re: Phil Schiller (and Eddy Cue) at 2014 WWDC
I saw that someone posted a statement here that Phil Schiller hadn't been at WWDC yesterday. This was not long after I posted my iDevice-as-home-remote-control reminder (from 10 years ago!). I knew this statement about Phil was patent nonsense since I'd seen a photo of him at WWDC before the keynote began, but haven't had time to rebut that until now. So here goes:
5:22pm
We’ve already spotted Phil Schiller, Eddy Cue and Craig Federighi, ...

I remember that this Phil-Schiller-wasn't-at-WWDC nonsense was accompanied by a he-must-be-on-his-way-out speculation, which of course is that much more b.s.. It's true that Phil wasn't onstage, but he obviously wouldn't have had much to do onstage this time with no new hardware to sell (Phil is a marketing guy). Eddy wasn't onstage either, but while he might have had something more to say than Phil, I think his contribution will come more when Apple announces the full import of Siri's integration with its new HomeKit, which I believe was anticipated nicely by the post(s) I'm responding to.
The WWDC focus went where it needed to be right now, with Apple's plentiful new software (Craig is Apple's software chief). Duh.
I don't hang around here much these days, but it took me roughly five minutes to detect, confirm, and ignore one obvious troll today, and I just don't have time to deal with trolls when my good friend Iggy remains so dependably close at hand. Y'all could help everyone by doing the same. |
