Macworld: White Covered Banners, Keynote Rehearsal Spy Shot

I'm going to add that I think the new Mac Mini will have an internal battery. Really small. Just about enough to go in to hibernate.
- It would allow Apple to use a MagSafe power adaptor, meaning the LED display can power the mini
- It would serve as a built-in UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply). Useful if somebody trips the cord, or you have a power cut. The machine will go to sleep on battery power, so you don't lose anything.
It would be a great little addition to the machine, and if it goes in to hibernate as soon as the power cord is disconnected, you don't need to power the monitor while you save documents.

Heh heh, I think we would have been arrested for trespassing property with all those construction fences there. Go ahead, there are security guards waiting for you
so how do you explain that you are referencing IDG banners about Macworld and NOT Apple banners.
yes and he's very upset that folks are calling the iPhone 'the jesus phone'. infringes on the trademark to the phone he did create. and he'll debut it at MacWorld (now called JesusWorld) 2010
Is he on stage ?? I thought that like get on stage on the day the keynote is.. so basically they have already did the keynote but havent put it on the apple site until January 6th ...?
There will be NO FIREWIRE - NO FIREWIRE if it has NVIDIA - AGAIN NO FIREWIRE.
Reason? Apple went out of their way to release new GMA on the macbooks PRE NVIDIA, when they found out that even though OPEN GL stunk for games, you could run apertature, motion, and went out of their way to release a crappy GMA and crippled OPEN GL scores from 171% down to 70% which was the last benchmark before the newer macbook aluminium.
Basically, if the machine can run a PRO app, APPLE WILL CRIPPLE IT and make sure you have a SNAFU meaning FIREWIRE, unless they come to their smarts, especially that only 1% are pro users anyway, so its not a big deal, but I don't see it happening.
Mac MINI, Nvidia, NO FIREWIRE unless new REV MACBOOK Has it - right thing to do but apple always does the opposite.
Iphone Nano
17" MBP, matte, glossy
Snow Demo
Perhaps netbook or tablet preview, this device has no firewire unless it docks.
New iMac 4 core? Only if Macpro (also new) come out in 16 cores with 8 core atoms on MBP 17 first, then 15 in April.
Hope Jobs is okay, the silence leads me to believe he IS NOT well and therefore is not showing up.
I would love to see this happen (sadly it never will).
Phil finishes the keynote, walks off stage, and suddenly all the lights in the auditorium go out. The crowd is puzzled as to what is going on, then a voice says "But there is One More Thing...". One spotlight slowly fades onto Steve standing in the middle of the stage. The crowd then goes ******* and Steve announces some awesome new product.
I can dream, right?

Nope. They would just have been rehearsing the keynote.
It won't be cheaper, but the 30" should get an update.
I actually just found it.
Any GOOD MacTablet will run full OS X.
Good god I hope thats not Al Gore. I can't take even 3 seconds of him before my brain starts to melt a little on one side. Was a nauseating loser.
Any actual MacTablet has no chance of running full OS X. No chance, whatsoever. Its iPhone OS all the way. If you have any doubt, your not paying attention to

Any GOOD MacTablet would be 13.3", and so it would be silly not to run full OS X when the screen is that usable.
Now, I'm serious about this: Let's keep going back and forth!
Good MacTablet/Actual MacTablet is fun!
Maybe all the white banners are blank to represent snow... and the launching of snow leopard Who knows?
Who knows?I don't get this crap about a larger iPhone or Touch. Just hack your ipod and plug into a screen so the apps will display. Cheaper then paying $700+ for a larger iPod.
I want a real tablet that I can run CS4 on and sketch things out. Thin and 12" for me.
-iMac and Mac Mini updates are likely ready for Tuesday. I'm guessing if any cosmetic changes to mini, it will have a black top and instead of white. But if they do that, TV will stand in stark contrast. Who knows, who cares, as a long as nvidia gpu imacs are available soon.
-MobileMe will see its first performance updates at MacWorld. Its first "new" features, whatever they may be. Could be a new suite of productivity webapps, like iWork equivalents, or even further with a webapp of iTunes, iPhoto, and iMovie.
-iPhone Nano will be introduced (if it exists at all). It will be the same thing just smaller.
-iPhone Pro or similar touch device with a 5 x 7.5" screen. Runs iPhone OS with new software, 2.3 or such.
-New iPhone OS coupled with the release (or simply introduction) of the two new touch products. Yes in my opinion now, 2 days out, there will be 2 new touch products introduced. Let's see if I'm right.
Thats nice but are you going to be massively disappointed when that doesn't come from Apple on tuesday or any time in the next year at least?
While it may not seem like a fantasy to have a real osx tablet, the market for such a thing IS a fantasy. There aren't very many marketing executives on this board, so the constant discussion doesn't help, but you and everyone else needs to realize that this is NOT coming. Not at MacWorld, Not at WWDC, Not in 2009.
As "cool" as some might find the idea, in reality, they'd sell about 14 of them. Then have to stop producing some other fine product to make up for their mistake.
No it isn't its just sad. And the worst part is there is no way to stop it. Even when the actual tablet is released and its just a big clunky iphone that lets you play all of those cool games scaled up by 1.5, it won't stop. People will ask, if this is NOW, then in 6 mons or a year.......
The Actual MacTablet will serve as a testing ground for future products. They know clearly that an iPhone-based tablet, priced right, will sell hundreds of thousands. However a full OSX, priced higher, will tank miserably, and is not worth the cost to produce.
But they have to TRY, at least with the no-brainer "big iphone" idea. They don't know for sure that a GoodTablet would fail, not until the ActualTablet has its chance to try and "change the market" like the first iPod and iPhone did.
why is there no LOL smiley for this forum?
LOL LOL LOL LOL
How ridiculous.
"But today, we really want to focus on the most glaring hole in our product line........Behold, the MACBOOK..........WITH FIIIIIIIIIREEEEEEWIRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE...HAHAHAHAHAHAH!

So the thousands of peoplefrom regular Joes to graphic designerswho would like a screen behind their drawing tablets are bumbling idiots who don't know what they want.
That's what you're saying.
Also a large portion of designers are Apple users. You may not see tablets flying off the shelves because they are PC tablets.
I resent the "bumbling" comment. The rest I can live with.
A screen-backed graphics tablet is an intriguing idea, but I'd want it more as a multi-touch peripheral for showing tool palettes, etc.
In general, I think the idea of a tablet that either does App store-based functionality, or something more powerful, will create its niche as much as answer a current demand.

Meh, I would if I didn't live on the east coast
