WWDC 2008 Keynote Coverage Live

[LtCarter47]

Back in the old days, we had this thing called the Mac. And it didn't fit in your pocket or have an accelerometer or touchscreen and we had to walk through 10 miles in the snow for our software updates, and we liked it that way.

</old man>

I think I'm going to have a shirt made with this on it.

 

[Hawk.]

Too overzealous to schedule an iPhone appointment at a store for 10AM tomorrow?

 

[Penguinwrangler]

A phone call to my local store confirms they're open and plan to be all day.

Which would suggest that availability is pretty highly unlikely. Damn.

 

[inkswamp]

let me be the first:

WHat?!??! WTF?!?! NO MIDRANGE TOWER?!!

Well, if Apple cared about the Mac as much as they care about the iPhone, we would see that today.

No, scratch that. We'd have seen that in 2007.

 

[queshy]

Crap, forgot I was at work. Ooops.

Crap, I forgot to GO to work. Oops.

 

[DaBrain]

Na. He's getting his 2 day old beard up to snuff.

Ya left out that he's ironing his turtle neck collar and polishing his sneakers! --))

 

[FunkyJunk]

No, actually he added that during the keynote, most of the staff would be in the back "with the boxes." He didn't say what they had or would have, but gave me a sly smile.

Apple has removed the link to purchase a Newton.

 

[Mr Maui]

Well, if Apple cared about the Mac as much as they care about the iPhone, we would see that today.

No, scratch that. We'd have seen that in 2007.

Apple needs to sell 10 million iPhones by the end of 2008 ... not 10 million Macs. At least that is Steve's logic.

Not necessarily. I think they're not making a midrange tower because it doesn't fit their philosophy of it being "an all in one world". They don't want to become too-PC-ish - they want something to differentiate themselves from the bunch...and the iMac is a great way to do so.
But yeah, today will probably be 90% iPhone.

 

[Chris Stroud]

.Mac is going wacky again.

edit

gMail and .Mac smtp servers are both going down.

My gMail is fine

 

[gazfocus]

Crap, I forgot to GO to work. Oops.

...Crap, I forogt I had a job...oh wait...nah forgot again

 

[Tallest Skil]

No.

Because you agree that that's how it will be, or?

 

[Royale w/cheese]

Crap, I forgot to GO to work. Oops.

I don't have a job. Hope he introduces the iTrailer today.

Maybe another eMac?

Oh, think if in australia TODAY! (because its very early morning here- 1:00am) if when phone shops (vodafone and optus) open up and say, hello, we stock iphones rite now!
i think i would cry... with excitement... and maybe... pass out... just a lil...

 

[Peace]

My gMail is fine

Mine is too. I just forgot the password.. DO'H

 

[queshy]

Apple Store U.S. is down.

Stop the presses!!!

I don't have a job. Hope he introduces the iTrailer today.

Maybe another eMac?

Maybe a tablet if we're lucky!

Auto-refresh would be neat. the live updates auto refresh, though, so don't worry.

Frankenstein

The planets just went in to alignment.

Bill Gates just started sobbing.

Not long to go...

Have you ever noticed the facial similarities between Ballmer and Frankenstein monster in the movie comedy?

Even more so, when he sobs.

 

[Don't panic]

Mmmm.... does the PopeMobile have an iPod adapter?

'course.
why do you think it's white?

 

[G4DP]

Unfortunately this is going to be all about the iPhone SDK, it is a developers event after all.

I'll be very suprised if there is anything else.

THere not going to announce any new MacBooks or Mini's at this event.

 

[carve]

I bet you Bill Gates is sitting on his computer watching macrumorslive.com and getting ready to copy the new iphone so he can make the "zPhone" which is exactly like the "iPhone"

 

[alvintwj]

I want to see the iPhone latest ads! ;c

 

[needthephone]

I doubt we'll see iphones in Australia until the 19th June, when the Sydney store opens.

Haha!
Probably they can change Zune's name to ZunePod?
And Windows Vista to Windows Garfield.

Beeep!
