Did you see that? Did you SEE that?! Apple just kicked off the Worldwide Developers Conference with a bang—no, make that a KER-BOOM. Maybe I was just starved for exciting Apple news after the 230-day layover from the company's last event, or maybe I was swept away by the excitement of the press-conference crowd, but I am in full-blown hype mode right now. Personally, I think Jony Ive nailed the new look of iOS 7. (See ya, green felt and leather stitching!) I'm thinking of signing up as a developer just so I can download the beta version—my old iOS 6 home screen suddenly seems depressing without minimalistic icons, transparent overlays, and pastel colors. And how about the new Mac Pro, huh? Apple not only kept the long-ignored line alive, but they made this version the most desirable thing ever to run on electricity. If you want to read more about it and everything else that Apple announced, we've got plenty of stories for you at MacLife.com. At our site, you can also learn how to keep multiple lists of contacts on one OS X account, read our review of the surprisingly solid World War Z shooter for iOS, and much more. That is, if you can focus on anything other than the sweet stylings of iOS 7 and the shiny black Vader-ness of the Mac Pro for a few seconds. I'm not sure that I can right now. Chris Slate Editor-In-Chief, Mac|Life @ChrisSlate Share this newsletter:   NEWS HOW-TOS With iOS 7, design is back. Jony Ive's revision of iOS 7 has finally been unveiled at Apple's 2013 Worldwide Developers Conference, and it's so much more sleek and attractive than many had anticipated, and it comes with several new features that distinguish it from the iOS we've known and largely loved over the years. While Contacts does not allow for multiple databases (unless you want to use multiple accounts in OS X), there is an easy solution when you have a single shared OS X account: using Groups.

Unlike most movie tie-ins, World War Z is more than interactive propaganda, and will please both fans eagerly awaiting the film and gamers looking for a solid mobile action shooter.
