MacDailyNews - Where Mac news comes first

Anticipation...Need heart medication..

Thanks MDN for providing the alternative live sites as well. Everyone's live site has had technical problems in the past, it's good to have alternatives.

I can't get through.

too much pre-coverage traffic.

I feel like a six year old on Xmas eve. (not literally!!)

Is there going to be a live video stream somewhere?

I can't wait....

There hasn't been a video stream for years now, where you been, anaknipedro?

Wish Cupertino was on the east coast so that this coverage is 1 hour early in the Central Time Zone and 3 hours for the Pacific Time Zone.

I'm just wondering where the shots of fake new products in lifts are this year. It's just not the same without them.

I've got the page open now. I hope MDN doesn't clear all connections before beginning. If not, I'm connected and ready to receive!

It will be 5pm tomorrow evening here in Ireland...
How am I supposed to concentrate on my work the whole day?

Here's some coverage in German and French:
macnews.de, mactechnews.de and macbidouille.com

Can't wait to see what the extra 30 minutes are for...

Remember the good old days when ZDTV carried the whole thing on their cable channel.... do they still even exist anymore????

@ Willie G

Can't blame me. I bought my first Mac in September.

Thanks MDN.

Peace.

I wish that Macworld and WWDC were free iTunes downloads. anybody with me on that? Also, I'm sure most of you know that Apple.com has the Keynote

I love the idea of the events being made available on iTunes. HUGE advertising benefits.

And just think about all the teenagers we could draw to this site. Oh, wait...

There IS gonna be a live video feed this year. Check it out:

I've never been able to access this site during ANY major Mac event for the last few years.

I see they upgraded their servers since last year, so maybe there will be a first time? ;o)

I've been locked out every time. That's OK, glad to see so much traffic.

I'm just gonna go take a sleeping pill.

This is WAY better than Xmas eve. I think I'll raid my 401k tomorrow. >.<

Ed Zander of Motorola says about mobile communication, said Zander, "is coming down to cool experiences and simple things." Do you think Steve has been taking to Ed again?

Don't be surprise when you're all disappointed.

"One More Thing:" There is no iPhone. BAHAHAHAH

Hold you horses, Jobs is going to announce a return to the G4 and G5, because they are sooo much faster than Intel's offerings, and he got a slide to prove it...

Yogeshimac
Chennai, Kolkutta + 5:30 GMT so 10:30pm (I think).

thanks warney..

OMG, if you guys want to see a snorefest where Billy Gates stumbles through the last 10 mins just watch this. http://www.microsoft.com/winme/0701/29031/CES.asx

For another take on the above mentioned snorefest http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/technology_internetcritic/2007/01/bill_gates_at_c.html

Jobs Almighty, why do they insist on letting Gates give these talks? There is no doubt the man is a shrewd business man but he's also a world class putz.

Mac4life, favorite blurb from the column: "Gates offered slim pickings there: IPTV, TV via the Internet, for the Xbox 360 gaming system and a high-capacity computer, using Windows Home Server software, that will bring corporate interconnection to home computing networks. In the Microsoft tradition of product announcements minus the products, both are coming out later this year."

Leopard out in the wild!

I'll be somewhere in the audience...they've moved the Keynote from the usual Esplanade Ballroom to Moscone West (across 4th Street from the main Moscone complex) so they can accomodate more people without having to use the remote viewing rooms they did last year (those were set up in North Hall, and North is being used for exhibits again -- it's like we're back in the Golden Age of Mac).

Looking forward to coming home and reading all the takes...

Thanks for the continued coverage MDN.

guys don't you feel sleepy its 1 am for gods sake

Wow, what a piece of crap CES Keynote. Literally, piece of crap.

Windows dude: "Look, I can use a Xbox controller with my PC to view virtual maps" "Cool, ain' it?"

Windows dude: "Look, I can have real video as my desktop wallpaper" "Cool, ain't it?"

Windows dudette: "Look, I can play "UNO" (her favorite game, btw) with another gamer on my Xbox" "Cool"

Windows dude:" We're No. 2 in mp3 players!" "Gonna sell 1 million, too" "Cool".

Bill Gates" "Now, you partners, go forward and innovate so that we can incorporate it into our products and claim it as ours or maybe we'll just buy you out." "Thanks.....SUCKERS!" Enjoy the CES. Good night."

From the blog...

"Instead, the crowd got the head of the sponsoring Consumer Electronics Association lauding Gates’ charitable work and showing a retrospective of all the wacky, “humanizing” things he’s done at past CES shows: dressing up, and dancing, as Austin Powers, for example.

Gates’ lack of news or sagacity was doubly troubling for the elaborate protocol required to get in, including making people sit in the auditorium 90 minutes ahead of the speech – without so much as wireless connectivity so they could make use of the time. "

MS and Bill Gates have no taste. No taste or class. I sometimes wonder who are the true cultists. Apple fans or Windows fans. At least Apple delivers on its vision, MS and Bill Gates instead exhort you to drink the kool-aid inorder to distract you from your impending tech nightmare.

hey guys when it going to show here down under? melbourne... Thanks guys
Paul

Paul, Google is your friend... Try "World Clock"...
It starts at 9am (Tues) in SFO, so that would be 6am (Wed) here in NZ, so probably a couple of hours earlier than that in MEL... 4am on Wed in Melbourne.

Thanks so much, l`ll look for it..
Paul

i`m waiting......3 MORE HOURS....
come on baby....

If there is a phone, it should be called Clarus.


MOOF ! ! !

Big news is Steve retiring or "leave of abscence" as they call it...the one more, one more thing.
First the one more thing to get people buzzing, then the one more thing of him retiring.

2nd big news is lack of any really new products (lots of updates) - as in where´s the iPhone that has been rumored for years? It could be the "first" one more thing - just a prototype to be okayed by the FCC, but not ready for 3-6 months.

3rd big news is Apple stock drops like a rock on the Steve news....no matter how much he says how much is in the pipeline.

please...so many pessimists in this crowd. It's going to be a good day.

Good morning fellow Apple enthusiasts! Man what a day! The sun's shining, birds are singing...there's something special in the air, and I'm not talking about the after effects from my dinner last night. I'm so excited, thank Jobs I've got a busy morning to help the time go by.

Have a great day everyone!

OBill: You forgot to add, "Patience, young padwans!"

I am stunned at the number of posts on here this AM (EST). WTF. Get back to work you slackers (joking for those who haven't had their morning coffee yet).

Can;t wait!

And of course the stock will drop...it always drops right after. Then it bounces right back once all the short sellers make their cash.

Patience, schmatience - bring on the circus! :D

Hmmm, it seems the force is not with my emoticons this morning.

Let's try that again...focus...focus...and... Viola!

Forget the new Apple products. I'm just excited that Adobe might show a preview of the new Premiere.

MDN,

Thanks for listing other sites that also offer live coverage - you guys are a class act!
