MacWorld Keynote Announces x86 iMac & Laptop
Steve Jobs began giving his keynote at 9am local time, PST. The action was posted live at MacRumorsLive, and Engadget. From the Engadget liveblog: "How many [iPods] did we sell last quarter? Some of the estimates were getting astronomical - 8 million, 9 million. I'm really pleased to announce that last quarter we sold 14 million iPods .. that is over a hundred every minute, 24/7 throughout the quarter. And it still wasnt enough. We've now sold over 42 million iPods -- as you can see the curve is going up again" MacWorld and Ars Technica has coverage as well. The shiniest news: MacBook Pro. iSight, Front Row; $1999 1.67 Core Duo; 667 DDR bus, Radeon x1600; $2499 1.83GHz. Intel chip.

If you say "MacBook," you have to go outside and spit, then do three spins.

With the switch to Intel, I can see why you're a little confused... these will be running Mac OS X, not Windows.

You'd better be prepared for the Mac fanboy onslaught of "If it's not Scottish, it's CRAP!"

And on the seventh day Jobs rested and saw what he had made, and saw that it was good.
They were going to announce one designed especially for women, called the Lady MacBook, but there were some stains they couldn't remove from the material they had chosen for the case...
