How long would people in the USA say "Happy New Year" to each other?
I think the appearance of the picture is a bit long lasting for a simple "Happy New Year".
I don't expect anything revolutionary by Apple on Macworld though. Revolutions don't sell well. Common peopl won't buy things that are way too different from what they are used to. Apple Geeks and Computer Geeks in general (most of 'us' here fall into the one or the other category or both) surely will, but that's not enough to make a Business out of that. Remember the Newton: That was a Revolution. No we will only see evolutionary development, regardless of the Apple total eclipsing a voluminous light source.

Design Suite to compete with Adobe?
What with Adobe announcing that they're bringing Premiere back to the Mac platform--maybe they got whiff of Apple coming out with a Design Suite (Photoshop/Illustrator/InDesign/DreamWeaver competitors) that Apple will announce at MacWorld?
Or maybe Apple will just add a photo editing and drawing program to iLife and/or iWork? And those apps will be the basis for the pro suite (just as iPhoto begat Aperture and iDVD begat DVD SP)?

I meant I don't predict anything revolutionary to come out. Ingenious, isn't it?
LOL, all we need is a Apple revolution, or an apple 360
. iWii60 iTv will help me watch more tv shows. My roommate has bought almost all the tv shows from itms. now i will be able to watch all of it without having to hang out with them the whole time.
In case there is still anyone left who doesn't think this image relates to MacWorld:

Do you really think you are getting them that early? I think 2020 at the earliest.
I do think that this picture has been very overanalyzed.
iChat Mobile PICS Relased!!!

WOW!!!!

WOW!!!!
My prediction is they will release a Mac Pro mini and a external illuminated keyboard. That would be so cool. The keyboard might also be aluminum.
It does seem that NZ is way down the list (as is Australia).Yeah, deals announced with the majors. Movies, iTV. Coming to the UK in 2009, to New Zealand in 2018.
I'm wondering if Apple can make a different kind of DENT in this problem.
TV has evolved hugely
1) The Internet is global. Why have country specific deals?
2) What will iTV be called?
Could Apple cut a deal with SOME studios for worldwide distribution rights? Some networks do have global control of their existing content. New content hasn't got licenses yet... If Apple could usher in this concept it'd be huge.
(same goes for music)
And to the name of iTV. iPod is Apple's baby and it's become synonymous with music players. Does Apple want a new name for it's iTV that becomes synonymous with Internet entertainment? We're sinking in acronyms (DVR, VoD, HD-DVD, SDTV, etc). Or do we just keep the plain old TV (tele=distant, vision=vision) acronym?
At the risk of being pedantic, TV is neither an acronym, being formed from a single word, nor a properly constructed compound, since tele comes from Greek and vision comes from Latin.
