So noone can buy a ticket only to sell it and earn money.

puling?

“Each presentation is lead”

Shouldn’t that be ‘led’? (An editor would know.)

Bloody troll.

Obviously other evens in history have sold out faster. That honor may go to the Spice Girls in 2007 at thirty-eight seconds. The constraining factor of WWDC was meant to be the focus.

He killed MacWorld which both built and saved Apple, no thanks from AAPL brass. If they could figure a way to appease the dev’s without setting foot in SF, they’d do it. SJ’d feel more at home iChatting from his would-be Woodside iCave, if it ever gets built. The only reason one can imagine they go to Yerba Buena’s theater for non-show product releases is they don’t want the media and cameras on Apple property. Great that Steve “saved” Apple, but it will be a RELIEF when he, and his non-Apple corporate brass finally all step aside and let Apple follow one of it’s own biggest mantras: promoting from within. Sorry SJ.

Sure, the reasons you list could be valid, but the obvious one is that the exclusivity and “limited supply” factors play huge in Apple’s marketing strategy, and when news breaks of how quickly the WWDC sells out, it scores big points in Apple’s favor.

But since this an article about Apple it has to be said as record time.
