Apple turns its homepage into a WWDC liveblog

+
+ +
+
+

WWDC is Apple's biggest event every year, and WWDC keynote always attracts tons of hype. Apple knows that. In the past years folks who can't (at work, in class, etc.) or don't want to watch the crappy live stream would follow the various WWDC liveblogs presented by tech sites like Gizmodo, TechCrunch, Ars Technica, etc. But this year the landscape has changed: Apple rolled its own card-based liveblog at www.apple.com/live/2015-june-event.1 Not only that; during the keynote, Apple redirected its homepage to the liveblog page, so it effectively turned its homepage into a liveblog:

Of course, you miss a few jokes and random shots of Tim or Craig from the official liveblog, but hey, who don't like that official feel?2

Here are a few screenshots of today's liveblog. Unfortunately I only know some entry level JS, so I wasn't able to capture the entire page, which uses dynamic DOM based on one's position in the page.

By the way, here are the full-page screenshots of OS X 10.11 El Capitan and iOS 9 previews. pageres recently cannot render web fonts, which is rather annoying, so I used Full Page Screen Capture to capture the shots. I then resized to 50% to reduce filesizes a bit.

  1. The crappy live stream is still there, but thankfully you wouldn't see it if you're on a browser other than Safari. Just look the screenshot of the banner.↩︎

  2. Yeah, I know some people don't; but those people are not likely to be Apple fans either.↩︎
