Am I the only one....

Also, I was reminded of how irritating Roz Ho's voice is. And newly found out how irritating the Adobe CEO's voice is. When the guy from Wolfram was the normal one...

So I wasn't the only one then... Never heard her before, but that voice just got on my nerves.

I don't like math and care absolutely nothing about Mathematica, but the Wolfram guy seemed so enthusiastic, it was actually fun and interesting

The Intel CEO was a Pro...

I didn't learn too much, but I thought it was pretty good showmanship.

Definitely. Steve's presentation skills are second to none... I'm sure the h.264 just helped the RDF project more strongly...

h.264 is secret universal binary code for "reality distortion field"

it's true.

I thought that part was great...I was rolling on the floor. I like it when execs can be good sports. Larry Ellison should start coming to Apple keynotes.

Oooh, speaking of good reasons to watch the keynote...was anyone else duly impressed by how fast the Pentium 4 with Rosetta Stone ran Mac Office? Not too shabby....Most of the apps that they demoed with Rosetta seemed to be faster on the P4/3.6 than on my iBook G4/800... which, laugh all you want, is better, from my understanding, than what VPC provides in the other direction, and is better than what I've seen for most emulators.

I've always been a bit sceptical about emulation, but I am anxious to see what this will look like.

I'm getting more and more reasons to watch the keynote.

Looks like I'll be watching it tonight when I get home from work.

So what is going on here?
Switching to Intel.
Steve wearing dress pants and black shoes.

The sky is falling.

What's next?
Steve wearing a bow-tie? (oh.. wait)

No, Steve wearing a shirt with a collar...

LOL, I'm trying to decide if that would be better or worse than getting an Intel Inside sticker on the palmrest of the next iBook. I *know* I'm not going to buy it if it has the sticker...my vote is still out on Jobs in a tie. For some people, a tie is a natural expression of style. For others, it's like a leash around their neck, and he seems to be in the latter camp.

Get into the chemistry lab now... If they come with stickers, there will be a new Mac accessory channel -
iScrape - gets rid of stickers without residue
iChameleon - patches that cover stickers and match your Mac's exterior

I believe the PowerMac G5 was announced at WWDC. So sometimes big product announcements are definitely made there.

Yes, sometimes. The G5 (and last year the 30" Cinema) was definitely of major interest to developers, so it probably made sense to announce there. I know everyone's complaining that there were no new product anonuncements, but I for one found it refreshing. This keynote was about huge things in Mac development, and didn't waste too much time on consumer stuff (aside from the obligatory patting themselves on the back in the beginning... ). It might have been nice to have more details on what Intel processors will go in future Macs (it seems clear that it WON'T be the P4, that'll only be for the developer preview kits) but there's a lot of time between now and the expected launch of the first systems, so they probably don't know for sure themselves.
