Corre o boato que houve mergulhos na ria... Care to explain? Anyone? :D - Daniela Graça

sim, senhor eu fiquei especialmente giro.... um pouco desfocado mas consta que é o meu melhor lado.... no proximo jantar ja vou saber montar bombas artesanais (cortesia das minhas raizes arabes) e o prof fotografo vai ter uma piquena (aka Manuela Ferreira Leite) surpresa.... - Tiago Reis

Epic Win. Ainda assim, mantenho o meu recorde do Guiness de fazer expressões idiotas em todas as fotos que apareço. É coisa que já dura desde o meu segundo aniversário, praí... - Hugo Monteiro

Tive muita pena em não poder ir... parecem muito divertidos, de facto :) - Benjamin Junior

Como a Cátia bem disse, para mais tarde recordar... ;) - Daniela Graça

Eu estive lá =D - Bruno Alves

eu estive la, caso isto nao comprometa a bela da minha avaliação! de outro modo, isto é tudo uma conspiração e a minha pessoa foi inserida nesta montagem escabrosa de forma totalmente abusiva e susceptivel do levantamento de um processo judicial! habemus dictu. TOTO power - Tiago Reis

Outro título para esta foto seria "Patrão fora,..." - Ivo Daniel

... "manifestação na loja" - Benjamin Junior

Eu diria que os mestrandos não brincam em serviço... são os líderes numa "casa sem rei nem roque", levando o ensino muito a sério. - Fernando Faria

Ficaram um pouco escuras as imagens... deve ser da conversão, nao? - Benjamin Junior

Também nao consigo ver... :S - Bruno Carmo

As cores ficaram realmente um pouco alteradas com a exportação mas não me parecem escuras...de qualquer forma, iremos melhorar essa situação. Eu não tenho qualquer problema em visualiza-las...vocês ainda não conseguem? (como alguém disse disse algures...devem ser coisas do sapo;)) - Cátia Resende

idem idem, nao consigo ver nada... - Tiago Reis

Já agora mário, não podias fazer algo em 125x125 com um toque de marketing? tipo "já conhece o ptblogs, dê força a esta iniciativa". Uma mensagem qq para a malta se sentir tentada a descobrir mais... - Benjamin Junior

Claro, já cozinho algo nessa onda. - Mário Pires

já lá coloquei dois, fiz png's para o fundo ser transparente - Mário Pires

Muito bom Mário :) Já coloquei o banner no ar no obvious. Será que podeiras fazer umas variações com mais cores? tipo, vermelho, preto, azul? Já agora, quando houver fumo branco relativamente ao novo layout, deveríamos colocar isso no blog oficial, não? - Benjamin Junior

:) Vou ver se ainda faço essas variações hoje. Sim, concordo com o fumo ;) - Mário Pires

Já coloquei as variações no grupo do Flickr. - Mário Pires

Já foram! - Mário Pires

acho que os banners estão suficientemente neutros para poderem ser disponibilizados publicamente... o que acham de se adicionar uma página no blog com isso? - Benjamin Junior

Por mim acho que sim, quanto tiver mais um bocadinho de tempo, vou procurar mais ideias para fazer outros, para os nossos futuros eventos :) - Mário Pires

Como devem ter repardo pelo meu Twitter, o disco do meu MacBook fritou, pelo que 3 dias de trabalho foram à vida. Estou fora até 3ª mas devo já levar nova máquina e voltarei a trabalhar na imagem. Sem falta, assim a Lei de Murphy o permita (este ano já é o 2º disco que me vai à vida. Arre). - Armando Alves

how'd we do - MG Siegler

hey it's like risk :) - MG Siegler

It's a small world playing - MG Siegler

LOTS of countries - MG Siegler

people clapping along to song - MG Siegler

yes Latvia! - MG Siegler

is that the annoying small world song? - Frederic

I can has iPhone nao? - Andre Heinrichs

35 and counting - MG Siegler

44 - MG Siegler

50 - MG Siegler

Lalala. Something to hear... - Andre Heinrichs

everywhere? - Frederic

so many african countries - MG Siegler

can anyone see if Colombia is in the list? - felix

cheers for india australia - MG Siegler

Please, people don't scream that loud. - Andre Heinrichs

70 countries - huge - MG Siegler

@felix - I've already seen a bunch in Colombia :) - Frederic

I'm SOO waiting for September when this baby launches in India! - Parth Awasthi from twhirl

Did I hear 70 countries? - Andre Heinrichs

@Frederic, ahh nice! When I went last year wasn't so good... Glad it'll be better next time! Hopefully AT&T makes some deals with them. :) - felix

@Parth, who's gonna retail it? Vodafone or Bharti or both? I hope not the CDMA companies. - Subhasish Das

Crap, not yet in Israel... At least not here: http://www.apple.com/iphone... - Eitan Burcat

@Subhasish Vodafone's press statement a couple of months back was generic w.r.t. SE Asia which was assumed to include India. Bharati made an official press release with Tim Cook that they will be launching in India in partnership. What puzzles me is the speeds that they will be able to support on their networks. popular high speed 3G technologies are CDMA based, UMTS & HSDPA: http://www.apple.com/pr... Though this was in the print edition of yesterdays BS, I can't find it online. - Parth Awasthi

Parth My concern too. Neither Bharti nor Vodafone have true 3G networks. Not much idea about the CDMA services. UMTS uses the W-CDMA air interface but it was designed to be implemented over a GSM infrastructure. Hopefully these guys would be in a position to implement it. - Subhasish Das from twhirl

its all about the software..,, - Ed Dale

iphone rev 2.0 will have the ability to levitate on command - sean percival

@christian - i like throwing twitter in there. all this killer stuff then twitter. you know I love it, but i doubt that would be a main focal point - plus, would jobs okay it with all the downtime woes? imagine him seeing that whale on the big screen :) - MG Siegler

There will be an app to allow us to view ten seconds into the future! - Joe Dawson

@sean - is that really a prediction, that's a given - MG Siegler

It'll have a twitter app, but you're right, there is no way in hell Jobs demos it on stage. It sure would be funny to see how he'd handle a thirty foot whale on the screen :) - Christian Anderson from fftogo

I think .Mac will be updated. Hopefully it'll be in my price range (ie it'll be free). @christian @MG Didn't Flickr fail while Jobs was debuting the new Apple TV? He just glossed over it, what a pro! - Mike

dotmac update, iphone 2, 10.6 demoed, maybe new laptops - matthew

How about just simple MMS? - Michael Pardee

two versions of 3g iPhone one with GPS, one without it. - ahmet bulent

I predict a major "holy crap" factor that ends up not being related to the iPhone. I think Stevie throws a bigtime curveball and blows everyone away with a new device that 'almost' (not quite) completely overshadows iPhone 2. I also predict .Mac becomes Me.com, and Apple also announcing some sort of new software application that's coming soon. (not AppStore) - John Reese

Like John I think there will be some other major announcement. I think the iPhone will NOT be released today (just not enough evidence saying they've arrived in stores) but will be announced. - Brandon Titus

Steve Jobs will announce that FriendFeed is acquiring Apple. - Amit Patel

iChat AV allowing for iPhone-to-iPhone or iPhone-to-Mac conferencing seems appleish enough - Nicholas Molnar

Apple announces the addition of the iCafé to every retail location. The menu will include such items as the iLatté, the iTurkey wrap, and of course the Apple apple iPie. iPhone 3G owners will be able to order directly from their device even from outside the iCafé. The built-in GPS will ensure that the order is not prepared until the patron is within a certain distance of the store. A location based delivery option will be rolled out later this year. - Kevin D. White

I predict a big announcement - Phil Maxwell

we're doing pretty well on our predictions so far... - Christian Anderson

What about all the predictions to do with the mac, mac mini updates and so forth? Harumph! - Tadhg Kelly

Subsidised Macs - sirishkumar

The feed from http://www.macrumorslive.com looks pretty stable. Updates via AJAX - Ken Sheppardson

Boom!!! - Kurt Stoll

let me guess what he's wearing... - Natala Menezes

Apple is really killing productivity today. Sigh. - Merry Xmas FFeeders - AJ

@AJ Batac - amen to that... - JA Castillo

do we need to refresh this page or will it do so automatically? - Doug Hannah

I'm following two live streams right now: http://live.yahoo.com/Viru and http://www.iphonealley.com/news... - let's see if any of them hold up - Frederic

Doug, it refreshes automatically, but not at every update. It refreshes every 1min or such, I think. - Opensource Obscure

Thanks.. - Doug Hannah

@frederic i think they're going to shut down the streams soon, cameras are done in 5 mins... - MG Siegler

@MG - after that - we will rely on you guys for our updates then - no pressure :) - Frederic

none at all, having fun :) - MG Siegler

I'm betting now that there will also be some new Beatles announcement - Kurt Stoll

Apple store being updated - http://store.apple.com/0120-AP... - Jaidev Sridhar

They're cutting off picture taking in 5 min :( - MG Siegler

could be pretty cool - my sister (visiting from paraguay) says they have phones with that feature there and it's the hot new thing (but few can afford it) - Sarah Perez

You can imagine Apple doing a spectacular job of this. Imagine live-streaming the view from the rear camera, with a smaller picture of you from the front camera, angled like when you share a presentation over iChat... - Garth Roxburgh-Kidd

Video Chatting would be revolutionary - They will overcome the usual problem with videophones - which is that nobody you want to call has one. Furthermore, they already have great software infrastructure for leveraging it. iChat will archive video chats, and you can use them directly in GarageBand to create video podcasts. - Robin Barooah

@robin - archiving video chats would be an interesting idea. - MG Siegler

i was initially skeptical, but i changed my mind once i saw how much more i used video chat once i got a macbook with a built-in camera, mic, and good UI. - Charles Hudson

3G - JonathanJoseph

Novelty. Video chat and MMS in general is mostly useless. - Tadhg Kelly

Come on, it will be revolutionary! Does images of Dick Tracy's wrist watch video phone come to mind? Sure it's been available within the mobile space but not on the iPhone. With Apple's incredibly successful marketing efforts this could be huge for live mobile video. Especially if iChat expands to Windows and we get a patch to connect to Skype. We want a broadcast app too, Qik needs to run on the iPhone. - Larry Kless

It will be a revolutionary novelty. OK? :) - Tadhg Kelly

does VB have a wwdc specific rss feed? http://www.seanpercival.com/wwdc08... - sean percival

no, but use the one for this room if you want :) - MG Siegler

there is something wrong with video chatting, steve jobs couldn't help himself to fix it. - ahmet bulent

Any luck that cameras will be 'optional' for the two-thirds of the enterprise that aren't allowed to have camera phones? - Larry

Videoconferencing has been considered "The killer app" by many for years. When I was in Hong Kong in 2005 I walked up behind a girl that was walking and holding her phone out in front of her... I thought it was odd and so I got closer and realized she was videoconferencing with some guy. From what I could tell the framerate was like 1fps or less. Nonetheless it was pretty cool to see. I think it definitely has potential to be revolutionary. - John Reese

revolutionary.. live experience sharing from any location. - Travis Parsons

Video calls are nothing new. Sony Ericsson and Nokia have had video calls and front facing cameras for years. Apple will probably just integrate it better with the UI and fanboys will of course love it. - Johan Paul

For thousands of years, AT&T has been promising that “video phones” are the future, and that they'll be brought to you by AT&T. But what people actually wanted was texting. Texting is nowhere near as “cool” but it's simple, works, and quite useful. Tech people often think cool stuff will be successful but often the mundane stuff is successful. (I apply the same to Second Life vs. IM) - Amit Patel

Not revolutionary at all. VC has been available on 3G phones for years (the US is certainly not a good benchmark for 3G deployment) and just never gets any use. In fact, many manufacturers that were all for it have started dropping front-facing cameras from their phones. I wouldn't put it past Apple to put a great interface around it, but I still doubt that it would get much use (something terrible about having to hold a phone out in front of you while walking). - Paul Gennai

If only everyone on Twitter didn't think this meant every Apple store. U.S. Apple store is still up. This pretty much solidifies the 3G iPhone announcement. - Brandon Titus

Seriously.... I wish Apple would just live video stream these things... - James Cook

I have been online for the last eight hours and it's really starting to pick up now! - Joe Dawson

U.S. Apple Store is now down. - Brandon Titus

yep... didn't know they had to take the store down just to add some new iPod Nano red vinyl cases :) - MG Siegler

I guess Apple's web crew isn't too sure about how to edit the site so they took it down just to be safe :P - Brandon Titus

U.K store is down. - Roberto Bonini
