Oh but which one?
(Guess on updates)
The Mac mini? iBook? Shuffle? iLife 06? Plasma? (quickly trys to find more)
I like how I (and I'm sure the rest of you) are basically abusing threads to use as a chatroom, posting and reloading in hopes some sort of leak of information will be posted in this thread.
So, when will we one of us make an attempt at doing a Photoshop mockup, so that s/he can say "gotchya" to the rest of us?
Hate the eve of keynotes on a school night.

Sleep........Highly OVERATED!!! Not me. I bet our boy Steve's not going to sleep. He's to fired up!
And if I do sleep, the MAC dreams are gonna flow. Can't wait for the decisive hour when SJ say's the majic words... "Good Mourning and Welcome to MWSF!" Yeah baby!!!
ROFL, no those are not new macs
LOL, of course everyone noticed that. Sorry to disappoint you but what you see are just 3rd party products - search it by Google, these barebones are empty, ready to place your Mac inside it and make it replacable this way (they are equipped with small wheels). I thought that it was known? They are selling small ones, middle ones and big ones and enclosure looks exactly like Powermac (of course, it is designed for Mac users, would you expect PC design?). It has really nothing to do with new Apple computers. But you made me laugh how we are all overexcited these days, thx for that!

Bollocks. No need for the drama.
Lets take the emotion out of your post and bring this back on topic.
The key word you used is 'TRIED'. Damn straight, TRIED! But noone has succeeded have they? Apple is known for taking technology that exists and making it simple, intuitive and ... cool. Apple will in fact do better - not sure why they would aim for worse. If they did 'no better or no worse' why even invent or be a corporation out to make money?
Look at what the IPOD did. It, and I speak not as a fanboy , but as a marketing executive with an MBA in strategy. It revolutionized the music industry, led to the itunes store, led to itunes going onto WINDOWS machines, video ipods, video shows, now whats next?
I would love to think this was all a master brilliant plan but my bet is that this strategy evolved.
Like it or not, Jobs is a brilliant MARKETEER and it is fun to watch a master at his craft at work.
I did not mention any nonsense about killing anyone or not having you post.
As far as your comment about dumping Apple stock and 'moving on', it is you my friend who is acting emotionally and not using any business sense.
People in glass houses and all that jazz ....

"Good Mourning?" Mourning? I sure as hell don't want to be doing any mourning at a MWSF.
Good Morning would be far more appropriate. As would "magic."

i want to wake up at the keynote ... anyone care to be nice enough to do that?
agh. lucky. I just get a classroom during lunch w/ the one Mac geek there is where I go. *sulks in corner*reberto said:
jk.
I mean, about the sulking part. Have fun. I'm in such a good mood. Oh, crap. I jinxed it. 
amateurmacfreak said:Tell your girlfriend that she's ultra-sweet for doing so, and that it's your fault everyone on Macrumors has seen it about 30 times.
Oh, and I say this all in good humor. I can't get too bitchy the night before MWSF.
Extra credit should be given for scanning a newspaper edition of the comic strip....
Um. Joking? Or no. Ok. I guess that is so last page. XD But it is big. Really big. It's messed up sometimes but.... everyone's getting this. Whoa. I wonder if they'd sell Star Wars if they did movies. XD B/c they're some anti-piracy device on the DVD so you can't rip it.macd00d said:
Trying to buy music gives error 5555 or whatever the heck it is too.... btw.

You are 100% right about it being done, but... its never been done right. And saying apple will do no better or worse is saying they should never try to improve on anything ever again. Kind of a narrow minded way to think.
And I dont think he turned this into a "KILL THE WINDOWS USER" issue. Just questioned the intentions of someone with a screen name like yours. And by the way, Im a windows user too. Mac and windows, go figure.

Man THAT is the funniest crap i've seen in this thread so far..You should trademark it before Jobs gets ahold of it..

I'll sleep when I die. I've got rumors to read!
EDIT: OK at this point it isn't rumors its general OMGing.
macd00d said:Just curious... anyone else own Apple stock? For any that do, are you actually planning on holding it through the keynote tomorrow? I mean there is so much hype out there right now... that almost no announcement can live up.
I am, Apple should have a KILLER year.
