I am sick of waiting and sick of unsubstantiated rumors. Also sick of waiting instead of buying a plain "old" Macbook that I so much need.
Got a tip for us?

Year of HD....
Nice thought about the aspect ratio and HDTV. I'd say that "welcome to 2007" means "welcome to the year of HD".
(Or was that 2006)

Possibly to do with a whole year having to pass before its counted as 1. e.g if I'm born in 2000, I dont celebrate my 1 year anniversary until 2001....just a crazy thought.
yes.. so, 1976 - 1996 = 20 years. 1976 - 2006 = 30 years
what you said is true, but doesnt explain my point at all.
I guess I should of said a service, not an oil change. But in my last service on the Golf, it cost me £80 and that was oil/filter change and what not. If I went down to the VW garage, that would of cost £190+
The charge is mainly labour.. that was my point
I get myself worked up into a little frenzy before events like this, so this year I am trying to stay calm.
That includes:
- Selling my Dual G5 on ebay - check
- Checking macrumors every 2 minutes - check
- RSS feeds to my phone in case I can't - check
- Not revising for exams - check
- Probably going to feel let down - check
I know it's unlikely that they will update the 24" iMac, but here's hoping.
I would also dig a large apple display, but would have to wait to purchase.
My take on the '2007' banners is that they will show more of Leopard, and demo how it's years ahead of Vista.

My thoughts run along the same lines. Apple may very well keep the low end machine and up date it to Core 2, but at the high end I see a different machine. The fact that chips are becoming available for Apple to implement such a machine are a good sign. I just don't think those chips are available next week though.
The nice thing about such a machine is that all of the GPUs that are coming, that support the standards Apple would need to address in this sort of machine, will give the Mini a very nice graphics boost. The box might not have cabelCard but it most certainly would have more storage, HDTV support (with its encryption), possibly a Blue Ray disk and a bunch of other features for multimedia.

do you not think the previous news post should be edited? You have just shown that the picture was not a fake yet the previous news article still claims it is.
Me too! It feels different this time...

..and I can only recommend the free Keynote Bingo Macworld San Francisco 2007 Edition!!
At last. We've been waiting for 30th anniversary celebrations since April 1st last year!
So much speculation:
That HD thing is quite clever but probably a bluff ... or is it - is jobs tricking us into thinking that HD is but isn't comming when it actually is?
iPhone maybe but i doubt it probably will come out in April, same with full screen iPod. 2GB Shuffle - YES.
16GB Nano - MAYBE
iTV dates and full specs announced - YES
A Huge let down - No
Small Letdown - Yes
By the way of the banner, who put it up, not nesaserily workmen? if it is top secret than surely it will be people who already know what it is and so are trustworthy?
Also £200 is about $400 not $600 unless the pound just climbed up by 50% to the dollar....

What the banner really means
Over the past year or two, Sun Microsystems announced two major things:
1. Free software/Open Source Java
2. An 8 core CPU
The "Eclipse" thing means that Sun is overshadowing Apple.
So expect:
1. Free software/Open Source AppleScript.
2. A 7 core CPU in a Mac.
Woohoo, I think.

Kinda hard to say that when you don't have a clue as to what is going to be announced.
And if you do please enlighten us all. Please.
Stop being hard on him. DOn't you know that he has a super secret source that claims that Steve is going to stand on stage making balloon animals and sing Ethel Merman songs?
He's just a troll intent on raining on everyone's parade.
I love this excitement and I realize that event will probably not live up to the event. But it may. And because of that 'but' I will be glued to my computer tomorrow.

Me, a troll ? Excuse me ?
I have explained what I mean but you probably didn't read that post.
OMG!!! Macworld magazine just broke a story about the new Mac that's coming out which totally explains why the banners are black, because the new Mac is black and is backlit because of it's awesome TV and media capabilities! Check it out!!!
Black backlit Apple banners totally explained by the new Mac about to be released!!!

Are you mad? That came out in 1997.
Gee, ya think? Well then that would just make my post seem like a joke, now wouldn't it.
I'm glad to hear it, but there are some pretty ridiculous things being offered up here, so it was by no means a certainty...Gee, ya think? Well then that would just make my post seem like a joke, now wouldn't it.
