Rumor: MWSF Keynote Agenda
This rumor comes to you from our friends in France at iPhon.fr. I have searched elsewhere and cannot ferret out another reference. Don't know where this originated but it follows Steve's format of presentation and could be authentic or just another rumor like Keynote Bingo where you download a Bingo card covered in supposed topics to be covered in the keynote, you cross them off the card as they are announced and see if you win Bingo. If you play, remember to cross of the updated Mac Pro (A FREE space)
