Last year’s Macworld in San Francisco had sizable growth from the previous year with an 11% overall attendance increase. There was also a 13% increase in the number of paid conference delegates; a 10% increase in the number of exhibitors; and a 31% increase in the average number of hours spent on the exhibit hall floor by attendees.

the poop dolla cometh.
This announcement marks the start of a whole new flood of lame and feeble predictions by the totally unimaginative and thoroughly moronic. 99% will be completely wrong; the other 1% are merely lucky.
I LOVE IT BABY !!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a totally unexpected and surprising development!

Let the speculating begin…
OOOh, OOOh, I’m peein’ my pants.
Hey Mike Buonarroti, since you don’t know that to be a fact, isn’t your post merely a lame and feeble prediction? If it does indeed come true, are you merely a part of the 1% of lucky predictors?

Seeing how his statment is based off of the repeated cycle that is the mac rumor mill, it’s merely a simple statement of observation.
Mike, isn’t that the same percentage as men who masturbate vs. those that lie about? Is there a connection? hmmm.
This is it! Jobs will finally bring the new Macs with Intel chips, hopefully Powerbooks …!
“This is it! Jobs will finally bring the new Macs with Intel chips, hopefully Powerbooks …!”
I hope note intel can burn in hell for all I care! PowerPC all the way!
this is gonna be the year of the….Mac?
I’m wondering if there are any software applications ready for the potential macs with intell chips if they were to be introduced in january.
This is just an observation; but the record of ‘getting it right’ of Think Secret and Appleinsider must be over 60% and when they say the sources are ‘very reliable’ then it’s somewhere over 90%.
JEG: Steve’s modus operandi is to always have one or two vendors on stage with him when he does stuff like that. You can expect that he will either have either or both the head of Microsoft’s MBU and the chairman of Adobe up there announcing Universal Binary versions of their key apps. The question is whether they will be new versions or .1 revisions.
This confirms that new products WILL be launched at the keynote!!
DROOOOOOOLLL….
sniff sniff…is that apple stock hitting 88 and splitting again???? Go Steve you are on a major league roll…gimme some broad band wireless video!
What! No Philnote! We get stuck with a Stevenote again!
I am totally bummed out.
I would have been shocked if Steve wasn’t giving a keynote. Revealing features of the upcoming Leopard would in itself be a sufficient reason, and the timing for that is about right…
It’s no news. I knew he would do it anyway.
Will Nicole Ritchie be there?
Cuz if she is I ain’t goin.
This is fantastic news! Great way to start another great year for Apple and for Mac users! I am partying tonight!
Hmm … might take some profits if there’s a rise before the “news.”
Steve won’t have time to demo Leopard with all other product announcements he’ll have to make (read: in the rumor mill)!

Seriously, i expect Leopard to be demo’ed at WWDC 06 and not before.
On Leopard introduction, if they want to kick some ass with it, my guess would be that they need about 10 – 12 months to develop it, just like tiger. So this keynote would be the right time to demo it, get developers working on it and to be in time for vista-introduction.
At the same time, it would make sense in terms of new Intel hardware for their Pro-line of products (new processors only available 2nd half 2006). I’m leaning towards the people thinking it will be only consumer-products getting Intel first. Powerbooks/macs will come with the introduction of Leopard, which fully utilizes the Intel-features, at the same time having the majority of applications available to run natively which is not the case for January.
My 2 cents.
“lame and feeble predictions by the totally unimaginative and thoroughly moronic. 99% will be completely wrong; the other 1% are merely lucky.”
ha. irony alert. you just made a lame and feeble prediction, you totally unimaginative moron.
