Jobs Excited about Device, Keynote?

I think Jobs is going to announce his retirement from Apple. He's tired of all this computer nonsense and going to focus on a fantastically new and shiny rendered version of Snow White. Or some other regular Disney crap for that matter.

I need to ask. Has anyone ever heard of an instance of a Mac user having a heart attack from getting overly excited about a Mac event?

Seriously because I think someone is going to explode before Tuesday.

I just hope there is no one else around, because if this teasing continues my numbers suggest they will take out half a block. Never underestimate the energy released from a hyped up Mac fan. :D

I think I might explode:eek: :D I don't know what to do anymore, time is going SO SLOWLY. I dont know how I'm gonna sleep tonight....
 
But if we will all remember, Jobs also spouted effusively about the Segway, and we all know how that turned out.

:eek:

WTF??? :confused:

Just clicked on the link and the title changed. Looks like they removed the word "Keynote" in the title. But do a mouse over Bill Gates and text to the right shows the original title. Hahahaha

I'm missing something. You object to someone other than Apple using the term keynote to discribe a keynote address? Just because they call their software "Keynote" doesn't mean they own the word...
 
The big surprise product they're going to release is Duke Nukem Forever, iPhone edition.

I love how all the financial shows on TV are stating that if Apple doesn't produce an iPhone on Tuesday the stock will take a serious hit. Since when did rumors become facts? They're the ones who are pushing this on everyone... all these analysts speaking as if they've had a guided tour of Apple's top secret labs. Don't get sucked in by the hype.

This is why Apple has to release an iPod Phone, regardless if they had plan to do so,or not. The shareholders is also a huge customer, and the main target of the keynotes. Do not forget that. The keynotes are not for selling products, it's to sell the company, the Apple brand.


/Edit/ The decission to release an iPod Phone isn't even Apple's anymore. The shareholders demand an iPod Phone. Poor Jobs, he is not in charge of everything anymore. On the other hand, he could be behind the leaked rumors... :)

I can't temper my excitement! I can't stop thinking about Tuesday!

And I'll be in class or commuting during the keynote!


NOOOOO!!!!

well, if only you had one of Apple's new iPhones with integrated mobile high-speed connection and web browser , then you would be able to follow the keynote WHILE you're in class or commuting!
 
Yeah.. could be retirement. We'll see. I wonder if that would be a "I'm sick, I need my time", or "I'm moving to Disney".

Then again, if we want to go out on limbs, Michael Dell is giving a presentation at CES, simultaneously with Steve Jobs. Maybe they'll announce that Dell will be selling Macs that fall between the MacPro and MacMini?!
 
It seems like for the past two years, I've spent the days leading up to a keynote or other Apple event calling people hoping for the iPhone morons, but I think I'll refrain from that this this time around. With the the the Way LCD TVs are going, I wouldn't be surprised to see TV sized displays(those I don't think they'll call them TVs, just big displays for your iTV), and HDMI input on all models, though the first part is more wishful thinking not entirely out of the realm of possibility, but I think the HDMI thing stands a good chance(didn't the iTV demo have HDMI), and start looking for HDMI output on Macs in the coming years, especially when Macs get BluRay/HD-DVD.

I'm thinking it's gonna be a giant moon-like space station equipped with a giant laser capable of destroying entire worlds. Probably going to be called the iMacStar. When the laser is fired and the planet explodes it lets off that Mac restart sound... doooooooooooooooooooooooong.

And yet, something so massively destructive would still have a place to plug in your iPod...

I'm just banking on seeing a release date for Leopard, after that I'm doing a full conversion from PC to iMacs+products.
So much hype on the iPhone, I wouldn't be surprised if he just touched base on the progress of the iPhone and released something completely unexpected (you know, since everyone is expecting the iPhone now...)
With great anticipation, and rock hard nipples, I'm awaiting the keynotes for tomorrow. :D
 
The International Herald Tribune article originated with the New York Times (they own the IHT) and it appears in today's Times business section (page 1).

Phone will be a thin client running high-end apps (like Final Cut and the latest games) on Cupertino servers.

I just read this morning they want to make a segway illegal on public roads here in the netherlands. I wonder if they'll succeed...

Probably the boldest statement I've heard so far! If true, then it's really big :) I'm not keeping my hopes up, though

Mind you though, was he really that excited about the Macintosh? I mean he knew it would be a pretty important computer, but surely he didn't realise just how revolutionary, influential and ground breaking it would be...
 
Between rumor sites and financial sites, I've heard so much about the Apple phone that I can feel it in my hand...heck, I can almost make a call on it. It's beautiful!

Apple actually releasing the phone would be an anticlimax.
