What time?

At what time (GMT) may we expect to hear any news, if there is any?

Coxswain?

It's the (preferably) light person calling out sync oders to a Crew crew, as in rowing.

At what time (GMT) may we expect to hear any news, if there is any?

If you mean news of Tiger, it would most likely be early morning to mid-day in U.S. east coast time, based on previous announcements. But there's no guarantee.

April Fools... What a Drag

I work with a bunch of clowns and bafoons. Every day is April Fool's. If Tiger ship date is announced today, it will make it all better. In the mean time, WHERE are the Wenches in the ranking system?

If you mean news of Tiger, it would most likely be early morning to mid-day in U.S. east coast time, based on previous announcements. But there's no guarantee.

So, I guess that would be about 1600-1800 GMT ?

How are we going to know if any Tiger annoucement is a fool's joke or not?

 

[John Rivers]

Hot News!

I think it's quite clear that Apple is using the person who posted the Tiger intro video as a pawn to distract attention from the REAL news that they are releasing Powerbook G5s.

Seriously...really...my neighbor told me...it's gotta be true...

you will be either able to pre-order it or there will be a counting down ticker on the homepage of apple.com

 

[sw1tcher]

So I guess that means that the story over at ThinkSecret about Apple releasing a dual G5 PowerBook on Tuesday is a hoax then.

never really thought of myself as a pawn before ? more of a knight

At what time (GMT) may we expect to hear any news, if there is any?

I guess the stores will go down at the usual time which usually happens at 12.15 GMT (if on standard time, which I think is still true for the US) for worldwide stores and about half an hour later for the US stores.

 

[sw1tcher]

you will be either able to pre-order it or there will be a counting down ticker on the homepage of apple.com

But you can already pre-order Tiger through Amazon.com now.

 

[Apple!Freak]

Guys, want to hear something fairly funny? PodGear just introduced a product called the PodShave for the iPod. It's a shaver that attaches to the top of your iPod. *Holding in laughter*

 

[R.Youden]

I was in my local Apple store yesterday and say a big box with the words "Apple promotion display - follow instructions carefully" on the side.

 

[Nermal]

But you can already pre-order Tiger through Amazon.com now.

And soon you'll be able to preorder it from the Apple Store

[bigdz68]
