They’ve asked us to silence our cellphones and paging devices as a courtesy. We hope we can help make this final Apple keynote at Macworld Expo a good one.Ĩ:59 PT – DM: You’ve brought a tear to my eye, Jason. So thanks in advance to Dan and the rest of the team surrounding us this morning. Dan will be providing the play-by-play, I’ll be your color commentator, and Macworld’s own Dan Frakes, perched between us, is our “spotter.” He’s the guy we’ll go to if we miss a particular dollar figure or specification for a new product. I mean, what else is there to talk about, really?Ĩ:57 PT – JS: Not to throw out a sports analogy, but really, we cover these live events as if they were sporting events. There’s a definite rumble of people talking behind us.Ĩ:55 PT – DM: I can’t hear precisely what they’re talking about, but I imagine it’s in reference to the lovely San Francisco weather we’re having. The press and Macworld Expo speakers have been seated and the rest of the hall is filling up right now. And indeed, we just had The Killers, though I can’t quite place who’s singing the current selection. These are the details that you want-nay, need to know.Ĩ:54 PT – JS: This is the portion of the show where Dan and I tend to talk about the music that Apple’s playing as the hall fills up. So close that we can see the fabulous lines of Phil Schiller’s impeccable hairdo. As Jason said, we’re ready to type furiously from the second row here at the keynote.
Dan Moren is with me as well, and we’ll be reporting to you live as Phil Schiller takes the stage to present new Apple announcements (we hope!) in a few minutes.Ĩ:53 PT – Dan Moren: Hello live update followers.
