iPhone Bingo from TUAW: What's Next?

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (RSS feed) on Jul 2nd, 2007

What's next for the iPhone? TUAW hasn't a clue, but we've got ideas. Kooky ideas, like Chris Pirillo buys an iPhone, loves it, and rants about his errant ways and logical fallacies. We've got some pretty obvious ideas too, like someday iPhone will probably support Java-- maybe. More likely than the Pirillo scenario anyway.

But if any of these or 22 other things come to pass, TUAW has you covered. We've created the iPhone "What's Next" bingo card for your long-term bingo playing needs. It may take years before Flash is on the iPhone, or the Pope gets one, but when they do you'll be ready with a penny or something to mark it down. Enjoy!

thanks to David Chartier and Dave Caolo for your help!

WWDC 2007 Keynote bingo

by Scott McNulty (RSS feed) on Jun 9th, 2007

It wouldn't be a Stevenote without a little bingo thrown in for fun, right? John Siracusa, of Ars Technica, has once again posted a PDF of his bingo card so you can play along on Monday. Just in case you aren't familiar with this whole Keynote bingo thing, here's a quick overview: Steve gets on stage, you ready your bingo card and cross off spots when something that matches the card happens (Steve says 'Boom,' new iMacs are introduced, and so forth). It makes a Stevenote even more fun (if such a thing is possible).

If PDF isn't your thing, you can also download this WWDC Bingo application. The neat thing about this app is it'll create a random bingo card based on 100 options, so chances are your card won't be the same as the person's sitting next to you.

Siracusa takes Keynote Bingo to the next level

by Michael Rose (RSS feed) on Jan 8th, 2007

A powerful meme, this keynote bingo is. John Siracusa, the Mac muse of Ars Technica, has taken his WWDC Bingo card concept, crossed it with the flock of Macworld Keynote Bingo generators now in circulation, and come up with his canonical Bingo Card for this year's Stevenote.

Unlike the randomly generated cards, this One True Card "documents the hopes and fears of the card maker" as it strives for balance between plausibility and fond wishes. Designed by John McCoy, the card has the "monolith" look of the Apple teaser page and the subtle humor we've come to expect in this genre. Check it out.

Keynote Bingo for Macworld 07

by David Chartier (RSS feed) on Jan 5th, 2007

These two Macworld 07 Keynote Bingo card generators almost make me wish I wasn't going to be live-blogging said keynote; it would be *so* much fun to be able to leap up and shout bingo in the middle of, say, the 30-inch iMac introduction. Of course, the subsequent beatdown from the surrounding fellow Mac nerds probably wouldn't be quite as much fun, but boy would it be worth it. I'm not really sure what the difference is between the two - I simply found them via Ranchero's blog. Fortunately, they both seem to offer the ability to create a card based on a random number you pick; that way you can re-print cards later to prove to your own fellow Mac nerds (that is, if they didn't beat you down) that you truly did score.

Have fun! Just don't blame us for any resulting bruises or hospital bills.
