WWDC 2009 Badge Holder

The World Wide Developers Conference starts tomorrow and there will be a lot going on. The event begins at 10AM PT. There are a lot of rumors going around about it. One thing that is positive is the revealing of OS X Snow Leopard. There will also be a new iPhone but we aren’t sure of the details. A lot of ‘leaked’ pics have been revealed, but they are mostly longshots. We cannot say for sure. The iPhone OS will also be redesigned, possibly adding the ability to record video with the upgrade on its camera it will be getting. There are also high hopes of a netbook from Apple. Just keep your fingers crossed, because it’s not looking so good. We will begin posting tomorrow, but Gizmodo will be having live updates here.

Boxee

You have probably seen the Boxee aplication for Mac OS X before. There is also a good chance you signed up to test the beta for Windows but never got an invite. Well the wait is over, almost. Boxee announced it would be officially releaseing Boxee for Windows to the public on June 23rd. They will also be attempting to make profit from buyable addons for Boxee, and may be also working on paid subscriptions. If you don’t know what boxee is, it is an application that streams media to your desktop in a nice sleek app from Hulu, CBS, Youtube, and other media streaming websites. It can also stream these shows to your portable device.

Hulu recently launched it’s desktop application for Windows XP and OS X allowing you to search and watch Hulu videos without thinking about opening up a browser. Hulu was recently supporting the Boxee media center but came into some conflict with its partners and dropped the support. So now Hulu has its own app.

It is compatible with a regular mouse and keyboard, a Windows Media Center control, or an Apple remote control. Hulu Desktop also allows you to link your Hulu account and view your queue, edit it, add favorites and more.

Hulu desktop is the biggest addition to its new section called Hulu Labs.

There are rumors going around about the iPhone 2. It is being said that it will be released at WWDC on July 17th with a lot of new features and upgrades. The picture shows it in a sexy matte black and the Apple logo sticks out more than ever with the nice glow that may be added. The pictures released from MacRumors seem legit.  There is also a list of the new specs that I’m sure you’ll enjoy reading.

We have the logos up. I like how the simple design turned out. You may have noticed that the favicon is no longer the, oh this isn’t a ‘real’ website, logo provided bywordpress. Yup. Gadgatic is moving along. Slowly trying to get rid of the little marks of wordpress. hehehe

We are now on Twitter! Yea about time. Check us out and don’t forget to follow!

Apple has release iPhone OS update 3.0 Beta 5 not long after the last update. Apple whipped this update out pretty quick, so we can assume it is just some bug fixes. It is available for download. Keep in mind, iTunes 8.2 is required. Check it out and see whats new.

So its a battery that gives the MacBook an extra 32 hours of life. So are you gonna get one? Hmmm. Maybe…what?! $500. Ummmm…probably not.

However, Hypermac has a few cheaper versions available. There is a 60W version for $200, 100W for $300, and a 150W for $400. They are available for preorder here.

It is finally here and all our questions will be answered, hopefully. Apple will be having its “spotlight turns to notebooks” event tomorrow at Cupertino Town Hall. It is an invite only event so don’t try to just walk in. There have been many rumors about a new MacBook or MacBook Pro. Will that be or will there be some sort of completely new step for Apple? We are also hoping the “Brick” rumors will be answered. Apple hasn’t let us down yet. Engadget and Gizmodo will be holding a liveblog for the event.

Apple’s “Notebook” event is no longer a rumor. At town hall in San Francisco next Tuesday, the 14th, Apple will be holding the event. It will be an invitation only event held at 10pm PST. It is very obvious new laptops will be released. The quote, “The Spotlight Turns To Notebooks” on the invitations gave that away. The macbooks are obvious but what sort of new thing will it be. Will it be something completely new? Maybe they decided to use that iMac iCurve. Yea right, but we don’t really know much yet. Hopefully the event will settle the rumors about the “Brick”. Will they take the same step they did with the new iPod Nanos and come out with MacBooks in rainbow colors? Keep checking in to see if there are any leaks revealing what will happen.

Youtube recently added iTunes and Amazon links from promotionla and music videos to the iTunes store and Amazon. By clicking one of the links, it will take you to the store that you picked so you can purchase the featured song. Check out an example here.

The main music label that is participating in this is EMI. Electronic Arts is also taking part by providing links related to it’s Spore game for purchase at Amazon. 

   Maybe this is finally Google’s solution for making profit off of youtube.

It can be quite difficult to wait hours in line for your iPhone 3G, with everyone wanting one. Apple has made it even easier to get your iPhone 3G today. Simply go to the Apple website and purchase one. Just fill out a couple forms and select the plan you would like with AT&T. After that you can just go to any Apple store and pick it up. Too bad you can’t have it delivered for those who don’t have an Apple store in your area, “wink wink, Apple”.

There have been many different Apple mockups, mods, etc. but this one is definitely at the top. Named as the “iMac iView” by the designer Nuno Teixeira at Yanko Design. It’s extremely unlikely but why not stare at it and pray? This design features a curved screen, becoming very popular, along with a screen on the back to let your buddies view the same thing. This would be the most amazing thing of our generation. If only Apple would pay more attention to the hundreds of other Apple designs.
