FWIW, i just came from the Cambridge Apple Store, and saw a worker tearing down all the store front displays (had been updated for the mini iPod). then, i was walking through the back, looking at games, and saw a guy (i can't say he was an employee, cuz he wasn't wearing the apple retail shirt) but he walked straight in all the way to the back, and into the back employee only area. he was walking a rolling lockbox (like we saw in the pictures from Paris Expo).
I'm highly confident now that something will be announced tomorrow. I can't really speculate what, since the lockbox didn't look quite big enough for a G5, but i'd guess a new G5 would come in a shipping crate anyway. But it wouldn't surprise me if the lockbox thing had all the new 'take one's and poster-type stuff.
anyway, looks like my Sony Platinum Select is going to take a big hit tomorrow!

Are you lying? Please, dont **** with me when I'm like this...this is just getting unhealthy. Geez, when I have a job after college someday, I wont be able to get married, own a house, or have kids...I need "mac money" for my addiction to all new Apple stuff. I'll be living on a steamvent with some sweet ass technology, at least!

hey,
like i said, i don't know what's going on, but i swear i saw the lockbox thing being wheeled in. one of the regular retail employees even looked at me, and asked if i had a question...i said i was just curious about the guy wheeling the box in. the employee was just like "yeah..."
i'm in the same boat, dying for a new Mac...i've been a 'starving grad student' for a couple years now, and need to retire my G3 to a life of fileserving. let's hope for tomorrow.
Apple is just toying with my emotions now... I can't work, I can't sleep, all I do is plow through every mac-related forum I can find, desperately seeking some glimmer of hope that *some* new Mac will come out soon.
Well its almost 5 am here in SF and me and my G5 are finally heading to sleep. I have a grant due before 9 am, but I'll check the web before my second round of sleep..If they have anything coming out then boy o' boy did they every keep it under wraps. Not a hint other than the date and our collective hopes. I' thinking we have a little longer for the next something, its too quite. Good morning east-coasters and goodnight moon..
I guess January has indeed turned into a non-hardware month.
I am afraid Apple has lost interests in their computers.
Way to much hype on iPods.
Apple needs to get back to their roots.
The MP3 player thing won't last nearly as long.
Dont get all ridiculous over a "no update" day. Apple will take care of its computers because they do provide the revenue source for the company, not the iPod. The iPod is being hyped and understandably so, the company is in a unique position to completely dominate that market. While you say "it wont last long", I think youre wrong. Apple's roots are based on innovation and sometimes innovation comes at one major cost, time. Give some of that to them and you'll likely see what you want to see.

Isnt the Xserve hardware? Technically speaking so is the iPod.

its still a bit early to be saying 'nothing today'
With so much media attention in the US focussed on the New Hampshire primary today, today is less-than-ideal for any sort of major announcements.
