Upgraded — Get a new MacBook every two years. From $36.06/month with AppleCare+ included.
Layers is a great idea: a conference for the iOS and Mac design community that coincides with WWDC, just two blocks away from Moscone in San Francisco. WWDC week is a great week to be in San Francisco — as Jason Snell noted last month, it’s become the heart of the Apple world’s annual calendar. (Layers’s main programming runs Tuesday and Wednesday — no one’s going to miss the WWDC keynote.)
The venue looks cool, and the speaker lineup is terrific — headlined by design legend Susan Kare. (I’ll have the privilege of interviewing her on stage.) Through end-of-day Friday (midnight PDT), Daring Fireball readers can save $50 with the code “daringfiresale”.
