Spoiler-Free iPhone 2012 Event

i wonder what it was like to wait + watch them landing on the moon in 69??
Click to expand...

The moon only has a two second or so light delay so it isn't quite the same as with Mars where you have to wait 15 minutes after it lands to find out if it succeeded or crashed. The whole schrodinger's cat thing probably applies.

Anyway, here's hoping the video is online soon so I don't have to stay up far beyond midnight. Which I usually do for these things. Curse you, Apple!
 
PRE-ORDER Concerns

jj47 said:
Great for all those wanting to watch it later but definately not for me.

I'm going to follow the keynote blog then get my order in straight after so I get in the first batch of deliveries.

I would prefer to be spoiler-free and watch the full keynote video

BUT

This is a good point bec. I have been waiting 3 years now since the 3Gs for an upgrade and would like to pre-order ASAP to get in the first batch..

Never can tell if there will be shortages as in the past..

BUT

iPad3 was a huge waste of time messing with the constantly failing applestore when I could have just waited a few hours then easily gotten a pre-order in..

Tim Cook seems to have the covered this whole short supply for the savy geek problem we saw with other product launches..

So i might check the very end of a liveblog to find out when the pre-order starts or

do you fellow spoiler-free-be'ers think it's ok for some brave sole to post just the pre-order info for those of us that are going to upgrade to the iPhone5 no-matter-what...

considering we all know its the iphone 5 yeah i don't see this as a problem from my point of view, just worried the pre-order page would spoil something about the phone! although i'm getting it no matter what! ahhhhhhh, im pulling out hair!

not ok. Pre orders for what? I don't wanna even know the name of whatever's coming out. Open a new thread "Spoiler-Free iPhone 2012 Event WITH PRE ORDER" and invite that brave soul over there. Might be too late though.

No. If you want, create another thread for that. But I'll be passing the time reading this thread and I don't want to know any info regarding the announcements until the keynote is up.

Yes - I will be once again going on media blackout to enjoy the show.

Although it will be rather like christmas eve AFTER you found out... well, you know.

And yes, i have a maxim "Never take seriously anything said before breakfast or after the first cocktail."

I hear ya on the cocktail part ... my friend is picking up whiskey as we speak.

Last time it was exactly 9pm GMT with the event starting 6pm GMT. Its been pretty quick the last two events (cleary using FCPX, lol) but it obviously depends on how long the presentation is. The only time I time I ever planned my time around it being early it was 6am the next day (unusually late) so lets cross our fingers and hope for another quick turn around 🙂

I remember that one man, it was rough.

Hah. How about other Fincher films, like The Game is about to be released in a special Criterion BD: http://www.criterion.com/films/28058-the-game

Hello Everyone!

Here we are again, another spoiler-free event! I updated the keynote checker for today. I hope everyone has a great time.

Also, the people at Robocat made a new keynote checker script, and it looks better than mine. Maybe I should sue them 😛 Here it is anyways: http://spoilerfreekeynote.com

Haha def sue, thanks again man!

Anybody have some interesting YouTube videos on the longer side that could help me past the time? 😀

I've been trying to find as many lesser-ish known Sci-Fi films as I can recently, if you guys have HBO GO "Another Earth" wasn't too bad and reasonably unique and there's a ton of things on Netflix to watch. After I finish catching up on Homeland, what are some of your guys' favorite and not quite as popular Sci-Fi films? I just watched the original Solaris on BD and loved it, re-watched Dune and Moon on BD as well ...

Omg 10:01, it should be happening now!!! Feels like the 14 minute delay for curiosity landing on mars. Except this one is 3-4 hours 🙁

Pffff ahah

12 servings though 😛 😱 theres only me living here 🙁

Not long enough to totally kill the time but simple (if you don't want to venture out in the world and buy a lot of ingredients) and turned out really well actually: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/roaste...y wine&e8=Quick Search&event10=1&e7=Home Page
 
I just ate an orange. I've just recently figured out how to peel them quickly with a knife. It's better than a glass of orange juice, eating a sweet and juicy orange.

Is that spoiler-free enough conversation :B
 
can someone explain to me the "Anonymous" hackers deal - is it the same group that took down mat honan? and how do they not get caught being on twitter?

Tons. A show with ZeFrank is definitely the best, but be careful, you might lose your interest in the keynote. 🙂
