    if anybody is going (sam arent you?) can you make a post just listing all the new things that come out? i will be in school and wont have much time to check so i would prefer to be able to just check one thread instead of having to sort through a whole bunch of posts. thanks.

    Hah! I wish I could! :p

    I'm in school too during that time. I won't be able to actually go to Macworld, nor can I follow it by liveblog. I'll probably end up reading MacRumors or going to Apple.com to see what happens :p.

    I'll be at work, but fortunately it falls right around lunch time for me. I'll be following several sites that have people at the event blogging it live. The only thing that might get in the way is a surprise meeting :eek: .

    this is probably answered somewhere else, but can the general public attend the keynote?

    It does cost $299 (or $199 for "early bird" registrations).

    That doesn't exactly contradict what Sam said... but just don't get the impression that it's some big hippiefest that vagrants can just wander into.

    Yeah, you do need the right passes, I forgot to note that...what I meant by general public can go, as in non-journalists can attend, in comparison to some Apple events where only press are allowed to attend :).

    awww, that sucks. oh well, maybe i'll photoshop a fake press pass, book a flight out, and crash steve-o's shindig... on second, thought, maybe not as all that would dry up my gadget funds for the year.

    Kidnap Steve Jobs and demand iPhone 2s for his release :eek: :p.

    I'm sure Xander is being sarcastic...he couldn't possibly not know what's Macworld, considering he's been on these forums for so long :eek: :p.
