People are more than excited about today Steve Jobs’ keynote and the term MacBookAir is blogged about everywhere.
I’ll be following the event via Engadget.com life blogging as I did last year (this year they even have Spanish).
If you want to follow it here’s the schedule:
07:00AM - Hawaii
09:00AM - Pacific
10:00AM - Mountain
11:00AM - Central
12:00PM - Eastern
05:00PM - GMT / London
06:00PM - Paris
08:00PM - Moscow
02:00AM - Tokyo (January 16th)
But as much as I enjoy the keynote with Jobs’ “booms” and “one more things” I enjoy the rumors prior to it. Here’s a compilation of predictions taken from the comments at Engadget.com.
- Steve is going to wear a black turtleneck w/ jeans tucked into jeans sans belt.
- Not only that, I bet Steve’s first words will be, “Good Morning”
- People are going to applaud when no applause is necessary
- Yellow Submarine iPod, Beatles music
- 1 more thing = iSoap. Cleans all mac touch-based products
- one more thing announcement: “I’m retiring”
- Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr on stage to announce the Beatles on iTunes
- iPhone SDK will be Android
- He will announce that those who take his apple-flavored serum will be invited into Promise City, and the rest will remain at the Gates.
They’re all funny but somehow they make you think.
And one more thing: the macbookair.com domain registration and the redirection to http://www.apple.com/?Will+We+see+a+MacBookAir+on+Tuesday is a fake.

Next year’s predictions could involve some betting around the number of macworld-related-tweets per minute. 8668 hits at the moment: http://terraminds.com/twitter/query?query=macworld&submit=search+in+updates.
Aside: what’s wrong with our brain’s wiring that has this urgency for (quite irrelevant) knowledge? Why do we punish ourselves following life blogging, or awfull sport radio broadcasts, or same day election polls, instead of waiting for better quality info a bit later? I could use a vaccine against this dumbness…
See my point? Steve Jobs Macworld 2008 Keynote in 60 Seconds quite does the job.
[…] I was following the life coverage of Steve Jobs Keynote at Macworld yesterday via Engadget waiting for the final “one more thing” thing. Well this time the rumors got it right and out of the envelope came the much hyped MacBookAir; a nice piece of engineering, design and portability. […]
You got a point there.
As a matter of fact one of my New Year’s blog resolutions is to blog about more “durable” issues (durable blog? oxymoron?)
Another was to read more books and less RSS feeds.
Aside: terraminds.com looks interesting to get a feel of what’s going on in twitter. A new RSS to add to my GReader! ; )
