Inside Apple (at Yahoo)

If anyone is looking for iPhone developers, we will have some bandwidth shortly after the New Year and will be happy to take on a new project

It was insightful. It was not just boosterism for his book. It actually gave useful insights into what Apple's culture is and why it has been so successful despite defying "conventional wisdom".

Hi folks,

I am a co-founder and CTO at Clarius Systems, a startup in Silicon Valley that is re-imagining the way business users interact with enterprise content. We're funded by Sequoia Capital and led by industry veterans. We're looking for top-notch iOS developers for leading our mobile application effort.

Very Nice Meetup.

I am on the talent acquisition team at Duck Duck Moose, creators of educational children's apps for iPhone and iPad.

We have won 14 Parents' Choice awards and a CES award for our work. We are funded by Sequoia Capital and Lightspeed Ventures with an investment from Stanford University and we are looking to build out our company.

We are looking to hire several top iOS software professionals including developers and at least one team leader.

Please contact me at bob (at) duckduckmoose (dot) com.

Thanks Adam. Nice presentation.

I feel that iphone would lose more market share by Android, and would drugged into the price competition.

I recommend Apple to create new accessory phone market as the iPad companion device. Why we need to carry both iphone & iPad together?
Too many duplicated features, and iphone become a just a phone function device for iPad user. So, I recommend Apple to create new accessory feature phone.

Addition to the new device, I recommend Apple to acquire LVMH To fill out the gap of Steve Jobs, and sell new devices through WW DutyFree shops through TOP watch brands with expensive price.

We can learn a lot from the history of watch industry. That is how Apple's stock would goes up again, and may reach to One trillion dollar company instead of going down with 1~2 hundreds billion dollar company. How do you think?

I have unique HMI solutions for Apple for their next AppleTV remote controller. Best,

Great Meetup!

Very interesting presentation -- I like the focus on the later Apple, a period much less covered in Valley folklore than the early days.

Nice presentation

Excellent presentation.

Adam is a great speaker with I love his insights into local Companies.

Tim, is Apple going to buy Yahoo? Sounds like a great, unfounded rumor. Guess they could call the merged companies Yapplhoo!

With 500 people attending, will this be live streammed too?

I just came from NY and would like to attend this meetup. I'm on the waitlist - will I get in if I show up?

I'm interested in meeting people tonight who could work with me on transitioning my photo upload and editing website into a mobile app. If interested and if we don't connect tonight shoot me an email at dasjell@ymail.com.

Have you been following Renaissance? We've been announcing new speakers and today posted a press release. http://renaissance.io/pressreleases/renaissance_in_san_francisco

Two of our newest speakers are Louie Mantia and Dan Scheinman. You might know Louie as the designer of Tap Tap Revenge, or Twitterrific for iPad, or GarageBand for iPad, or iTunes 10, or Square Wallet... do you get the idea, here? I met Dan through a mutual friend after this story was published about him in the Mercury News: http://www.mercurynews.com/business/ci_22146569/moneyball-valley-style-investor-uses-age-bias-advantage

I'm posting here because tonight I'll announce that until midnight tomorrow night (Tuesday 12/18), the "svios" discount code is good for 20% off Renaissance registration.

Anyone who is signed up before tonight's meetup will get a guaranteed free copy of Adam's book "Inside Apple". Must be present to win. :)

Anybody going there from mountain view? I'd appreciate if somebody does carpooling

Hi All,

I am looking for really good mobile app developers who have worked on speech recognition side of it. Someone who has experience with SIRI, Tell Me, Nuance, VLingo etc. I am trying to work on a concept and would like to talk to you more and see if you would be able to help me with it.

I can also be reached at eshadit@gmail.com

Is there a visitors' parking near Yahoo! URLs Cafe?

When will Apple come out of the dark ages regarding developer
support?

Some low-lights:
Its impossible for a developer to search the bug database to find out if a bug with the SDK or tools has already been reported or if there is a know workaround for said bug.

It's clear that Apple's approach of keeping their people compartmentized overflows into the SDK as there are lots of inconsistencies in the various APIs and builtin view controllers - just try to add a photo to an SMS message in your app (you can't, but the user can if they use iMessage directly). That's just one example.

At every Apple keynote it seems, we're told about how many credit cards iTunes has on file, but it never leads anywhere. Why has Apple shied away from stepping into payments industry with full force? Is Apple working on anything interesting (other than Passbook) in this domain?
Also, when's the Apple TV set coming out, and what will it look like?

Whatever happened to Steve Job's promise of an open FaceTime standard?

Adam Lashinksy is as close an Apple-watcher as they come.

I'm expecting that we'll have lots of time for questions, so as a warmup, please post any questions that you have for Adam here. Like these:

• What will be Scott Forstall's next project?
• What's the plan for Passbook?
• When will Apple buy Nest? Tesla? Yahoo?

Your turn.

I just ordered 10 copies of Inside Apple to give away in a drawing at the meetup. We'll have five available to anyone and five that will go to Renaissance attendees as a thank-you for signing up.

Or to be sure you have one for Adam's autograph, order one from Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/145551215X

I attended Adam Lashinsky's Apple presentation at the 2012 Carmel Authors and Ideas Festival; it was great!

Hey guys! Thank you for having me! We're coming from North Carolina and look forward to this meet up!
