One thing is actually very interesting:
Lining park has a concert the 26th in nashville

if the event is then.

cheers

Sigh... I was already doubting my humor - and those of the posters here (though, I had a lot of laughs reading these threads last couple of days).
 
sob, sob,sob, I can't stand the waiting anymore! I'll be on anti-depressant tablets if the MBP is not released by the end of Feb.... sob sob..... waited so loooooonnnnnngggggg for that! COM'ON Steve!
 
I donno what is with all the LP bashing. If you havent already check out Linkin Park's latest album Minutes to Midnight, it is a definate departure from the bands old Rap/Rock style.

Yes, it's another MBP update thread, but hear me out.

- Stock IS running low on the current models. Update must be soon, or they risk loosing sales because no one has any to sell!

- Peoples MBP orders being delayed.[/URL]
- The "secret Apple event" Linkin Park will be playing at in NYC.
- Steve Jobs loves suprising people.

So basically you're starting the rumour mill off 4 things, all of which point more to Tuesday. Jobs loves suprising people..... on Tuesdays :p
We'll know soon anyhow!

Sorry guys, but what makes anyone think that the Linkin Park/:apple: gig will have anything to do with the impending MBP update? Sounds to me like some kind of itunes/ipod/isomething related event.

No reason for Apple to break with Tues tradition for our MBP update. Especially not for a minor speed bump and cosmetic upgrade

I agree. After all ... Apple just lowered prices on their iPod shuffles yesterday. And that rarely just "happens" with Apple.
 
Screw the invites. Apple can just put LP in the Cube or on the Plaza above the store, or let them play in Soho or at W. 14th and roll out the new MBPs and whatever else they have. They could always SMS everybody with an ATT iPhone an hour before the show. It'll get packed fast. This is New York.

Agreed, but I think people are referring to the lack of press invites. It does Apple no good throwing a concert to a bunch of people who could give two ***** about a iPhone SDK.

well it's 'losing' not 'loosing' and not everyone is out of stock. The Singapore store has lots, I believe Australia does to, I saw more replies saying stores in various countries are still fully stocked.

And Linkin Park? If that's anything it's related to music ..
 
Apple Event Friday 2/20?

I think the Apple event will be this Friday. I checked Genius bar reservations at multiple eastern Apple stores and it appears that none of them are taking reservations after 12 PM EST. Perhaps this is to shut down the store for a few hours and update the floor with the new inventory?

I just love these tiny bits of information... this is a kind of detective investigation of which even Sherlock would be impressed by...;)
 
None of the Apple Stores around me are taking reservations after 11:00 either. Can anyone confirm whether this is just a normal cut off point for advance reservations or whether this is unusual??
:confused:

EDIT: There are personal shopping appointments available all day. Looks like its just a cut-off time for advanced genius bar appointments. They will probably change it to include later times as the day goes on.

Edit x2: Its NOTHING. The time changes as the day moves on.
 
I really wish all of these rumors were true so we can finally get our mbp but I dont think they would announce it this way.


But I hope so...:)
 
Patience people. It will happen but at the moment there are no good leaks or info.


If we all keep guessing everyday of the week someone is sure to be right :rolleyes:
 
And as far as the stock issue I do not see the MBP making a big impact on the stock price. the MBP will probably see a speed/components increase not a complete design rehaul (if they were then it is in the research from awhile back so they wouldn't have saved it for a failing stock price).

Only radically new products/design would cause a huge impact on the stock price. I don't see a lot of non mac people like us here waiting eagerly for the new possible pro.
 
I'm going to start the process of selling my macbook now...eitherway a new macbook pro is coming soon
 
I think we also need to take into account that Apple may be changing their formula for product releases. With all the leaks and expected products they may change things up a little. We will just have to wait and see!

Interistingly HardMac reports a shortage of Airport Express Base Stations:

It's true that we are all keep guessing, but as specially since the LP rumor came up yesterday it got more interesting again to guess around.

I just checked the U.S. Store and the Airport Extreme base station is shipping 24h and the express 3-5 business days. I beleave HardMac just watched at the frensh store.
 
I placed an order yesterday for my MBP and the original date said 2-21 (delivery), now it says 2-25....interesting....I called and mum was the word. :)
