Hmm.....the snow continues to fall here in C-Town. Yesterday it looked like there was barely any snow outside, grass starting to show up in my yard and the bball court (aka driveway) was clear. Now, everything's covered in white. Nah, our school never closes. Don't be so silly.
<strong>Apple Denmark has invited the general public to see the keynote at two locations (for the first time ever? Heklp me here JLL). Normally its only press, resellers aso.

If im not mistaking, Apple norway is also doing this.. ( Not very surprising, since Apple Norway/Sweden/Denmark share the same offices(??) Im sure they follow the same strategy.)
it's at least 10 times faster than any other thing..
the only delay it has is the components delay... and they are much smaller than 2 ghz..
but apple would have to build a motherboard that is clockless too.. with a clockless bus..... and some form of translation to a clocked PCI/AGP bus..
a clockless RAM should be VERY VERY expensive... so apple would need a translation for the RAM refresh clock also...
but it would be way beyond rumor sites ( well, not anymore), and where no PC has gone before.... and would blow us all away... and it would be the ultimate backstage pass to the future...

A bit old. We mailed the guy and he wouldn´t tell. But since he have had problems with Apple (and the hype around it gave extra hits on his HP) we think he put it up there deliberatly without knowing anything.
Someone has a "This message cannot be read on a G5"-signature as a reference to VueScan

Yes, AFAIK it's the first time that Apple DK has invited the lowly public like you to a keynote presentation.
Apple Germany is also hosting some kind of keynote thing for the first time AFAIK.

Apple Norway/Sweden/Denmark does not share the same offices. The Danish one is in Søllerød north of Copenhagen.
But Apple Denmark and Apple Norway are managed by Apple Sweden (Apple is pretty big in Sweden).
Wow, 32 pages now. Keep it up, we can mkae this thread even bigger. I think we are looking at something big, but i have given up trying to figure out what. Tomorrow cannot come soon enough.

And we needed to know this because...
here's the link to CNN:

No info about any events they are holding in the Netherlands for the occasion though.

<strong>That is one big power button!
</strong><hr></blockquote>
Actually, the powerbutton is small... that little thing is the iWalk!
*CONFIRMED*
The iWalk *has legs and actually walks*, which is why it's called "I WALK" !!!
Don't you people EVER think for yourselves?

Sniff...sniff.
Is that sarcasm I smell?

THATS what the hype is about. Apple invented the 1.5 inch CD
It can acutally burn DVD format onto a Euro coin.
it's at least 10 times faster than any other thing..
the only delay it has is the components delay... and they are much smaller than 2 ghz..

<strong>a clockless chip would be so f*c8ing great !
</strong><hr></blockquote>
It would be a nice machine, but holy crap, how do we explain how fast a machine is then?
When kids in my youth group go "Macs suck cause they're slow..."
And I'll only be able to say, "Well, even though the Pentium 4 is at 2.2 ghtz now, the G5 is actually so fast there's no number they put on it..."
And they won't believe me.
A typo??

They did the some with The Ti upgrade last time when they included a combo drive....

I think they just copied spymac "to be prepared":
"Il semblerait qu' un PDA "Made in Apple" soit sur le point de voir le jour ! l'iWalk (son nom reste Ã* confirmer) pourrait bien être l'une des surprises annoncées par Steve Jobs pour la MacWorld Expo qui commence lundi ! l'iWalk utiliserait un MacOS X "light", avec une interface brossée, et des boutons similaires Ã* ceux de QuickTime 5. En outre, l'utilisation de cet appareil semble se faire par l'emploi d'un stylet sur l'écran, avec une reconnaissance de l'écriture assez puissante. Il serait pourvu d'un navigateur internet, de plusieurs ports (entrée et sortie audio, port FireWire, port infrarouge)."
