WWDC 2008 Keynote Coverage Live

The covered banner reads:

OSX - Not Just a Mac Thing

I really hope this doesn't mean also a PC thing. I would feel we are less like part of a cult.

 

[Tallest Skil]

Wow those would be great!!

The "MacBook Touch" is the MacBook Air and iPod touch. There won't be a standalone product.

 

[tgildred]

I was thinking something else. 😛

what do you mean?.... ohhhhh.... you have filthy mind!😉

 

[ghall]

Weird.. Is that a clue? Because it's 8:15 here.
😀

Oh yeah, well it's 11:16AM here! 😛

MacRumors must have some sort of temporal transmitter.🙄

 

[macjaeh]

quick thought

What caused the Macbook Pro and Macbook update/revamp rumor to wane? I was getting mildly excited.

 

[EagerDragon]

iChat Theater

Maybe we will see iChat Theater capabilities as part of the "Enterprise features". People being able to view a presentation with Audio and Video while on the road.

Covered banner, sounds great!

 

[guzhogi]

Anyone else concerned that this is going to be 90% iPhone, 10% Mac?

You mean Apple does something does something other than the iPhone? << Checks himself into a sanitarium >>

What caused the Macbook Pro and Macbook update/revamp rumor to wane? I was getting mildly excited.

The fact that it was false. Sorry.

I imagine him just straining for a moment and growing that out in a couple seconds, Chuck Norris Style.

I had to chuckle when I read this.......

 

[ghall]

Imagine when he wakes up in a hospital bed only to find he's been fitted with a pacemaker that runs on Windows Embedded.

If that thing crashed, it would bring a whole new meaning to the Blue Screen Of Death. 😱

 

[bacaramac]

What caused the Macbook Pro and Macbook update/revamp rumor to wane? I was getting mildly excited.

I think the Pros were denounced by the fact that Apple was still linking on their homepage to "New MacBook Pros"

 

[Chris Stroud]

I just check iTunes.com/version

There is still no 2.0 Firmware... in the past they have it set so that all they gotta do is flip the switch for iTunes to recognize it.

 

[sushi]

I wore a diaper today, just incase.

Always good to be prepared.

Looks like I picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue...

Classic movie line! 🙂

will macrumors.com be a little bit more quiet when wwdc is over?

Nope. After the WWDC, all the complainers will come out in droves.

It's after midnight. Not sure if I am going to stay up and watch this live. Big day at the office tomorrow.

Banner reads:

iConvention - Pick the Nominee, from your iPhone

 

[Mr Maui]

Steve reaches into watch pocket ... "Oh wait, not there."

Then reaches into front and rear jeans pockets ... "Oh wait, not there either."

Then reaches under his stage desk ... pulls out a black backpack with a large apple logo on it ... lifts flaps, peers inside, looks up ... then frowns ... "Darn, nothing there either."

Then ... behind Steve ... lowered on cables from above the stage another table, something covered in black cloth with an Apple logo.

Introducing ...

The 60" Apple Cinema Display ...

End of session. 😱

 

[Anuba]

I really hope this doesn't mean also a PC thing. I would feel we are less like part of a cult.

So what you're really saying is that you don't want any PC riff-raff stampeding your church, yelling "OMG LOLZ I'm so L334 now, I'm on OS EX! FTW"...?

 

[EagerDragon]

I peed my pants.

Throw him in the shower.

 

[drb6]

as far as I can remember, stores used to go down around 12pm eastern for the keynote at 1pm. it might be early because of the size of the changes they'll be making, its not just updating the store with a new product but we're expecting the iTunes Apps store/information to be up to right?

Thats a lot more content than for a couple of products.....😀😀😀

iConvention - Pick the Nominee, from your iPhone

With Firmware 2.0...available NOW!!

 

[Mr Maui]

Perhaps we are just now a cult with a very large influx of new members. I just wish I got all the membership fees. 😀

 

[Am3822]

Well, in case it has been missed -- the Norwegian store is offline as well.

 

[Klaxons2012]

The retail stores (in the US) aren't closing. I think that's some bad info...

When the retail stores will be closed, Apple lets us know that on apple.com/retail. Stores will be open and some having classes during the keynote.

I was afraid of that. With no shipments going to retail stores, there was no way this was going to be an immediate launch. I'm trying to hold off buying a new phone until this comes out so I hope its sooner rather than later.
