Live Macworld 2007 Keynote Coverage

[Mal]

You know, I was going to wait and watch the keynote stream live (I love watching Steve present stuff that I've never seen or heard about before), but I think with photos this will be worth it. I'll be in class, hopefully it won't cripple my ability to pay attention, but it's a digital media class, so maybe they'll be just as interested.

I wonder what it is like standing in line for the keynote with all that excitment. I bet people start lining up on Monday. It must be exciting to be there in person. I wish they can have the keynote on primetime TV or perhaps CNN makes it a "live" news event like the president speaking.

 

[gloss]

This is gonna be fun.

 

[FleurDuMal]

Sorry if this has been asked, but when will this start in UK time?

 

[Porchland]

Im in the money

Yeah, my 20 shares will be working extra hard today! LOL!

Just for kicks, I may watch the live AAPL ticker on Yahoo! Finance during the keynote.

I think my friend that's there said he'd get in line about 9:00AM today, so it's not quite like that. There were probably a few people in line as soon as they could get in this morning (7:00AM or so?), but no one from last night. The Moscone Center wouldn't allow that probably anyways.

MacRumors is saving me the the couple hundred dollars I would have spent to attend the Keynote this year. Thanks!

Ohh you know the shares we hold with apple will go up.


The american express is loaded and ready to go. Just waiting for the o.k from MR.Jobs

 

[Peace]

can someone confirm how long the keynote will be? i've heard several places say 2 hours?

It is scheduled ( like last year ) for 2 hours.9AM-11AM PST.Might be 1-1/2 or 3!..With all the rumored stuff this might go till 12.Who knows.But i'd guess 2 hrs.

 

[dobbin]

BBC are reporting the rumour hype and also linking to MACRUMORS from the news story!!! Well done Auntie.

 

[Porchland]

US online Apple Store is still up.

Apple.com's pages are loading really slow right now, and the West Coast hasn't even got to work yet!

 

[Zwhaler]

I'll for sure wait for the Quicktime Stream. How long does it usually take until it comes online?

Me too. It's what I always do. It'll be nice to go in fresh.

 

[longofest]

Will there be photos from the keynote itself? Or just after on the main floor...

Both

GOlden Ticket

This is like Charlie and The Chocolate Factory - I half Expect Steve Wonka Jobs to appear with a limp...

 

[cxny]

Good Old Days

I wish I could wander over to Apple Soho to watch. I remember Jobs announce the first iPod on the satellite feed - didn't seem so earth shattering at the time but exciting none the less but I picked one up (and some AAPL as well!)

 

[shecky]

ahhh a photo on the macrumors live site. cool. pretty small pic so i guess it wont kill the bandwidth.

 

[Warbrain]

Well, I know that I'll be on a train heading to school while this is all happening, but I should be able to sit down in front of a computer at some point and check what they released.

Hopefully there'll even be something that I'll buy right then on the spot, too.

 

[FriarTuck]

Is there an official MacRumors MacWorld Keynote drinking game?


if not, let's get one going. I'll start...

*Every time Steve says "boom"
*Every time Steve says "cool"
*Every time Steve says "proud"
*If Phil Shiller appears on iChat, one drink
*If Phil Shiller waves when appearing on iChat, two drinks

 

[aleck]

Me too. It's what I always do. It'll be nice to go in fresh.

Are you two kiddin' yourselfes?

You will actually disconnect from the Internet for the entire day, not watch TV news, not speak to your friends whom will call you to chat up etc.

Just surrender, resistance is futile.

Gees, AAPL is cooking -- up another $.50 in the last 15 minutes. It's up $1.80 since trading opened about 45 minutes ago.

EDIT:

Wow. Ten minutes later, and it's up $2.00 for the day. It's already done half it's average daily volume in only an hour of trading.
