Beginning at Midnight PDT (3 a.m. EDT) MacRumors forums will be closed due to the current Apple Expo Paris keynote program featuring Phil Schiller. MacRumors is planning to offer live coverage of the event. Forums will reopen for posting directly following the Keynote speech.

Live coverage and discussion will take place on our Internet Relay Chat (IRC) Channel. Those unfamiliar with IRC may download our Mac OS X MRChat1.0.1 client (800k) which will automatically connect you to the proper channel.

More advanced IRC channel users may use server: irc.krono.net, channel: #macrumors

wait wait wait. I don't wanna go IRC. I'm not that big a nerd. There gonna be something like we had at the last one, that page of bits text messaged out- "Jobs talking about jaguar and power of 64 bit...."?

I believe that is what is going to happen. the IRC chat is just a way to converse during the keynote as the forums will be closed, at least that's how I took it.
 
Does anyone here remember the MacRumors AOL chatroom we had some keynotes ago? That was a lot of fun.

Mac Pirates... Arrgh!

:p

It's worth it as long as the iMac is not a dud. 1 more hour.....1 more hour...(or it might be 2 hours....but I hope its 1)

:)

Edit: looks like its 2.....I gotta stay up until 4 AM for this, and then to like 5:30 for the whole thing? Sheesh...I am too addicted)
 
I don't think it's only 1 more hour as it's 7:03 in London right now. Paris is 1 hour faster I think. Then there's DST and stuff to take into account and it's way too early for that.
 
OMG - Add some rooms!

1:15AM CST and 300+ people in the chat.

I'm going to have a freakin' seizure!

It's 4pm here now. And it's meant to be at 6pm local time here. Just at knock off time too. Yay :)

I wish it was 4pm here.... It's 11:30pm, and I'm debating whether to stay up or not. Sadly, I've got Calculus first thing in the morning.
 
Around what time ET will we start getting news and info from the keynote?

I wanna know how late I have to stay up if I'm gonna do this.

I think it will be around 4:30 or so before we get any important info on anything worthwhile. The beginning will be recaps and small updates I think. A Tiger rehash basically. It'll be a while before we get the juicy stuff.

This should be it....forums going down soon. Next on list to go down: the Apple Store. :)
 
Get Some Sleep

Wake up nice and early, brew yourself a nice cup of whatever and check out all the cool new stuff.
