Hello Engadget and Gizmodo.

 

[Insulin Junkie]

Hmm I wonder how many e-mail messages that guy who posted his e-mail address on the picture is going to receive after having circulated that picture... more than his Hotmail storage?

 

[JG271]

Ah, i was looking for a good live source.

@jpfarley : didn't you read the article?

 

[tMac85]

here we gooooooooo......let er' rip apple!

 

[Peace]

This is the best misinformed Keynote speculation ever!!

Good job Steve!

 

[bbmajor]

Nice! This is it! Enjoy everyone!

 

[alphaod]

Why wasn't MR invited?

 

[tremendous]

so, everyone excited?

 

[A.R.I.]

This is the best misinformed Keynote speculation ever!!

Good job Steve!

ya, too much input for a correct prediction...we´ll see

uuuuuh, so exciting!

 

[xnitrorider62x]

All right! Lets go Apple. *hopes for his apple wishes to come true*

 

[wheezy]

I hope it's not that awful thing we saw last night, Ives hasn't messed up yet really, I'd hate for his hindenburg to be now on the MBP just as they're starting to become a major major player in the notebook market.

I don't like that Apple is slowly dropping off ports, first optical, now perhaps FW400 on the MacBook (I have one, and I use 400!! Keep it!). Consumer-land might be heading towards wireless, but I'm pretty sure the Pro arena likes to plug things in. And sometimes it's just not feasible to upload xGB files to a server. Like with me, the fastest I get at home (where I work) is 1.5DSL. I still like burning DVD's for clients.

 

[tremendous]

so, everyone excited?

i'm not, btw.

 

[jazzcrime]

off for a two hour powernap then some late night shopping hopefully!!!

This is the best misinformed Keynote speculation ever!!

Good job Steve!

I think you are dead on accurate with that speculation! I can't wait to see the true new products!

 

[coma2black]

I am really looking forward to see what is apple going to show us!

Despite my disappointment that they will not release a macbook with current specs and new "alu package" for 1100$ i just can not wait to see what the refreshed line will bring.

enjoy in the show!

 

[bananas]

finally it happens. I've been waiting for these laptops for a year now.

 

[meagain]

I HATE these leaks! Way to ruin the fun.

 

[jpfarley]

Ah, i was looking for a good live source.

@jpfarley : didn't you read the article?

I read it, just excitedly repeating, I guess. Lots of wait makes you crazy! Even though some of the speculation is off, it's still exciting to see what new things are going to come out. Like Christmas or something.

 

[AliensAreFuzzy]

That doesn't have the same taper in the corners as the picture of the MBP from before

 

[amac4me]

Wow at this rate, who needs a Steve Jobs presentation?

 

[InsightsIE]

Cant wait to see what they dish out. I guess I'll get a 15'' next year

 

[overanalyzer]

Since it's after 2am here I think I might actually sleep through this one and watch the full keynote when I wake up. But maybe that's just being jaded after staying up for "Let's Rock" and there being nothing unexpected.
