Hardly a big surprise...my countdown widget is getting me excited though...

brad.c · Dec 3, 2007, 03:50 PM

Oh, darn. I wanted to do it. I even have the black turtleneck, although it is sleeveless.

What kind of new machines will we get?

queshy · Dec 3, 2007, 03:53 PM

January 15th! That's forever from now!!!!

So, how many of you are staying home from work to watch? Or are you going to be watching at work?

earthsick · Dec 3, 2007, 03:53 PM

My guess is a new MBP, at least that's what I told my friend who wants to switch...

As if we didn't know this was going to happen.

More like, read the text-based summaries as they scroll by, since Apple won't do a live streaming video of the event anymore.

I'm sure I'll watch the keynote later that evening or the next day, when I get time.... but it sucks finding everything out initially, based on some quickly typed info from a member of the audience, sending it out.

I will for sure be watching from work. I will bring it up on the dual monitor I have hooked up...guess I will have to just work off of one monitor that day....

Thank goodness - the suspense was killing me!

Here's one hopeful vote that we'll see Aperture 2.0...

alana22 · Dec 3, 2007, 04:03 PM

They'll have to update the form factor of the Macbook and MBP, I would think. The white plastic especially.

I'm going to hold my breath for an aluminum ultraportable, because that would rock.

Eidorian · Dec 3, 2007, 04:04 PM

Do we have a Keynote countdown widget yet?

That or can we just reuse one...

Blaine · Dec 3, 2007, 04:06 PM

Anyone have a countdown gadget for vista?

daddywags214 · Dec 3, 2007, 04:07 PM

Oh MAN, Jobs? Anyone but him . . .

In other news, water is wet, and paper is made from trees.

chr1s60 · Dec 3, 2007, 04:09 PM

I wonder what Apple has in store for us. I am excited, but I am highly doubting an announcement that can top the excitement and hype that was involved with the iPhone announcement. It would be nice if they could do it again though.

ivan1234 · Dec 3, 2007, 04:12 PM

good news, i like it best when steve presents.

I hope its not one of those conferences where SJ gets off the stage to let others introduce things...

tyrnight · Dec 3, 2007, 04:21 PM

I just hope an announcement for new Mac Pro Hardware is included, Im waiting to buy mine until the new Penryn Xeons are available at Apple.

naroola · Dec 3, 2007, 04:22 PM

I think Steve's going to announce a final release of Safari for Windows and it'll be snappier!
