Ugh. Wednesday morning, 2AM, if you're in Tokyo. At least I'll probably still be jet-lagged, so it should be easy to wake/stay up for it. I can't imagine having much of an appetite at 2am, though.

Attempt #3 at writing this, safari on my touch keeps crashing to the black screen

While I agree with you, why not the same consideration for microsoft post? Why don't the apple boys do the same?

Telling fanboys to not troll each other's newsposts is like asking the Pope to not pray for a day. It just wont happen.

I thought i was the only one having that happen on my iPod, the music cuts out too sometimes while using the internet...

You sure about that Chris? People seem to love to eat up the bullsh*t Steve Jobs spews.

Please have a second helping of Stevie's bovine fecal matter. Take it with plenty of your favorite M$ ketchup.

Will Gizmodo crew try to mess with Macworld too? :-P

Neutral

Mike @ Jan 12th 2008 6:31PM

That was extremely unprofessional on Gizmodo's part. Turning off the wall of displays is kinda funny but I can't laugh at them turning off a monitor someone is using for a presentation. They are messing with these presenters' jobs and embarrassing them in public. Overgrown kids like them should be banned from tech shows until learn to behave like adults.

Neutral

StrangeBum @ Jan 12th 2008 2:22AM

Maybe it's the inner prick in me. But I thought what Gizmodo did was hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing at that video. I felt bad for the people, but come one, it's all for fun right. I mean it's CES a whole show full of Gadget nerds, who doesn't appreciate a little practical joke every now and then.

Brad @ Jan 12th 2008 3:38AM

@StrangeBum: No, that's not the inner prick in you, that's the outer prick. Imagine if someone came in to where you worked and knocked over all the coffee cups. Then imagine that they posted a video of you looking flustered during your annual review. That's a dick move, and fucking with other people's jobs just to get a cheap laugh is, well, childish. Imagine how outraged the Gizmodo authors would feel if someone showed up on their site and hacked it in the midst of Macworld, and turned off their server's ability to render text. Of course they'd be pissed, because their livelihood (or at least that of Gawker) is tied to their ability to sell ads, and thus to do their job.

Sorry, I don't think it's funny or clever, esp. since TV-off key chain remotes have been around for like a decade at least. Nothing new, nothing clever. Yeah, you made a sales guy uncomfortable when his salary was on the line, good effin' job. You must be proud. Hey, next time bring a laser pointer and point it at the screen!!!

I used to do that when I was 14 with my watch. 14.
And no, they won't do that in macworld; wanna know why? Because they are pathetic fanboys.

Is it just me or has every tech blog been gearing up for Macworld pretty early this year? I'm not saying that it's a bad thing, but it seems earlier than usual. I guess it shows that these things are getting more and more publicity each year!

I'll be at school during the keynote! I hope at least by the time I get home the stream will be posted! Does anybody know what time it is usually posted? I can't remember from the past years.

We flock to it, ad revenue is driven by fanbois and hatahs.
Seriously, I have clicked on four Macworld banner articles today KNOWING the comments will only be about flatulence and airport but I STILL CLICKED! I wonder at myself--not at the blogs.

When Apple released the recorded version of the keynote, the Quicktime link will be on this page:

http://www.macrumors.com/2008/01/10/mwsf-2008-spoiler-free-keynote-stream/

Point of that being, people who want to learn about it the way it was meant to be learned about can stay away from all the websites, then just go there for a Quicktime link and watch it from the beginning, but it's just a nice place to see whether the keynote's up anyways.
