Your guess is as good as anyone's! 😀 No specific rumors to this affect have surfaced that I'm aware of, but again, anything can happen. Don't worry, all will be revealed in a week. 😉 😎

I'll be watching the keynote before doing any reading on Monday. 🙂 I did this for MacWorld and last year's WWDC. It makes the experience that much better.

Edit: By the way, here is the link to the Apple Events page:

http://www.apple.com/quicktime/guide/appleevents/

The stream should show up on the left where the WWDC graphic is now.

Of note the Apple Events page had spoilers on it last time... so it might not be a safe page to visit.

Also, for those sticking around for our coverage... we're hoping it'll be better than ever.

Will the photo's be bigger? (this is one reason why I also have Engadget open on another window)

There's no other place I'll be next Monday, so I'm looking forward to it. The last keynote coverage was great and I'm sure this one will be even better. Again, thanks in advance arn and crew. 😎
 
Looking forward to the secret features

Okay, game over, Steve Jobs and the iPhone are a lock for the cover of Time magazine in December for Man of the Year.

The question is, just what "secret features" will we find out about on Monday from the WWDC conference?

I get the feeling a lot of people will be talking about the "Vista Killer" OS next week.

Bring on the iPod killers, bring on the iPhone killers, bring on the Leopard killers, ooops the next version of Windows won't be out for another 5 or 6 years...

well do you think there going to announce a new ipod , or am i safe in getting it with my mbp tonight?

The iPod's free, so you're safe anyway. 😀

Oooh good I haven't seen a keynote in a while. They're always fun to watch. Imagine that beefy Mac Minis were suddenly rolled out. Engadget and Gizmodo would implode.

I'm pretty glad that Apple has proceeded to hush those that claim that they're short changing their macs. Hopefully this keynote will stick it to 'em again. 😛
 
i know but im getting the 80 gig so its gonna cost me a little, and if the new ones come out then those are also discounted. I dunno i could wait till monday, but i already had been planning to go tonight for about 3 days.

Well, if it does make you pause for a bit, then you could always wait for monday. The deal will still be around by then. I'd say wait if it bugs you, it may pay off yet 🙂
 
The Keynote's on Monday now?

What happened to Mad Apple Tuesdays?!

Looking forward to it, anyhow 🙂

The WWDC Keynote is and always has been on Monday. The Macworld Keynote is on Tuesday.

Posting from IE on a Windows Mobile device??? That's just wrong, arn. 😉

Will you post the link to the stream when it comes out so we can copy it into Quicktime manually like you did for the last MacWorld keynote?
Maybe send the link to those who subscribed via e-mail.

By the way they put the MacWorld keynote on iTunes as a podcast. Hopefully they do it again. It was a little higher resolution I think.

EDIT: Link to MWSF 2006 Podcast

My friend those years have come and gone... Back in 2000, we used to get live streams of both Macworld keynotes, and I even used to go to Apple's corporate offices here in Montreal, where it was broadcast via satellite. They even had free food for all of us...

Sounds cool. They used to do live Satellite feeds to the Apple stores as well. Have those stopped too? I don't see why they wouldn't want to continue that. I bet they get more than a few impulse buys if they trotted out the new merchandise immediately after showing the keynote.

No, it has been addressed quite recently. There is no way that Apple will cannibalize their hardware sales to make $10 on the sale of OS X just so they can spend $15 paying their support staff to handle all the extra work.
Click to expand...

Dell is paying $50 for Windows and does the support, not MS. Its not that bad.

tuartboy said:
As to your second paragraph, they have had an intel version for 1.5 years now and you still don't see many hackintoshes. The generic driver support is so poor that many people can't get various hardware devices to run (LAN, sound, etc...) on their existing equipment and just give up or don't do it. DRM never works, but make your product hard to use on other hardware and most will never try.
Click to expand...

Agreed, they don't need DRM just crappy drivers. Dell already has a laptop that can use the Mac Mini disks because its so similar to it, Apple hardware isn't that special anymore. A beautiful box but with extraordinary software, Steve's words.

It can go both ways, we'll have to wait.

nah, it's a Palm OS based Treo. I guess the software identifies it wrong.

Or the browser's pretending to be IE for compatibility. I should have thought of that. 🙂

Yeah, I miss those. Unfortunately they are removing the theaters from more and more stores, so it's unlikely they'll ever resume that practice. Shame. I always enjoyed going to the store for the keynote broadcast.
