WWDC Keynote Video

Yesterday was the big keynote address at WWDC. If you're reading this, you've certainly heard the news about what was announced. Do yourself a favor and watch the video for yourself.

I'm going to make a brief note about the Apple guys who took the stage yesterday.

Tim Cook (B+) is really good as the master of ceremonies, and the Apple faithful seem to genuinely love the guy. He's incredibly calm in public, and that's quite a departure from Steve.

Phil Schiller (B-) has really grown since we first saw him a couple years ago. He's slimmed down a lot and his presentation style has certainly become more polished.

Craig Federighi (C-) needs more time in front of the practice mirror. Technically he's sound and he clearly knows his material, but his pacing is terrible. He really needs to SLOW down and take a breath between sentences. There are also a few too many uhs and ums. After watching him for 5 minutes, I feel like I've consumed a few cups of coffee.

Scott Forstall (A-) is clearly the class of the field on stage. His pacing, command of material and sense of humor are near perfect. There's never going to be another Steve, but Scott is as close as Apple's got in public.
