    Apple forum members,

    Macworld Expo 2008 is fast approaching, with Apple CEO Steve Jobs' keynote on January 15th, at 9 AM PST. There will be no live video stream of the keynote open to the public, but several websites will be updating as the keynote is in progress. Apple will also post a video of the keynote later in the day on www.Apple.com.

    Some websites that will be liveblogging the keynote include MacRumors Live, Engadget, Macworld, Ars Technica, Gizmodo and more.

    We'd like to remind everyone to keep the amount of similar threads to a minimum. If you notice an existing thread already discussing a released product, please post there instead of starting a new one. Thank you! :)

    Sam & cashmonee

    I love the Giz, but their coverage of the past few Apple events has been pretty sketchy (slow reloads..non responsive). All of the sites get blasted pretty hard. Engadget held up fairly well the past few times.

    I hate how Apple doesn't provide a live feed anymore. I feel bad for you guys that haven't been following Apple for very long. In the good old days you could watch the Keynote live via streaming (if you were lucky enough to get a stream). I used to live in Dallas and I would drive to the Apple Business Center and watch the keynote live in their conference room. It was like a mini Macworld. :D Sometimes we would get swag and they always had the latest models available to play with. Those were good times. :cool:

    Oh, right. My bad, didn't read all of it.

    And Engadget is getting hit pretty hard by the traffic. It took me 5 refreshes just to load a decontented version of the homepage, and god knows how many more refreshes to get onto the actual liveblog page....At least Gizmodo is doing alright.

    no update to the mbp...that was really upsetting.

    the mb air looks really cool and the ram/processor are impressive...but with the crappy video card, only 1 usb slot and 80gb 4200rpm hard drive i'd only get it cause it's ballin'.

    Note: The old guy at the end uses some profanity! I think his name is Randy Newman. :p

    I saw an episode of Family Guy where they made fun of Randy Newman. Funny thing is that the silly song he sang on FG was better than the one I heard during the keynote. I wonder if he has a spitting problem. :D
