Macworld Predictions

I don't know about the Macbook Air, but my guess is that the Something in the Air refers partly to a new environmental campaign by Apple. Its such a good year to go green. Remember, just last May, Jobs published his open letter on Apple's environmental efforts. Plus Gore is on the Board.

environmental?

Hmm, if it's environmental, shouldn't it have been "Something's NOT in the Air"?

You're a qwerty typist, aren't you?

Ever considered Dvorak or Colemak? ;)

[Tom Krazit]

No, not seriously

I had a friend where I used to work that swore by Dvorak, but it's taken me so many years to finally get really good and fast at QWERTY, I'm reluctant to switch. Ask me again in five years when I can't move my wrists.

Great another MacWorld where we don't hear about anything Mac

I am honestly getting pretty annoyed with everything coming out of Apple being about the IPhone, ITunes, IPod. Are they a computer company or a Media Distribution company?

I switched to Mac a couple years ago and feel like I am being abandoned to the Iphone, Itunes, and the IPod. I look for new software to be available, new mid-grade Macs (currently non-existent) and Mac OSX getting more and more support.. instead I get to hear all the buzz about how I can play music and movies on a phone.

I really want to see Apple being about the Mac or just opening up OSX to run off their hardware if the PC business is only going to be secondary to their Media Distribution business.

I am sure I will be disappointed no matter what the announcement at "ItunesWorld".

Re: Great another MacWorld where..

You must have tunnel vision.. Everything you mentioned has been
updated or improved many times over.
You feel "abandoned" to the iPhone, iTunes and iPod..?
I feel "enhanced" by those devices and software.

[pierce200]

I Agree

Mid-level Mac tower would work for me.
Not really excited about a thinner/smaller MacBook either. I'm not terribly concerned about the MacBook/iPhone gap.
Oh, and I don't need any more screen touching, although I'm afraid Steve's kind of hung up on that whole deal.

I'm not sure what you mean

I'm not sure what you mean. The iPods haven't been updated at MacWorld in years. The iPhone was introduced last year, yes - but you talk about expanding the reach of OSX, and that's another OSX device. The AppleTV was introduced at MacWorld last year, which interfaces directly with macs (really is effectively a cut down Mac Mini). But more importantly, none of the rumors for this years keynote really relate to the iPhone or iPod. They relate to MacBooks/subnotebooks, which are flat out Macs, as you want and they relate to an expanded AppleTV. I'm sure we'll get an update on what's going on with the iPhone, but I wouldn't count on new hardware - though I hope we do.

Today?

Is the live blog soon?

[dressner]

I find myself singing the Jeopardy theme...

It sure would be nice if there was at least some page that looked like it would have something on it soon, rather than going back to where I was from the link. For now, I'm on gizmodo. Sorry CNET.

[Sleep Dawg]

Wow

Gizmodo is totally SPANKING your "live" blog of the Macworld keynote. ***? Looks like complete meltdown there. Get it together!
