Ouch! Even with the low bandwidth page in place during the keynote, that must have hurt the old wallet ($$$$) bandwidth++

Anyway, great job on the live keynote updates, they were very informative :)

Half of those 860,000 views were most likely from Spymac members, seeing as Spymac was down for the keynote (great move there :rolleyes:).

You keep this site in good order. Thanks for the coverage, thanks for feeding us with a constant stream of curious, interesting, trivial and not-so-trivial, wonderful, and well, all kinds of information.

Also a big general thanks for keeping this site gr8!

Ditto 'Hear, Hear'

A daily visit to Macrumors and MacBytes can take a while but keeps me fully informed.

Keep up the great work.

Thanks
