First in line for the keynote



These fortunate guys are first in the general admission line for tomorrow's keynote; they've been waiting since 12 noon today, a full 21 hours before SJ-time begins. Granted, there are shorter lines for Platinum/Super pass holders and for media attendees, but there's even folks waiting in the Super pass line already.

We won't comment on the wisdom of camping out overnight for the opportunity to sit in the front for a 90-minute product intro, but we will say this: stay warm, dudes, it can get very chilly at 4 am during a San Francisco winter night.

I admire their excitement. Now if only they could translate that excitement into finding girlfriends, they would probably have something much better to do on a Monday night. But until then...go on with your bad selves :)

Oh man c´mon, this is only a product, you have become slaves of consumism. Don´t you think you could be doing something that fullfills you life more than standing in a line 21 hours to see a new computer for 50 min or so? It´s just stuff!!! What about your life, go home, ug your wife, or girlfriend, kids, friends, go out and spend some quality time with the ones you love, you might only live once....you computer is a tool, not the reason to live.

I can't say i don't get it - it's cool to be super excited about something - but well pointed out in the article - it's a 90 minute product intro.... then again i wasn't one in line for an iPhone (i do own one).

Good luck gettin the choice seats guys.
