Man on the Spot Interview: Michael G. Ströck
TUAW is pleased to bring you this Man-on-the-Spot report live from Moscone West
Hi Michael
Hi
Can you tell me what it looks like over there at Moscone West? What's the mood like?
It's certainly the best-behaved and most MacBook Pro saturated crowd I've ever seen People have been lining up since 5.30 in the moring. I personally arrived at 6 am, and there already were a few hundred people waiting on the sidewalk.
People are discussing the news that's coming, throwing crazy ideas around. Others are discussing their jobs and why they are here. Nobody seems bored. They keep the crowd moving through the building. I'm in the first 5 percent or so of the line, and we are now up the escalators.
But there already were at least 200 people here when I arrived A nice touch: When you get up to the second level, they have free catering for the participants, and there were some funny scenes with people trying to grab a muffin, taking pictures and running along to keep at their place in the line at the same time.
What rumors are flying through the air right now at Moscone?
I've heard something about a new Finder. Appears to be called "Mighty Finder" this is from "a reliable source" but I think it's just a crazy rumor. I don't have any inside information!
What are the other hot rumor topics/hot topics of speculation out there?
Only the stuff that's out on the web anyway. As for the line, right now we're no longer moving. People are even sitting around on tables, typing away at least at the top of the line, where I'm right now.

Apple really needs to stop using these dumb names. Mighty Finder... I hope it doesn't actually say that on the computer.

I'd personally refrain from calling any part of an OS something that can be abbreviated "MF." You're just setting people like me up for a good string of profanities when a system beachballs up.
