There's a delicious irony in this that makes me want to believe it. SJ himself is feeding us clues as to what his presentation will be:
"Everybody always wants to know what I'll be revealing. Well, this time I told you, and you didn't get it! Now let's take ' This one is big'. Here's our current 22" Studio Display - the largest, best quality LCD available. Here's our new one! 27"! It really is big, even by our standards!" etc. etc.
[Yes, I know Steve would be a lot more clever. That's why he gets to do these instead of me...]
SJ must be laughing his butt off. Ya know, this is eerily reminiscient of Codename and his cryptic posts.... You don't suppose... :eek:
But if Apple does this now, they'll have to do it at every keynote, and people will be 'deciphering' these slogans before every speech. <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />
I actually thought about this today. It would not surprise me if Jobs went through the keynote and at certain points, pointed out the comments on the front page that had to do with what he is announcing/talking about.
People, people. I think all this desire for new product is really starting to affect our judgement. Apple are just screwing with our brains cos we are letting them. We are soooo passionate about our platform that we will try and look into anything that they put out now....and you know what.....Apple are just sitting there laughing...at us!!! Hell, Steve Jobs could say to his marketing team "hey let's have some real fun and post "2 days till MWSF....why did the chicken cross the road?" Let's see those geeks pop an anuerysm now!!".....and he knows that we'll be there at 3 in the morning trying to figure out what the hell that might mean.
We'll all debate that maybe it means OS X will go to the other side. Apple is a marketing company as much as it is a computer company. It has to do that to make people sit up and take notice. I just don't want to see people get hurt after the Stevenote and start threatening this and that cos Steve didn't come through with rumours.
Let's just see what they bring out. In the meantime keep lots of water next to you cos we're gonna need it after the amount of salt we'll be consuming with these hyptheses!!

ESPECIALLY if he was behind changeing the whole BOLDLY GO thing. (Ie. if he told the web guys to change the headline to boldly go...) because it is somehow in the keynote like that...

guys, i think they added "boldy" cuz the noticed the graphics guy mistakenly omitted it -- or they just realized that's the way the moniker is better known. This is one thing i wouldn't read in to...
they changed it because they didn't want non-mac users visiting apple.com and saying "to go where no PC has gone before???, ha! just like apple to do everything second rate"
so they add boldly and then its
"ha just like apple to rip off other people"
then steve jobs goes medieval on all non-mac users, it takes him 7 years 8 days and 12 hours tto complete this massive worlwide ass whooping
Now I'm absolutely convinced this is what it is...
I'll go WAAAY out on a limb...

I don't think the satellite concept is on target. You will be masticating an insect, hehe.
However, I will say this... About a year ago I was on a Napster Ambient chat channel with some guy that was chatting from Florida. He said he was in a limo and I asked if he had a long ethernet cable. He said no; I was intrigued. I said so what, you have some sort of internet satellite access? He didn't answer. I inquired further and he said he was on a Mac with some sort of wireless net access that was top secret and he couldn't say anymore. So we returned to the original subject matter of chatting about mp3's. It was really odd, the whole conversation.

Strange story... I remember reading this exact thing a year or so ago (maybe less) but it was an IRC chat session...
Anyway This was posted on MacRumors message board by a 'guest' poster (read as: anonymous) about an hour or so ago... I wanted to post it here before the clock struck 3AM (I'm in the east)...
For Saturday it is "Full speed ahead: Lust factor ten"
I don't think he is for real but...
[edit]
Hmmm now I see that SpyMac has reported this... now I dunno who did it first... Oh well...
Spymac has tomorrow's slogan on their website now. I found this very interesting because it was an image, not just the slogan. It seems like the image would be very easy to compare to the real thing once it came out.
I looked all over the forum to see if there was already a topic on this, but I didn't see anything so I started one. When I got done with my post, I saw that someone had completed a similar post within 3 minutes of mine. I wrote a followup commment, and then the thread I started was locked.
Does anyone have any idea why my thread and the other thread on this topic were locked? As far as I can tell, they were not redundant other than to each other (in which case one or the other, but certainly not both should have been locked).
I've lurked on these boards for over a year now, and this is my first posts on the new boards. It's kind of rubbing me the wrong way at the moment.
<strong>Guys! Check it out... the BOLDLY graphic is assigned (2) which means they probably goofed up and BOLDLY is Day 2's wording!!</strong><hr></blockquote>

<strong>Here is the meaning behind all those messages.

I think they will be very specific:
1. This one is big... A New larger Cinema display
2. Blown away... New game hardware/software
3. Way beyond... Wireless technology or maybe Gigawire
4. Backstage pass... QuickTime 6 with MPEG4 preview
5. Where no PC... the new iMac with Tablet mode
6. ???... something about the G5 PowerMac
