Apple Teases 'Exciting' iTunes Announcement Tomorrow

I have no idea what this announcement will be but I just hope it has a rear-facing camera and a retina display.
I think it's just the stinkin' Beatles Catalog.
Anything else would require a press event IMHO.
Why? They routinely release new hardware without press events. Not saying tomorrow is new hardware, but just pointing out that a lack of a press event is not proof that what happens won't be interesting.
iTunes Brain: Got a song in your head? We put it there!
Cupertino - Starting on Tuesday, November 16, Apple will begin streaming music from their new North Carolina server farm directly to users' brains!
"I'm a beta tester and this is awesome," said NY Times technology reporter, David Pogue. "It still has a few bugs that I've reported. For instance, I've had 'Baby' by Justin Bieber stuck in my head for days!"
Apple CEO, Steven P. Jobs has stated that iTunes Brain is going to start as a music only service but will eventually expand to movies, television shows, and images that emphasize submission to Jobs' will and world domination.
"This is truly an incredible day," Jobs said. "This is really going to change the way you interact with music. And, maybe, start a magical and revolutionary zombie apocalypse."
"There is no need to purchase any new hardware or download any new software," Jobs continued. "Set up is a breeze. After all, we've been in our users' heads for a while."

This might seem like a stretch, but my first thought when I saw those four clocks was that if you slightly rotated each of them, they would approximate the Beatles' semaphore letters on the cover of Help!:
- M.
All staff would be in by then, and ready for a hard day making sure nothing breaks? Definitely sensible!

That's quite a stretch.
I'll take that bet all day long. I'd say the odds of Apple announcing Twitter integration with the volume of a hiccup and then turning around and shouting that "Facebook/Ping" integration represents a day we will "never forget" is about 1000:1.
Facebook integration might be a footnote of their announcement, but the fact that this is 10am EST almost certainly ties it to their NC data center which is on EST. All of their previous announcements seem to be at 10am PST/PDT from Cupertino. Steve Jobs will almost certainly be in North Carolina for this one.
I think the smart money here goes on an iTunes-cloud service that is most likely tied to their new Apple TV.
I still expect them to announce a video stream for this event -- maybe streaming from their new data center.

Yeah. Or maybe this.
Dude stretched it so far that **** ain't goin' back to it's original shape dawg.
My Prediction....
Seeing as you lot keep randomly harping on about The Beatles....
The Beatles back catalog will be released on iTunes, launching the Cloud based service. (This will kick start the launch)
Facebook and Twitter will be incorporated so that you can share what your listening to. (This will attrack more users and $$$) (Spotify already has this feature)
oh and people won't get it and complain...

What if Apple TV DVR went right to the Cloud servers? Is that even possible at this point? I suppose they could have TiVo servers sending data directly to the Cloud servers and just use the Apple TV to connect to the cloud directly and stream like netflix. Or find some other way to send the data directly to Apple instead of requiring your TV to send the data to Apple to stream back.

a BIT of a stretch?
I really hope this isn't the Beatles either: 'A day that you'll never forget" - well I do a pretty good job forgetting about The Beatles music every time I hear another one of their dull, boring tracks. Besides, everyone who enjoys The Beatles will already own most of the music that they want already...
iTunes Cloud, MobileMe integration on the other hand I could really get into, although it seems a bit too big an announcement not to have a keynote for...

Same here. I hope this announcement is about anything other than Facebook integration.
And just like The Emperor's New Clothes, if you cannot hear the song then it just means you're stupid and your brain does not work correctly.
One beta tester reported "I can't hear anything -- I'm not getting any reception!" and Steve Jobs replied "You need to think different."
