CNET, CBS, WWDC 2008, etc.

June 1, 2008

I can’t believe I only posted three updates since the last time I went to WWDC in 2006. That’s pretty sad.

Since I started over at CNET Networks I have moved on from news.com toreviews.cnet.com. It really doesn’t make much difference, I just don’t work on News tasks anymore.
Also, on May 15 ’08, it was announced that CBS would acquire CNET for $1.8 billion. In other words, I now work for Katie Couric and David Letterman :) . Folks here at CNET are pretty excited about the deal. I guess it’s a good thing — only time will tell.

I will be attending WWDC again this year. It’s going to be my second time so I’m quite excited. Steve is supposed to announce the long-awaited 3G iPhone and tell us more about iPhone SDK. The conference is sold out for the first time in its history. That means more elbows hitting me on the way to the keynote hall on the morning of June 9th.
Folks from VersionTracker took over product management of my CNET iPhone appso we’ll be attending a few sessions together. Speaking of iphone.cnet.com, my CiUIis getting some positive feedback from the open-source community. There is still a lot that can be done to the library to make it more robust, yet lighter, so I really hope more people will join in the development. I will sure be promoting the hell out of it at WWDC.
