Think Secret has a rundown of all the pre-keynote rumors, which ought to tide us over now that it's been revealed that the webcast of the keynote speech won't occur until 6:00pm, nine hours after the speech is delivered at 9:00am. (Evidently the cost of a live broadcast to the Web and the Apple Stores was deemed prohibitive.)
"Life is Random", proclaims a giant banner that fell down and was accidentally revealed to passersby with cameras.
And there's more. Plenty more. Something tells me I should just stop writing the book for a few days...
UPDATE: I provide the shallow gut-reactions, and Daring Fireball provides the real analysis. He's got the historical perspective to back up his theories (though his claim that every iMac revision has always put the model line on the same CPU platform across the board is wrong—when the flat-panel iMac G4 was released, Apple kept selling the candy-colored iMac G3 for months afterward).
He makes a strong case for Apple pursuing every avenue in chasing down leaks and rumor-spreaders like Think Secret; when Apple's business is on the line, regardless of whether the law is on their side, they've got to try whatever arrows are in their quiver.
