Rethinking WWDC

When Apple's developer event, the World Wide Developer Conference, sells out in less than three minutes, something is broken.

Here's a vivid and articulate collection of developer responses that's full of insight and provides serious food for thought.

Wow, that was fast. At this rate, WWDC 2014 will sell out before Apple even has tickets available for sale. And if you need proof developers are still very interested in the OS X and iOS platforms, they managed to pack plenty of evidence into a two minute window.

Jeff and Bryan take a look at what's up with IDG rescheduling the annual conference for 2014, what that means for exhibitors and attendees, and whether or not the move is a good thing. They also have some thoughts about what may be in store for iOS 7, and even manage to invent a new animal.
