Macworld Product Line Keynote Leak (RUMOR)

For those of you who have speculated on what Apple is releasing this coming Macworld 2008, here is the complete list of items that was leaked from the Keynote draft. This leak was found through several sources including blogs and forums. The highlights for the keynote include a MacTouch, a dual 9″ touch screen portable (think of a huge Nintendo DS but the screens are side by side), 3G iPhone and SDK, the MacBook nano, and mobile Penryn chipsets for the other portables. Nothing is of course confirmed, but the list is a bit fishy as there is no announcement for Microsoft Office 2008.

As an added bonus, the MacRumors site includes the entire stage direction transcript as well:

Steve enters from backstage and welcomes the audience to MacWorld 2008. He says that there are big plans for the day, but first he wants to provide numbers. His focus topics are the adoption rates for iPhone and Leopard, as well as quick notes on iTunes, iPod, and Mac sales.

Steve then apologizes, saying that there is nothing as big as the iPhone this year, but he thinks a lot of smaller “revolutionary” changes are happening that will hopefully make this year exciting as well.

Here are the rumored product launches:

Guest Post: ‘Circus, Circus’ by RJ Ledesma

Note: This article was originally supposed to appear in RJ Ledesma’s regular column for the Philippine Star. A few text messages back and forth had me agreeing to publish his work on this blog. Note that I am not a political blogger but I do understand how it feels not to have one’s column published for one reason or another. So here it is. RJ writes about the recent Manila Peninsula series of events.

Guest posts do not necessarily reflect the personal opinions of this blog’s owner, but are nonetheless fun to read, thought provoking, or cute. 🙂

For comments, suggestions or halo-halo at the Manila Pen, please text PM PGI to 2948 for Globe, Smart and Sun subscribers. Or email ledesma.rj at gmail dot com

Save the Environment. Recycle.

I don’t know if they were literal about recycling Bong Revilla over and over again in these “breakthrough” Filipino films. Discuss.

Boracay is the new Batanes: An Interview with Iza Calzado and Ignite Media

Batanes showing at The Tides

Wednesday morning
Went to airport for the press preview of Batanes the Movie starring Iza Calzado and F4’s Ken Zhu. Movie preview of Batanes will be at Batanes. Cool, ain’t it. Exciting for me as the last time I was in Batanes was more than 10 years ago for a student seminar. It was a memorable experience making friends with the Koro Ivatan and playing on the grassy cliffs that resembles much of the scenery you see in Mel Gibson’s Braveheart. I’m hyped.
