It makes as much sense as not capitalizing the first letter in a product name but capitalizing the second.

Okay, here's a deal. When you release a product then you may capitalise the beginning of every word! Apple does this not in a sentence just as a product name. They wouldn't say "Get The New iPod For Free Today With A New MacBook". They would only put that in the title not in the body.
 
It would be great if Macrumors could give readers the ability to hide the quasi-spoiler comments that people always seem to post on the spoiler-free thread. (Kinda like engadget does with their comments)

If you are daring enough to take a look, you can just hit a (+/-) button to display the post.

It seems like people HAVE to tell about accidentally hearing some news, and even if you don't mean it, your REACTION is often a spoiler.
 
Impatiently waiting for the live feed. I have classes all day today so I heard the name but thats all... I'm hoping I can see it before my 6:30pm class. Please? :(
 
Oh crap. My neighbor (whose husband works at an Apple store) is at my house. Oh well, I'll just have to crank that Semisonic and hope I don't hear anything.
 
My music-related Top 12 for 2009:

1. Iron Maiden - Flight 666
April 21st, Maiden Day worldwide - a celebration of the best Live Act on Earth, taken to even greater heights (literally). Up the Irons!

2. The Beatles - Remasters Box Set
Years in the making, the long awaited re-release of the Fab Four's discography is a pleasure to the ears and a testimony of their genius.

3. Katatonia - Night Is The New Day
These guys worked slowly towards this moment for the past 11 years - a masterful, haunting work of art which transcends categorisation. One of the best albums of the decade.

4. Porcupine Tree - The Incident
Fantastic concept (and autobiographical) album, inspired by the way in which the media create emotional hysteria about insignificant matters. Steven Wilson demonstrating, once again, he's one of the most prolific and genius composers nowadays.

5. The Devin Townsend Project - Addicted
How do you describe an album that puts together the absolute insanity of Devin Townsend and the amazing vocal performance of Anneke van Giersbergen (ex-The Gathering)? Definitely one of the most criminally addictive albums of the year!

6. Alice In Chains - Black Gives Way To Blue
Unexpected surprise of the year? Without a doubt! 14 years after the last studio release, Jerry Cantrell brings back the band with an album that would make Layne Staley very proud.

7. Paradise Lost - Faith Divides Us - Death Unites Us
Somewhat unexpected (despite the hints on their previous In Requiem), this return to the doom sounds of their Shades of God / Icon / Draconian Times era, after years of average and unbalanced releases which followed the unique and wonderful Host. Brought me back to a time when these guys were my favourite band.

8. Depeche Mode - Sounds Of The Universe
A pleasant return to the dark sounds and a true celebration of classic analogue synths. Sublime!

9. OSI - Blood
Third album from Kevin Moore's (ex-Dream Theater) project, with the collaboration of Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree), Mikael Åkerfeldt (Opeth) and Tim Bowness (No-Man). Post-metal, ambient/experimental at its best.

10. Amorphis - Skyforger
Long gone are the times of Thousand Lakes, but this is another strong step
in the evolution of their peculiar and ever fresher sound. Excellent melodies, without exception.

11. Dream Theater - Black Clouds & Silver Linings
A new epic from the ubiquitous prog rock/metal project. Never less than great and with an impressive cover bonus album (Rainbow, Iron Maiden, Queen, King Crimson,...).

12. Simple Minds - Graffiti Soul
A welcome return to form of an unfairly ignored band. Probably the album U2 have been trying to record for over a decade.


What about you?!


Having listened to 311 since about 5th grade, it was through their fanbase that I was introduced to porcupine tree a few years ago. I just did a drive several times between DC and NY and for almost the entire ride I listened to Porcupine Tree and Alice in Chains! (on the other drives threw in some Tool and Bassnectar)
 
i propose a thread to be started ' i was spoiled now i have to tell everyone i was spoiled' so as NOT TO POST IT HERE!
 
Im watching "wall street" right now and I have to say ...
.... Charlie Sheen is a horrible actor.
 
Considering how far-reaching the news of this event is. It's kinda cool to think that we're in the extreme minority who still don't know anything.
 
I think I can't wait much longer than an hour or two. My dad will end up commenting on the device at the dinner table. :( Hopefully they have it out by then
 
im waiting as well, when is the keynote video going to be up and where can i find it as soon as it is up?
 
Tower-Union, Shake n Bake and the rest - What the hell is wrong with you?
its a NON SPOILER THREAD talking about names, or products or whether you are happy or sad GO DO IT SOMEPLACE ELSE! Honestly, people. its a NON SPOILER THREAD! I really don't understand how we can put it to you any other way
 
Does anybody know how long the video will be?

What time did the keynote end?
 
It's 9am in Melbourne and I have to do everything possible to not spoil it for myself... so I'm watching Se7en
 
I think I can't wait much longer than an hour or two. My dad will end up commenting on the device at the dinner table. :( Hopefully they have it out by then

Same here.

Hey, I just wanted to point out that if you haven't been paying attention (for the record "attention" looks like a French word) to my activity for the past day or so, you don't know what the name is. But it was always 50/50 between two names.
 
Cockroach. Depending on whether people read what you posted. You just confirmed that there is or there is not a new device. ARGHH

FOR GOD SAKE PEOPLE - NON SPOILER!!!
