Apple WWDC 2014 Live Blog

09:24AM PDT - The live blog begins in 37 minutes, Josh is on photos, I'm on text

09:29AM PDT - Change of plans, Josh is going to be on the Surface Pro 3 handling text

09:29AM PDT - I'll be contributing images and text, let's see how this works

09:33AM PDT - 28 minutes to go

09:33AM PDT - Sorry for the mixup with initial post ordering, Josh tried to break the engine

09:34AM PDT - Oops. I'll be on text, hi everybody.

09:37AM PDT - Josh is experimenting with different kickstand positions

09:38AM PDT - Josh on the Surface Pro 3: this is totally viable I think

09:38AM PDT - WiFi is ok: http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3538576875

09:39AM PDT - This is turning into our Surface Pro 3 review

09:40AM PDT - Back to the Mac

09:43AM PDT - If it hasn't been said enough by now, WWDC is definitely going to be a software show this time around

09:44AM PDT - Broadwell ULT parts won't be available until September timeframe, so it's too early for an official rMBA release

09:45AM PDT - It's too early for iPhone 6, too early for iPad Air next

09:46AM PDT - 15 minutes until showtime!

09:48AM PDT - We're both on text right now, for the most part it'll be Josh on text once the thing gets started

09:52AM PDT - 9 minutes until start time

09:52AM PDT - Anand here back on text, so can we talk about CarPlay integration with Ferrari and in general?

09:52AM PDT - The experience didn't look particularly Apple-like from the Geneva videos I saw

09:53AM PDT - I feel like getting into automotive without going all in becomes a major challenge

09:53AM PDT - But Apple doesn't strike me as the type of company to start building reference iOS platforms for auto makers

09:54AM PDT - Then again I felt strongly that Apple wouldn't build its own microprocessor architecture at one point

09:55AM PDT - Auto makers have proven that they don't understand user interfaces or UI performance

09:55AM PDT - And 5-year development cycles are a pain to deal with

09:55AM PDT - If Apple wants to deliver a truly differentiated experience there, I feel like there needs to either be a hardware play or a strict set of requirements

09:56AM PDT - 5 minutes until we start

10:01AM PDT - Lights dimming, audience clapping

10:01AM PDT - We're a-go
