Apple is nearly finished decorating the Moscone Center for WWDC 2013. Work began two days ago with giant Apple logos on the outside of the building, as well as large horizontal and street pole banners.
Spotted on some of the banners inside the Moscone Center is the tagline 'Where A Whole New World's Developing'.
Workers are also preparing the banners that have sometimes been covered with black sheets pre-Keynote in past years.
Update: MacStories has taken a new photo that appears to show a first-floor banner concealed with a white sheet instead of the black sheet that has been seen in prior years.
New this year are banners on the newly renovated Metreon shopping center across the street from Moscone West. The building houses a popular movie theater complex, a newly-added Target store, and a number of restaurants.
This is pretty much what I think is going to happen. Apple TV update that allows third party apps. HBO Go will be one of the featured apps - Kessler already outright said so back in February.
It's too early for the iWatch. Tim Cook talked about it at the AllThingsD and he sounded like he doesn't feel like they've got the right form factor yet. They won't release it until they feel that it will catch fire with teenagers.
Ah, I missed this feeling of Apple excitement in the lead up to a keynote event. I'm actually really excited about Apple TV right now.

A whole new world!
Look at the graphics, looks like an AppleTV puck to me. "A whole new world" for developers? Finally, we're getting 3rd party apps.
