by STrRedWolf January 14, 2008 12:16 PM PST: I take it you've looked at the bingo card. Have you heard of the supposed leaked keynote outline? Register Hardware has a report about it here: http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2008/01/14/leaked_keynote/

Of course, if you play the bingo card, and the outline is real, that means someone out there is going to cry BINGO at the keynote if Steve says "Wouldn't it be great..."

I'll have to play the video later. Right now, I'll have to grumble over Portal not being ported to the Mac or Linux.; Like this Reply to this comment

Remember, just last May, Jobs released his open letter on Apple's environmental initiatives. Plus, Gore is on the board.

by ripragged January 14, 2008 6:22 PM PST: The predictions are all in. Simply put, it's impossible to guess. His Steveness has outfoxed us all. No matter what we guess, it won't match the reality. For good or ill. No one has gotten it completely right yet. He even introduced the iPhone when everyone thought Cisco owned the name. Only a few deep (DEEP) insiders have ever even SEEN the next new thing.

Having said that ? a friend, whose cousin's ex-wife's father's former high school football coach's nephew grooms dogs for a janitor at 1 Infinite Loop, tells me that His Steveness will finally introduce the multitouch beer label and the WiFi-enabled corkscrew (with 802.11n foil cutter). Of course, anyone who keeps up with the innertubes already knows this.

I know I wasn't supposed to tell, but I never could keep a secret.; Like this Reply to this comment

About The Macalope: An Apple blog

Born of the earth, forged in fire, the Macalope was branded "nonstandard" and "proprietary" by the IT world and considered a freak of nature. Part man, part Mac, and part antelope, the Macalope set forth on a quest to save his beloved platform. Long-eclipsed by his more prodigious cousin, the jackalope (they breed like rabbits, you know), the Macalope's time has come. Apple news and rumormonger extraordinaire, the Macalope provides a uniquely polymorphic approach. He is a member of the CNET Blog Network and is not an employee of CNET. Disclosure.
