The official MWSF Keynote Countdown!

[SteveC]

I've been looking forward to seeing this year's MWSF keynote more than ever, mostly because of all the expectations surrounding the event. I can't wait to see how many of the rumors are true.

I'm doing my best to intentionally keep my expectations LOW though, so I'm not disappointed. ;) I know there should be plenty of great stuff announced. I just can't wait (but I'll have to)!

Maybe this thread will help me by enjoying this countdown as the event nears.... Yes, I have it bad. LOL

We're now at a little under 39 hours and 35 minutes until the keynote begins. :D

[SteveC]

Straight up midnight on the east coast. Exactly 36 hours! :D

No one has jumped in on the countdown, which is fine, but I hope no one minds me doing it either. :confused: If so, yell at me and I'll countdown without annoying anyone lol.

[CubaTBird]

on the west coast its 39 hours :eek:

[Duff-Man]

on the west coast its 39 hours :eek:Duff-Man says...the keynote is 9am PST...less than 36 hours now....the amount of time left is the same everywhere...sorry CubaTBird - you are now sent back to repeat Time Zones 101....heheheh ;) ....oh yeah!

[ravenvii]

35 hours!

Man am I hyped!

[Mechcozmo]

I just can't wait to be king-- er, watching the MWSF keynote!

Not quite the same ring to it.

[SteveC]

26 hours and counting. :D

10 AM here on the east coast. Tomorrow, at this time, we'll be little more than 2 hours from the big show.

Mechcozmo, how about this one...?

"Oh, I just can't wait to see Steve."
(Walk out on stage.)

[Arcus]

23.5 hours left. Less than a day....

I wanna leave work and go to sleep until noon tommorow. Man, catching a cold right about now would rock!!

[wdlove]

It's now 21.5 hours till the Keynote. As it appears now we aren't going to hear anything till after the Keynote, So maybe will will know something in 24 hours. I also have no real expectations, don't want to be disappointed once again.

[lordmac]

I wonder if the mods could put a count down timer up on the main page in the corner or something because that would be pretty cool.

only 20.5 hours to go I cant wait :D

[SteveC]

18 hours, 3 minutes and counting! I think, if I try REALLY hard, I might be able to get to bed early so morning will be here faster LOL.

[SteveC]

11 hours. :D

I think this thread has just about fulfilled its purpose. Time to let it sink soon. :)

[dotnina]

SteveC, is this thread just a way for you to boost your post count? :D

(10 hours. and 40 minutes. :D)

Edit: I was actually kidding about the post count boosting, but now I see I was right -- see pic! :eek:

Just for that, I vote this thread go to the Wasteland! :D

"Mr Jobs may have his sights on extending Apple in other new directions - perhaps a high-priced set-top box - rather than looking backwards.

"He has worked his magic in Hollywood before and would have the credibility to strike an alliance that might permit Apple to deliver movies and video to some sort of elegant digital home server."

saw it on bbc http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4162009.stm

[zelmo]

Oh well, I'll be in a meeting that starts exactly as the keynote starts, and will run just about the entire length. Guess I'll get the news after, assuming you can even get to any site that has the lowdown :rolleyes:

Yeah, I'm stuck with a customer from 10:30 CT until 1:30. I'll have to block out the fact that I'm missing all the good stuff, such that it is.

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

1 hour 4 minutes...

Go new headless eMac/iMac!!!

[Daveway]

T- minus 1 hour and counting.

[Daveway]

I'm still bumed I can't watch my first MWSF live. :mad:

[hotwire132002]

I'm going to have to miss at least some of it... I can't get out of school for it this year, because I have a test. :( (11:40-12:40 Eastern)

I'm lucky I was able to get out of school to watch the expo in the past, though. I guess it doesn't matter that much this year, since there's no webcast.

BTW--Is MacRumors going to have coverage this year? I haven't seen any announcements on the home page...

[markoibook]

Where is the best place to go for coverage of the keynote as it happens (bearing in mind no live webcast!)?

[the_mole1314]

Engadget.com will have coverage.

[paulypants]

35 minutes...

[toaster_oven]

i think themacmind.com has live coverage as well... any others?

[markoibook]

Check out www.macrumors.com homepage - info on keynote coverage now available

[spikeovsky]

The Beijing Mac User's Group will be covering it, too, even though it's 1am here.
http://www.beimac.com/mwsf2005.html

It will probably get a lot less traffic than the usual suspects, so it should be easier to get to (server's based in the US).
