Pixar page on iTunes has been cleared!

Are "Finding Nemo," "Monsters, Inc.," etc. going to be there soon?

 

[durvivor]

Today should of been a day off for Mac heads. I can't even get any work done today! I got my credit card ready for the new Ibook.
See Ya,

You mean, the new Mac Book.... Your other option is a Mac Book Pro... The times... they are a changing.

 

[sfwalter]

Even if the intel notebooks are released, it will be hard to find one until late Spring. The apple stores will get them first, then the mail order houses.

*slurps* There is nothing more satasying then an iced Chai and a keynote other then possibly an iced Chai, keynote, and a MacBook Pro.

 

[Warbrain]

Anyone else getting butterflies in their stomach? I know I am.

I haven't been this out of the loop in so long, but it'll be neat to see what they release that I don't know about yet.

Also got my TV trained to CNBC since they'll have some report on it before any other cable station will because of the 'Scalito' hearings.

iTunes front page promos

I'm starting to see some new promos rotating on the front of iTunes, but the new releases list still has not rolled.

* Cypress Hill Celebrity Playlist.
* The Curtom Catalog.
* Verve Vault.
* Tina Dico (exclusive album).

None of these are major yet.

Pixar page is still content empty.

Another year, another Macworld vicariously...

I thank my son for being born: because of my paternity leave, this is my first keynote at home.

Anyway, I really don't want to spoil anything, I want Steve to tell me first, so does anyone have an exact quicktime page I can go to like last year where I can just wait for the stream without seeing the main page?

Thirteen minutes left, 2.47AM Aussie time (at least for that state smart enough to refuse daylight savings ) - is it worth it? I'm tired, got stuff to do tomorrow, nothing but crappy ProActiv infomercials on, info will still be there and confirmed at 9...

Kevin Rose had a really reliable source last year, maybe he will pull it off again: http://krose.typepad.com/kevinrose/2006/01/macworld_2006.html

Do you think just changing http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/wwdc05/ to http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/wwdc06/ would work?

 

[SiliconAddict]

Don't know but I'm not THAT lazy!

 

[liketom]

i am all ready here

7 min to go

Retarded. They should call it PowerBook M1 I guess they named it PowerBook because it was PowerPC based? So stupid.

Actually, PowerBook pre-dates the PowerPC by almost 5 years. The PowerBook 100 came out in '91 with a 16Mhz 68000 chip - the first PowerPC PowerBook was tin '96
See: http://everymac.com/systems/apple/powerbook/stats/mac_powerbook100.html

I think it is time for a name change though - both for the portables and desktops.

Last year they put it up here.


EDIT: When I first checked the link, it had a placeholder for the October event. Now it has a 404 Page Not Found error. I'd say that's a good sign.

Confirmed, its new to me too, but on Belgian Store, so it's maybe not that new, because we are normally a bit behind (still no videos )
