20:21 - Open your QuickTime and say your prayers, 'cause Stevie Jobs comes tonight...	(top)
Tomorrow morning's the keynote, and it's anybody's guess what treats it will bring. The rumor sites have been pretty quiet for a while-- well, maybe quiet isn't the word. Perhaps confused. there's nothing substantive to be heard. Whether it's wireless keyboards, new iApps (or new versions of old iApps, some of which are indeed due), new iPod-type stuff, or a revamp of the TiBook (also due), nobody seems to really know. There are new versions of iCal and iSync posted already, though, so those aren't going to be big keynote surprises. I'm kinda inclined to see this as a good thing; if these are being "silently" released the day before the keynote, then in order for the keynote to have any substance it's going to have to center on other stuff. (It'd have to do so anyway; iCal is much faster now, and iSync is much smoother, but neither of those are keynote material.) So there's likely to be something big on the way. No massive day-by-day appetite-whetting like they gave us last year in anticipation of the iMac's release, but that means nothing historically either. So, we'll see. In any case, it means I'll be up at 9AM to catch the live feed. Last year, our annual sales conference occurred on Keynote Day, so we could only catch the first half-hour or so (which saw the iMac's unveiling and the first few minutes of iPhoto) before they packed us up onto buses and drove us into the hill resorts to hobnob with the international sales force. But this time, the conference isn't till next week; so we'll get to see the whole thing. Chances are that it'll be obvious within the first twenty minutes or so whether this will be an upper or a downer of a keynote. (This time around, it's not quite so cut-and-dried; the CPU situation in particular has got a lot of us feeling a bit bleak.) I'll have to come up with some cutesy superstitious things to do in order to ensure a bountiful harvest. Fingers crossed...
