Apple's footprint in the world of technology has grown by leaps and bounds during the last decade. The   Worldwide Developers Conference has been a staple for Apple since 1963, but it wasn't until 2002 that the conference became a major launch pad of new products. The previous VANDCs have brought us products and software such as Power Mac G5, Mac Pro, Macbooks, iPhone, Pad, new apps, OS X versons, major 'OS updates etcetera. For an Apple fan, WWDC is always full of surprises. It is also the world's most thorough developer's conference, featuring over fifty lectures by Apple engineers and designers. The 2013 VVVVDC is scheduled for the 10 to 14 June at San Francisco. Let's take a look at some of the rumours and expectations from this year's WWDC.

If analysts and pundits are to be believed, we could be soon seeing fingerprint sensors (possibly on the menu button) as part of the next iteration of the iPhoirt0 and iPad. Some rumours point towards the arrival of NFC, opening the platform to mobile payments with the use of fingerprint sensors, In order to expand the line of Apple produOls, Apple will be integrating many iOS features in the OS X. which wall probably teed to the voleass oi OS X tog. bta only after they have arirsounoed iOS 7 OS X ts expected to become wen more user friendly with the help of seurchpad apps Apple tiopes that it would lead to more users swathing over to Macz Apple TV has been rumoured to be Just wound the corner, although we should not exPecf a television set made by Apple It is not a fai-lefiched Idea.

Wrapping Up

For the second time last month, Syria went dark. According to NBC News, the g!obaI Internet tracking firm Renesys confirmed the outage began at 10 AM in Syria, which is indicated on Google's Transparency report as •vell. "Ever since the top of the hour we have not been able to get any measurements to any of the machines that normally respond in Syria: James Cowie, of Renesys. told NBC News. After an 8- hour and 25-minute break, the firm saw signs that phone lines and Internet activity returned.

This was Syria's second Internet blackout last month, following a 19-hour blackout that began on May 7. The outage pattern during that event was "very similar" to today's data, Cowie said. it takes place very quickly, as if a switch was being thrown". So far, the data does not confirm a cause for the outage, though Cowie explains that a partial outage, caused by Ovum, damage to a cable, has a different data signature. Syria has less than three inten1111 service providers, fewer than most countrillt which makes it particularly vulnerable to outages. politically driven or otherwise.

According to The Next Web. after nearly 10 years, Adobe is leaving behind its Creative Suite to focus entirely on a new suite of Creative Cloud-only apps and services. Announced during its MAX conference, Adobe launched the "CC" family, featuring Photoshop CC, InDesign CC, Illustrator CC, Dreamweaver CC and Premiere Pro CC. It also announced deep integration with Behance social features, desktop access to Typekit and more. Adobe's flagship product. Photoshop, has received a number of updates, some predictable features as add-ons, apart from other more interestinq enhancements. Also, Photoshop stantard and Photoshop Extended have been merged together into a single product. For Illustrator, the main addition is Touch Type, which Adobe claims will give users more control by allowing single characters to be manipulated like individual objects: "Experiment with moving. scaling, and rotating, knowing you can change the font or edit at any time". InDesign is receiving native 64-bit support, features a redesigned Ul, and now supports HiDPI and Retina displays. Other, more curious additions include a OR Code Creator. If you rely on upgrade paths, you may be pleased to know that anyone with a CS 3 or later serial number will get their first Creative Cloud year for $29.99 per month — a reasonable deal, For everyone else, complete Creative Cloud access will set you back $49 99 per month, or you can purchase a single app subscription for $19.99 per month.
