I heard Fil was wetting his knickers. But not because of the Keynote. He does that anyway.

I am. The January update usually seems to be the best one.

I got all excited, wondered why none of the feeds were running, then realised I was 24 hours too early.

For the *real* :macwanker:s, macrumors.com are going to be running a "spoiler free" page which will have a direct link to the recorded keynote a few hours later, here:

Good luck managing not to hear anything until the video's released, it's pretty much impossible

Not for me, I'll be teaching from 5:30 so I'll miss the live stuff and so I'll be a good 4 hours behind you lot by the time I get to watch the viddy.

That'd be nice

I've been reading rumours of flash drives which would make sense if people are hoping for a thin lightweight laptop. My concern is the size vs cost problem. 128gig drives have only just come out and to be honest anything less is pushing it these days for disk space.

Here you go. It's on The Register so it must be true

Does it come with suction cups underneath, cause it doesn't look terribly stable.

Nope, it doesn't even get last weeks Mac Pro announcements right.

I don't see why that's an issue for this type of device, people are hardly crowing about the eeePC only having a 4Gb SSD.

The Eee doesn't really need much more. Do you think 4gig (Hell or even 16gig) would be suitable in a Mac?

My current Leopard install with no extra apps at all (Fresh install) is taking about 14 gig. The sort of people buying Mac laptops will tend to have very different usage patterns than the ones buying 4gig Asus laptops.
