MacRumors Forums, Macworld San Francisco 2007 Coming Soon...

this will be my second MWSF. It seems unbelievable that a year has gone by, and also how far the mac world has come in that time. Where once the best mac processors lagged behind the best processors in the PC world, now the Macbook Pro is among the best and also the fastest laptops in the world, and likewise for the Mac Pro in desktops. The iMac is better than ever, and its a good time to be a mac addict 🙂.
 
I always love MWSF. It's just a perfect cap to the holiday season, and a wonderful way to start off the new year. 🙂

Looking forward to the pictures in the live coverage. Back when I had more free time, I'd lurk Ars' IRC room, but having it in my browser is much more convenient. Leave it up at work, and during my brief times at the desk, check the page. Thanks for all the hard work, arn & co.

Can't believe it's less than two weeks away now... really snuck up on me this year!
 
Why would someone rate this a negative?

Nice improvements. Looking forward to the MR coverage of MacWorld this year. The live coverage was excellent last year and will be better this year with photos. 😎
 
ITV means new IPOD

As it has been made quite clear within this thread, Jobs has mentioned the iminent release of the Itv. This IMHO is a big reason to expect a 6g ipod. I dunno if it will be full screen or touch screen, but I think Itv means a lot more than just a new product.

Itv being introduced causes a forced domino affect of things to be introduced at macworld.

1st. If Jobs is introducing an Itv, he must have more movie viewing contractual agreements, otherwise the Itv would serve little purpose. He made it quite clear using repeated showings of movies and shows using the Itv at the september event. If there is an Itv, Jobs must have more movie studios.
Plus: It would make perfect sense that more movie studios hop on to Itunes now, because previous rumors indicated they didn't want to affect the dvd buying holiday season. Thus, rumors indicated they would join after Christmas.

2nd. One delay on the Ipod Video 6g was the fact that Jobs was waiting for more people to hop on the itunes movies store. He couldn't unveil it in September, because only disney hopped on. Thus, he delayed consumers with some minor screen and hard drive upgrades. This is still a 5g ipod. In the current market, these Ipods are getting technologically behind. Apple is due for a new ipod. Jobs just bought some time.

3rd. I think the two main presentations by jobs will involve the music and movies with itv and ipod. The other topic will be Leopard.

THERE WILL BE NO IPHONE UNTIL AT LEAST APRIL!!!

Other possibilities include- one of the following
mac mini C2D update
display upgrade
hifi upgrade or pricedrop

Well, looks like my 4am MWSF annual vigil is coming up. I apologise to all in advance for my soon to be incoherent and cranky posts disparaging all those who post endless repeats of information we've already seen.

Just a rule to keep the MWSF thread nice and civil - if you think you've found new and pertinent information we've probably already seen it so check the thread by searching for some keywords from your info before posting.

Thanks.

After my "snowy" MBP experience I guess I will go to the stores to check out whatever new ultrathin MBP that may be unveiled before committing to a purchase 😱

iTV would be exempt from the above though 😉

Are we posting predictions here? Let's see...all the Macs are up to date in my opinion, except for the Mini, which could see a Core Two Duo update.

iTV is a given, as Jobs has already foretold its coming.

I believe Apple when they say that Leopard is due in Spring. So at MW, I expect we will hear updates on Leopard's development and how much developers love it, and there will likely be some jabs at Microsoft, and a showing of the David Pogue video which shows how Vista copied OS X elements.

Jobs will talk about how everyone loves the Get a Mac ads and will show a new one.

He'll talk about the success of the iPod line, point out that Gates took his advice in making a closed ecosystem with Zune, and possibly re-emphasize the increased sexiness of sharing an earbud versus beaming a song. He'll mention that the Shuffle has exceeded their wildest expectations, Nike Plus iPod is a critical and commercial success, and that Disney is thrilled with posting movies on iTunes.

Apple will introduce iLife and iWork 07, and iWork will include a spreadsheet App.

That's about all I'm expecting right now......

Dude, that would be terrible 😡. No new Macs or Phones!!
 
i am SO sick on the 9th

Dear Boss,

I'm fully sick, fully, full on, full full of disease and I need the day off, just today, I got your back tomorrow. I won't be able to bring a doctor's note, however, because your cheap ass won't spring for insurance, not that I care, I never get sick, except for today, the 9th of January. Now, if that slut bag Gwendolyn says, "he's only staying home because of that Apple thing", she has no idea what she's freakin talking about and you should know she expensed her last three fake tans. (Silverlake Sun is not a bar she took clients to, it's where she gets that spray bake crap and THAT'S why she smells like pennies, sorry I didn't tell you before, I kinda hate you.) Ok, thanks for understanding, and one last thing, Ed in I.T. said switching to Macs WAS a good idea, although he doesn't want to talk about it, and that you should ok the P.O. for the 72 Mac Pro's I've got sitting on my desk. See you tomorrow, beeyotch! (<-- means buddy, my niece says it!)😀

Your employee,
Mattalicious
 
anyone else notice that Jan. 9th is exactly 16 days after christmas eve and the return policy is for 15 days... I got my brother a 30gig ipod for xmas 🙄

but you'd have to have bought it before christmas as most gifts are, no? so wouldn't it really be even more time?

Sound like some really nice improvements.

So who's taking a personal day on the 9th? 😉

I am so freaking tempted. But with as much time off as I have now, and another holiday built into January, I don't know if live coverage would be enough to allow me to transcend my own guilt. 🙄

Thanks as always to Arn and the whole MR team -- impossible, these things you do for all of us.
 
I am thinking how lucky I am! I live in Portugal, and here the keynote will be at 5 PM!

It will be a great keynote.

Bring on the iTV!!! I already canceled my Comcast cable tv service in favor of switching to the ALA CARTE TV method via torrent and free tv episodes on the major network websites. The hardest part about doing all of this was convincing my wife to jump ship and try something new. She was hesitant at first but once she saw the $80/mo. price drop she's become an advocate for TV ALA CARTE. And iTV will only make this whole transition that much more worth it. Bring it on APPLE!!!!
 
I never noticed the forum spy before and I gotta say= pretty darn cool! Now I have yet another thing to distract me while I am at work. 🙂

I just hope it is a MACWorld this year and not another IPODWorld!

For real.

I'm not expecting any new Macs, but it's about time we had a serious dose of new software - iWork and iLife 07 for sure, by all rights some new, original apps, and if not an earlier release of a much more radical Leopard, certainly lots of info on it.

iPhone? Maybe. iTV? Of course, but I hope it doesn't dominate.
