I wonder if there are drugs/devices where you can get a full night's sleep while also squeezing in an Apple keynote somewhere in there. Kinda like a dream machine that channels live blogs/ etc into your brain while you sleep. Someone's working on it as we speak. It could also be a memory implant kinda thing. You wake up in the morning, run through the five-minute implant procedure and Boom! You've implanted a memory of staying up following the live blogs and refreshing the Apple.com page five million times.
On the eve of the Sunflower iMac launch Apple seemed to be screwing with our heads by putting teasers up on their home page-- one of them just said "Beyond the rumor sites. Way beyond."
Which drove us mad. Then, the Canadian Time Magazine jumped the gun by publishing their new iMac cover in the wee hours before the keynote, and those of us insomniacs holding down the fort got to fiercely debate whether that was a fake or not, and if it wasn't what, exactly, we were looking at.
Then, we were all bitterly disappointed because we had taken "Way beyond the rumor sites" to mean that Apple was launching a fleet of their own satellites and offering us free broadband for life, among other things.
Wait... you didn't get your free satellite broadband for life kit? (Note to self, Adda is not one of the cool kids.)

3 am!?! Thank goodness I'm in California that way I only have to worry about snowstorms, tornadoes, earthquakes or the state deficit killing me while watching the keynote at a reasonable time.
I'm hoping this is like when the iBook was introduced. I remember watching that real time and he is doing something network related and picks it up and walks across the stage and there is this collective pause as we realize there is no network cable. Then everyone flips out.
I changed the rules so I could post a minute early, because I am an unscrupulous bastard.
Although I now know that my computer clock is completely in sync with the AI server clock, since I hit the post button about 1 second earlier than that last four and it showed as 12:59.

You beat me to it.
It's kind of like bidding for something on Ebay-- you have to get in there right on the second.

Okay I am kidding. I will probably go to bed soon and set my alarm for 9:49 (gotta have time to hit snooze on that iPhone!)
party's over
Oh, it's just getting started.

Yeah, but if your post doesn't show as being right on the hour it doesn't count. According to these rules I just made up.

Some of you might need to try it.
