall if the system crashes? what if you want to install on other Macs in your house hold? way to go Steve sticking it to the normal folks again...
The second thing that had me wondering about implementation is the photo-to-cloud thing. So it's going to be instant? I'm not sure that's for everyone.
As a reviewer on engadget said:
Zach Honig: "...I also imagine some users wouldn't necessarily want all of their content popping up on the family Apple TV (naughty iPhone pics, anyone?), so PhotoStream may be responsible for some awkward moments in the future. Overall, iCloud sounds like a win for Apple and iOS device owners, and you really can't beat the ad-free price tag. Sayonara, MobileMe."
That was one of the two things I was wondering. I'm assuming to put it on another computer you'll just have to have your account info on that computer and it'll some how be confirmed as your computer... I'm sure you can't put your account on 1431204283540 different computers... lol. At least I don't think so.
