Apple have announced the dates for this year’s WorldWide Developers’ Conference Apple’s WWDC10 as being 7-11th of June 2010. Which probably means the next iPhone will be announced on the 7th of June.
Month: April 2010
BBEdit 9.5 released
Changes include:
The ponies’ saronite shoes have been reinforced with titanium, and have a buff applied which increases both ground and flight speed by 30%.
Do I get a prize for actually having read all the release notes?
Also includes more EMACs likeness, support for more AppleEvent/AppleScript notifications, now writes window metadata into extended file attributes rather than resource forks, a Search Bar (rather than the Quick Search dialog), and more changes listed on the BBEdit site. The update is free if you already have a license for BBEdit 9.0 to 9.3.

- Audio signal is provided on the DisplayPort adaptor[Arstechnica]
An evening of Cluster MacGeekery
