It gives me a 404 error (although I don't think it actually says 404) stream not found.

 

[firsttube]

thank you for showing me the coolest keyboard shortcut to date.

Not a problem. You can also take shots of sections of the menubar, dock(when not hidden), individual icons, etc. cheers!

16:1, also known as Super-Mega-Panoramic WideVision-O-Rama-Scope(tm).

Crap, that's funny!

Apple store has gone down!!! ipod updates? or some new device i assume!!

 

[Dr.Gargoyle]

I think it's obvious.

"It's showtime" can mean only one thing.

An Apple phone.

*glances around nervously*

I don't see the logic in it, but what the heck.
I hope you are correct, got my cc cocked and loaded.

yes, make sure your flux capacitor is on and running properly, hop into the DeLorean, and go forward in time about an hour.

or, be logical and wait until the event actually, ya know, starts.

Beatles on ITunes?

So, here's something to speculate about in the last hour leading to the event. Jobs usually likes to bring out some holdout artist that's putting their catalog on iTunes. So since the event is being simulcast in London, any chance the Beatles albums will be trotted out on iTunes during the event in addition to the movie goodness?

 

[skunk]

Interesting coincidence! My pants are down, too!

Are you in Paris?

Apple Sweden store is down too... Did the store go down recently?

 

[joeboy_45101]

Ok, It now looks like the Apple Store is down.

But, we were all expecting that anyway.

Wow if they add $3-$4 rentals at 480p with that kind of studio backing I will be watching a movie from the iTMS tonight.

Don't be silly. It's blatantly a Merom update for the MBP.

Actually, in all seriousness, I think by "It's Showtime" they mean that Steve Jobs has secretly had the body of Joseph Stalin cryogenically frozen in his basement, and tonight during the keynote he is going to defrost him and bring him back to life...

...at which point Joseph will introduce the iPhone.

With pants down I think Showtime is when we all compare our hardware -- and see who has a 'nano versus a 60GB -- and who has socks down there for protection...

Ans Seasought if you have a 'nano then you should glance around nervously

WAY TOO SLEEPY TO THINK SERIOUSLY

EWW EWWWWWWW
That's just nasty man, nasty!

Yes. And John, Paul, Ringo and George will introduce it in person.
