I might have a few ideas though but absolutely no knowledge. Let us know what you know.
You are absolutely right though. Something is coming and I'm almost going to ask my doctor for Prozac to keep down my excitement (well, not really). If His Steveness hadn't mentioned the 20'th anniversary of the Mac, noone outside of this kind of board would have thought about it.
And this is what differentiates what I call "Macintosh Hezbollah" from Windows bigots.
The dissection of every minor detail to try to ascertain whether a given date - only a fortnight in the future - may contain some new excitement for us to salivate over.
Is it a video artefact? Has it changed? IF it has changed, will it change again on the 26th to reflect the new monochrome logo? WILL it change again to have a more relevant strapline?
Why do you spend all of that money lovingly adding in an iPod onto the runner? Because you can? Or because you secretly want people like us to do exactly what we're doing because you ultimately know that the gossip will cause expectation that will spill into the mainstream (pronounced 'sane') community?
I love it: Steve Jobs has turned into the frickin Riddler, and we're all sitting here like some bizarre cross between Jack Ryan, Batman and Clarice Starling. Really we should all be applying for intelligence analysis jobs with our respective national security services, except - in my case - I'm far too heterosexual for MI5 and I haven't been recruited by the Communists
It truly is a world gone mad, and I'm nuts just for contributing to it.
Reports circulating at Macworld suggest Apple will have some more CPU announcements by the end of the month. Upgraded G5s and possibly a new form iMac. We'll have to wait and see. Remember, Apple no longer waits until Macworlds to make announcements. They're made throughout the year as products become available. Get it?
Well, actually, 24 January isn?t a Tuesday, it?s a Saturday. But given that it?s *the* 20 birthday of the Mac? seems like a good time for a product announcement.
The like of which seemed to be missing from yesterday?s events.

i think that an anouncement will either be on that friday(the 23rd) or the following monday(the 26th)for business purposes.

Actually, it reminds me more of Kremlinology. Look! Malenkov is on the second row, THIRD from the left! That means Voroshilov is out of favor now! iMac G5 next week!
But why wouldn't Apple want to do a big hype product spot for something new? Updated G5's are nice, but you really don't celebrate an anniversary by releasing a minor update, which could have been done at a event were there is inherent publicity: Macworld! If we see anything the week of the 20th it will be a revamped iMac or a complete new, cool product. Anything else is a waste of money.

One drawback, to get your G5 up to 88mph you have to push it off a cliff!

Holy $#!+, it's true.
And forget fuel cells for the new PowerBooks, they will have plutonium batteries or a Mr. Fusion.
Now we need Christopher LLoyd in the next ad campaign instead of Goldblum.

Apple might post them to the web on the 24th with Press Releases to follow.
