It's interesting.. more than previously, we're hoping for something surprising. An announcement of something great that no-one thought of, and no-one rumored.
And yet we already have a handful of likely rumored stuff that will easily fill a keynote.
There's always loads of filler.., stats on ios uptake.. iPod sales.., app downloads.., etc.

I'd love Tim's recent commitment to secrecy to fruit... with something announced this year that none of us thought of.
 
Anything that is ready to ship (or will be within days) will be made available for purchase immediately after the keynote is done. They usually take the store down during the keynote. I'm sure all the new Macs will be made available for you to buy today. I think it's likely the new iPods will also be launched on the store today including the 1TB iPod Classic. They may do pre-orders for the new iPhone, iPad 4 and iPad Mini, but it's unlikely at this stage.

Bzzzt please don't even discuss rumors here. Some of us are purists and remember the days where we stay completely off the topic of tech anything. Just talk about the weather, books, movies, etc.
 
The iPad event in March was very quick, like less than an hour. I don't remember last year's WWDC, but WWDC 2010 took nearly 12 hours. Most keynotes seem to only take a couple hours though.

God I remember that one. Putting Tim Cook ATD interview on in the background while modelling now, hopefully losing track of time until Voidness's script gets my attention or girl asleep in my bed wakes up ...
 
I did NONE of the above and my post was still deleted - I simply posted my own predictions without any knowledge whatsoever...what the heck?

Oh come on. Look, we've been doing this for years. Don't come in here and try to change the rules. No spoilers, rumors or speculation. NONE! I don't want to see any mention of anything apple. Nothing. Smokey, t isn't 'Nam. There are rules.

Please redelete that post.

What good books have you read?
 
Your post is back, as it was mis-identified as a spoiler. I personally see no problems with people speculating, but it has to be plainly stated that it is speculation.

The entire point of the rules of the thread is to deter speculation of ANY kind. For many, who haven't been aware of every single rumour that's come out. seeing a list of personal speculation could point toward what is actually being released.

I appreciate opinions may differ on this - but what's the solution. Have this thread 'Spoiler Free' and another thread 'No, seriously, really Spoiler Free with no speculation'. Can't we all just agree to follow the rules posted earlier?

unfortunately it happens. Every. Single. Year. And as every year, we will now continue to argue/discuss the merits of what is actually spoiler/speculation and whether it fell in line with the rules, ect. I'd rather just agree to disagree and move on. Have the original post deleted so it doesn't 'suggest' what might be announced for others and we all kill time till the the video is up. simples. :)
 
OML! I actually thought I was weird because I didn't want to spoil an Apple conference for myself as if it were some kind of TV show. And then I found this thread and I was so relieved. Phew... It's nice to know that others are like me to :)

Welcome to our dark corner of the internet :)
 
To those who are still happily ignorant, I recoomend the "A Song of Ice and Fire" a. k. a. "Game of Thrones" books. They are awesome. And if you have read them, try "The Sword of Truth" also good.
By now, The Witcher Books should be translated into the most languages, also.
For a laugh, get "EARTH: THE BOOK" by the Daily show guys. Genius!
 
Well, should be over about now I reckon.

Off to watch Americas Best Sandwich again by Adam Richman to kill a bit more time.

If you like Man Vs Food, go grab it, its amazing. Just guts me that we dont get joints like that in the UK.

:(
 
Auto-Loading the video into iTunes

If you are subscribed to the "Apple Keynotes" podcast, then it will just "show up" when it's ready in HD, too. If you go into iTunes and use menu "Advanced -> Subscribe to Podcast", paste in this URL...

Code:
http://itstreaming.apple.com/podcasts/apple_keynotes/apple_keynotes.xml

...it will load up their podcast "channel"... At first it will start automatically downloading the most recent one (Special Event March 2012), but you can always pause that in "Downloads".

Makes for easy access to older keynotes if you want to archive them, too.

Note: this usually happens later in the day after the first streaming video shows up (as will be posted here).

Sword of truth books are awesome. Give yourself plenty of time to read the series before you start!
Anyone seen the TV show on the books? I think it ran for a couple seasons before it was cancelled

Ignorant speculation has never been forbidden as clarified above by the admins...but if they wish to further restrict, IN ADVANCE, the kinds of discussions we can have here, I will have no qualms with it.

It's just a matter of clarity of rules, nothing else.
